Introduction
Without a list of ideas or niches for your KDP, no content and low content books. You're going to have difficulty building or even starting your publishing business in the first place.
So I'm going to give you seven ways for coming up with an abundance of book ideas so you'll never be short on what to publish next. And they are not all websites either.
The most common question I get. Can you give me a niche to publish on Amazon? Well, I'm going to go one better than that. And instead of giving you the fish, I'm going to provide you with the fishing rod, bait, and hooks.
So you can find these niches yourself. And if you don't know, a niche refers to a particular segment of the market, like coloring books, handwriting books for kids, accounting books, and so on.
after that, there are two points to note :
- Generating ideas isthe essential thing, not whether this idea makes profits or competes.
- Develop your organization and productivity system, you need somewhere to capture these ideas. We recommend :
- small pocketbook which you always carry around with you.
- Microsoft To Do
- Apple Notes
Okay. So let's get into these. And these are in no particular order.
So let's get into these. And these are in no particular order.
Redbubble
Redbubble is one of the incredible sources of ideas for no and low-content books. The good thing is that They give us ideas for niches and the types of cover designs that are selling well.
Follow these steps :
- Go to stationery & office click on hardcover journals.
- GO to the right-hand side menu.
- Click on best selling.
These steps will give us hardcover books that are currently bestselling on Redbubble.
Now what's powerful about Redbubble is this menu (look the picture down) because we can narrow our search even further and dig into those niche ideas.
So if I saw something like an engineer, I go across to Amazon put in engineering and see what comes up in the Amazon suggestions. And this is great because Amazon is telling us what people are searching for. And here we've got engineering notebook listed, engineering paper notebook. We can also see engineering notebook has 3,600 searches on Google per month.
Etsy
Number two is Etsy. Now, I click on gifts, scroll down, and see if anything jumps out at me that could be a niche for notebooks.
If we go down even further, we can see journals and planners. And again, we can sort these in terms of relevancy or top customer reviews.
If books have lots of reviews, they're making lots of sales. Now, what I do like about Etsy is that you can search for printables.
And these are very much like the low-content books that we create. And again, sort by top customer reviews, see what's selling well, and see if there are any ideas for low content books.
Amazon
The Amazon platform itself is one of the most important sources of ideas for creating books with no content book.
All you have to do is go to Amazon and click on the list of bestsellers, and This page shows us the 100 best-selling books on Amazon. We have to search for books with low content that may fall within our interests and write them in our notebook.
You can also narrow the search until you find the low content that you think is appropriate to work in, in which you may make good profits.
I type in a hobbies list and go to Wikipedia when we have a great list of different hobbies. After we get a keyword, we go across to Amazon and look at the statists of these niches, let see beer tasting, put in amazon search beer tasting, does anything come up? Yes.A beer tasting journal with 70 searches per month. So that's something that I would want to investigate at another time.
