I agree to with everything you said especially what and how she is representing everything. She is distorting everything to just get people to follow her strategy and she makes out every single time they do. She suffers nothing at all. And has no obligation to anyone what so ever and not held accountable either. This reminds me so much of multi level marketing scheme AMWAY. I know everybody has heard of them. I have followed her a long time too like years. I did feel at some points she was full of shit but other times I was intrigued because of her income she makes. But now I even question that! I am done with you Gillian if that is your name! I am unsubscribing and jettisoning all I ever bought from you and ready about you!!! You can't do this to people it will not bode well for you. Catch on people ok. Thanks montagnu for putting your opinion on here I really appreciate it.

I completely agree. I publish LC and focus on mainly medium content books with lots of research before I even start writing. BookBolt is helpful in my opinion for making covers, research, and making puzzles. Helium 10 is too expensive for me and BookBolt’s research tools are much more affordable. I’m surprised that Gillian sounds so ignorant about using KDP since isn’t that how she published her organization book?

I feel like these comments are much closer to the truth. So are there resources that you ladies DO recommend, to learn the truth about what it takes to publish low/medium content books? I am still interested, but know that it takes more work than this presented. Where is a good place to start?

@@ruthnelson4513 Check our Paul Marles on KZfaq. He walks through the entire process from research to book creation, covers, listing descriptions, and even advertising on Amazon. He sells on KDP full time and has a wealth of free information.

The most important thing that should be on everyone mind currently should be to invest in different sources of income that doesn't depend on the government. Especially with the current economic crisis around the word. This is still a good time to invest in various stocks gold, silver and digital currencies.

You're right! If you are not conversant with the markets, I'd advise you to get some kind of advice or assistance from a financial/investing coach. I diversified my $450K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment advisor and I've been able to generate a little bit above $1.2m in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, Etf and bonds this red season. For me, its themost ideal way to jump into the market these days

@@BeatrizGomes196 Hi, could you be kind enough to share the info of the investment advisor guiding you?

@@Anneeklund319 Sure, My Financial advisor is Lisa Paula martins. A middle aged lady from Arizona who really knows her stuff.

Wow😊I know her and I have also been trading with her, she's such an amazing woman with good skills, keeps me happy all week knowing I earn 15thousand extra income trading with her.

Same!

Meaning there's not much money to be made in this idea, but there is for teaching this idea?

@@harijotkhalsa9496 Yes, exactly.

Finally the try from someone who tried this

That part

Medium content is the way to go. I switched to medium content from notebooks and I’m seeing profits now.

@@peach_cobbler whats medium content?

@@helloworld441 Medium content are books that are more than plain lined, dot grid, graphing paper, sketch paper or otherwise blank notebooks and journals. It includes guided journals, log books, planners, workbooks, and pretty much any book with minimal text where the user fills out the bulk of the content themselves. It’s a term used by KDP authors, but not officially by Amazon. Think of it as authors say low content to refer to books where the customer is buying it mainly because of the cover image and medium content to refer to books where the customer might click because of the cover and title but buys mainly for the content. Like if you had a meeting notes journal with the same repeating template on each page, then a customer might click on your book because of the cover image and title keywords but they won’t buy if they don’t like what you describe about the book. For example, I have seen reviews saying that the book was supposed to have a template but was just plain lined paper with no template. Low content is very competitive and it can be hard to stand out in search results. Amazon defines low content as any book that has repetitive pages like notebooks and guided journals or where the user fills out the bulk of content. Puzzle books, coloring books, and activity books are not considered low content. For example a number tracing book is not considered low content because it’s more activity book. Low content books are not eligible for a free ISBN through Amazon or expanded distribution (ordering in bulk by bookstores, libraries, etc.). Low content also doesn’t include the look inside feature because there is no ISBN. You can use A Plus content to add images to your listing though.

Thank you for your honesty. Wondering if many you tubers just want to put out content to provide value but not give away the real info b/c they want to charge for the current info.

@@peach_cobbler can you do medium content process this same way as shown in this video? Thank you

I'm going to try this as I am creative anyway and make and sell crafts too.

You should publish the cookie book...

Excellent ideas for different types of books. Thank you very much❤

Hello, have you sold any of your books!! Just curious 🤔.. I want to try it ..!!

How is it going with the shop ? Making a little bit of passive Income ? Considering it myself

@@inferidii it’s not. I made a bunch of books. And one of them got hit for copywrite. No idea why. And my KDP account was cancelled and there was no way to fight it or get an idea of what caused it. Yeeted.

​@@KatharineMiele So is this whole thing a scam.? Everyone says audible or an equivalent is the way to go.

I've heard that, but also follow several other channels who do this and they are doing quite well in sales. Quarter 4 seems to be a great time to get those holiday shoppers.

This is not true. They just released a tab for low-content books only.

@@JennyHansenLane That's not what I'm hearing from my contact at Amazon (I work for them) and my book coaching clients who are having their low content books rejected by KDP for not being unique enough.

@@tltfaas that’s too bad. I’ve uploaded 408 books this year with no problem. I wonder what they are submitting that’s getting rejected.

@@JennyHansenLane Probably because they are nearly identical to dozens of other books. How are your sales? Getting the books past Amazon filters is one step then you have to focus on sales.

This. This all day.

Indeed

Exactly this!

Exactly this. I started doing this on Amazon earlier this year and even though I proofed the items created and put a lot of thought into them, they did not come out well and they certainly didn't sell much. The facts are that while it seems like you possibly could make good money doing this, the reality is that it's oversaturated and very few are actually making anything, let alone $1000+ a month on this venture.

Don’t be so negative. This is a blueprint to start a business for next to nothing. What you do with it is your decision! Besides, if you have nothing nice to say, you can just keep quiet. It’s free to be nice.

That's amazing, thank you for sharing!

What is the name of your book?

I had heard this as well. Also, I’m looking for advice on opening a Kip account. Does Amazon make this difficult?

I think she spelled it out clearly 😎

uhhh, she very clearly told us what you get 60% of the profit after the printing cost is deducted, and she also told us where to look on the amazon site to see it, and she prefaced the entire video by saying that most people make multiple books?

She did say sell cheap to begin with. She showed example making about 29 cents a sale?

I am doing the same @Kallun Sheppard so thank you Gillian for the information. Im going to give this a go as well.

How did it go??

@@makaylamoody4066 hello makayla, how would you like to joining my free amazon kdp classes?

Sounds like a great idea! ❤️

Such a great idea, thank you for sharing!

Congrats! KDP has been so fun for me as well!

There's a reason advertising agencies exist, and you just ran into it. Creating a product can be very easy, as you've already found. Selling that product can be very, very hard. Think about how much Ford or Starbucks or any other large company spends on advertising each year. It's in the billions! They spend that money because nobody will buy a product if they don't even know it exists. I suspect what you need to do is find a very specific niche. Something narrow enough to not have a ton of competition. Instead of doing a "Recipe Journal", to use her example, do a "Vegan Recipe Journal." Or a "Diabetic Recipe Journal." Or, maybe, a "Diabetic Vegan Recipe Journal." You cut the number of people who might buy it, but you also cut down on the competition. Standing out is a lot easier in a small group. The idea is, instead of swimming in an ocean of low content books, try to become a big fish in a much smaller pond.

That’s exactly what I was thinking

hello michele, how would you like to joining my free amazon kdp classes?

Hi Lisa, How is it going for you? Have your tried it? :) Is it worth it? I guess you need to be a self-employed or have a business ITR number or something?! Thanks Vivi

Noted!

How is it going? How much have you been making a month if you don't mind sharing?

I’m curious to know too! Do tell :)

Please let us know how its doing...

Interested in your update

Awesome! It would be great to know how your venture has progressed over time. Thanks for sharing!

Sales?

It is true that the more you create, the more you will make. But I want to point out that you are not spending any money to create these books. Unless you pay for the Book Bolt Subscription which is only $10 a month. So it is easy to get a profit after the first $10/ month.

Any update?

Great questions! Would also very much like to know, especially the first question.

How are you marketing your books?

No, there aren't any from what I was seeing when I was using it.

I was wondering the same thing.
