Publishing
There are 2 main types of book publishing; Traditional and Self-publishing
● Traditional Book Publishing:
This is when the book publishing is handled by an already existing publishing house. In this case, the publishing house handles the book design, publishing, production and marketing.
Usually, in traditional publishing, the publishing house doesn’t write the book, the manuscript is purchased from the original author and then published and sold for profit by the publishing house.
● Self-Publishing:
Self-publishing refers to when the production, design, editing, marketing and everything involved with the publishing and sale of a book is handled by the author without help or the involvement of an established publishing house. In this case, the author is in control of everything, including trying to source for customers and an audience.
BENEFITS OF SELF PUBLISHING?
- You are in complete control and get to tailor the books as you see fit as the entire publishing process is self owned.
- You can choose whether to publish as a physical book or as an ebook.
- The author is responsible for the pricing and receives profits. The author
decides how much to charge and gets to keep a larger portion of the profit.
- It is a source of consistent income: Even after the launch, people can still buy the
books and since the rights and manuscripts are not sold to a publishing company, the benefits never actually end.
- It provides the author with the chance to meet new people and grow both in the market and as an individual. With the many pros of self-publishing it is obvious that it is a much better option for
anyone that wants to have a steady and consistent stream of income. But why then do people sell their works to publishing firms and houses? This is because a lot of self-publishers struggle with the cost of design, production and publishing.
This coupled with the stress of having to amass an audience and get people to actually buy the book is enough to discourage a lot of people from self publishing. This is why you should go for a good self publishing platform with low cost advertising and Amazon KDP is just what you need!

Creating Your First Low Content Book
Before publishing your book, there are certain things that must be considered and done to make it good enough to attract downloads. Remember, you may be doing all the publishing for free, but the money comes from the traffic (the downloads and engagements). So here are a few things to consider before making even your low content books to get the money coming in:
NICHE:
To make downloadable content on Amazon, you need to publish Something worthwhile. So do your research, find out what moves on the market and the kind of low content books that seem to be thriving at the moment. The more popular the niche, the higher your chances.
Examples of popular low content niches are: Journals, cookbooks, planners and cook books. The next step is to narrow down to something specific within that niche. An example is a daily meal planner.
KEYWORDS:
Combine a list of popular keywords that are most likely to come up in searches within that niche. For example, anyone searching for a planner or their diet would probably search “meal planner” or “diet planner”
UNIQUENESS:
For your content to sell, it has to stand out
- Make sure that the description is catchy and attractive
- If your book is in a popular niche with popular keywords but there are not so many of its kind, then you’re doing it right !
BOOK DESIGN AND DESCRIPTION:
To create the cover of your book, keep in mind that the cover is the first thing that people see and in this market everyone judges a book by its cover.
- The cover should be attractive and eye-catching
- The cover should not look mediocre (no one wants to buy a book that looks low in quality).
- Don’t use images of people to avoid copyright problems and If you must, use license free images.
- The description should match the cover and also be as catchy and appealing.
- Choose categories that would make your book easy to find.
Publishing and Pricing
- You do not need an isbn for low content books but you can also choose to get free KDP isbn.
- Choose the black and white interior with white paper.
- Upload the pdf/file containing the inner content.
- Set up the book cover by uploading your designed cover
- To choose a price, it is advisable to use the average price of books similar to yours. If a book is too pricey, it would drive away potential customers and a cheap book would seem low quality.
