What was your biggest takeaway from my chat with Janice? Let me know in the comments!
Janice is excellent at thinking outside the box!
Janice had the time to sit and study. She learned as she went. Key words are key!
Informative video. Thank you ladies! I think it was helpful that she talked about thinking in depth into the mind of the customer and their needs.
Adaptability is so important!!
Still struggling for quantity vs quality ,this lady has 1600 books and have seen others doing the same and having respectable returns (a lots of different covers for same interiors !)
Gold! Biggest takeaways? 1) produce a few covers 2) the advertising strategies
Janice seems to have a pretty brilliant strategy. Going into new untapped niches inspired by everyday life, doing Amazon Ads on all of her books on auto-pilot to find new ways to make some sales, keeping her designing process simple with Canva, learning new things all the time, and now trying out Pinterest book promotion...
Love the way she thinks. Thank you for sharing Rachel, I love all of your interviews. Also, yes, we would love a live Q&A video again, as well!
Thanks for your comment, Kristina, sounds like you picked out all the right nuggets from Janice's strategy! Which one do you think you'll implement first?
@@RachelHarrisonSund Hmm, good question. :) Most of the time is so hard to pick just one new thing and that is essential for productivity so... :) I will probably try to find some untapped niches, first. ☺
My biggest takeaway was to create quality books rather than tons and tons of books. Whenever I read about people that have thousands of low content books, they never follow that by saying they are also making thousands of dollars. Flooding Amazon with junk doesn't work. Your videos are always packed with so much helpful information, Rachel. Thank you for sharing this video.
Thanks for watching! Yes, you're right-quality beats quantity every time. If you need to flood the market with thousands of books in order to make a few hundred bucks a month, you're doing it wrong.
Ma, I'm new in to Amazon kdp publishing and I want you to teach me how to create quality boojs
Please keep sharing the success of people from your course, this was never a pattern of content you are uploading instead it powers up others in this field more and more.
I really like the story, thanks for sharing Rachel!
I agree! I would love to see more and more interviews like this!
I appreciate this video. I agree about trying to find something new that fills a need. I really cannot get behind gurus that tell people to look up the best sellers and copy them. For me as an artist and photographer.. The thought of stealing other people's work and ideas is disturbing. Yet we constantly see groups where everyone is copying the number one best selling journal.
I an just starting out and I must say, KDP is proving to be quite addictive. I can not stop thinking up ideas for my next Low content books one after the other and just can't wait to get started over and over again. It is such a hobby almost. Thank you for your time and effort in guiding folks like me. You're an inspiration!
Thank you Rachel! I so loved this interview so helpful! My biggest takeaway is the “First to market” and putting your own spin on another popular design really doesn’t always work. Be a thought leader. When I first started KDP I wanted to create helpful Low- medium content books that went above and beyond. But as a LC book buyer myself I was not always impressed with what others on Amazon were offering. There had to be others like me. Also, being a schooled creative I understood the value of being innovative. The handful of books that consistently sell for me each month (and I’m a hobbiest at this point as I only have under 40 books out there ) are the ones that I created from my cultural awareness+ intuition verified by some lite research I used the free version of Uber suggest for SEO or and have yet to run ads , though I want to learn. My books sell pretty well organically accept one that a TH-cam influencer loved and promoted also organically. So it’s not just about finding the right niche and the right numbers that work , there is way more gray area and that what is hard to replicate the exact success of others. Impressed by another’s success ? Don’t be dominos go and be Pizza Hut!
I love the accent! I could hear it all day! It was inspiring and motivating. Key things I took away are having determination and the willingness to keep learning and keep going even when the sales aren't booming. Sooner or later, they will be!
Thank you for this interview Rachel. What a lovely lady Janice is. I could relate so much to her, she definitely learned from one of the best! Loved it!
This was a very informative video! Thank you so much! My biggest takeaway was be observant of your surroundings to come up with book ideas! But I loved all of the tips! 💕
Thank you, both for a great video. My biggest takeaway was that I need to keep on learning. I am only 6 months into KDP and selling a few books, but there is a lot more I could be doing to create ‘the best book’ in a niche and hopefully get first to market.
Thanks for watching, Ali! You're right; we all need to keep learning if we're to move forward and keep making gains. I hope some of Janice's tips were helpful for you!
Very inspirational - one of your best videos so far Rachel! Thank you for this and thank you to Janice for sharing her story! :)
Janice is inspirational and has some great ideas. I've heard from others that I follow that it's quality over quantity and I think that is great advice. The information Janice provided about how she uses ads on KDP was also very interesting. Thanks for a great video interview.
Thanks for the original strategies. You gave original methods of thinking instead of useless niches to chase. And really great advice on ads.❤️
I hear you ! Got to love the strategies :). I discussed KDP here too.
This video I chanced upon and was an introduction for me. I love the idea of a video showing your reviews of other people's books. This would be a great tutorial for me on what its all about! Janice is absolutely brilliant. She could do anything.
Thank you, Rachel and Janice. I could relate to when Janice was talking about following you step-by-step and continually pausing the video because I've done the same thing with some instructional videos. I bookmarked this interview as there are a lot of nuggets I will want to replay with closed captions on because based on the comments I missed a few things. This was such a great interview, and I especially enjoyed hearing about lottery ads (although I can do nothing with this until I publish some books, but would love if there were some type of tutorial on this. I'm a visual learner so seeing it explained is always more helpful to me), and how Janice talked about finding solutions to people's problems as another way to come up with unique low content books. The whole interview is gold - thanks again!
This interview alone is a gem.
I love what she said about courses. She is right about taking action and going through stages of what you learned.
Absolutely loved this interview. Loved the note on looking around you / outside your industry for product inspiration.
Also love the note on targeting related products.
Hi Rachael, Very very nice content. Planning to start on my books just working on my research now. On another note I must say that you are very very beautiful. Love from Kenya.
A great video. I had to listen to it again so I could jot down a few things . Lots of great nuggets here. I'm really impressed by the great insights that Janice has and that I can learn from.
Well done Janice 👏🏼 great interview Rachel! Thank you for sharing ladies 💜
Thank you both for an interesting and refreshingly honest assessment of what is needed for KDP success today. Quality over quantity; an ongoing learning process; focus and persistence. Thanks again.
Thanks, Graham! Were there any specific tips you'll trying implementing right away?
@@RachelHarrisonSund All of them I guess. I've just enrolled in LCPA.
Great to hear your journey with KDP. When you started, you said in month 1 you made $2 & in second month you made $1000. Please could you tell me if this increase due to Amazon Ads? Thank you.
This has been so motivating! And I carry so many insights! I am just starting your course and I couldn't agree more with many things here said:
1. Rachel, you're the tutor I would love to have in so many areas of my life. The way you explain could not be easier and I thank you for not skipping a single detail in your course. The "over the shoulders series" is so damn helpful and is what makes you stand out form the rest. I highly appreaciate the passion, the effort and the easy way you put things out there.
2. I don't have a design background. But as Janice said, I think I can also start with Canva.
Btw, you might want to consider creating a full design course because you really have talent on teaching things and people like me really need some help in this area.
3. I also thought just like Janice about starting in a new market but I was scared. I am working on my first book which is rather in the mainstream section, but now I have gotten the motivation to try with something more or less new.
4. You, girls, are a huge inspiration. I have made many changes in my life over the past two years and being 28 I was feeling kind of lost but listening to your stories has given me a lot of empowerment! Also you're more than right about the perseverance and the need to not only sit there and watch videos, but to really take action.
Thank you, thank you, thank you! 💜💜💜
Thanks so much for your kind words, Fernanda, and thanks so much for watching! I'm so thrilled that you found inspiration in Janice's story; she's been inspiring to me as well! I'm also thrilled you're enjoying LCPA and I wish you enormous success on your journey. Keep me posted on your results!
how much I have to pay to take her course? is it a private coaching or series of videos and Pdfs that she (rachel) gave me?
@@bouzianehamida9372 My suggestion is that you attend to her master class (link is in the description of the video) and there you will be able to learn what is it that she has to offer. There you will also get a link to the course. At least this is what I did and I don't regret at all having bought her course. I highly recommend it! :D
I didn’t know you can target products in Amazon ads. I thought you can only target other books. Great tip!
Thank you. That was an insightful and reassuring discussion. Much appreciated.
Glad it was helpful! What was your biggest takeaway?
It was interesting when she talked about her ad methods. I first started with KDP in 2017 and I have talked about it in videos.
Thank you Rachel and Janice! I've made some notes and I'll try and apply. I find the success stories really helpful. Looking forward to hearing more similar stories!
Love this success vid. Just joined the academy course Ekkk! Super excited x
Great advice. All of it. I have one activity/coloring book on Amazon that does fairly well and am expanding on that theme. I have the most difficulty with the covers and getting them accepted by KDP
My biggest take away is to do Amazon Ads and not to be afraid to do that. And to look around and see what people like and need.
How many times a year do you have your course?
Ads can definitely amplify any results you're currently getting, as long as you take the time to learn them properly. My course is always open! You can find out more by attending the free pre-recorded masterclass that I've linked to in the description. 😀
Janice you are wonderful! 😃
You Ladies made my day😊
Takeaway: Be unique, innovative and keep learning. To create low and medium content books, we need to have your head stuffed with high content. I agree with Janice on so many points and yet, I have also heard testimonies from successful KDP people who had a totally different strategy on some very important points. There is no miracle recipe for success but with good ingredients we are likely to make a tasty KDP soup many will like.
Sure the main takeaway is the to focus on quality rather than quantity. Sure this approach will not be considered in the the beginning of KDP journey (even Janice confirm that), then It will be as the main strategy to adopt for differentiation goal from the mass competition
Another great video!
I love your work, approach generous youtube channel & I learned plenty miss Rachel!!! Greetings from a fan from south of Sweden :D
What an amazing interview. Thank you.
Best interview so far!
This was great! Lots to think about. Thank you for this.
Glad it was helpful, JayJay! Will you try implementing any of the tips Janice mentioned?
@@RachelHarrisonSund Absolutely. I love the TikTok idea and I can see so clearly how I could implement some marketing that way. Also now I am intrigued even more to take your course. I can see that I’ve been falling down on some of the keyword research (even with using Publisher Rocket) and missing opportunities to do alternative versions of the books.
@@JayJayJackson I'd love to know how you get on with TikTok as I need some ideas about how best to use this platform (and if I am just too old!!)
@@nonscreenactivitiesforkids I don’t know about how to best use TikTok, yet. But I’ll figure it out. And there’s no such thing as too old. If you’re alive, you’re good to go. 😄
Excellent interview! Thank you😊
Thank you both so much! Lots of value! I have a question - when you do the lottery ads, how many books you put in it, what daily budget and what starting bid? Thank you 💜
Hi, I put them ALL In. Every single one. Set the bids low at 0.05 with a % uplift for top of the search. I set to say $5 a day to begin with but so long as they are profitable and if they run out of money, I would increase the daily spend
@@nonscreenactivitiesforkids thank you! All in one ad group???? Even 100 or 200? Also - Not sure I understand what’s a Percentage uplift for search?
@@Tammar_Tammy yes ALL in one auto ad group. Let amazon figure out the winners and losers. In an auto ad you can have a % increase in bid for top of search placement
There's a TH-cam video by Cameron Scott on lottery ads. He does them for merch t shirts but it works with kdp books
@@TheThepapworths thank you so so much for all your advice! 💜
So excited! I purchased your course! Watching it now. Quick question 🙋🏻♀️ Can I go back to this class after I watch? Some things I may need to refer back to, as I am a slow learner but I would love to go back and watch? Don’t know if that is possible once I watched it already?
I still rewatch some of the videos now so I am sure this is possible
Good content! ❤️
Wow that was so inspiring and motivational
She needs to teach an advertising course
Racheal do you have any videos about self publishing with Chromebook I love chrome book I actually earned an entire Bachelor's degree on chrome lol😂
Great video. Is there a benefit to choosing an author name rather than using your real name?
Create low hanging fruit and watch with ads how your book(s) perform.
Excellent! ❤❤❤
Thanks for watching, Karen! Did you find any useful tips you can take with your into your next book creation?
How do you feel about the notion that advertising could expose your niche? I saw a video where this was mentioned, but can't remember which youtuber it was. She stated that once she started advertising this particular book, her sales dropped due to others copying.
You will already have sales and reviews by this point so any copycats are on the back foot by the time the niche is discovered. However, sales will drop over time as more people discover the niche. I think the niches get discovered whether you advertise or not because some companies have software that they offer to look for best sellers and new niches.
Brilliant.
hi rachel i find video very helpful thanks doing video but i got question about kdp my question is that my journal are not showing up on amazon on journal list could you help please me
amazing!
how do you create different pen names with their own pages? do you need more than one kdp account? and do dou then make up information for a non existing writer?
SEO NEEDED FOR MY BOOKS PLZ GUIDE FOR ONE BOOK
How much Highest money 🤑 one can make through kdp a month? It motivates me 😌
There's no real limit. Those that are skilled at it and put in the time and effort can see multiple 6-figure results. But everyone starts small and builds slowly over time. There are no instant results and it takes practice, patience, and perseverance.
How come kdp authors don't disclose what books they have and pen names ?
Very interesting vídeo 😊 Im curious, how many books she published to get the 1000 pounds on the third month?
What did she mean about trademark?
Hey Rachel, I'm keen to do your free Masterclass using the link above. Just wondering about the timezones? I'm in Australia - when the menu pops up with the different time choices - does that automatically adjust to my local time or is that US or Canada time? Thanks
I'd love to have you in the masterclass! The pop-up shows the time in your local timezone. :)
@@RachelHarrisonSund Thanks for that! Look forward to attending the masterclass from Brisbane, Australia. :)
Sorry, how much per month?
I must have missed that part.
Good question. You didn't miss it. She didn't mention or share how much she earns per month. We are not told whether she earns in the low or high six figures. She just shares that she makes "much more" than 24K pounds Sterling per year.
The month on month sales vary considerably as I have one book that goes bonkers in Q4.
I have a question : you have to pick a niche to do your books but what if you want to do different niches do you have to open mutiple kindle accounts ?
Big NO. Only one KDP account, otherwise your account will be terminated. However, many pen names allowed.
I would like to re4ad Janice's blog. What is the address?
How do you do ads with kdp?
Really motivating, such a great interview. It did make me think of a question, when it comes to authors I know you mention not using keywords but can you create a publishing brand and put that in as the name or should you use a 'persons name' (ie one you've made up)? Which is preferable?
Amazon prefer a name that sounds like a person
@@nonscreenactivitiesforkids Many thanks for replying much appreciated. All the best.
Does your class teach only low (no) content books or all activity books, planners, journals etc?
Hi Angela! The process I teach inside Low-Content Profits Academy is relevant to all no / low content books, including activity books, planners, journals, coloring books, etc.
Does a pen name have to sound like a person’s name or can it be a brand name? I see a lot of pen names like “pretty simple planners” but I heard that Amazon doesn’t like that?
It can be a brand name
I think pen names sounding like a person's name are the safest. A brand name can be OK, but the day the words you have chosen become keywords, then you might be in hot water. The rules on Amazon keep changing. The names you see stuffed with keywords are probably from businesses which started when stuffing keywords into your name was allowed, but dangerously frowned upon these days.
One question... My Book arent getting Look Inside Function.... I need to do something ?
No it just happens automatically but it takes a little time after the book goes live
hello Rachel,
If Amazon blocked 5 different books due to trademarks will it affect their KDP account?
Thanks
It might. KDP takes trademark infringement very seriously, so it can definitely put a person's account in jeopardy.
@@RachelHarrisonSund Thank you for your reply
On the situation, Amazon has cleared the issue but I'm still a little bit scared
Remember to check trademarks for the UK and Canada as well as the US if you are also publishing in these countries
how do we know how many people clicked on our books?
There's no way to know that, unfortunately.
@@RachelHarrisonSund thank you, thought I had missed sth :D
You both referred to a hero book. What do you mean by this?
Anyone?
A hero book is the book that is generating the most sales.
I do not understand Luxury Ad. Can't seem to find that strategy anywhere. Any insight, please?
Lottery ad is a made up term not an actual amazon term. Explanation above
What is a hero book?
One that sells head and shoulders above all the other books
Thanks, you just made life easy.
