Are you dreaming of a new source of income that has great potential, is easy to develop and then sells itself? What sounds “too good to be true” really does exist: Low content books! Low content books are books that offer relatively little content themselves, but are filled in by their users. These are, for example, diaries, notebooks, coloring books, puzzle books, but also quote books, calendars or planners.
Many people still prefer to fill in their diaries by hand rather than on a PC. However, you can also create low content books as e-books, which you can then either print out yourself or fill in on your PC.
Why publish low content books on Amazon?
The easiest way to successfully distribute your low content book is Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP). This is a platform for publishing e-books and paperbacks. You can upload your content free of charge and then distribute it either as an e-book, paperback or hardback book directly via Amazon.
This is a very practical option, especially if you are just starting out. Just bear in mind that you will normally receive between 30 and 70 percent of the net price as royalties. In return, however, you don’t have to worry about finding a contract or, in the case of paperbacks, distribution/storage costs, and you immediately reach a huge number of people who store on Amazon.
5 steps to your low content book on Amazon
-
Choose your ideal low content book
The possibilities for low content books are endless and it’s easy to get lost in them – everything sounds so great – but what exactly should your first product be? It’s best to choose a subject area that you are familiar with. Do you own horses and have 1000 pictures of your favorites? Then how about a horse calendar? Do you love to organize and always write lots of to-do lists, weekly and monthly plans? Then why not create a planner!
-
Define your target group
Impersonal calendars are a dime a dozen. But who should yours be for? The better you know your target group, the better you can adapt your low content book to them. This will make your products stand out from the crowd of impersonal articles! Let’s stick with the calendar example. You’ve decided that it should be a horse calendar because you like riding and taking photos yourself. Let’s assume your target group is young girls between the ages of 10 and 14:
- What kind of pictures would they like?
- What colors, what mood?
- What font would they choose?
- How would they decorate the pages?
The more questions like these you ask yourself, the better you can adapt your low content books to your target group!

The journey is the destination!
Especially with the first low content book, there is a great risk that it will never be finished: You are naturally motivated to make your product as good as possible – just don’t overdo it! It’s best to first think about some criteria that your product should fulfill and set yourself a deadline for when it should be ready – otherwise it’s easy to get lost in the details. Once you’ve finished your first product, you can offer more “luxury” versions or create a new product for another target group that incorporates your new knowledge. Or sell the first version while you’re working on an upgrade!

Build the bridge
Once you have gained some experience with your low content products, you can also adapt them to your online courses: Create companion books for your courses or offer your low content books as add-ons: Coaching diaries, planners for coaches, yoga calendars… the possibilities are endless!
-
Consider feedback
Publishing on Amazon has the further advantage that you will receive many reviews of your product. Take the feedback into account when further developing your product and producing more low content books!
Conclusion: Creating low content books is not difficult!!
If you follow these 5 steps, you will have created your first low content book very quickly. You’ll quickly create another passive income because you can develop it just once and then sell it easily via Amazon.
