Transcripts
all right so I just found something that
blew my mind so check out this super
simple book it's making $375 a day this
one's making $700 a day and this one's
making $765 a day that's $22,000 per
month and this is not Revenue guys it's
royalties which is actually the amount
that you take home it's your profits and
that's just for one book now some of you
are probably saying these books have
probably been around for years with
thousands of reviews but take a look at
this yes this one's got 500 reviews but
this one was just just published last
month and it's got 25 reviews and this
one's got 47 reviews and it was just
published 2 months ago that's crazy
right so today I'll show you how to
easily create something like this even
if you're not an artist and I'm also
going to show you how to get massive
sales like these cuz I found a strategy
that these sellers are using that's very
effective yet so simple and I'm going to
share that with you at the end as well
and no it's not running Amazon ads now
at a glance this look like just coloring
books for kids but these are actually
for adults yeah I'm just surprised that
there is a huge market for these books
but okay so how does this work so if
you're not familiar these books are sold
on Amazon under the KDP model which is
essentially print on demand for books so
you create the book listed on Amazon and
when somebody orders the book Amazon
will print the book and ship it to the
customer without you having to be
involved in the process so when you get
a sale Amazon takes their fees and you
paid the remainder of that amount in
something called royalties which is
basically a profit now speaking of
profits let me show you how much you can
make by selling books like this so you
can go to to Amazon's royalty calculator
here and I'm just going to enter the
details here it's paperback and size is
8.5 by 8.5 in I'm going to do 40 pages
and the price is $9.99 now you can see
from this book that you get about
$3.15 in royalties which I think is
pretty good considering that they take
care of all the printing the shipping
the warehousing and they've got all this
traffic now why do I think that this is
a great business model so number one
Amazon KDP is not Amazon FBA there are
no subscriptions no upfront costs you're
not buying any inventory and you're not
competing with Chinese Sellers and
because you're not buying any inventory
there's literally no risk for you to
start and you can't do that with Amazon
FBA selling physical products cuz you
have to come up with at least $5 $10,000
to start and if the products don't sell
you're stuck with the physical inventory
and number two this products are
insanely simple to create we're not
writing novels I mean just look at this
I would never think that people would
buy something so simple as this plus if
you think about it with this coloring
books you can create so many different
variations and you can even do like a
miniature house like this which I think
looks pretty interesting or maybe
something like this where there's a bit
of shading or the depth in colors so a
lot of variations you can produce just
under this one Niche now number three
you can also see that this book for
example it's been run for a while it was
published three and a half years ago and
it's still making $500 a day in
royalties every single day which is
about $116,000 a month so you can see
that if you do this properly you can be
pretty passive and sustainable there's
no invent that you have to restock you
create the book once and it will sell
for months and years to
come so let's start creating the product
so I use this tool called book bolt to
put together the book now real quick
before I show you how to create the book
I also want to show you my criterias in
finding winning products so when you're
on the dashboard you want to go to cloud
and for category I'm just going to
choose coloring book and for BSR which
is the best sales rank on Amazon I want
to see books that are lower than maybe
13,000 and I'm going to hit search now
you want to look for two things number
of reviews and sales so if you see a
book that has a low number of reviews
but a high number of sales that's a clue
so that means that you don't have to
have hundreds or thousands of reviews to
get sales and if you can find something
that's published recently that's even
better so like this one here you see
that it has 20 reviews and it's already
selling pretty well without having
hundreds of reviews now you might also
be tempted to go super Niche because a
lot of people say Niche down and you'll
have much less competition but my advice
is you don't want to do that instead you
want to focus on demand cuz competition
mean there's demand for the product cuz
what's the point of selling products
with zero competition if you're not
making any sales so your strategy should
be find a product with high demand and
make something better because it's
easier to improve a product than to sell
something that nobody's looking for now
once you're ready to create the book you
want to go up here and click create and
click on book b studio and this is where
we're going to create the book so click
on new project and we're going to choose
paperback and I'll just call this uh
fruits coloring book going to choose 8.5
by 8.5 for the size and black and white
for page count going to do 40 and let's
hit create project so this is the cover
page I'm I'm going to come back to this
and do the pages first so now you can
click on this first page here and we're
going to start adding the drawings I'm
going to click on this image icon here
and you see that you got pixel Bay and
unsplash integrated here so click on pix
and let's say we want to search for
watermelon you want to filter by
transparent so we get the draw going
without the colors and we hit search so
let's say I like this one I can just
click on it and place it on the page so
I can play around with sizing and all
that now if you have your own set of
drawings that you want to use you can
also upload them here now you can use a
website like free pick to get the images
or you can also go to upwork and hire
someone to create the drawings for you
now I think if you're serious about this
this is a great option because the
drawings will be unique to yours and
that will just set you apart from your
competitors now I can't stress this
enough but create something that is
actually good something better than your
competitors cuz 90% of people who watch
these videos will just grab random Free
drawings and create a crappy product
right and when they don't make any sales
they say it's too competitive or it's
too saturated now as you can see here
there's this Talent on upwork who will
provide 20 Pages for $40 so that's $80
for 40 pages right but I'm sure you can
negotiate the price even more if you're
ordering invol if you think about it
this is a one-time cost that can
potentially make you thousands of
dollars every month so I think this is a
good strategy if you are serious about
this so now I've got some sample
drawings here and I'll just upload it to
book bolt and place it on a page and
obviously you want different fruit
drawings for every page I'm just doing
this to show you how it's done now let's
go back to the cover and we'll just use
a drawing of the fruits that have been
colored in so I'll just use this image
here just make it smaller bit and I'm
going to add a title I'll choose this uh
bold font Alpha slab one and place it
right the center and also coloring book
underneath now obviously you can get
creative with the colors and the fonts
uh you want to take the time to have a
good design cuz this is what your
customer will see on Amazon and if
you're already hiring someone to do
these designs for you you might as well
have them design the cover as well so
you get the same theme and style now
once you're ready with your book you can
simply go up here and click on this
first option here and book bold will
compile everything into a PDF which you
can directly upload to Amazon KDP now
I'm not going to show you how to create
an account with KDP because there are a
lot of tutorials on YouTube on how to do
that now book b is $9.99 a month this
plan is good enough to produce coloring
books but if you're creating puzzle
books for example you're going to need
the Pro Plan now since I'm a book b
partner you can use my link below and
use code Json 20 and get 20% off the
plans here now book BT offers a 3-day
free trial as well and after that you'll
be paying $7.99 a month if you use my
code now I think this is a great value
for what you're paying cuz you get to do
your product research and you can create
the book and you'll also have access to
the weekly calls here under live calls
and you see that they've done 84
webinars so far and they cover
everything from product research to
strategies now for me when I'm selling
new products I don't want to just do the
bare minimum you want to give everything
you got to see if your product actually
works or not so I'm going to be sharing
you a strategy that these sellers are
using to get massive sales so if you
look at the seller here Coco wo the
reason why they're so successful is not
because of Amazon ads but it's because
they're driving traffic from social
media so if you see here they've got
quite a huge following 242,000 on
Instagram and they've got 100,000
followers on Tik Tok and notice that
they're just simply recording themselves
coloring in the books showing people the
product in action and these are faceless
videos if you notice just using their
hand to color in the books focusing on
showing the product and we've got
another seller on Amazon Meg publishing
they also have their own Tik Tok account
with about 240,000 followers and just
look at this guys 5.1 views on this one
video and 8 million views on this video
and this is exactly how they've been so
successful with their books you can see
here that she got her links here which
point to her Amazon storefront and also
just recently they added the option for
people to get the digital files so
people can just print it themselves I
think that's pretty smart now I think
this is a brilliant strategy cuz you're
basically creating content once and
every video will continue to drive
traffic for a months or years to come
and not only that but you can take one
piece of content and repurpose them to
other platforms like Instagram YouTube
shorts or even Pinterest now I know what
some of you are probably thinking that's
too much work well you know what you can
do with this you can even Outsource
these videos to Freelancers so if you go
to Fiverr or upwork you can actually
find people whose job is actually to
produce this type of content and this is
the perfect product cuz you're not even
showing your face in these videos so you
simply need to send them five to 10
books and they'll shoot the videos but
my advice is always when you're just
starting out try to do it yourself first
and then you want to delegate once you
have some sales now the other way of
course is to run Amazon ads if you have
the budget the upside with this is that
you just turn it on and you see results
immediately and by results I mean you
get to see if people like your product
or not but the downside is that it can
get expensive and I think if you rely on
ads to drive um 80 90% of your sales
that's quite dangerous so for me I like
to always use social media marketing one
to diversify and two if something
happens to my Amazon account I would
have built a sizable audience on Tik Tok
Instagram and I can drive them to
wherever I want and that's obviously the
downside to this model cuz you're
relying 100% on Amazon KDP which is
still a Marketplace you can't sell this
on your own website cuz Amazon is the
one that prints the book that's why I
recommending building a social media
presence alongside your Amazon store
build your own audience and move them
into an email list that you fully
control and one day you can sell other
related products to diversify your
income and that's how you build a real
business now I think the biggest issue
with this is that people are not taking
action you got so many ideas you don't
know which one to start so my
recommendation is to not overthink and
just start today cuz if you've never
started business before you probably
have so so many questions there's a lot
of missing pieces but nobody has
everything figured out just start and
you'll figure things out along the way
so just start by the way leave in a
comment below what are you guys
struggling with is it the product
selection is it the tools tell me what
you're struggling with and I'll try to
answer your questions in the comments
down below now if you guys want to see
more side hustle ideas that require $0
to start you want to check out this
