I never understood why people would spend time on creating tons of poor quality books. It is much more rewarding to conduct and enjoy the research and the creation process. That will put your head space into the ‘need’ of the customer. It may not be perfect but at least customers will appreciate the effort and say “oh cool that’s exactly what I had in mind”.

I have about 450 books. All published in this last year and I do make a full time income now. But the big sellers for me, are in one niche. I think it can be a bit of luck, getting into a low competition niche, getting good reviews and then producing a good product as well. :). My best sellers are low content as well, rather than notebooks.
@@dreammotivation9949 Sort of journals with prompts - I personally don't have any activity or puzzle books and most of my sales are in the uk.

It's only luck if you're randomly creating books. If you thouroughly research the niches you want to create books for first, then you would know which niches are low, med or high competition before you ever make the decision to spend time creating books within that niche. Otherwise you will spend many hours making books that will never sell, and not really know why books that did sell well, have done so. That applies to just about any product in retail.
@@RagsToNiches Do you know of a decent book the way you describe it, thats written by someone that's similar in construction to one of your own?

Thank you for posting this. I recently started publishing lcb on kdp and was wondering how many of each niche I should publish. Then I decided on a figure of 10. Now I'm watching your video and you are suggesting the same thing. Thank you.
Sooner or later the spammers on Amazon kdp will be taken down. It’s just a matter of time. Quality low content books will survive. Thanks for the video! 🙏👍
Muy bien Nuria!! Sigo todos tus vídeos desde España. Pienso que eres de las mejores en publicación sobre KDP. Explicas muy bien y te preparas muy bien los temas. Podrías hacer un resumen también de tu income de TH-cam o de tus blogs. Pienso que el trabajo que haces con los ingresos pasivos son muy muy satisfactorios. Te escribo en español porque en algún vídeo he escuchado que entiendes ❣️. Enhorabuena por tu progreso
hi , thankyou so much for this video , it was really encouraging .i bought rachel harrison sunds course but i made a book before i bought this course .it has sold one copy in japan last week .From the course that i bought, ive learned that with enough research your book will sell ! so im halfway to publising that now 🙂i am interested in what you said about childrens books , you mentioned a course .Where can i access that ?kathryn ❤️
Hi Kathryn, I love Rachel Harrison Sunds channel and learned a lot from her, I am sure her course has helped you. You can take a look at my course here: thehomeboss.podia.com/childrensbookcreator Best of luck with your books!
Stop thinking about the money, continue to produce your book covers. It's another form of work, have a strategy and enjoy the KDP Journey. You can open a Gumroad shop to sell Ur books
Aloha Nuria! My thoughts on "creating lots of books with different covers" are my personal experience as a buyer. If the covers are high quality, and the interiors are the same in all, and one, in particular, strikes me as "the ONE", I think that's a good thing. I have several to choose from. If the covers are "spammy" looking, I do walk away and won't buy.
Well I think the answer to the question would be kdp does __% per book sale, so if you sold a book for $__ then you'll make $___ before taxes and your taxes COULD be around £____ per tax year.
Tony, I would suggest that you watch as many youtube videos as you can about the subject, and maybe try my step by step tutorial on how to make your first lined notebook for Amazon. Then see how you feel about it and hopefully it is something you can learn: thehomeboss.com/how-to-publish-your-first-low-content-book-on-amazon-kdp-for-beginners/
Yes, this is the first month I have been trying ads, I earned a good income before without them. But from what I can see, ads have definitely helped my sales. I will make a video about ads as soon as I have more data.
@@TheHomeBoss thank you for your response. It's encouraging to hear this. I just started my kdp journey and I find it really exciting and challenging on so many levels! :D
Hi Thanks for all you content, this is so helpful for someone starting out. I do have one question. When you say create 5/10 books in one niche, you mean of the same book with different covers or you mean different types of books in that specific niche ?
It's always best to make unique books. If they are notebooks, then of course you can make them with different covers. I recommend to make them just for practice, once you have mastered the process, always move on to books with more content than notebooks. Best of luck on your KDP journey!
if everybody want upload for example 10 notebook and get more sale simple but in same time complication simple if have high quality pro cover and high quality interim design and complication if have normal design cover and interim design i think market now 2021 need pro desing thank you so much princess Noria
It's sort of frustrating. I can't imagine how someone could really create a business this way unless you're looking at possibly a five-year plan as slow as Amazon is about reviewing a simple low content book. I mean if I have a couple of books hanging to go live for over two weeks or more then I can finally try again you can't really build up a nice catalogue at Amazon, can you? Unless you're looking at years of doing this I would think. Am I wrong?
It depends what kind of books you are making. A lot of books get approved very quickly. But it really isn't about quantity at all, you don't need a lot of books to be successful. By the way, if your books are waiting to be reviewed, that doesn't stop you from creating more books in the meantime.
@@TheHomeBoss Ok well thank you for the response. Yea I actually had some ideas to make even notebooks more unique and interesting. I have just the two waiting for review for starters to see how it all goes. I wonder if I should create some others and submit them or just hold on to them once my first two have been approved? Or I hope they will be. lol Thank you again.
@@badtupram Notebooks are taking a long time to be approved at the moment as Amazon are prioritising books with more content. I would continue producing and uploading while you're waiting, but I would venture into other books that are not notebooks. Try making log books or planners, notebooks are very competitive and you would have to make something really outstanding to get sales. The only notebooks I sell are funny notebooks for the gift market but I wouldn't be able to earn enough from notebooks. That's the truth. Others may disagree, I know there are people still making money from notebooks but it doesn't work for me personally.
@@TheHomeBoss Thank you so much. I'm following your advice and presently working on some other books. I followed your videos step by step to produce my first books/ I never expected to sell any at first but was just concerned with it taking so long to be reviewed. I understand now though why it may be taking so much time thanks to your timely response. I also want to tell you how much I appreciate your videos. Your channel's views should be soaring as you're one of the most sincere people I've found on youtube. Thank you for everything you're doing to help us.
Thank you for this amazing advice, do you make AMS for promoting your books? if yes , is it for a specific book/niches or for all of them, Thank you in advance for your reply
I have recently started with ads and I still need to learn a lot. I only advertise books that are already selling to sell more. I will start experimenting more in the near future.
It's not a problem. I only sell 20-30 percent of my books. Every succesful kdp seller will tell you the same. Most books don't sell, but the ones that do can provide you with a full time income.
@@TheHomeBoss Hi Nuria, but how have you managed to sell 20/30% of all your books so far without Amazon Ads and without any launches? Thank you very much!
@@umbpot Launches are really for full content books, we don't need launches for low content. It's more important to have good keywords and doing your niche research. I am now doing Amazon ads and it has really improved my sales compared to just selling organically.
I'm just getting into Amazon publishing now and I know I'm late to the party but my question is how are people publishing 5 books a day? Are these like calendars or something? I'm writing and illustrating my first children book, and it may take me 3 months
You're doing the right thing! Publishing 5 books a day is not what I recommend although there are people who publish even more than that. They are low content or no content books which are books with the same repetitive interior but different covers such as lined notebooks, journals, planners and log books. It's great to start with a low content book if you're a beginner but my advice is to then move onto more complex books.
Mrs.Home Boss do you mentor for hire like keywords search editing ect thank you for your response I love your spirit and how you teach Innocent Very Truthful 🥰
Releasing several books in one niche is a great idea (unless it's an activity book of any sort of course). You never know which one will stick. As for the quantity of books - I think there's no definite number. I've made my first $1k in profit with just 10 books actually selling.
@@TheHomeBoss thank you! I must say I am surprised myself. But in case that's just a Q4 boost, I'm not stopping. Challenged myself to get to $10k per month in profit by September 2021!
Congratulations! But could you clarify if you mean that you only made 10 books or only 10 books out of all the books you created sold? (if that's the case, then how about many books have you created)? Thanks ☺️
@@pat4005 I've made some lined journals early on and I have about 100 of those but they do not sell. The 10 I talk about are not journals, they are study aid books.
Hello Nuria thank you for this very interesting video. I am new in KDP adventure. My question may be silly but I suppose that when you publish the books with very different covers, you have a different pen name for each book ? And do you make some slight changes in the interior (color, font...) or are they 100% the same ? Thanks for the answer if you come across that question. Take care
You can make books with the same interior but only if they are lined notebooks or similar types of books and even some log books. I would always make sure that your books are unique with different interiors so that you can stand out. You don't need different pen names, that is up to you; I personally like to use a different pen name for my different brands, and I have 3 main brands that I use now. Thank you for your question and for watching the video, and best of luck with your KDP adventure!
Hi, I am ready to start publishing my book! I already have an Amazon account (because I'm an FBA SELLER), would you recommend using the same Amazon account or setup a new Kindle account. Would it have an impact on my FBA account? I don't want to get shut-down
More time than if I was working in a normal job! I work a lot of hours but I can also take time off without having to ask anyone. The more time you dedicate to this, the quicker the results. But it can also work for somebody who has another job and only does this on the side.
@@TheHomeBoss I've dedicated 300 hours from the last 3 months. I've created 1300 books in different niches (low content, no content etc) and all with good attention to quality but I don't have the results I need to have my goal is 400£/month and I just make 50 for my best month
@@douglasrochacorreia5529 That's a lot of books in a short time. That means you spent far less than an hour to create each book. To research a book and to create a good cover should take longer. How long do you spend on keyword research?
@@TheHomeBoss I spend a lot of times on each book I assure you. I spend 1 hour on searching a niche 30 minutes for keyword research with tools and 1h30 on creating 5-10 design on the niche
Hi Nuria. Could you please tell me what amount required in my account to be able to utilize it in paying ads? I have a problem with my credit card, and I need to start an ad campaign. Thank you
Whatever amount you spend on ads gets taken out of your bank account automatically at the end of the month. You need to connect a bank account to your kdp account.
Can you do a video on creative fabrica in detail like if you want to buy some artwork for books how does it work and also if you are selling interior how does it benefit the seller
I have never sold interiors before, so I can't make a video about that. I have made videos before using graphics from Creative Fabrica, I will make another one soon. Thank you for watching!
If it's not something people are looking for then you're not going to get many sales. But it could also be that people are not aware of it. If you can promote this niche either by social media or ads, you might stll get some sales. It's hard to tell unless you try.
The answer is in the video and it's not an answer you can give in numbers. I know people want to know that if they make x amount of books they will sell y amount of books.... that's not how it works. Which is what I explain in the video.
@@TheHomeBoss Wow thank you for your response, i have another question you can answer this as your next video or drop it here. there are actually site that sells book interiors what would happen if two or people bought those interior and at the same time publish it on kdp? do you recommend us to buy book interior from third party sites?
@@dantereysabado7483 I always recommend that if you buy ready-made book interiors, you modify them so that they are different. You can do this on Canva (free) or any other design software that you use. th-cam.com/video/gFTjw3ctHQo/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TheHomeBoss
I never understood why people would spend time on creating tons of poor quality books. It is much more rewarding to conduct and enjoy the research and the creation process. That will put your head space into the ‘need’ of the customer. It may not be perfect but at least customers will appreciate the effort and say “oh cool that’s exactly what I had in mind”.

Aloha Nuria! My thoughts on "creating lots of books with different covers" are my personal experience as a buyer. If the covers are high quality, and the interiors are the same in all, and one, in particular, strikes me as "the ONE", I think that's a good thing. I have several to choose from. If the covers are "spammy" looking, I do walk away and won't buy.
Well I think the answer to the question would be kdp does __% per book sale, so if you sold a book for $__ then you'll make $___ before taxes and your taxes COULD be around £____ per tax year.
Do people not perhaps buy similar books with different covers and feel cheated or have to send them back or? 😮
Right information ✅
I am not too good with the computer but can learn, do you think I can learn this strategy, or do you have teaching that can help me.

Mrs.Home Boss do you mentor for hire like keywords search editing ect thank you for your response I love your spirit and how you teach Innocent Very Truthful 🥰
Releasing several books in one niche is a great idea (unless it's an activity book of any sort of course). You never know which one will stick.
As for the quantity of books - I think there's no definite number. I've made my first $1k in profit with just 10 books actually selling.
Totally agree! Well done on your profits, that's an amazing achievement!
@@TheHomeBoss thank you! I must say I am surprised myself. But in case that's just a Q4 boost, I'm not stopping. Challenged myself to get to $10k per month in profit by September 2021!
Congratulations!
But could you clarify if you mean that you only made 10 books or only 10 books out of all the books you created sold? (if that's the case, then how about many books have you created)? Thanks ☺️
@@pat4005 I've made some lined journals early on and I have about 100 of those but they do not sell. The 10 I talk about are not journals, they are study aid books.

Hello Nuria thank you for this very interesting video. I am new in KDP adventure. My question may be silly but I suppose that when you publish the books with very different covers, you have a different pen name for each book ? And do you make some slight changes in the interior (color, font...) or are they 100% the same ? Thanks for the answer if you come across that question. Take care
You can make books with the same interior but only if they are lined notebooks or similar types of books and even some log books. I would always make sure that your books are unique with different interiors so that you can stand out. You don't need different pen names, that is up to you; I personally like to use a different pen name for my different brands, and I have 3 main brands that I use now. Thank you for your question and for watching the video, and best of luck with your KDP adventure!
hello dear, do you use ads to advertise your books and enhance your sales?
Hi, I am ready to start publishing my book! I already have an Amazon account (because I'm an FBA SELLER), would you recommend using the same Amazon account or setup a new Kindle account. Would it have an impact on my FBA account? I don't want to get shut-down
No you should make kdp amazon account for book publishing. You can'nt use fba account for this purpose.
What about major variations of the covers?
10 different covers with the same interior? or did you also make little changes in the interior?
What can you say about books withiout copyright? I mean I want to find child content Free of copyright and make for them my own illustrations...
Is 5 in a niche mean 5 copies of 1 or 5 copies of 5?
The 10 books in each niche - do they all have the same title?
What do you mean by 4 kind of variations??
Quality trumps Quantity in my book anytime.
Hey! Could you please tell us where we can find your books?
They are all on Amazon. I don't disclose what my books are as some people copy them or leave bad reviews on purpose.
@@TheHomeBoss okayy! no problem ♥
How much time do you pass each week/day on the business ?
More time than if I was working in a normal job! I work a lot of hours but I can also take time off without having to ask anyone. The more time you dedicate to this, the quicker the results. But it can also work for somebody who has another job and only does this on the side.
@@TheHomeBoss I've dedicated 300 hours from the last 3 months. I've created 1300 books in different niches (low content, no content etc) and all with good attention to quality but I don't have the results I need to have my goal is 400£/month and I just make 50 for my best month
@@douglasrochacorreia5529 That's a lot of books in a short time. That means you spent far less than an hour to create each book. To research a book and to create a good cover should take longer. How long do you spend on keyword research?
@@TheHomeBoss I spend a lot of times on each book I assure you. I spend 1 hour on searching a niche 30 minutes for keyword research with tools and 1h30 on creating 5-10 design on the niche
@@TheHomeBoss I don't have a design background but I progress day after day
5 covers same interior???
❤️❤️❤️
Hi Nuria. Could you please tell me what amount required in my account to be able to utilize it in paying ads? I have a problem with my credit card, and I need to start an ad campaign. Thank you
Whatever amount you spend on ads gets taken out of your bank account automatically at the end of the month. You need to connect a bank account to your kdp account.
@@TheHomeBoss I meant if there is a way to use my balance on kdp to pay ads, not my bank account. Thanks
@@VIPer2837 Unfortunately that's not possible. Amazon charge you for your ads the same month, but pay your royalties 2 months later.
I did buy 3 coloring books with different covers but the insides were more or less the same pictures.😡
That's awful. Unfortunately there are a lot of people using ready made interiors and that is the result of using them instead of creating your own.
Don't forget to leave a negative explicit review, they deserve it!
Can you do a video on creative fabrica in detail like if you want to buy some artwork for books how does it work and also if you are selling interior how does it benefit the seller
I have never sold interiors before, so I can't make a video about that. I have made videos before using graphics from Creative Fabrica, I will make another one soon. Thank you for watching!
What if you love a particular niche, and it doesn't come up on the amazon search results? Do you think making and publishing the book is a good idea?
If it's not something people are looking for then you're not going to get many sales. But it could also be that people are not aware of it. If you can promote this niche either by social media or ads, you might stll get some sales. It's hard to tell unless you try.
Great 17 min vid. What's the answer?
The answer is in the video and it's not an answer you can give in numbers. I know people want to know that if they make x amount of books they will sell y amount of books.... that's not how it works. Which is what I explain in the video.
Why did you stop filming yourself?
I find it easier to present my videos this way, but I will be back on camera again soon.
Hard to believe but may be bad hair day!
Your husband is Luckey, oh! and your children
Thank you !
is it okay to make one interior then use it to 10 different covers?
please make time to answer this
Only if it's a lined notebook or something similar. Not if it is a colouring or activity book or something that has a unique content.
@@TheHomeBoss Wow thank you for your response, i have another question you can answer this as your next video or drop it here. there are actually site that sells book interiors what would happen if two or people bought those interior and at the same time publish it on kdp? do you recommend us to buy book interior from third party sites?
@@dantereysabado7483 I always recommend that if you buy ready-made book interiors, you modify them so that they are different. You can do this on Canva (free) or any other design software that you use. th-cam.com/video/gFTjw3ctHQo/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=TheHomeBoss
@@TheHomeBoss Thank you again for your response and all the videos you had posted
