This is all taken care of AFTER you make a sale. The system works via “print on demand”, meaning you hold no stock, you do not have ANY upfront fees to pay for the notebooks or even the printing. If you have read my post on Print On Demand you will know by now how the system works, but if you have not then I will explain it here now. With Amazon KDP you will be accepted, and you can list as many of your designs as you like straight from the outset. You see, with Amazon Merch, the print on demand clothing wing of Amazon’s empire you have to wait to be accepted and then when you are accepted you can only list 10 designs to begin with. This is great news for marketers who want to use this as a passive income stream. Now, the great thing about this unlike Amazon Merch is there are NO RESTRICTIONS to this and there are also NO LISTING LIMITS. Providing you have an Amazon account that is if not just sign up. You can log in to this using your normal Amazon login details. The platform we are going to be using is Amazon KDP. What Platform Will I Be Selling My Books On? If you are making an 8.5″ x 11″ notebook then the pages you create and upload need to be the right size too. You can even download the templates I have made for you to get your first books listed. I should point out here that dimensions are crucial to this working, but don’t worry I have a few examples below to get you started. You can use Google Docs, Word, or again even Canva again.Īs we are making blank pages or very low content then it does not really matter.įor my paperback written book Side Hustles, I used Canva as I wanted pages with images, etc too.Īs long as you can save the main body of the book as a PDF file it is fine. I use Canva for all my design work, its very user-friendly but its up to you.Īs for the actual content, then any word or doc file will be fine. Whether that be Photoshop, Canva, or even Powerpoint to a degree will be fine with this. You can use any design software you are happy with. I never recommend anything I do not use personally. If you buy anything from them I may receive a small commission at no extra cost to you. *I sometimes use affiliate links on the blog. What You Will Need In Order To Design These Notebooks? Your job is to basically come up with a cover design idea, list it, and then hope for some sales. In the examples I have created for you I have broken the sketchbook down to contain some pages with a border and some storyboard pages. Lined pages are fine, but if you are doing a sketchbook then make sure at least every third page has something on it. Amazon will require “some” content on the pages. You CANNOT however upload completely blank pages. Sketchbooks are another great one to sell. Next time you are in a bookshop just check out the shelf with notebooks on and see how many there are. I do, I have many dotted around the house. That’s it, but people LOVE to buy notebooks. These are literally blank notebooks or come with lined or dotted pages. No content books are even easier to create. Not a recipe book for you to follow, but a recipe book for you to jot down your own recipes. I talk about that here on this podcast: How To Start a Side Hustle With Just One Hour Per DayĪnother example could be a recipe book. Low content books are books such as diaries, journals, recipe books, etc where you maybe have a few prompts to write things in.įor example, I use a daily journal where I write my three main objectives for the next day and what I got done today. While you are here if you want 10 blueprints to earn a decent side income stream then grab my ebook here and follow the step by step strategies! Not all your designs will make sales and there is an element of “listing luck” involved in this, but it is a very nice, low-entry way to earn some extra money. This is a set and forgot system, once you have your books uploaded to Amazon you can move on to the next design. I have sold a few of these notebooks so I know this system works, I have also seen many sellers go on to make very nice side income streams this.
