how you can make a low content book just
like these they have absolutely nothing
in them but blank pages and you will be
able to make these journals in less than
10 minutes and literally anyone can do
this from anywhere in the world but more
important than creating these books is
actually selling them so I want to give
you some tips and tricks that will
actually help to put your books before
the right people so that they will buy
them and you will make some money this
is a hot selling item and this is
something that I'm about to show you how
you can sell on Amazon so don't go
anywhere you won't want to miss this one
what's up guys this is Monique and
welcome back to the channel I am back
with the news that you can use but first
if you are new here hello bonjour Hola
Aloha konichiwa wagwan Shalom thanks for
stopping by but don't just be a stranger
hit that subscribe button and join the
family so this video
me a little longer than I normally do
because I don't want this to just be
another video that tells you something
you can do without giving you the right
tips and tricks to help you to really
get the money so that's what we're about
to do today but let me tell you really
quickly what low content books are in
case you are new here and did not see my
last video which I'll also link up here
but low content books are basically
books that has low content in it meaning
like journals notebooks composition
notebooks those things where you have a
book full of pages of lines and that's
it and a lot of people are making a lot
of money selling these types of books on
Amazon and I did this in a previous
video and showed you how to make a
journal that is full of the same page of
line just in case you want to be a
little more creative and put more than
one type of page in your book I'm going
to show you how you can do that today
but first what I need you to do for me
before we get started just go ahead hit
that like button because it makes the
algorithm happy but it'll really help me
to get this info out to more people so
let's get into creating these books I
want to start with that and then I'm
gonna go on to the tips and tricks that
you need to make sure you're selling
these books and how we create
the book boat right here we're going to
go to the top and log in and then it's
going to bring you to the home page here
and on this page they're going to have a
ton of videos for you to come back and
watch that really breaks down and let
you know how to use Book boat so when we
go over here you'll see this research
button you click it and then we just go
to create and then from create we're
going to hit on Book boat designer and
then they'll ask you to log in your
login is going to be the exact same
login that you use to get into bookboat
we're going to actually be going into
the new studio so we can just close that
out right there and come to the top and
hit try Book boat and studio and once we
come here it is going to make us select
what type of project we want and they
have many different options as far as
the type you want you can do paperback
book or you can do a hardcover booking
so I'm clicking on paperback book and
then we're going to go with a six by
nine and just to let you know what a six
by nine looks like that will be about
this size this is really a six by eight
eight it's kind of close to this size
and the interior part of the book we're
going to just keep it black and white
but as far as page count goes we're
going to make it 100 Pages why it's just
a number that popped in my head you can
do 120 you can do 80 whatever you prefer
now I'm Gonna Let it bleed and when it
bleeds that means it can go over to the
end of the page and then they're going
to take you to where you're going to
start doing all of your magic and
they're going to explain to you what
each side is the right side is basically
your front cover and the left side is
your back but we want to move there get
that out of the way we click up here we
just hit High KDP cover template and hit
okay but when it comes to what type of
Journal you want to make one of the
things that I came across was a prayer
Journal it was very popular or you can
do journals according to whatever season
you're in like right now it is August
school's about to restart you just kind
of want to go with the time because
there are certain times people will be
searching for one type of Journal more
than another but as far as a prayer
Journal we all need a little prayer in
our life all right so this is a type of
Journal that will do pretty well year
round and other journals that do well is
dream journals and also manifestation
journals gratitude journals I hope you
all are taking notes because these are
the type of things that really sell well
on Amazon so we're gonna just go right
over here because we need a photo for
our cover page you can actually upload
your own photos or you can go to pixabay
and pixabay you can use theirs there
won't be any kind of copyright problems
with it and when I type in colorful I
get all of these different options here
they have some beautiful options here
but oh look at that oh my goodness if
they don't remind me of prayer I don't
know what does it just makes me feel
like I'm about to take a closer walk
with God on this one what you want to do
once you get your photo you just want to
take the edge and bring it out and
expand it because you want to make sure
it is filled all the way in you don't
want any white to show like this is so
pretty yo I'm gonna actually order my
own book when I'm done with this and
guys in case you don't know you know a
lot of people ask me to help them edit I
will be doing an editing course I'll put
the link down in the description for you
to sign up for the wait list so make
sure you sign up for that you do not
want to miss out but back to making this
money and so the next thing we're going
to need is a title so you go up here to
this text and then you're gonna click on
that and then I'm going to go to heading
why because it's a heading and then
we're going to type into it and drag it
to the front of the cover remember the
right side is the front and if you don't
like the front you can always change it
I'm going to go ahead on and change mine
to this right here and then I'm going to
add another heading and I'm going to do
in the together because I want that one
to be a little different just drag it
over and we're going to make that one
kind of cursive and we need to add the
last word which is Lord and I went on
ahead and changed the final a little bit
more you just play around and find what
you like and then we definitely want to
change the color so in order to change
the color you just go up here to this
Square that's black and then you just
pick some kind of colors that you want
you can play around drag it and see what
you like I like this purple just because
it kind of fits with the theme and then
we're gonna change everything to that
whatever color you last use is going to
be at the top now you can actually do
more to this if you want to there's a
tab that you can select to pick some
shapes and add it to that if you want to
I don't feel like this really needs too
much else but one thing I do want to add
to it is just a cross so I actually
downloaded across already from off the
internet you want to be careful with
that that's why if I were you I would
just stick to pixabay I'm going to just
add it to the front of the cover and
Center it right there and y'all that's
it my cover is absolutely done let me
know down in the comments what you think
I don't feel like I need to add anything
else to it so that's the cover y'all now
we're going to go ahead on and move on
to the interior and so in order to start
the interior we're going to go down here
and click on page one and then over here
by these tabs we're going to go to this
little maze looking thing here click on
it and these are all the templates that
they have already created that you can
add to the inside of your book like I
said this is going to be simple and easy
no writing in both and they've done most
of the work for you and they have a
prayer journal and they also have a
prayer list I'm thinking of a prayer
Journal I want to put my prayer list at
the front of the book so that I can
always every time I open it have my
prayer list to look at and then what's
really cool about this list you list
your prayer on the left side and on the
right you list if it was answered or not
so when you're ready to add this list
they're going to ask you what pages you
want to add it to you can go by and
click one by one what you want to add it
to you can select all eye Pages if
you're going to do a book like one type
of page on this left side one on the
right side or you can just select all
like if you're doing a journal that's
going to help oh just note pages in it
what I wanted to do was I wanted to
select the first five pages so I have to
go and do that myself and then I hit
next and then they asked me all of this
stuff and I'm not even worried about
that I just hit submit you can change
the margins all of that stuff but we're
going to just leave it as is now that's
the first five pages of our book now
we're going to go to page six and what
I'm going to go and do now is add that
prayer journal to the rest of the pages
you can technically go through and click
all the rest of the pages but ain't
nobody got time for that so what we're
going to do is we're going to select all
and then we're going to D select the
first six pages to save us a little time
then we hit next and we hit submit and
y'all that's it we have a completed book
really plain and simple and all you have
to do from this point is go to the top
under project and then you just hit
download this project RGB and from there
it's going to break it down into two
different PDF files you'll have your
cover page and then you'll have your
interior pages so to get your books on
Amazon that's where we're going to be
selling these wonderful books you have
to go to Amazon KDP and when you get
here you will have to create an account
and it is absolutely free to create an
Amazon KDP account yes you will have to
enter your tax information this is
another question that I got a lot they
always say Monique
payment part yo I'm telling you today
okay so there are several different ways
that you can get paid you can get paid
through direct deposit which they
recommend you can get paid through wire
transfers or through checks and so when
you are doing the direct deposit then
you just put in your bank account
information and that's how you're going
to get paid when do you get paid once a
month the payment is going to start 60
days after the end of whatever month
you've made some sales that's what
Amazon said not Monique we're going to
click on the create Tab and it's going
to bring us to this what would you like
to create but we're going to do
paperback so as far as those tips and
tricks I was telling you about this is
going to be really important the
research portion of you selling these
books and bookboat has some research
tabs that's going to bring you the best
information they're going to tell you
the top books they're selling they're
going to show you things like how many
people are actually searching on Amazon
versus Google for particular topics
they're going to show you how to get
your keywords all of those things are
super important so I really wanted to
take some time to explain this part to
you because this is really why a lot of
people don't get sales because they're
not using the right title they're not
using the right keyword so in order to
make sure you're getting the right stuff
so that your books can be found the
first thing you're going to do is go
back to bookboat and then you're going
to go under the research Tab and under
research there's a cloud you know
everything's in the cloud so we're going
to click on the cloud and when we get
there what book boat does is they're
going to search for the top 10 best
sellers in whatever category you pick
we're working with journals but if you
have a category like we already have
we're going to go ahead on and put
prayer journal in the keyword and we'll
hit search and the first one that came
up was prayer journal for women so
that's kind of where I got this title
from and then you could just pretty much
scroll through here and see what other
type of titles they have in regards to
this I'm just going to stick with the
one that was at the top because it has
495 monthly sales and I'm also looking
for what the rest of their title says
because there's a subtitle tab that we
can use and on here it says prayer
notebook for women of God under subtitle
I'm going to go ahead on and add prayer
notebook for women of God why because it
works and if it ain't broke we don't fix
it so as far as series go we don't worry
about that I'm not worried about
addition number but as far as author
this is where you are an author so you
get to put your name in here or we are
not adding book bolts or contributors
but as far as description go one thing
that you can do you can go back to the
that book that we looked at and look at
their description and see if they have
anything in there so I just added the
size and say this generous writing space
prayer list prayer notes and key verses
the next biggest important thing that
you need to do is when we come to this
section here the keywords keywords are
what are going to help to get you found
when people are searching for these type
of journals because someone may not come
here and type prayer journal for women
so you want to put other keywords in
here that will help to bring them to
your book to let them know this is what
you need this is what you have been
looking for by my book so bookboat also
has another tool that's going to help
you to do that and so we go back to
where we were under the research tab a
button that says keywords we click on
that and then we're going to click on
search and from there we're just going
to type in prayer Journal because that's
what we did and we're going to come up
with all of these keywords that they say
are associated with prayer journal and
they're going to right here this shows
you the Amazon search volume this shows
you the Google search volume you want to
look at the ones that say hi why because
this is what people are looking for so
I'm going to use the prayer Journal I'm
going to use the Journal of prayer so
I'm just going through and I'm finding
the best seven keywords because they
only give you seven keywords to add and
y'all another trick that I heard when it
comes to actually trying to rank on
Amazon and be found is to use categories
that are not as popular then you will
start to rank higher in those categories
that people don't use often which means
when people start to search for books
that you are selling then of course you
will come up first because you're
ranking higher in other categories so
hopefully that does help you guys to
sell these books more and then also I
selected that this is low content books
and then they asked if this contains
stuff that's basically an appropriate we
say no for children we'll come to this
page here and on this page is going to
say publish without an ISBN yeah I just
selected it I skip over publication date
and once you get here this is where
you're going to start to upload
everything your manuscript is basically
the interior that you worked on and once
you do that they will allow you to
preview the book to make sure everything
looks the way that you expected it to
look so once you do that then it's going
to show how much it costs to print this
book you won't have to pay up front but
what will happen is once someone orders
the book Amazon will take 215 for
printing it so right here the rate you
get 60 and Amazon will get 40 and once
you set your price then it's going to
break down everything I'm just going
7.99 and it shows that after the
printing costs after Amazon gets their
fee then I will make 2.64 off of this
you can raise it if you don't like that
price but like I say you want to be
smart about what you price these books
when you go back and look at those books
that are being sold that are similar to
yours you want to see what they are
pricing it because you want to try to
stay within that ballpark because this
was working and then you may not go for
a few cents because sometimes something
that's 677 might sell more than
something that's 697 so you just have to
be really strategic about how you do
this but I wanted to tell you something
else that's really really important and
that is having reviews on the books that
you upload because I don't know if
you're anything like me but when I shop
on Amazon I always click on the reviews
before I make a purchase so one of the
things you may have to do is sell your
books to family and friends and just ask
them to go ahead on and review it for
you or you can buy the books give it to
family and friends and just ask them to
review the book for you so that people
can have some reviews to look at because
that's what's going to help a lot of
people decide to buy your book it can
work you can make a lot of money here
but you just have to put in the work so
that you can get your stuff to that
level and then once you set the price
you come down here you hit publish your
paperback book and then voila it is
submitted to Amazon it takes 72 hours
for them to approve it so that's the
entire process yo but something else I
want you to keep in mind they're going
to tell you that you can make a
hardcover book to this that's another
option for you to do they're going to
tell you that you can make an e-book and
then you also want to make a lot of
different types of books you may just
make regular journals you may make
prayer journals you can go back and make
those meditation journals manifestation
journals you can change up the interior
to a lot of things and guys just to let
you know book itself is not free they
actually have two different plans they
have the Newbie that's 9.99 and then
they have the pro that's 19.99 this is
the one I use the pro because you get
more stuff you can actually create
coloring books you can create like
Sudoku I hope I say that right books but
there's just a lot more that you can do
with it however there's still a lot that
you can do with the Newbie and you get a
three day free trial with both of these
and on top of that I have a discount
code that I'm going to be dropping below
it's just Journey with the hintings and
you can use that to get an extra 20 off
y'all so I hope that this helped you
today guys I am going to be doing more
videos like these so make sure you
subscribe to the channel also like this
video again because it helps me out but
other than that thank you so much for
