Welcome back, Books After Dark Lovers! It’s your boy, Mr. Steve, here with another dive into the world of online side hustles. Today, we’re exploring how you can make money with Amazon KDP by selling blank-lined notebooks. Let’s see how you can earn up to $2,489 in just four months with these top strategies.
What's the Hype About?
Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) offers a unique opportunity to sell low-content books like notebooks, journals, and planners. With just some creativity, a computer or laptop, and an internet connection, you can have your notebooks available to millions of potential buyers on Amazon’s global marketplace.
I started my journey by publishing a blank notebook on Amazon KDP. Within the first month, I earned almost $100 in sales. By Christmas, my sales had skyrocketed to approximately $2,500 a month.
Here are the top three strategies that helped me achieve this success:
Strategy #3 - Creating Bundles or a Series
One effective tactic is to create a bundle or a series of related products. For example, offering a set of related notebooks at a discounted price can attract more buyers. A series or bundle of products with a cohesive design, like our Sarcastic Sally Notebooks and Coloring Books, sold as one set at a discounted price, not only increases the perceived value but also boosts your visibility on Amazon’s ‘Frequently Bought Together’ and ‘Products Related to This Item’ lists.
Strategy #2: Cover Design
Your notebook’s cover is crucial. A compelling and attractive cover can entice customers to click and buy. Use tools like BookBolt and Canva, or hire a designer on Fiverr to create unique, eye-catching designs. Browse Amazon to see what’s trending in your niche and find a unique angle to differentiate your notebook.
Strategy #1: Reviews
Reviews are critical for boosting sales. They increase buyer confidence and can significantly impact your product’s success. Aim to get at least 5-10 reviews initially. Remember, even a notebook with a simple design can perform well if it has numerous positive reviews. And, a tip: you can offer complimentary copies of your notebook in exchange for honest reviews—just be sure to adhere to Amazon’s guidelines.
