Hey everyone, in this video,
I'm going to give you my top 10, no content book niches
that are easy to create, are making decent sales, one in particular selling over 8,000
books a month and don't have a huge amount of competition. So if you're
a seasoned publisher on Amazon KDP, or just are starting out and
looking to break into this online, money-making passive
income, creating business, then follow along as I give
you my top 10 selections. Now you may notice a change
in the background and that's
because I've just moved to Australia and I'm currently
in a 14 day quarantine hotel. So bear with me
for the moment. Now, if you've not been here before
then welcome to the channel. My name is Paul Marles and I do videos
on how to make it, keep it and grow it. And that's your money I'm talking about.
So if you do like videos like that, then please do give it a thumbs up, hit the subscribe button and smash
that notification bell to receive notification of when I produce more
videos like this. So first of all, what do I mean by no content books? Well, they are books that don't have
any words or writing in them. The most common ones, that
most people are familiar with, are those plain blank line journals
and notebooks that you can buy almost everywhere. But we are not going to be
looking at lines notebooks in this video. Instead, we are going to be looking at some types
of books you may not have thought about that are selling pretty well on Amazon. If you're wondering how to even
get started in this business, I'll leave a link to my book
publishing tutorials here on YouTube, down below in the description. The books I'm going to show you are
selling around at least a hundred a month, and some,a lot more, with one selling around 8,000 a month
and bringing in the publisher around $2,000 a month, which I think
you'll agree is pretty good. I calculate the book sales using
the tool at tckpublishing.com, which I find actually under reports
sales and the higher end of the figure I give you is probably more accurate. Now one of the issues with these types
of books is that they are a lot easier to create the many of
those low content books. And you can create many covers for the
same type of book without issues of duplicate content. So, as a result, some publishers will produce lots of
these types of books and flood the market with rubbish and also
sell them very cheap, which I don't recommend. I haven't come across a single successful
publisher using this particular technique. I'm in a few
of these niches myself. And I usually sell my books at
$6.99 and they sell very well I've mentioned in previous
videos, but if it's a low price, customers don't necessarily
think they are getting a bargain. They just think it is
cheap and poor quality, even though they're all being
printed by the same company, Amazon. Most customers don't actually know that. So I'd prefer to sell a slightly lower
number with a bigger profit margin. But at the end of the day, the choice
is yours. So how do I find these books? Well, I went through Book Bolt, which has my favorite niche
searching tool called The Cloud, which is great for looking up
those bestselling books and niches. It doesn't list them all, but I use it
to come up with ideas for my next books. I also looked at the interiors on Tangent
Templates and searched them on Amazon. And I also used my own list of niches
that I've built up over the last three years as I've come across them. I keep them as a list on Microsoft To
Do which I recommend you do the same as you will normally come across many
different types of interesting books that have both high paying and
in under saturated markets. And you'll find these as you
do your own research on Amazon. Then I came up with my
list of top 10 books, which I put into a spreadsheet, that are selling well and
have low competition keywords. You may find that the main search term, which is the root keyword has a lot of
search results and therefore competitors on Amazon. But if you follow the principles
outlined in my keyword research video, which I'll leave a link to below, then you'll find these keywords
that are easier to rank for, but are still getting sales. So I'm going to list them
in order of number of sales, made by books listed via the KDP
platform, with the lowest first. And then I'll tell you where you can
get these interiors and some for free. If you want to skip straight to
that, or to a particular niche, then you can see them if you
hover over the timeline below. All the tools and videos
mentioned in this video, I'll also link to in the description
below. So make sure to check those out. Okay. So for the first niche and that's
the calligraphy practice paper books. Now these are books that have sheets
of paper that people can practice their calligraphym in. The best-selling book
I found has a best sellers rank of 123,897, which equates to selling around
39 to 100 a month, which is okay, considering how quick you can
actually create one of these books. As with all books I'm going to show you, the interiors are very
basic and easy to find. Calligraphy practice paper has
2000 Amazon search results, which is a little on the
high side, but with research, you'll find those less
competitive keywords. And if you look at the cover designs,
they vary, but you know, are pretty basic. Next is a dot grid notebook. Many know these as bullet point journals, but that is actually a trademarked
term. So use dot grid journal instead. These are pages of lots of small dots
and they're used for many different purposes. I actually use
these types of books myself. Now the main search term has a more
respectable 1000 search results. And so is easier to rank for on Amazon. And so your book has a better chance
of being found by customers. Again, cover designs are basic, but you are in competition with these
non KDP publishers like these here. The next up is the guitar tab notebook
used by musicians to write down lyrics and guitar tablature, used for
playing chords on the guitar. Now search results are
of 1000, which is good. And there are a variety
of different cover types. The KDP book that is selling the
best has a best sellers rank of 50,771, which equates to around
90 to 180 sales per month. At number four is the isometric graph
paper used by engineers, mathematicians, and designers. This has a very low number
of Amazon search results of
436 and the bestseller on the first page as a best
sellers rank of 25,762 and selling about 160 to 330 months. So that's a good one to look into. Many of the books have the isometric
graph pattern on the front cover, which seems to be a common theme. So maybe do something different in
order to stand out from the competition. Next is the sketch book. On Book Bolt this always pops up as a
number one bestseller on their list. If I do a basic search for sketch book, the best-selling one on the first
page has a best sellers rank of 24,342 equating to selling
about 100 to 150 a month. These probably have the
most basic interior of all. The pages are virtually blank, but not completely blank as KDP won't
accept that. For the basic search term the search results are 3000,
so a bit more competitive, but I've done a video
specific to this niche, which are linked to below and have low
competition keywords listed in my Gumroad shop, again, link below. Now number
six is the graph paper notebook, which is one you're
probably more familiar with. Used by people to make normal notes and
people like engineers and mathematicians also. 2000 search results for
graph paper composition notebook. But this is a niche I'm in and there are
many more lower competition keywords, if you do your research. The best-selling KDP book on
this page has a rank of 13,626 and selling 290 to 570 a month. So we're really getting
into the decent money mark. Now next up is the Kanji
practice paper notebook used by customers to write their Japanese
writing in and practice their Japanese writing. The best-selling KDP book as
a best sellers rank of 15,934 and selling between 300 to 600 per month. And the search results
are only 586. So again, a good one to look at. Many
of the covers, understandably, have a Japanese theme to them. Next to eight is the primary
storage journal aimed at kids. Here they write story and
also draw pictures in the blank box. So pretty basic interior. You could easily create this
yourself if you wanted to. Most of the covers are children
themed with things like unicorns and dinosaurs and the search
results come at 1000. The best seller on this
page has a rank of 8,105, selling 450 to 900 a month, which is very nice. Now at number
nine, the blank comic book. Again, I've done a video on
this niche, link below, and also have keywords listed
for this in my Gumroad shop. This is another niche I'm in and
is pretty competitive. However, that are lower competitive
keywords available that
still get good search numbers per month. Most of these
books are published on KDP. All have a similar theme to the cover
and the best seller ranks at 1,554 selling 1,600 to 3,200 per month. So now we're getting into the big
income league here if you like. Now lastly is the cursive
handwriting workbook niche. Again, I've done a video on this
and the potential income is
huge with the best-selling KDP published book, having a rank of 388 and selling 4,200 to 8,300 a months. That's an upward figure of about $2,000
a month at this particular price. And that's pure profit, which I think
you'll agree is pretty fantastic. Now this book is only selling
at $3.99, which is pretty low. So you'll probably find there are
actually others on that page selling less, but making way more as their books are
priced higher. And for the main keyword, there are still only 1000 search results
with many keywords with search results, less than this, which are easier to
rank for. If you want to look at this, then again, links below
in the description. Now I know some of the sales figures will
trigger some people who will complain that it's it's impossible. Markets
are saturated, blah, blah, blah. That's fine. If so, take a look at other methods of
making money online and publishing. I always take the view that it's a person, a human being like me and you that has
ranked their book highly in that niche. So it's not impossible. Just consider. Do you think that book will
be ranked number one in three, five or maybe 10 years?
The answer is probably no. Someone will come along who creates
a better book, a better cover, spends more money on advertising
and why not make it you. But that's also the other thing, some
people think that advertising is bad. Like this business is not real, it's a scam because you have to advertise
your book, but it's called marketing. And it's how the biggest brands in the
world build the biggest brands in the world. It's as though some people think that
a business is a scam if it requires any investment of time, effort, and money. This business is by no means
a get rich quick scheme. For what it's worth I didn't place an
ad on a single book until about two years after publishing my first book and
still managed to build an income of a few thousand dollars a month. So where can you get these
interiors from? Well, you could create them yourself, obtain
some of them for free off Book Bollt, or pay for them off Creative
Fabrica or Tangent Templates. Just do a search for the interior on
C.reative Fabrica and I'll guarantee that you'll find it talking of which they
are running a special spring promo deal of an all access subscription
of just $1 for the first month, but it hasn't got that
long to run. And in fact, by the time you watch this
video, it may have run out. So go and check that out in
case it's still running. Now, when I started many of these resources
weren't available and I created the interiors myself using Adobe
illustrator. So you can also do that, especially if you're on a tight budget
and use free software like Inkscape. One of the secrets to getting your books
seen by customers and therefore making sales is using the right keywords
in your titles and subtitles. If you want to get started on
how I do my keyword research, then watch this video next, which
explains the whole process I go through. Thank you very much for your
time. It's very much appreciated. And until next time, goodbye.
