What Are Low Content Books?
What are low-content books? They’re the fun, creative books that have minimal writing in them! You’ll find all sorts of gems like coloring books, search-a-words, journals, notebooks, planners, sketchbooks, and workbooks. The variety is endless, with some being unique and others wonderfully familiar. The best part? They’re super easy to create! If you’ve ever thought about putting together a journal or notebook, you’ll find it doesn’t take much time at all. I’ve even made and published a few of my own low-content books on Amazon!

Why Create Low-Content Books?
For me, creating low-content books is therapeutic. I love the design process, and I enjoy using my products. They help to rein in my anxiety. Plus, if I need a book where I can copy down recipes, I go and make my own to use. I will publish them to Amazon using KDP if it is a good one. I love coming up with different ideas for these types of books. I’m not trying to reinvent the wheel, as many people also create and publish these types of books. I am sure you have heard of Adult Coloring Books, for example.
Here is one of my journals from Amazon!
How do I create Low-Content Books?
I use a program called Canva. They offer a free and pro version that you can use to create all kinds of digital products. That’s the great thing about Canva. If I don’t want to publish on Amazon, I can sell the digital version of my books on places like my own website, Etsy, and Stan Store, and you can even upload your digital files to print-on-demand places such as Printify, Tee-Spring, and Zazzle to name a few. Another good program is called BookBolt. They offer an easier way to make coloring and search-a-word books. They even have a way where you can see what the best sellers on Amazon are at the moment to help you with your research. They offer a 3-day trial, and you must pay for a subscription. They offer one for a newbie and then a pro version.
Can You Make Money Creating and Selling Low-Content Books?
By now, you may have asked yourself this question, and the answer is not as easy as you would think. There are many variables to the answer. First off, I am sure you have seen the millions of videos on YouTube or the millions of posts on Social Media touting how they have made so much money creating and selling low-content books, whether in print or digital form. The answer is you can create all kinds of books, digital or print, but if you can’t market your products, your sales will not come in. Yes, you can publish on Amazon, and sometimes you get a random sale, but because the market is saturated, you will need to market your products. There are many ways to do this, but the main ones are through social media, blogging, an email list, or ads. The potential is there to make an income, but it will take some work. It is not one of those get-rich-quick schemes, that’s for sure.
In Conclusion
If you want to know more about creating, publishing, and selling Low-content books, I will link some of the creators that I follow on YouTube to this article so you can see if this is something you would like to do or invest your time in. Sometimes, designing these books is a creative release, and even if you don’t publish your book, you can take the digital version and have Staples or Office Depot print the book for you if you want to use it for yourself. I will admit there is nothing like designing your journal or coloring book and getting a print copy for yourself to use.
If you would like to know more about publishing your books to Amazon through KDP, I will link to their website. They have many articles and videos to help you publish your creations.
You can do most of this for free. You can design in Canva with a free account and publish to Amazon for free. The only cost to you is if you buy a print copy of your book from Amazon.
