Kids KDP activity books are very popular on Amazon and sell very well. One such niche within the overall category that does well is the KDP scissor skills book. Not only does it sell well but there are also numerous sub-niches which allows us to target a larger number of markets. IN this video we take a closer look at the niche, go through the steps I go through to validate it i.e. to make sure there is a market for the books. Then we look at some resources and tip for creating the interior for these books followed by the factors that help get your books seen on Amazon. These books along with other KDP low content and medium content books are a great way for building an online passive income and starting on that online business journey.

About this video - In this video we look at the KDP scissor skills niche, a very popular book that sells well on Amazon.
Very helpful information. I’ve traditionally and self published for many years. One take away is that investing in marketing is an absolute must and something I wished I’d learned earlier. Running Ads can take you down a never ending journey of wasting money. Best approach is to run some Ads as an email capture and build a newsletter list. That goes with you anywhere. Good luck fellow writers!
I appreciate how you break down each step of creating KDP activity books, especially the niche validation and keyword research tips.
Thanks a bunch Paul! Your heart of gold is outta this world 🥰 Thank you!
I have a home daycare. Thank you so much for your tutorials. I can make these myself now. I'm also enjoying your coloring pages tutorials. I make them for myself and the kids.
You're welcome. I'm glad you've found the videos helpful.

You're welcome. Glad you found it helpful.
Thanks so much Paul!
You're welcome.
Another nice video! We'll have hundreds of scissor skills books uploaded shortly I guess haha ;) 😀
I have realised unless you spend a few thousand on advertising then it’s hard to get anywhere on KDP.
I’ve been hearing this more and more lately. I think it’s just become so saturated.
wayyyyy too saturated. gotta spend on ads 💯
@@SunnyandTrufflesthere's no way he never ran ads..
@@LiveLifeBeingThankfulso if your 1st sale is on august then in August you sold 16 books? 16 books in one month? If that's correct then I think it's actually pretty good.
When you start in a market like kdp and its doing great you dont see many people publicizing but when the market slows they buy my course on how i made a great deal of money begins.. if you dont have a coarse then you begin with the affiliates to help keep that income rolling in.. nothing wrong with free enterprise but you have to run the numbers before hand.
Hi Paul, love all your informative and great content! Since it appears that most book sales come from KDP do you think it advisable to distribute through them and their extended distribution as opposed to just letting them distribute through Amazon and get your own ISBN number and include like Ingram Spark? Perhaps their extended distribution would be just as good as extended distributors as Ingram as far as outside sales?
Extended distribution used to bring in a few extra sales but not a huge amount and even less since many books don;t qualify for extended distribution. Ingram Spark is certainly a good option.
Thank you very much for your kind and thoughtful reply.
Hi
Can you make videos on making an e book. For example cover design... About size of cover and interior?
Hi, first let me thank you for the tutorial.
Can I ask one thing?. The cover of such books, is it a hard cover or is it like the interior?
Thanks.
Hi, Paul. Thank you for the video always. I have a question. If I make an interior like this (10:50) without much modification after downloading from Creative Fabrica, is it against the usage rule of CF? I am just curious cuz I had been terminated before.
Thank You.
You're welcome
Thank you 😊
You're welcome. Thank you for watching.
Thank you Paul, very detailed tutorial as usual. Quick question, can the same book published on Amazon KDP be published on Lulu or other publishing sites please?
Good question. I’m also interested
Yes, they can. You would normally have to purchase a new ISBN for those sites. You can't use the same ISBN that Amazon gives you.
When I create my own journal with some content on the inside, like daily actions, are the left and right page margin the same or are they different to accommodate the gutter on the inside. So left page right margin for gutter and right page right side margin for gutter...if that makes sense. Thank you!
Yes, the left and right side are different to account for the gutter.
Thankyou
OMG - why so serious in the thumbnail, tho? LOL🤣
It's an experiment with AI!
Wow, your video was incredibly informative, and I appreciate how you broke down the process step by step. Your expertise in finding profitable niches and creating book interiors is impressive! 😊Do you have any other tips or strategies for keyword research, or perhaps any insights on optimizing book covers for better click-through rates?
Very informative! Keyword research and optimizing book covers are indeed crucial aspects of self-publishing on platforms like Amazon KDP. Remember that both keyword research and book cover design are ongoing processes. The publishing landscape is dynamic, so regularly reviewing and optimizing these aspects of your books can help you stay competitive and attract more readers. 📚🎨
Hello Mr. Marles,
For a book created with a 120-page PDF file, should I write the description part for Amazon as 60 pages? (Since the pages will be double-sided when the book is printed, should I write half of the PDF page count for the description section page count?)
No. 120 is correct
No, it would be 120 pages.
♥♥♥ thank youu@@paulmarles
Will using the free images we get from creative fabrica cause problems such as license problems in the future. I know that we cannot use these contents directly. We need to change a little bit. I have been suffering from visual problems since I started Kdp. I live in Turkey and the dollar rate is very high here, so I can't pay money to places that provide images. I couldn't solve the licensing problem with the free ones. By the way, I'm your big fan, I'm following you all the time. When your new video comes, I watch it with excitement. I learned many things from you. You are amazing.
I can't really comment on what will happen in the future.It is all explained in the canva licensing page.
My question wasn't about canva, but thank you anyway.@@paulmarles
I really like your way of explaining things! I was just wondering.. you keep saying this is a toddler ou child book.. But isn't also an exercise people do in physiotherapy after an accident? or people with permanent difficulties with articulations ou coordination? I couldn't find anything related to that on amazon. Is it because there is no market for it or these people get by with childish images? Thank you!
Thank you paul. There are free AI websites. Can I work with the images you generate with some modifications?
You won't have the commercial license which I have paid for so you could get your account banned.
Second one 🎉🎉🎉
When I uploaded my cut out book, I got this error. Any idea? During our review, we found that the book format is not supported. KDP offers paperback and hardcover print formats. Content designed for other formats, such as wall-hanging calendars, magazines, periodicals, or spiral-bound books are not allowed. To prevent a negative customer experience, we will not be making the book available for sale on Amazon. Learn more about KDP’s content guidelines
Without seeing the pdf file you uploaded it's difficult to provide an answer. But it sounds like the dimensions or orientation of your pdf file is incorrect.
@@paulmarles Thanks! I thought it had something to do with the content, that they do not wanna print cut-out themed books or something.
0:45 hello from Morocco 🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦🇲🇦
Welcome from Morocco!
Paul, you seem to be one of the most honest, helpful and sincere channels out here. It’s really hard to find them.
I’d like to ask you about no content books, such as lined journals and blank journals. Does kdp still allow them to be submitted or are those two types of books so saturated that they’re frowned upon by amazon? Thank you!
The low content books are still allowed, of course. He even says it himself in this video, if you're new to start on a simple lined notebook.
You just need to check the box and mark them as "low content book".
Saturation sadly is everywhere on KDP atm and you can't do much to avoid it. Just try and see how it goes
They are still allowed and a great book to start with.
Thanks Paul, you've been a great coach!
But I've got a question
How many pages should a normal LCB book have such as the example given in your video
It varies from book to book. Go to Amazon, look at the listings for the book you want to publish and see how many pages most of the books have.
Great video but I've been confused as to how the first book you bring up is selling at 3.99 when it's "Independently published" and 108 pages? Very peculiar.
I know. It appears to be making a loss. It's been priced at that amount for a long time as well so I can't see what the strategy is.
@@paulmarles Thanks for the reply. My confusion comes to how they can even set that price at 3.99 since KDP won't allow that based on the page count.
Hello, some of the files, I think, on Gumroad will not download correctly. I have a Chromebook, does this work with that website? Thanks.
I don't use a Chromebook so I don't know if there are issues with downloading files.
@@paulmarles That's fine. Zip files are a weak point for me but I got it figured out and was easier than I thought it would be. Thank you for the reply.
Hi paul is it possible to find your self publish book on Amazon?
No, I'm afraid I don't give out my pen names as my books just get copied.
You are the best! Everything is clear and without unnecessary "water". Russia is watching you.
Sir is Bing's picture is allowed in kdp published???
I don't know. I haven't checked their licensing agreement.
Thank you so much ❤ And is anybody there who can explain to me how to make a dotted line at 10.16 thank you in advance🎉
👍
Second to comment.
Hi paul my account has been terminated an d i want to move to ghostwriting so idk maybe if you can help or be my coach🥺
Hoping for reply
Hi, I'm sorry to hear that. I'm afraid I don;t provide andy coaching services for ghostwriting but I appreciate you asking.
First to comment 🎉🎉
I spy books it is a trademark?
Have you checked on uspto.gov? I think it proabbly is.
@@paulmarles Yes I checked it's not under the ic016 categories but I find in Google some lyrics titles under the name I spy?
Sir how do you get ur images for your KDP book
Creative Fabrica and Vecteezy mostly.
He sounds Brutish 😂😂
Maybe because I am British!
@@paulmarles 😂😂😂
There is no purpose for sharing niches with your followers because after one week those niches will be very saturated.. Stop deceiving your followers
The accent .....very Brutish 😂🇬🇧
