In this blog, I will introduce you to a concrete business model that you can start and scale from your laptop or cell phone without a large team, office or in-house production.
Your path to success: low-content books on Amazon
Let’s start with two platforms:
- Amazon: As a marketplace with a huge reach, Amazon is perfect for building your business without having high marketing costs.
You will need to build your own target group in the long term to establish a strong brand, but Amazon is a great place to start. - Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP): The best thing about KDP?
Amazon takes care of printing your products!
So you don’t need your own printing presses or production facilities.
Now you might be asking yourself: What should I sell on Amazon?
The answer: low-content journals!
This type of journal is very popular on Amazon, as they hardly need any content.
All you have to do is design an attractive cover.
How it works: Your journal step by step
1. cover design:
This is where Book Bolt comes into play.
This tool was specially developed for the creation of low-content books and also takes into account the factors that are important for a good ranking on Amazon.
- Size: Choose a common size, e.g. 6×9 inches.
- Design: Create an attractive cover with meaningful text that appeals to your target group.
- Titles & keywords: Use Book Bolt’s “Cloud Search” to find successful titles and relevant keywords.
2. Amazon KDP:
- Registration: Set up a KDP account free of charge.
- Upload: Upload your finished journal.
- Pricing: Analyze similar products on Amazon and set your price slightly lower to be competitive.
3. long-term success:
- Branding: Build your brand in the long term, e.g. with a social media presence.
This allows you to generate traffic independently of the Amazon algorithm.
Conclusion: You have options!
Take advantage of the many resources available and start your own online business – without any outside capital.
