The Side Hustle Show - Full Episodes - Low Content Self-Publishing on Amazon: Making Money with KDP Print on Demand

What is low-content self-publishing? This business allows you to make money with Amazon's KDP publishing platform, without all the rigors of actually writing a great book. With these types of books, the value doesn’t come from your years of experience and a 35,000-word brain dump. Instead it comes from how you’ve structured the mostly-blank internal pages and prompts, and who you’re targeting as your customer. What low-content publishing aims to accomplish is to accelerate your product creation by focusing on a very specific sub-set of books: *journals *diaries *planners *notebooks *sketchbooks *and more With Amazon’s print-on-demand KDP print service, you can upload these products as digital files, hold no physical inventory, and collect passive royalties whenever they sell. But there’s an art and a science to it, and that’s why I’ve assembled a panel of experts in today’s show. I’m joined by three experts in the low-content publishing space with more than 1,000 titles between them: *Rob Cubbon from RobCubbon.com – Long-time listeners might remember Rob from episode 81, back in 2014. Rob’s been in the low-content game for the last year or so and in that time has published over 1,000 titles. *Flav Mederios from SideBusinessLaunch.com – Flav was a guest on episode 300 of The Side Hustle Show last summer, where we were talking about his merch business. Since then he’s expanded to the self-publishing space with around 300 titles so far. *Rachel Harrison-Sund from RachelHarrisonSund.com – Rachel built her low content business to 6-figures a year on a very part-time basis. But as you’ll hear in this episode, there’s some seasonality that comes into play, there are some competitive factors that come into play, and there’s a little bit of a gold rush feel to all of this. Tune in to hear how these low content publishers go about their product research (so they don’t waste their time), how they price and market their books to maximize sales and royalties, and how they manage such wide-ranging portfolios.
