Amazon KDP has changed and what worked a few years ago does not work the same way today. But don’t worry, I’m not saying KDP is dead or that it got harder. I’m just saying that it is different now. KDP is still great and you just need to use strategies that still works now rather than what used to work years ago. People see KDP change, they panic and they might call it dead. However, I’ve been doing Amazon KDP for over 10 years now and I’ve watched this business change over three or four times now. Every single time when the old strategy stopped working, people said, “Oh, it’s over. Amazon KDP doesn’t work anymore.” But as we all know, that is not the case. There are more people making more money than ever with Amazon KDP right now than in the history of the business. So, in this video, I’ll show you why and how KDP changed, what stopped working, and what is still working right now so that you can continue to crush it with this business. It doesn’t matter if you’re brand new or you already have multiple books up on Amazon. What I’m going to talk about in this video applies to both. So, let’s get into it. So, first I want to talk about why Amazon KDP changed. And there’s basically one very clear reason and that’s AI. Making a book, when I first started 10 years ago, this process used to take months. I literally have multiple books where it took five months, six months, even seven months plus to create one book. Now, it takes only days if not hours. So, the barrier to entry basically disappeared. So, way more people started publishing for this reason and most of them are pumping out garbage as fast as they can because people think in order to succeed in this business, it is playing the volume game rather than the quality game. So, because it’s so easy to create books, they’re just pumping out as much as possible. And that is the flood everyone’s complaining about. If you read the comment section of any videos about Amazon KDP on YouTube, everyone’s saying that, “Oh, people are just pumping out AI slop and flooding the market with junk.” And although there are some truth to that, it’s actually not a big issue which you would understand if you understand how the Amazon algorithm works. But anyways, the main thing is to understand that this is not an Amazon KDP problem. This is literally a every single business model in the entire world problem, right? Every single business got flooded for the exact same reason of AI lowering the barrier. Agencies, e-com, freelancing courses, YouTube, all of it. AI lowered the barrier everywhere, not just with Amazon KDP. So, if you’re planning to leave KDP for some other business because you think, for whatever reason, this specific issue is only happening in the KDP space and if you go to the other side (grass is always greener on the other side, so you think it’s better) you go to another business, you will encounter the exact same thing. So, now that we understand what happened, right? Let’s talk about what stopped working because of that change. In my opinion, this is the biggest change. Publishing a pile books that all look like everyone else’s, that doesn’t work anymore. So, if you’re just simply ripping off the number one book in the niche, basically seeing, you know, the top seller in whatever topic you’re trying to go into, and then just copying everything from the cover style to the title to the positioning everything, without having any unique angle for your book, that doesn’t work either. And publishing your book and just waiting for Amazon to bring you sales, that never really worked before, even before AI anyways, but it definitely doesn’t work now. Yes, Amazon puts your book in front of millions of shoppers, and it handles payments, printing, shipping, and refunds. Absolutely amazing stuff, like it’s crazy how much Amazon does for us, but it doesn’t market your book for you, and it doesn’t get you reviews, right? That part is yours, at least in the beginning. You know, once you do that yourself and the book starts picking up momentum, yes, Amazon will absolutely take over a good chunk of that, but you still have to get that started. So, a lot of people complain how Amazon KDP is too saturated and how you competing with thousands of books, right? But as I said earlier, if you understand the Amazon algorithm, you would understand that that is actually not true. Because even if there are 10,000 other books on your topic, you’re not actually competing with all 10,000 of them. So, let’s say there are 10,000 books in your niche, right? And people see that number in the Amazon search results, they see the 10,000 and they get discouraged, and they quit before they even start. But once again, you’re not competing with 10,000 books because almost all of them are terrible. Most of them, like a lot of people in the comment section complain about, are AI slop. Most of them have horrible covers. They have no reviews. They have terrible title from people who don’t understand how to title your book properly. And the good news is, the way the Amazon algorithm works is that if your book is bad and if there’s no buying signal from the customer like the customers aren’t buying it, the customers aren’t reviewing it Amazon will quickly drop your book to page 10, 20, page 100, basically way below page one. Most of the 10,000 books, literally like 9,900 and you know 80 books or so, most of them will just get dropped to page 100 or something. So again, you’re not even competing in that area because you’re not competing in this bottom-of-the-barrel zone, right? So your real competition is the 10 or 20 books that actually are pretty decent and they are ranking on page one. So whatever you see on page one, that’s like 10, 20 books, those are your real competition and that is it. So to summarize, you’re not competing with 10,000 books. You’re competing with 10 to 20 books. And if you simply create a book that’s somewhat decent, you have a real chance of positioning yourself on page one. And this is how to actually be better, right? You just need a better book cover, high-quality content that customers actually enjoy and leave a positive review. You want more reviews. And this is the biggest one that people miss is that you need a unique angle {slash} positioning. Which brings me to how Amazon KDP is moving forward. Again, this is not a KDP thing, right? In every other business, if you do other businesses, you probably will relate to this a lot, is that positioning will be more important than ever. So finding a unique angle for your book was always important, but it matters way more now because everyone is making the same book, right? AI is very good at recycling content as we all know. So if you just take, you know, your best-selling competitor and have AI just create a very similar book to that, then you’re essentially going head-to-head with all of them. And if everything else is the same like you got similar cover, title, positioning, everything else again, then the only difference a customer will see is a difference in reviews. And since your book is newer than the ones on page one that you’re competing with, obviously you will have less reviews, which means you will lose. But if you come up with something a little bit different, right? You’re the first one in the spot, first one with the unique angle, that is much, much easier to win. Now, having less reviews doesn’t matter as much anymore. So, let me show you some real examples of finding your unique angle so you can stand out. So, there are three ways to find your angle. Number one is niching down by the audience. So, that could be like writing a book on the same topic, but you’re targeting a different reader. Like, instead of doing a normal Tai Chi book, you’re doing Tai Chi for women. Or instead of doing normal yoga, you’re doing yoga for seniors, right? So, the topic already sells, we know that, but you’re just making it for a specific person. The second way is to combine two proven topics. So, you’re taking two topics that both already sell on its own, and you’re putting them together. Examples, bold and easy coloring book sells extremely well. Halloween books sells extremely well. Bam, put it together, now you got bold and easy Halloween. Or like, you know, a lot of people do like the the creepy characters, but they’re kind of cute type of coloring book, that is what I’m talking about. Another example, murder mystery word search. So, yeah, there are so many different ways to combine two topics. The third way is using the same topic, but you got a new method. Right? So, this is coming up with a completely different approach. Like, the book topic is the same, but it has a totally different method or a different format. So, you don’t need a brand new idea to stand out. You just need a different way into an idea that already sells. Once again, here are some real examples, okay? So, instead of just doing a Tai Chi book, this book niche down to Tai Chi for seniors, niching down by the audience. So, this is example number one. And this book is probably doing $500 to $1,000 per month if you include all the formats. This is the example of combining two different profitable topics and coming up with with a unique combination. So, this book is a murder mystery puzzle, and it’s number four currently in the entire Amazon store. And this book is doing $64 to $107,000 a month. It’s crazy. It’s blowing up on Tik Tok right now, and that’s another reason why. By the way, don’t try to rip this book off. Most likely you’ll get your book blocked because that’s what’s been happening. So, this is exactly why you don’t want to just, you know, see what’s working and just rip them off, right? You have to come up with your own unique angle. And this is a new method example. So, instead of doing just Tai Chi, we’re doing Tai Chi walking for weight loss, right? So, walking is a new method here. You know, there’s also chair Tai Chi. So, sitting on a chair and doing tai chi is the other method. So, it’s the same topic, tai chi, same goal, weight loss. However, the method in between is different. So, that’s exactly what you want for every single one of your book. You always want to come up with a new angle. Because if you just create the same book as everyone else, you’re going head-to-head with all of them. You need hundreds of reviews to compete because that’s the only metric your customer will use to compare your books with others. You’ll be competing on price and the buyer compares you side by side. However, if you introduce a new angle, something unique about your book, then now you’re the first one in the spot. You need far fewer reviews. You set the price because no one else is competing with you, right? You can price your book high, it doesn’t matter. Because the customer has nothing to compare you to. So, this is the biggest thing. A unique angle means you need much fewer reviews. And this is the part most people miss. If your book is basically the same as the top book, the buyer puts them side by side and they just pick based on how many reviews it has and what’s the price. And nine times out of 10, you lose that because you’re a brand new book. Most likely, you don’t have any reviews or not a ton and you’re competing against this book that’s been established on Amazon for years. But if your book is the only one made for that specific reader, there’s nothing to compare to and you can get away with way less reviews. So, that’s one big thing moving forward is that I think every single book needs a unique angle. And this is the second thing that I think will be very important moving forward with Amazon KDP. And that is speed to market. So, there are new niches and new angles popping up constantly now. And you have this limited amount of time after finding that topic or finding that new niche and jumping onto it and securing your spot and start, you know, getting a ton of sales and racking up a ton of reviews because you’re getting sales. You have a very limited time and this window is real. Once you miss it, it’s going to be a lot harder to go into it because the first couple books that jumps on it and secure their spot picks up all the reviews and the rank before anyone else shows up. Now, it’s not like you’re guaranteed to secure your spot and no one can knock you off, because of course, you know, like I said in point number one, if someone who publishes after you comes up with their unique angle that’s way better than yours, then they carve out their own market and they can still make money; but that requires skills, right? It’s a lot easier to jump on trends before anyone else. Like that’s one of the fastest and easiest way to make money quick. So, since it’s so important to find a profitable topic and jump on it as quickly as possible, you can’t really take a year to write one book anymore. That’s way too slow. But you also don’t want to whip up a book so fast that the quality is horrible, because then you’ll get replaced very quickly after the second book shows up and the quality of that book is better than yours. So, you want both, right? You want to be the first in a trending topic, then you lock in your position because your book is high quality. This is a relationship you have to understand on fast versus good, right? If you’re fast, but you got a bad book, you’re going to get replaced by people who come after you. If you’re slow and you have a good book, you just missed the window to jump on that trending topic. So, you need fast and good. You take the spot and you keep it. And this is why it’s very important to learn AI because AI helps with speed. If everyone else is using AI and you’re not, it’s going to be really tough keeping up with others and jumping on hot trends before them because you’re just not fast enough. And the whole goal with AI is to create better books faster. Although not everyone is following that, that’s what it should be and that’s exactly what we want. And if you’re wondering how I constantly find new keywords that has extremely high demand with almost no competition, that’s because I use a Niche Hunter tool by co-author.ai. So, co-author is a software I built myself and I talk about it often on this channel. But we created one of the research feature that we have here called Niche Hunter. And what you can do here is literally to sort the entire Amazon bookstore and find books that matches whatever criteria you set. So, let’s say I only want to find self-published books only in the book category that is selling extremely well, so that is 30,000 BSR below, which usually means it’s making thousands of dollars per month, but I don’t want it to be super competitive. So, let’s say it has less than 10 reviews. So, it’s selling extremely well, but only less than 10 reviews, right? And if you hit search, literally within seconds we have all these books that fits that exact criteria. This one, 300 train track logic puzzles for adults. This is my first time of hearing train track logic puzzles and I guarantee this is a new hot topic. I don’t think this is a the topic either because it’s just a generic phrase train track logic. So, obviously double check that, but I think this is going to be one of the new trends in the medium content space. So, this book only has seven reviews and yet it’s at 562 in the BSR making an estimated 18,000 almost $19,000 per month. In fact, when I go to Amazon and type in train track logic puzzles for adults, there’s only 556 results, which if you understand Amazon KDP and you’ve been doing this for a while, you know that that is a really good number and all the books on page one got very low amount of reviews, but every single one of them are selling extremely well. Like eight reviews, 300 bucks per day, 34 reviews with a bad rating, hundreds of dollars per day, this one as well. This one three reviews, 18,000 BSR. And I just found this within seconds, not scripted. I did not know this keyword existed until just now, right? So, that’s how you can find new topics. Like even this one, this is a new bold and easy coloring book idea that’s selling really well, two reviews and it’s making thousands of dollars per month and it’s just a bold and easy coloring book of nail arts. And from here you can click on the analyze competitive advantage and co-author will start analyzing this topic, reading the reviews, what people are complaining, what people are liking in the reviews and it’s coming up with your unique positioning on how you can create your book to be different and better than what already exists on the market. And this is what we got. This is the more value angle. So, it’s train track logic and brain teasers. Now it’s 600 puzzles because it says while the competitor offers only 300 puzzles with standard solutions, this volume doubles the content to 600 train track puzzles and adds comprehensive step-by-step visual solving guides for every single grid size. Gives you the positioning angle, why it fits the market. High volume puzzle searchers actively filter for large omega collections, which is true, right? That is the case. A lot of mega or super big jumbo puzzle books are selling really well on Amazon. This is a niche audience, so this is the large print train track logic and brain teasers for seniors, right? To boost memory and cognitive health. So, this book adapts a popular train track puzzle format specifically for seniors utilizing high contrast drawing print grids and simplified jargon free instructions to ensure frustration free cognitive exercise. So now we’re doing the niche and down as well as combining two different topics that are profitable, right? Train track puzzle and the memory and brain boosting, you know, puzzle book. Two topics combined. And then the last one simple and faster so daily train track logic and brain teasers in just 5 minutes a day. So so many angles and from here if you want to make any of these books, you can click on this button it will take you to the guided book flow and you can follow step-by-step to create the book. So if you try to manually do this, you literally just scrolling through Amazon endlessly hoping you stumble upon a hot keyword. That’s going to take hours if not days, but with co-author it’s seconds. So that’s exactly how I do it. If you want to check out co-author, I’ll leave a link in the description below. So what I suggest you do if you’re a beginner is you want to shotgun first and then build a series later. So a lot of people hate on doing the shotgun method, but I think in the beginning you kind of have to do that, right? So you want to test several ideas fast on what looks good and you need actual feedback. So you want to see what actually sells and then once you have a winner out of the multiple books that you published, you’ll have one that’s an outlier that’s selling better than others. Then you stick to that niche, right? And you build a series around that winner. Another thing that’s important moving forward to understand is AI is an assistant, it’s not a replacement. So there are two ways people use AI at the moment, right? The people drowning right now are using AI as a replacement, completely replacing themselves and trying to build a KDP business. They prompt the AI software, they copy the content, they just paste it into Google Doc and then they upload it to Amazon. And that’s exactly the garbage that’s flooding the market and that’s the 9,999 books that nobody buys that will just get dropped in the algorithm. The people winning right now use AI to do the slow parts a lot faster, right? Accelerating the research process, outline, first draft. But they still pick the angle, they still set the quality bar, they still read the actual book and edit it before it goes up. So same exact AI, completely different end results. Now if you tried using Claude or ChatGPT to write a full book, you probably have some experience on what happens after generating a few chapters. It gets very repetitive over time, the voice gets inconsistent between sections and when you finally read the whole book, it doesn’t sound like an actual human wrote it. Generic AI creates short conversations really well, but writing a complete book with 100 plus pages is a completely different challenge. And that’s exactly why we built Co-author. Co-author is an AI tool built specifically for Amazon KDP by people who publish their own books on Amazon and makes real money doing it. It’s designed to create complete books, so the tone stays consistent across every chapter. The structure connects to each section and the finished book reads like a real human wrote the whole thing. Links in the description if you want to check it out. So, the next strategy that’s working really well is to create a better book and price it higher. Most people price their book at whatever everyone else is charging and then they never touch the price again. But, if your book is generally better than what’s on page one, you should be able to charge more for it. And a higher price changes the whole math on when you’re running ads. If you have a higher price, you’ll have a higher profit margin, which means you can bid higher on Amazon ads and still make money. And this is one of the best ways to start making money with KDP by simply making a better book and selling it for a higher price. So, we had one of our students, Dan, who was netting around $300 a month. But, then his coach told him to raise his price from $9.99 to $19.99. So, that’s a $10 increase in the book price when everyone else in his niche was down at $6.99 to $12.99. So, he priced his book significantly higher than everyone else and a few days later his ad account ran dry, meaning he used up all his budget for ads for that month. He figured sales would slow down. Instead, the book held its rank and he made $1,244 net profit in a single day with zero ad spend. And that is just from one change of increasing the price. Another big change that I’m observing right now is that there a lot more ways to market your book now. So, book marketing used to be just one option, running Amazon ads, right? It was paid to play or you get nothing. But, now you got Amazon ads, you have TikTok shop, you have organic social media like on YouTube, Instagram, TikTok. There are multiple ways. Organic social costs you time, right? It takes time and effort to post these videos, but not money. So, you can do it completely for free. So, that’s a free traffic channel that did not exist for book publishers a few years ago. So, the barrier to entry in creating a book dropped, right? The cost of creating a book dropped significantly, and the cost of marketing a book dropped as well. Like, it’s basically free now if you want to do that route. As an example, one of our students, Heather, she’s a 40-year-old mom of eight kids, which is absolutely incredible, and she joined about a year and a half ago. And this past June, her TikTok shop did $775,000 in sales, over 27,000 orders at about a 20%margin. And this is just on TikTok shop. There are a lot of spillover sales, a lot of extra traffic from her videos on TikTok searching for her book on Amazon, and she’s making a lot on Amazon organic sales as well. So, this is her words, not mine. She says, “If a 40-year-old mom of eight kids can do this, you can, too.” So, those are the new changes that I’m observing and how you should move forward. Now, I want to talk about what hasn’t changed. First is people still buy books. That never changed. A good book in a real niche still sells, same as it did 10 years ago. So, the book business is definitely not dying, right? A lot of people say, “Oh, books are dying. Who reads books anymore?” They’re just kind of projecting their own experience, but just because they don’t read books doesn’t mean the whole world doesn’t read books, right? Even like the blogging and SEO business, way older than Amazon KDP, by the way, you would think that business would be dead, but there are people still making a lot of money with SEO. Even outside of online business, right? The restaurant business as an example. This is the oldest, most crowded business there is, right? There are thousands of new restaurants open every single year, and most of them close. However, the good ones, the ones that do it right, still fills up every single night, and you make a lot of money. And nobody stands outside of packed restaurants saying the restaurant business is dead, because the fact is, right? Not even my opinion, this is facts right here. The numbers are going up. If you look at the Amazon KDP website, they always tell you how much the Amazon KDP author earnings are, right? Like, total combined. And this number, when I started, was like literally 19 million or something like that. And over the years, month after month, this number has only gone up, never down. So, this is still true. People still buy books, good books still sells, Amazon still is the best place to sell books, although there are other ways like TikTok shop on the rise. So, KDP is dead is an excuse, not facts. Most of the time when someone says KDP is dead or when someone says, you know, anything is dead, they’re just looking for permission to not try. Because if it’s truly dead, then they don’t have to do the work, right? They don’t have to spend the money. They don’t have to spend the time to actually do this business, and they can’t fail if they don’t try. And that’s the real reason. People are so scared of failing, so they find a reason to never start, right? If they actually try and fail, all of a sudden their ego is hurt. They have to admit that they couldn’t do it. So, they’re just coping and they’re just justifying their fear of taking action. So, if that’s what you’re doing, that’s a choice that you’re making, right? It has nothing to do with Amazon KDP. As an example, one of our students, Juan, spent a whole year watching his numbers go down. And he blamed competition, he blamed AI, he blamed everything outside of him. And this is his words, right? He says, “What I didn’t do at first was look in the mirror.” And then he did exactly that. His old books weren’t good enough. So, he rebuilt it with new brand, better covers, better positioning. And then he turned his business around. Now it’s on the rise again, and he says, “What changed is just simply taking ownership.” So, there are always going to be two types of people. Those who believe they can’t, so they look for reasons why they can’t do something, and those who believe they can, so they look for ways to do it. Every successful person looks for ways to succeed, not for reasons not even try. Change is constant, not just in KDP, but in life, right? Things are always changing. And you can either complain or just accept that this is life. Things are always going to change and adapt and keep going. Again, this isn’t the first time KDP changed. This is like fourth or fifth time, or maybe even more. So many people quit at every single one of these changes in the past. But the ones killing it right now with this business are the ones who adapt and found a way to succeed despite the change. Now, if you’re learning KDP from free YouTube videos, they can teach you what a good niche looks like, but they can’t tell you if your niche is a good pick, or look at your book and cover and tell you what’s wrong. That’s what Road to Hero fixes. It’s my mentorship program for Amazon KDP. You get one-on-one coaching from coaches who are verified to have earned over $10,000 in a single month in doing this business themselves. They look at your niche, your book, your cover, and tell you exactly what to do next. Over 2,300 people have gone through the program with a 4.8 average rating on Trustpilot. If you want to see if our program is a good fit for you, you can book a free discovery call with the team. It’s 30 minutes long, and you will walk away with a personal plan whether you join or not. Plus a bonus just for showing up. The link’s in the description and the pinned comment. So, to summarize everything, no, KDP didn’t get harder, it just got different. You want to focus on creating good books, learn AI so you can jump on trends faster, and if you can do that, you can do very well with this. If you enjoyed this video, if you want more videos like this where I go a little bit deeper into the KDP topic with real examples, then let me know in the comments. Comment the word unique to let me know that you made it and you watched it until the end. And if you have any questions, I’ll answer it too, but basically these comments, likes, subscribe, those metrics will let me know to make more videos like that. So, if this video does well, I’ll do more of that. So, with that being said, thanks for watching, and I’ll see you in the next one.

There are people right now making a full-time income selling simple digital products that most people would never pay attention to. No warehouse, no shipping, no boss, just a file they made once that keeps selling on its own. In this video, I’m going to show you five digital products that are extremely underrated, but very profitable. These are boring. They look too simple to work, but they’re quietly making more money than a lot of what’s trending right now. So, I’ve been selling digital products for over 10 years now, and I’ve made millions of dollars doing so. And on this channel, I try to share with you what I’m learning personally for my own business. Now, before we get started though, understand that this is not financial advice and there are no guarantees because selling digital products is not a get-rich quick scheme. Even though the digital product itself is proven to work, it only works if you actually make it and make it good and give it time to sell. The people who succeed in this are the ones who stick to it, put in consistent work over a consistent period of time. And because I cannot guarantee how much work you put into it, I cannot guarantee any results. With that being said, I’m going to back up everything with actual data on why these products are selling. So, it’s definitely possible if you do it the right way. So, let’s start with the first one, which you might think it’s pretty random, but it’s templates for notaries, specifically for people called loan signing agents. Here’s what that even means. A loan signing agent is a notary who shows up when you buy or refinance a house and walks you through signing all that mortgage paperwork. It’s a real job and it pays surprisingly well. These people make somewhere around $75 to $200 per signing, and some are making a full-time income from it. Now, here’s where the digital product comes in. All these notaries need paperwork to run their business, like intake forms, prep sheets, invoice templates, marketing flyers to hand to title companies, price sheets, and more. And most of them don’t want to build that stuff from scratch. So, people are selling ready-made template packs to them for around $5 to $25 per pack. You make that pack one time, and every new notary who starts up is a potential buyer. And thousands of people become notaries every single year. And this works because you’re not selling to a random hobby crowd, right? You’re selling to people who are trying to make money themselves, which is often a better crowd to sell to. So when someone’s using your template to earn 150 bucks her signing, paying you $15 is definitely worth it. So yeah, you can definitely build a business selling notary templates. What you need to do is grab the attention of those notaries on Etsy and market it specifically for them. So, this one fits you if you’re comfortable doing a little marketing and you have ideas on notary content and format. All right, product number two is blowing up on TikTok right now and most people have no clue you can make money from it and that’s selling simple coloring books. So, I’m not talking about the super detailed intricate coloring books with a thousand tiny lines, right? What I mean is, you know, what’s called the bold and easy style. So these are big thick outlines, simple shapes, lots of open space. The kind of page you can finish in less than an hour and actually feel refreshed coloring it in instead of being stressed out because there’s so many tiny details. So the reason a simple coloring book like this is taken off right now is because regular coloring book stresses people out. There’s way too much detail, too much pressure to stay in the lines and bold and easy changes that, right? Kids can do it, young adults can do it to relax. Seniors love it because it’s easy on the eyes, easy on the hands. So, it has the widest market appeal to it. And here’s what makes this a real business. You can definitely sell this as a digital download that people print out at home through Etsy or different websites. But the best way to do so is you publish them as actual paperback books on Amazon through KDP. So, if you never heard of KDP, KDP is Amazon’s free self-publishing program. You basically upload the PDF copy of your book. So, you’re not even creating the book, you’re just creating a PDF, and Amazon will sell it on their own website. When someone orders it, Amazon prints it out and ships it for you. So, you have no inventory. You don’t have to deal with any of the printing and shipping, no customer service, nothing. You just create the book, upload it to Amazon, do a little marketing, and collect the royalty. So, here are some real examples of very simple coloring books that are selling really well on Amazon right now. So, we have the Big Sister Bold and Easy coloring book. And as you can see, the interior images are extremely simple. And yet, this book is doing between $728 to $1.2,000 per month in royalties just from this one book. If you’re wondering how I’m seeing this number, I have a free Chrome plug-in called co-author.ai. You can look it up in the Chrome plug-in store. It’s completely free. Once again, once you download it, you will see this number in every single book on Amazon. I’ll also leave a link in the description to the Chrome plug-in store. So, we have another book over here, Cozy Girl Season, and this book is doing 10 to $16,000 per month in revenue. And we have the last one, K-pop Superfan Bold and Easy Coloring Book is doing a couple hundred per month, which is still good. And the cover is not the best as well. So, if you sell these coloring book pages as a printable on Etsy, right, you’re competing on Etsy hoping someone finds you. And Etsy is cool. You know, it has some built-in audience, but the size of the built-in audience it has is nothing compared to what Amazon has, right? Amazon is the biggest online store in the whole world. So, you can also upload the book on Amazon and now your book is sitting in front of the biggest shopping audience on the entire planet and Amazon does the printing and the shipping and also the customer service for you. So, it’s way way more beginner friendly. So the big takeaway here is that you don’t want to over complicate things, right? The simpler the design, the better because simple is the whole point. So you don’t want to think that, oh, I should make it more complicated and people will like that. No, people actually want it to be simple. So this is one of the best starting point in this list if you’re brand new and you’ve never made a product before because there’s no writing. The design is very simple and there’s a huge trend right now. So if you love making things complicated, you can’t resist making things complicated for yourself, then this might not be for you. But for everyone else, this is a great starting point. All right, product number three is digital planner stickers. So, this is something you probably don’t know unless you’re in the market for Gen Z, like if you’re Gen Z, you know, you might know this. But here’s what these are. A ton of people use planner apps on their iPad, like GoodNotes, Notability to organize their life. And just like a real paper planner, they like to decorate it with little stickers. Except these stickers aren’t real. They’re just little image files. So you design a pack of them one time and people buy the whole set for anywhere from $3 to $15. So top sellers have packs with hundreds of stickers in them and sell thousands. And the buyers are pretty obsessed here. Planner people don’t buy one sticker pack, right? They buy a pack for every season, every mood, every holiday. Once someone likes your style, they come back again and again. So if you got an eye for cute, clean design, this is a fun one to start with. You can make them in something as simple as Canva or Procreate, and there’s no printing involved at all. So, you can go with this one if you actually enjoy making cute, clean, visual stuff and you don’t mind putting out fresh packs every so often to keep buyers coming back. If you want something you make one time and never touch again, then what’s coming up next might be a better match for you because a sticker shop needs you to keep feeding it new designs. All right, product number four is something you definitely not paid attention to without realizing that it’s a gold mine. And that is cookbooks, but not the kind that you’re thinking. So, everyone and their mom has tried to sell a generic cookbook like 100 easy dinner recipes and that is dead. Nobody needs another one and you’ll never stand out. A lot of books are already on that topic, but the ultra specific ones quietly sell like crazy. Let me give you some ideas. Instead of a carnival diet cookbook, you can do a carnival diet cookbook for beginners on a budget or a 30inut Mediterranean diet air fryer cookbook for beginners or a tasty anti-inflammatory cortisol detox diet cookbook. As you can see, these are super specific, right? And here’s why the specific ones wins every time. When someone’s dealing with a real problem, they don’t want a general book. They want a book that feels like it was made for exactly them. And they’ll pick yours over the generic cookbooks instantly, even if yours costs more. Which, by the way, the more specific the book is, the higher the price you can sell it for. So, you don’t have to be a professional chef. You don’t have to be a great writer. You can use AI to create your first draft and help you put the recipes and the structure together. Obviously, you want to really make sure that the information you get from AI is correct, right? You should be doing your own research if you don’t have any personal experience in this. If you do have personal experience, this is especially a great niche for you. But if you don’t have the patience to actually edit the content until it feels real and the information is accurate, especially if you’re doing cookbooks for some sort of health issue, then it’s a super big deal that you have accurate correct information. But if you can do that, this is very very profitable. So same as the coloring books, you publish these books on Amazon through KDP. So Amazon brings you the buyers who are already searching for a solution to their exact problem. A lot of people are searching for cookbooks on Amazon. So, you’re not chasing anyone. They come to you. So, this is definitely best for someone with some background in nutrition, cooking, or health, even if that comes from personal experience instead of formal training. You don’t need to be a dietitian, but understanding why certain foods affect the body will show in the quality of the book. So, if that’s not your area, this is a niche where hiring a knowledgeable writer is absolutely worth it. Like, essentially, you can hire a ghostriter that has experience in writing about this to create a book for you, although that’s going to cost more. Now, real quick, picking a profitable book topic is one thing, but knowing how to create a highquality book and how to market it so that you can start tapping into the Amazon’s customers and start making sales is a whole different bowl game. If you want help nailing that part and really making sure that you’re building a profitable publishing business, that’s the whole reason why I built my mentorship program, Road to Hero. It’s for people who are serious about making an income selling books on Amazon and you want a shortcut to picking niches and creating highquality books and actually making money from it. If that’s you, I’ll leave a link in the description. You can book a free 30-inut strategy call, talk to one of our coaches, and see if this program is a good fit for you. We don’t approve everyone because once you join, we’ll be working with you very, very closely on a one-on-one basis. And for that reason, we don’t want to approve everyone because not everyone is obviously a fit for the program. Sometimes there’s a personality mismatch and a lot of things. So, if you’re interested and you want to see if our program is a good fit for you, once again, check out the link in the description, book the free call, and we’ll talk to you there. All right, product number five is large print puzzle books. So, you already know these puzzles. We’re talking word search, sudoku, crosswords, cryptograms, and more. So, that’s not the secret, right? The underrated secret part is the format. So, you take those same puzzles and you turn them into large print format with big letters and big grids, and you sell them to one specific group of people, seniors. Because here’s what everyone misses. People look at a large print book and think, “It’s just bigger fonts. Who cares?” But that’s the whole point. You’re not selling a font size here. You’re selling to someone whose eyes aren’t what they used to be. you’re selling to someone who got tired of squinting at tiny puzzles and who’s so relieved to finally find one that they can actually see. So, here’s some examples of actual puzzle books making money right now. So, we have Retro Times Crossword puzzle book for adults and seniors with the co-author free Chrome plug-in. We can see that it’s making between 582 to $969 per month in revenue. We have another one, Sudoku Book for Adults, and this is doing between 2 to3.5K per month. And the last one is a new word search book for adults. And this is making between 13 to $22,000 per month. So the person isn’t buying based on price here, right? They found the thing that solves their problem and they buy it. And then they buy the next one and they leave a positive review because we solve the problem that they’re facing by making our books large print. And that’s why a lot of these books have thousands of reviews, right? It’s a massive loyal buying audience that most creators completely ignore because it doesn’t look flashy. So out of these options here, if you’re asking me what’s the best one, which one I would personally do, I would personally recommend books, right? So we’re talking the coloring books, the cookbooks, the puzzle books. And the reason why is because the book publishing business model is exactly what turned me from a guy that was failing in multiple different businesses for four years straight to actually starting to make money online. I made my first dollar online with this business model. Then I scaled up to 10K per month to six figures a year to multiple six figures a year. eventually selling my book portfolio for $820,000 and on and on. I made a lot of money from doing this. But it’s important to understand that picking the right niche is just one part of the equation. From here, now that you know that these niches are profitable, you have to learn how can you create a book that stands out amongst the competition, how can you create an attractive cover, an attractive title, a book description that sells, how do you actually upload and market the book, right? So you can start getting Amazon to push it for you as well. Those are the things that you have to execute to properly succeed in this business. So, if you want my team and me to actually guide you through this step by step, you can jump on a free call with us. It’s completely free and you can walk away with a personalized plan for your own KDP business and a clear idea of exactly which niche to go after first, whether you decide to work with us or not. You also receive some extra bonuses just for showing up to the call. You don’t even have to join. You’ll walk away with an extra bonus.

And if you want to go deeper onto the Amazon KDP topic, you can watch this video next because it takes what we just talked about and show you exactly how to actually start creating and selling these books. So, with that being said, thanks for watching and I’ll see you in the next

The laziest way to make money with AI right now only takes me about two to three hours a week to make five figures every single month. If you’re new to the channel, my name is Sean and I’ve tried a bunch of different businesses over the years and I made millions of dollars doing so. And after 10 years of doing this, I’ve realized there are basically two types of businesses out there. The first type can make you a lot of money, but you have to work non-stop. You’re always active, always working, always putting out fires. Then there’s the semi-passive one. Once you build it up, it runs pretty much on its own and takes only a few hours a week to maintain. And even with that semi-passive model, you can still make a lot of money. Like I’m making five figures a month. I got students in my private community making four, five, even six figures in a month. So if you love to work non-stop, if that’s your thing, then you can definitely build the first type of business. But if you’d rather enjoy life while making money, the second one is what you want. And AI just made it 10 times easier than it used to be. Before we move forward though, quick heads up that obviously this is not financial advice and results aren’t guaranteed. In this video, I may talk about my own results as well as my students results, but that is definitely not me guaranteeing that you’ll achieve the same results because this is a real business, not a get-rich quick scheme. So, it takes work, effort, you have to invest into this. But if you’re willing to actually do the work, this is in my opinion the easiest way to make money online that I’ve found so far. So, let me first explain the reason why this is the laziest way to make money and everything else is not. So there are many different business models out there. If you would categorize these businesses into how it works, you come down to four different options. Option number one is selling services. So these are freelancing, coaching, consulting. Yes, you can make money without a lot of upfront capital, but the second you stop working, you stop getting paid. So the way I look at service-based business is that it’s great. I’m not denying that, but it’s kind of like just working a job that you do online. And because you have to constantly show up and constantly provide the service, it’s the opposite of the lazy way of making money. Option number two is selling physical products, things like drop shipping and e-commerce. This also works well. A lot of people are successful in it. But I don’t think this is the most beginner friendly. I don’t think this is the laziest way because now you got inventory or suppliers to deal with. Plus, you got a lot of ads that you have to run. You got customer service every time something goes wrong. And that is a lot to manage. Option number three is selling digital products on your own platform like Gumroad, Etsy, or your own Shopify store. This is way better than the first two options because there’s no inventory, no shipping because you’re dealing with digital products. So, I like this a lot better, but there are still some downsides to it. You’re still responsible for driving the traffic because you’re trying to sell on your own website that has no existing traffic. You also have to build the audience yourself and if something breaks, you’re the one to handle customer service and other logistical issues. So, you’re still doing a lot of the work yourself. So even though it’s less work because you’re selling digital products than other businesses, you’re still doing a good amount of work yourself. Then there’s option four, selling digital products on Amazon. And more specifically, I’m talking about selling digital books on Amazon’s self-publishing platform called KDP. KDP stands for Kindle Direct Publishing. And once again, this is Amazon’s self-publishing platform where anyone can upload a book file and Amazon will print it into an actual physical book or sell it as a digital copy and they pay you for it. You just upload a PDF copy to Amazon. Amazon puts it on their store. And when someone buys, Amazon takes care of everything. They handle the printing, the shipping, even the refunds and customer support. They do all of that for you. And your only job is to make the book and hit upload. That’s why, in my opinion, if we’re talking about the most passive way to make money online, I think this model wins because Amazon already has millions of customers ready to buy. They are the biggest online retail store in the whole world. So, if you’re going to sell your product, if you’re going to piggy back off of existing traffic, Amazon is by far the biggest and you want to be on Amazon. You don’t have to build a huge social following to start because Amazon brings all the traffic to you. And on top of that, AI just made the entire book creation process way faster, way cheaper than it’s ever been. So, here’s the four-step process that I use. Step number one is picking your niche. A niche just means a topic of your book. And when it comes to KDP, there are honestly a ton of options. There are so many different genres that you can publish in like kids story books, coloring books, activity books, journals, trivia books, puzzle books, lowc content books, even non-fiction books, or fiction books. Every one of these is selling on Amazon right now. The big mistake I see beginners make is spending weeks trying to figure out the perfect niche. That’s not really risk management. It’s not really trying to be perfect. It’s literally just procrastination. You know, getting ideas of what books you’re about to publish is easy. It’s fun. Like the learning phase, the research phase, that’s always fun. But you don’t make money in the learning and research phase. You make money by actually publishing the book, getting it out there, right? Selling your products. But since people are scared of actually taking action, they mask that by staying in the research phase permanently. So the big thing to understand here is that there is no perfect niche. There are a lot of great niches out there, but nothing is perfect. Okay? So just pick one that looks good and you want to move forward. So what I personally do here is I open up Claude or Chachidi and I ask it to give me 30 ebook niches with high demand and low competition. Then I actually take those topics onto Amazon and check if there are other books selling on the topic. I run them through co-author.ai’s free Chrome extension to check the real numbers like how much it’s making per day in royalties, how many copies it’s selling per day. Once again, this is using co-author’s free Chrome extension. It’s 100% free. I’ll leave a link in the description. You just want to install that onto your Chrome and whenever you browse on Amazon, it shows you the best sellers rank, which is Amazon’s data of how well the book is selling and the rough monthly earnings and daily sales on any book that you’re looking at. So when it comes to the best sellers rank, the lower the number, the more copies the book is selling. So this way instead of guessing whether a niche is profitable or not, you’re looking at what similar books are actually earning right now. Again, if you find a lot of books that are doing well using co-authors, you know, extension, you literally see how much money it’s making. If it’s making $500 plus per month, that is enough proof that if you create a similar book like that, there is potential for you to make a similar amount. So this whole process should take a couple hours to max maybe couple days if you really want to go deep in the research process. But the issue once again as I said earlier people spend weeks if not months just stuck in this process. Just don’t make that mistake. Step number two is writing the actual book. This used to be the hardest part even just a couple years ago. If you wanted to publish a book, you either had to write it yourself, which takes months, or hire a ghostriter, which costs anywhere from $1,000 to $2,500 or more. That’s why most people never actually got started because I completely understand risking that much money without knowing if the book is going to sell or not is scary. But the good news is AI changed all of that. So you basically have two options right now. Option one is using generic AI tools like Claude or Chadipidi. These tools are pretty good at writing, but there is a catch. You do have to know how a book is actually put together and you have to prompt it correctly section by section to get the output that you can actually sell. This whole prompting process, this whole learning how AI communicates, learning how AI thinks is a little bit of learning curve, but if you have a good understanding of that, you can definitely go with that option. Option number two is using a specialized book creation tool like co-author. This is what I personally use and co-author is built specifically for the Amazon KDP business. So, the exact book structure to make it sell is already baked in. and it’s already prompted in the back end and it walks you through the research, the outline, the chapters, the book cover, the formatting, the entire process step by step. So, you basically have to follow those steps, fill out a few fields and it handles the rest. So, since this video is talking about the laziest way to do things, if you truly want the laziest way, then co-author is the way to go because it does most of the hard work for you. I do want to clarify that co-author Chrome extension, the research features is free. But if you want the step-by-step bookw writing process, then that comes with the paid subscription. Just wanted to be upfront there. So, both options work. If you like learning the process and you have time to figure out the prompting, generic AI is fine. But if you just want the book done fast, that’s when co-author makes sense to use. All right, step number three is uploading your book on Amazon. This is a pretty easy step. You just go to kdp.amazon.com. You sign up for a free account. Just fill in your basic information. It’s the same process as signing up for any other website. You want to link your bank account so you can get paid. You want to fill out the tax form and you’re all good to go. So from here, you want to upload the book, right? Fill in the title, the description, the keywords, and you upload the manuscript that you wrote, the cover file that you created, and that is it. The whole thing takes maybe 10 to 30 minutes per book. Then Amazon takes 72 hours or so to review it and put it live on the store. Once it’s live, you’re officially a published author. You can start bragging in family dinners and whatnot, but besides that, Amazon will start showing your book in search results so people can actually look it up and buy it. If someone buys it, then Amazon will pay you for it. And all you did here was upload a file. So that is how simple this is. But there’s one more thing that you have to do if you wanted to actually sell. And that is step number four. Getting reviews. Now getting reviews is the hardest part of self-publishing. Everyone knows that if you have three reviews and the book next to yours has 50 reviews, if you got the same product, if you got similar books that are offering the same thing, most likely the buyer would choose the one with more reviews. Now, there are many ways to stand out and sell your books, even if you have way less reviews. And I talk about that often in my channel or in my community, but getting reviews is still very important. So, there are a few ways to get reviews. You can build up your own audience on social media or email list and give out free copies in exchange for honest reviews. That is one way of doing so. is 100% allowed by Amazon. And this works, but it takes a long time. Building up your audience, it’s not easy, right? It can take months, sometimes years to build up an audience big enough to actually see real results. Another option is to post in Facebook groups and forums asking people to review your book. This also works. It’s 100% free, but it’s very slow and timeconuming. Or you can use option number three here, which is using a service called Book Reverb. So, Book Reverb is by far the fastest way and the laziest way that I found to get consistent reviews on Amazon. The way it works is super simple. Book Reverb has an email list with tens of thousands, probably hundreds of thousands of real readers at this point, all from different demographics, all interested in different book topics, and you upload your book onto Book Reverb. You set a bid for how much you’re willing to pay per review. And Book Reverb will take that and start showing your book to their audience. very quickly you will have readers start reading your book and leaving reviews on Amazon. So there are two things worth knowing about Book Reverb before you use it. And the first one is on compliance. It’s important to know that readers are paid to read the book, not to leave a review. They get paid the same amount whether they review or not. And they’re never required to leave a positive review. So that’s what keeps it inside Amazon’s guidelines. I’ve been using this personally for a very long time and a lot of my students use it too with no issues. The second thing to know is on pacing. So, you don’t want to try to get a 100 reviews in 3 days. Amazon’s algorithm doesn’t like that pattern. It’s way too quick. So, you want to aim for something like 10 to 15 reviews a week. That is a natural steady pace that Amazon has no problem with. So, I’ll leave a link to Book Reverb in the description below. Full transparency, that is my affiliate link, so I do get a small commission if you sign up through it. You can use it or not use it. Totally up to you. So, that is how you get reviews. is truly the laziest way to get reviews because you literally turn on the campaign on Book Reverb and you just sit back and review starts coming in. Now, let’s talk about what to actually expect from all this. So, after you get the book up on Amazon and you get some reviews, there’s a good chance that the book will sell some copies here and there. As long as you’ve done a good job picking a profitable topic based on other books already selling on it and creating a great book with an attractive title and cover. Of course, I cannot guarantee anything. I hope everyone has the common sense to know that this is a real business. Nothing is guaranteed, right? I’ve been doing this for 10 years now and I’ve coached literal thousands of students in my community. I published a lot of books myself and this is typically what we see because Amazon is so big, right? Amazon again is by far the biggest online retail store in the whole world. We got millions of people searching for books to buy on Amazon every single day. So just by being on Amazon and just uploading and waiting, there’s a good chance that you’re going to sell some copies here and there. However, very important to understand that selling some copies here and there organically, which each sale is going to be a couple bucks. So it’s about like two to four bucks each sale. So that’s great making that once in a while here and there, but we all know that’s not going to make you 5K a month, 10K a month or more, which making that amount is possible. We got a lot of students making that amount. Some even made over $100,000 in a single month. But you don’t get there just by stacking this couple sales here and there by uploading and forgetting. You should supplement with your own marketing if you want to scale further. It’s very similar to the concept of exercising or trying to get fit, right? If you go from like never exercising to just doing whatever, like even jogging or basic push-ups, even if the exercise is not effective, going from zero to something will get you some results. But if you want to go from like kind of ripped to like jacked, then obviously you have to improve your process. You have to learn the actual science of building muscle. You have to do more like optimize your dieting. So it’s one of those things where what takes you from here to here is not the same as what takes you from here to here. So it just depends on what you want. Anyways, many ways to scale, many ways to market your book. The two best way is running Amazon ads and doing social media marketing. I have tutorials on how to do both on my channel. If you do all the steps required, if you optimize the process and scale this business, I want to show you what’s possible by sharing some of our student results. So, we have one of our students, Toby. He has a health problem and he can only work a couple hours a day. In one of the summer, he put in only 13 hours total because he just couldn’t work because of medical issues, right? And he still made over $5,000 in profit. So, that shows how passive this can get. And that is because Toby built it up to that point, right? So even if he worked less, the income maintained because he already did all the work up front. So that shows how passive this business is. But on a separate occasion, Toby made over $100,000 in a single month, he did it twice, actually. Absolute beast. And I actually have an interview with Toby on my channel. So if you want to check it out, I’ll leave a link to this video. So something I really want to talk about here is that I know that the title of the video is the laziest way to make money with AI. And you know, because it’s titled the laziest way, it’s probably going to attract a lot of people who wants to make a ton of money without doing any work, right? Like truly lazy people. And although Amazon KDP, in my opinion, is the most semi-passive business that I know of, right? So, it kind of caters to that lazy, you know, seeking crowd, it still is a real business. It still requires work that you have to build up to that, right? Nobody uploads one book and just wakes up rich. That’s not how KDP works. And honestly, it’s not how any real business works. So, in terms of what is realistic, a solid book might make you somewhere around 500 bucks a month on its own. That is nice, but it’s not life-changing, right? But then you publish a second one. Then you publish a third book. Then the books you already have keep selling while the new ones ranks and it’s going to stack up to the income and over time your income just grows. So that’s the compounding part. That’s cool and it’s really the whole game when it comes to this. aim to publish around 10 high quality books and you can potentially be in the range where this turns into four even five figures a month. One of our students, Lan, started this completely from scratch. Never had any prior experience in the KDP space. She launched a few books. It took a while for it to rank, but over time it turned around. Eventually, it got to $10,000 a month ever since. So, in her words, she says KDP compounds like investing. So, the publishers who went at this long term aren’t chasing this one magic book or one magic niche, right? They’re the ones who keep publishing and let the catalog stack up over time. So, if you’re a long-term investor, if you do investing, you understand that if you put money into index funds and if you just wait for a long time, there’s a very low chance of you actually losing money. I kind of see publishing very similarly because if you rank the book on Amazon, right, you now have digital real estate, that specific real estate on Amazon for life until Amazon shuts down, which honestly if Amazon shuts down, the world’s probably ending, you know, so it’s probably not going to happen for a very long time. So yeah, it’s a very long-term business. It’s a very lazy business over the long term because again, there are so many books that I published and I’ve never touched it in years. Never thought about it. Not even a second have I thought about that book in years. and every single month I still get paid from those books. So that is in my opinion the laziest way I found to make real money with AI right now. But watching a video and actually doing it are two very different things. So if you want to skip the trial and error and have someone who’ve actually done this and is making a lot of money doing it themselves to look at your niche, your book, and your cover and tell you exactly what to fix. That’s what my team does inside Road to Hero. Road to Hero is my mentorship program for Amazon KDP. You get a ton of one-on-one coaching from coaches who are verified to have earned over $10,000 in a single month doing this themselves. Over 2,300 publishers have gone through it with a 4.8 average rating on Trustpilot. So, if you’re interested, book a free discovery call with the team. It’s 30 minutes. You walk away with a personal plan for your KDP business whether you join or not. And there is a bonus just for showing up. So, the people who make this actually work, the one who is succeeding in this right now, they aren’t smarter than you. They just stopped guessing and they got a real plan that they can follow.

I appreciate every single one. If you have any questions, let me know in the comments. I try to answer as much as possible. With that being said, thank you so much for watching and I’ll see you in the next

The laziest way to make money with AI right now only takes me about two to three hours a week to make five figures every single month. If you’re new to the channel, my name is Sean and I’ve tried a bunch of different businesses over the years and I made millions of dollars doing so. And after 10 years of doing this, I’ve realized there are basically two types of businesses out there. The first type can make you a lot of money, but you have to work non-stop. You’re always active, always working, always putting out fires. Then there’s the semi-passive one. Once you build it up, it runs pretty much on its own and takes only a few hours a week to maintain. And even with that semi-passive model, you can still make a lot of money. Like I’m making five figures a month. I got students in my private community making four, five, even six figures in a month. So, if you love to work non-stop, if that’s your thing, you can definitely build the first type of business. But if you’d rather enjoy life while making money, the second one is what you want. And AI just made it 10 times easier than it used to be. Before we move forward though, quick heads up that obviously this is not financial advice and results aren’t guaranteed. In this video, I may talk about my own results as well as my students results, but that is definitely not me guaranteeing that you’ll achieve the same results because this is a real business, not a get-rich quick scheme. So, it takes work, effort. You have to invest into this. But if you’re willing to actually do the work, this is in my opinion the easiest way to make money online that I’ve found so far. So, let me first explain the reason why this is the laziest way to make money and everything else is not. So there are many different business models out there. If you would categorize these businesses into how it works, you come down to four different options. Option number one is selling services. So these are freelancing, coaching, consulting. Yes, you can make money without a lot of upfront capital, but the second you stop working, you stop getting paid. So the way I look at service-based business is that it’s great. I’m not denying that. But it’s kind of like just working a job that you do online. And because you have to constantly show up and constantly provide the service, it’s the opposite of the lazy way of making money. Option number two is selling physical products, things like drop shipping and e-commerce. This also works well. A lot of people are successful in it. But I don’t think this is the most beginner friendly. I don’t think this is the laziest way because now you got inventory or suppliers to deal with. Plus, you got a lot of ads that you have to run. You got customer service every time something goes wrong. And that is a lot to manage. Option number three is selling digital products on your own platform like Gumroad, Etsy, or your own Shopify store. This is way better than the first two options because there’s no inventory, no shipping because you’re dealing with digital products. So, I like this a lot better, but there are still some downsides to it. You’re still responsible for driving the traffic because you’re trying to sell on your own website that has no existing traffic. You also have to build the audience yourself and if something breaks, you’re the one to handle customer service and other logistical issues. So, you’re still doing a lot of the work yourself. So even though it’s less work because you’re selling digital products than other businesses, you’re still doing a good amount of work yourself. Then there’s option four, selling digital products on Amazon. And more specifically, I’m talking about selling digital books on Amazon’s self-publishing platform called KDP. KDP stands for Kindle Direct Publishing. And once again, this is Amazon’s self-publishing platform where anyone can upload a book file and Amazon will print it into an actual physical book or sell it as a digital copy and they pay you for it. You just upload a PDF copy to Amazon. Amazon puts it on their store and when someone buys, Amazon takes care of everything. They handle the printing, the shipping, even the refunds and customer support. They do all of that for you and your only job is to make the book and hit upload. That’s why, in my opinion, if we’re talking about the most passive way to make money online, I think this model wins because Amazon already has millions of customers ready to buy. They are the biggest online retail store in the whole world. So, if you’re going to sell your product, if you’re going to piggy back off of existing traffic, Amazon is by far the biggest and you want to be on Amazon. You don’t have to build a huge social following to start because Amazon brings all the traffic to you. And on top of that, AI just made the entire book creation process way faster, way cheaper than it’s ever been. So, here’s the four-step process that I use. Step number one is picking your niche. A niche just means a topic of your book. And when it comes to KDP, there are honestly a ton of options. There’s so many different genres you can publish in like kids story books, coloring books, activity books, journals, trivia books, puzzle books, lowc content books, even non-fiction books or fiction books. Every one of these is selling on Amazon right now. The big mistake I see beginners make is spending weeks trying to figure out the perfect niche. That’s not really risk management. It’s not really trying to be perfect. It’s literally just procrastination. You know, getting ideas of what books you’re about to publish is easy. It’s fun. Like the learning phase, the research phase, that’s always fun. But you don’t make money in the learning and research phase. You make money by actually publishing the book, getting it out there, right? Selling your products. But since people are scared of actually taking action, they mask that by staying in the research phase permanently. So the big thing to understand here is that there is no perfect niche. There are a lot of great niches out there, but nothing is perfect. Okay? So just pick one that looks good and you want to move forward. So what I personally do here is I open up Claude or Trap and I ask it to give me 30 ebook niches with high demand and low competition. Then I actually take those topics onto Amazon and check if there are other books selling on the topic. I run them through co-author.ai’s free Chrome extension to check the real numbers like how much it’s making per day in royalties, how many copies is selling per day. Once again, this is using co-author’s free Chrome extension. It’s 100% free. I’ll leave a link in the description. You just want to install that onto your Chrome and whenever you browse on Amazon, it shows you the best sellers rank, which is Amazon’s data of how well the book is selling and the rough monthly earnings and daily sales on any book that you’re looking at. So when it comes to the bestsellers rank, the lower the number, the more copies the book is selling. So this way instead of guessing whether a niche is profitable or not, you’re looking at what similar books are actually earning right now. Again, if you find a lot of books that are doing well using co-authors, you know, extension, you literally see how much money it’s making. If it’s making $500 plus per month, that is enough proof that if you create a similar book like that, there is potential for you to make a similar amount. So this whole process should take a couple hours to max maybe a couple days if you really want to go deep in the research process. But the issue once again as I said earlier people spend weeks if not months just stuck in this process. Just don’t make that mistake. Step number two is writing the actual book. This used to be the hardest part even just a couple years ago. If you wanted to publish a book you either had to write it yourself which takes months or hire a ghostriter which costs anywhere from $1,000 to $2,500 or more. That’s why most people never actually got started because I completely understand risking that much money without knowing if the book is going to sell or not is scary. But the good news is AI changed all of that. So you basically have two options right now. Option one is using generic AI tools like Claude or Chadipid. These tools are pretty good at writing but there is a catch. You do have to know how a book is actually put together and you have to prompt it correctly section by section to get the output that you can actually sell. This whole prompting process, this whole learning how AI communicates, learning how AI thinks is a little bit of learning curve, but if you have a good understanding of that, you can definitely go with that option. Option number two is using a specialized book creation tool like co-author. This is what I personally use and co-author is built specifically for the Amazon KDP business. So the exact book structure to make it sell is already baked in. It’s already prompted in the back end and it walks you through the research, the outline, the chapters, the book cover, the formatting, the entire process step by step. So, you basically have to follow those steps, fill out a few fields, and it handles the rest. So, since this video is talking about the laziest way to do things, if you truly want the laziest way, then co-author is the way to go because it does most of the hard work for you. I do want to clarify that co-author Chrome extension the research features is free. But if you want the step-by-step bookw writing process, then that comes with the paid subscription. Just wanted to be upfront there. So, both options work. If you like learning the process and you have time to figure out the prompting, generic AI is fine. But if you just want the book done fast, that’s when co-author makes sense to use. All right, step number three is uploading your book on Amazon. This is a pretty easy step. You just go to kdp.amazon.com. You sign up for a free account. Just fill in your basic information. It’s the same process as signing up for any other website. You want to link your bank account so you can get paid. You want to fill out the tax form and you’re all good to go. So from here, you want to upload the book, right? Fill in the title, the description, the keywords, and you upload the manuscript that you wrote, the cover file that you created, and that is it. The whole thing takes maybe 10 to 30 minutes per book. Then Amazon takes 72 hours or so to review it and put it live on the store. Once it’s live, you’re officially a published author. You can start bragging in family dinners and whatnot. But besides that, Amazon will start showing your book in search results so people can actually look it up and buy it. If someone buys it, then Amazon will pay you for it. And all you did here was upload a file. So that is how simple this is. But there’s one more thing that you have to do if you wanted to actually sell. And that is step number four. Getting reviews. Now getting reviews is the hardest part of self-publishing. Everyone knows that if you have three reviews and the book next to yours has 50 reviews, if you got the same product, if you got similar books that are offering the same thing, most likely the buyer would choose the one with more reviews. Now, there are many ways to stand out and sell your books, even if you have way less reviews. And I talk about that often in my channel or in my community, but getting reviews is still very important. So, there are a few ways to get reviews. You can build up your own audience on social media or an email list and give out free copies in exchange for honest reviews. That is one way of doing so is 100% allowed by Amazon. And this works, but it takes a long time. Building up your audience. It’s not easy, right? It can take months, sometimes years to build up an audience big enough to actually see real results. Another option is to post in Facebook groups and forums asking people to review your book. This also works. It’s 100% free, but it’s very slow and timeconuming. Or you can use option number three here, which is using a service called Book Reverb. So, Book Reverb is by far the fastest way and the laziest way that I found to get consistent reviews on Amazon. The way it works is super simple. Book Reverb has an email list with tens of thousands, probably hundreds of thousands of real readers at this point, all from different demographics, all interested in different book topics, and you upload your book onto Book Reverb. You set a bid for how much you’re willing to pay per review. And Book Reverb will take that and start showing your book to their audience. Very quickly, you will have readers start reading your book and leaving reviews on Amazon. So, there are two things worth knowing about Book Reverb before you use it. And the first one is on compliance. It’s important to know that readers are paid to read the book, not to leave a review. They get paid the same amount whether they review or not. And they’re never required to leave a positive review. So, that’s what keeps it inside Amazon’s guidelines. I’ve been using this personally for a very long time, and a lot of my students use it too with no issues. The second thing to know is on pacing. So, you don’t want to try to get a 100 reviews in three days. Amazon’s algorithm doesn’t like that pattern. It’s way too quick. So, you want to aim for something like 10 to 15 reviews a week. That is a natural steady pace that Amazon has no problem with. So, I’ll leave a link to Book Reverb in the description below. Full transparency, that is my affiliate link, so I do get a small commission if you sign up through it. You can use it or not use it, totally up to you. So, that is how you get reviews. is truly the laziest way to get reviews because you literally turn on the campaign on Book Reverb and you just sit back and review starts coming in. Now, let’s talk about what to actually expect from all this. So, after you get the book up on Amazon and you get some reviews, there’s a good chance that the book will sell some copies here and there, as long as you’ve done a good job picking a profitable topic based on other books already selling on it and creating a great book with an attractive title and cover. Of course, I cannot guarantee anything. I hope everyone has the common sense to know that this is a real business. Nothing is guaranteed, right? I’ve been doing this for 10 years now and I’ve coached literal thousands of students in my community. I published a lot of books myself and this is typically what we see because Amazon is so big, right? Amazon again is by far the biggest online retail store in the whole world. We got millions of people searching for books to buy on Amazon every single day. So just by being on Amazon and just uploading and waiting, there’s a good chance that you’re going to sell some copies here and there. However, very important to understand that selling some copies here and there organically, which each sale is going to be a couple bucks. So it’s about like two to four bucks each sale. So that’s great making that once in a while here and there, but we all know that’s not going to make you 5K a month, 10K a month or more, which making that amount is possible. We got a lot of students making that amount. Some even made over $100,000 in a single month. But you don’t get there just by stacking this couple sales here and there by uploading and forgetting. You should supplement with your own marketing if you want to scale further. It’s very similar to the concept of exercising or trying to get fit. Right? If you go from like never exercising to just doing whatever, like even jogging or basic push-ups, even if the exercise is not effective, going from zero to something will get you some results. But if you want to go from like kind of ripped to like jacked, then obviously you have to improve your process. You have to learn the actual science of building muscle, you have to do more like optimize your dieting. So it’s one of those things where what takes you from here to here is not the same as what takes you from here to here. So it just depends on what you want. Anyways, many ways to scale, many ways to market your book. The two best way is running Amazon ads and doing social media marketing. I have tutorials on how to do both on my channel. If you do all the steps required, if you optimize the process and scale this business, I want to show you what’s possible by sharing some of our student results. So, we have one of our students, Toby. He has a health problem and he can only work a couple hours a day. In one of the summer, he put in only 13 hours total because he just couldn’t work because of medical issues, right? And he still made over $5,000 in profit. So, that shows how passive this can get. And that is because Toby built it up to that point, right? So even if he worked less, the income maintained because he already did all the work up front. So that shows how passive this business is. But on a separate occasion, Toby made over $100,000 in a single month, he did it twice, actually. Absolute beast. And I actually have an interview with Toby on my channel. So if you want to check it out, I’ll leave a link to this video. So something I really want to talk about here is that I know that the title of the video is the laziest way to make money with AI. And you know, because it’s titled the laziest way, it’s probably going to attract a lot of people who wants to make a ton of money without doing any work, right? Like truly lazy people. And although Amazon KDP, in my opinion, is the most semi-passive business that I know of, right? So, it kind of caters to that lazy, you know, seeking crowd, it still is a real business. It still requires work that you have to build up to that, right? Nobody uploads one book and just wakes up rich. That’s not how KDP works. And honestly, it’s not how any real business works. So, in terms of what is realistic, a solid book might make you somewhere around 500 bucks a month on its own. That is nice, but it’s not life-changing, right? But then you publish a second one. Then you publish a third book. Then the books you already have keep selling while the new ones ranks and it’s going to stack up to the income and over time your income just grows. So that’s the compounding part. That’s cool. And it’s really the whole game when it comes to this. aim to publish around 10 high quality books and you can potentially be in the range where this turns into four even five figures a month. One of our students, Lanned completely from scratch, never had any prior experience in the KDP space. She launched a few books. It took a while for it to rank, but over time it turned around. Eventually, it got to $10,000 a month ever since. So, in her words, she says KDP compounds like investing. So, the publishers who went at this long term aren’t chasing this one magic book or one magic niche, right? They’re the ones who keep publishing and let the catalog stack up over time. So, if you’re a long-term investor, if you do investing, you understand that if you put money into index funds and if you just wait for a long time, there’s a very low chance of you actually losing money. I kind of see publishing very similarly because if you rank the book on Amazon, right, you now have digital real estate, that specific real estate on Amazon for life until Amazon shuts down, which honestly if Amazon shuts down, the world’s probably ending, you know, so it’s probably not going to happen for a very long time. So yeah, it’s a very long-term business. It’s a very lazy business over the long term because again, there are so many books that I published and I’ve never touched it in years. Never thought about it. Not even a second have I thought about that book in years. and every single month I still get paid from those books. So that is in my opinion the laziest way I’ve found to make real money with AI right now. But watching a video and actually doing it are two very different things. So if you want to skip the trial and error and have someone who’ve actually done this and is making a lot of money doing it themselves to look at your niche, your book, and your cover and tell you exactly what to fix. That’s what my team does inside Road to Hero. Road to Hero is my mentorship program for Amazon KDP. You get a ton of one-on-one coaching from coaches who are verified to have earned over $10,000 in a single month doing this themselves. Over 2,300 publishers have gone through it with a 4.8 average rating on Trustpilot. So, if you’re interested, book a free discovery call with the team. It’s 30 minutes. You walk away with a personal plan for your KDP business whether you join or not. And there is a bonus just for showing up. So, the people who make this actually work, the one who is succeeding in this right now, they aren’t smarter than you. They just stopped guessing and they got a real plan that they can follow.

In this video, I’ll walk you through five digital products I will personally start with if I lose everything today and have to start over from zero. I’ll break down why you should create, where to sell it, and why each one is a smart move. If you’re new to the channel, my name is Sean. I used to be a broke guy trying to make money online. failed in a bunch of different businesses, then I found the digital product business model, and that’s the first thing that actually worked for me. made my first dollar online, then I hit 10K per month, then I hit hundreds of thousands of dollars per month, eventually made millions of dollars from selling digital products. So, if I were lose everything today and have to start over from zero, these are the five products that I would get started with. Now, a quick disclaimer before we jump into the rest of the video. Most people who start a business fail, and that’s completely normal. And although selling digital products is an amazing business model, it’s still a real business, which means it can absolutely fail if you approach it the wrong way. And that’s exactly why I make these videos, to give you a higher chance of success and help you avoid the common mistakes most people make when they get started. And for those who want even more guidance, that’s why we have our mentorship program where we go even further and help guide you step-by-step throughout the entire process to give you the best chance to succeed. You can click the link in the description and the pin comment below to learn more about that. But with that being said, let’s jump into the video. So, let’s talk about the first digital product I will look at if I were starting from zero, and this is definitely not the fanciest option. It’s simply one of the easiest ways to turn what you already know into something people can pay for. And that’s why digital product number one is a mini course. Now, as I mentioned earlier, I run a full course plus coaching program with the one-on-one calls and live support. So, it’s definitely not a mini course. This is a full-blown coaching mentorship program, right, with a lot of hand-holding, a lot of active stuff going on. So, that takes a lot of time, but you can start way smaller than that. You don’t have to offer the same thing that I’m offering, right? So, you just record a set of videos, you upload them to a course platform, and you can let the platform handle the payments and delivery for you. As an example, here’s a platform a lot of people use to host their courses. You can upload video lessons, PDFs, quizzes, and much more. And students either pay once for lifetime access or pay monthly, which you can charge a subscription for. The platform handles the payments, the hosting, and the students, and all you have to do is teach, basically creating these mini lessons. Here’s a real example of someone else doing that. So, it’s called the complete freelance writing course. This brand has 18 courses all around freelance writing. They cover smaller topics, too, like nonfiction writing and beginner to advanced lessons. And here’s the cool part. These were recorded once. Unlike YouTube videos, you don’t have to keep recording them over and over. Technically, with YouTube videos, yes, you record one video just once, right? But what I mean by that is like, you know, you have to keep posting content to stay on the YouTube algorithm’s good side, right? Or else your channel just slowly dies. So, you know, everyone talks about the YouTube hamster wheel. Well, that’s what I’m talking about here. So, this example course sells for $9.99, and you can see it has over 8,200 students enrolled. So, that’s over $80,000 in sale from just one course. Now, just keep in mind, these numbers are estimates, obviously, and you know, it’s revenue, not profit. But for selling a $10 course, that’s still pretty good. So, here’s what makes a mini course a good option for beginner. So, first, you can sell what you already know, right? If you can explain a skill in a clear and simple way, you can turn that knowledge into a course. And with platforms like Udemy, you don’t have to build your own website or figure out payments and student access yourself, because Udemy handles a lot of the tech side, the back-end stuff. So, you can just focus on teaching something useful. And because this is a mini course that you’re probably going to be selling it for 10 to 20 bucks, there’s not a lot of pressure in terms of, you know, making a super good product, right? Of course, you should try to make it as good as possible, but it’s 10 20 bucks. I mean, if people complain that it’s not good after paying 10 20 bucks, I mean, that’s probably not your ideal customer. But also, you can just give them the refund and just move on. The second pro here is Udemy already has people searching for courses. So, you can pick up organic sales on Udemy itself. So, you don’t need a big audience to get started here. If someone is searching for a topic, your course has a chance to show up in front of them and make sales without you doing anything. Now, you still need a clear title, because that means you need to SEO optimize your course title, the metadata, those kind of things. You have to do the Udemy SEO, but it’s not that hard, right? You just find what people are searching for and then create a course on that. So, you need a good title, a good thumbnail, and lessons that actually help people, but you can piggyback off of Udemy traffic, which is a pro. The downside here is that it takes time, right? You need to record the lessons, organize the content, and make the course easy to follow. As an example, my course, Road to Hero, once again, it’s a course and coaching hybrid, but it has basically a complete video course in there. And guess how long that took? That took 5 months for version one, just to get it out. When I got started, I thought I could make a course in a month. I’m like, it’s probably going to take a month, but it ended up taking 5 months. And then from there, I had to update the course four times because information gets outdated, and every single time it took 3 months of my life dedicated to just doing that. So, that is 15 months, over a year of my life just doing the course. Now, of course, I’m not selling a mini course. I’m doing a full-blown coaching program, you know, a lot of stuff going in. I wanted to make this the best freaking course in the whole planet, which I think I did that because, you know, we’re getting a lot of good Trustpilot reviews. Like, we have hundreds of Trustpilot reviews with over 4.8 average rating, right? So, obviously, that takes way longer than a mini course, but just to paint you a picture, it’s probably going to take a lot longer than what you expect. Also, if you don’t like being on camera or you need quick money, this probably isn’t the best option for you. But, if you enjoy teaching and you can stay consistent, this can become a solid digital product that keeps building over time. All right, digital product number two is nonfiction ebooks. So, the second digital product here is the one I personally like the most, and this is probably what I would personally get started with out of all the five options if I lose everything and I have to start building from zero. So, when I say nonfiction ebooks, I’m talking about publishing ebooks on Amazon by using a platform called Amazon KDP. This is Amazon’s free platform where you can publish your own book and sell it as an ebook, paperback, hardback, even audiobook. And this is actually the first digital product that worked for me after failing for four straight years, right? I was working a 9-5 job. I was trying to make money online. I kept failing and failing and failing in different business models until I found book publishing on Amazon. That’s when I made my first dollar, then I made 10K per month, quit my job. I went on to make millions of dollars from doing that actual business. Then I expanded into other stuff like YouTube, coaching program, but I still do this book publishing business to this day. So again, personally, I made millions of dollars doing this. Results vary, of course, but I got many students who made four, five, six figures, even seven figures, right? Total. I have a lot of friends doing it. So it’s definitely possible. And here’s what most people do not get when I say book publishing on Amazon. You don’t need to be a writer, and you don’t need to overcomplicate this because it’s very similar to selling mini courses on Udemy. You just have to identify what problems people have, what are the search terms people are searching for on Amazon, and then you create a simple book that solves a problem and you rank it so that it shows up in front of them. You can use AI to build the outline and expand each chapter. You can also hire a ghostwriter if you want to completely outsource the book writing process, but nowadays, you can kind of do a lot of things with AI. So here’s an example of an ebook on Amazon. Look at the title and who it’s for. It’s focused on one clear outcome, right? Speaking better Spanish fast using daily phrases in real conversations. This is why ebooks still work so well because people don’t want a 300-page textbook. This is a very simple how-to book based on the knowledge that the author already had. The author is not like a professional writer or anything. She was just a Spanish coach, right? She actually coaches people on how to speak Spanish, and she just transferred her knowledge into a simple book, published it, now it’s blowing up, she’s making a killing with this book. So people want a short guide that gets them results fast. So if you can pick one topic and teach it clearly, you can turn it into a simple ebook. Make sure to keep it focused, keep it practical, make the promise very clear in 5 seconds in your book title, and you’ll be on the right track. The cool thing about publishing ebooks through Amazon KDP is that the same book can also sell as a physical copy or even audio as I mentioned. So, Amazon does this with the print-on-demand model. That means Amazon only prints the book after someone orders it. So, you don’t have to buy inventory up front risking your own money, right? You don’t have to store boxes of books like people do with physical products. A lot of people order a bunch of books and it’s in their garage just sitting, right? That kind of sucks to be honest and you don’t have to do that with a digital product business or a print-on-demand business. So, right now the same book on the paperback version is making 12 to 21,000 dollars per month in revenue, which is amazing, right? Just from the paperback, not counting the other formats. If you add that, it’s a lot more. By the way, if you’re wondering how I’m seeing this number, I have a free plugin called coauthor.ai. So, it’s a completely free plugin. You can look it up on the Google Chrome Store. But once you download it, you can see exactly how many daily sales a book is making, how many royalties per day, how many royalties per month, those kind of information right on the product page for every single book on Amazon. I’ll leave a link in the description if you want to check it out. And since you already have the ebook file, turning it into an audiobook is very easy as well. So, this is how you can take one product or one book and create multiple income streams. So, let’s talk about the pros and cons. For pro, AI can make the process a lot faster, right? You can use it to create an outline, organize your ideas, or help with a rough first draft. You still want to add your own touch, right? We don’t want to just publish AI books. We want to create great books using the help of AI. But AI definitely speeds up the process a lot. Another great thing about ebooks is that you can turn one book into multiple formats as we talked about many, many times and that’s just going to add to your overall income. So, this can be a great beginner product if you can teach one specific results in a clear way. Now, the biggest benefit here that we haven’t touched on is that Amazon can help with the selling, printing, and delivery side, right? Just like how you can tap into like, you know, organic traffic that you have on Udemy, you can tap into Amazon and Amazon has way more customers than Udemy. Amazon is the biggest online store in the whole world. So, being able to tap into people who are searching for things on Amazon and make organic sales that way is just huge. In terms of the cons, one of the most common thing that people complain about is that it’s under Amazon, so Amazon can shut you down anytime. However, that’s actually not true, right? If you don’t follow the rules because you are publishing books under Amazon, if you don’t follow their terms and guidelines, yes, they will shut you down. But it’s not them shutting you down anytime for no reason. People love to complain, but that’s not the case. People who are getting shut down is because they broke the rules for the most part, right? It’s very similar to doing YouTube. If I stop following the YouTube policy and start saying some wild stuff in my videos, I guarantee I’ll lose my channel. So, you know, whatever platform you’re in, same as Udemy, you know? You just have to make sure you read the terms and conditions, understand the rules, and follow it. So, thanks to AI, writing a book is way more doable for beginners now. But with generic AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, it’s still not the easiest to create a high-quality book. Yes, you can write a book with those softwares, but creating a random book and creating a high-quality book that people actually enjoy is a completely different story. And this is exactly why I built coauthor.ai. It’s my AI book-writing software made specifically to create high-quality books. We’re not just selling ChatGPT here with a new label. Co-author is built for real publishers, and it takes you from a rough idea to a full, well-structured book way faster without the fluff and repeating content that most AI tools will give you. Inside Co-author, you can build detailed outlines, write chapter by chapter with real structure, strengthen your hooks, make your book clear and more helpful, generate the book cover for you, do the book research for you, even create super cool book trailers, and much, much more. So, if you want a complete tool for your self-publishing business, the link to Co-author is in the description below. So, publishing non-fiction books on Amazon is great for beginners. That’s what I personally would recommend. But if you’re more of a creative person, the next digital product might be a better fit for you because it’s more focused on designs instead of writing text. And that’s digital product number three, selling activity books. So, activity books are things like word searches, Sudoku, puzzle books, coloring books, mazes, and more. Basically simple books where the customer fills something in on every page. And here’s the best part, just like ebooks, you can publish these as real paperback books on Amazon KDP. You create the pages and the book cover, you upload the PDF file, and Amazon will print it out as a book with the print-on-demand model. So instead of writing a full book like you would with non-fiction with a lot of text, if English is not your first language or if you don’t want to deal with that, instead you’re making a fun or a useful book around a very simple activity. So this makes a great pick for beginners who are more creative or who just doesn’t want to make a traditional book. So this is a word search puzzle book like the one you used to see in newspapers, but this is a paperback book with over 100 puzzles inside. And based on co-author, once again, this is a free Chrome extension, it’s doing between 13 to 22,000 dollars per month, hundreds of dollars per day in royalties. So that’s just one example, that was a word search, but if you have basic drawing skills, coloring books are also blowing up right now. And the most popular coloring book designs or the categories are bold, simple designs made for kids. So this is a coloring book example, very simple illustrations, not a ton of reviews, and it’s still doing 1.6 to 2.6 thousand dollars per month in royalties. So here’s what you need to know about activity books. First, you don’t need advanced writing skills. There are tools online that can help you create things like word search, Sudoku, puzzle books, and more. So you choose a type of activity, you want to customize a layout, export the pages, and this whole process is usually a lot faster than writing a full non-fiction book. And that’s why a lot of beginners gravitate towards this because it’s a little bit easier for them. You know, doing something easy, picking the lowest hanging fruit, or going, you know, the the least friction path is not always a good thing because that means everyone else is doing the same thing. But if you want to get started with something easy, this is also a good option. The second reason is you don’t have to be a professional artist even if you’re creating coloring books, right? Because these illustrations are extremely simple. You just want clean lines, clear shapes, and a good theme that can work well. It’s all about coming up with a cool coloring book idea. Now, Co-author at the moment does not have a puzzle book generation feature, but we are working on it. It’s in beta right now, so it’s going to be coming out very, very soon. So, soon with Co-author you can create, you know, activity books like these. All right, digital product number four, moving away from the book category and we’re talking affiliate products. So, with affiliate marketing, you don’t create the product at all. You promote someone else’s product and you earn a commission on every sale. So, I do this on my own YouTube channel. I recommend tools that I actually use and I earn a percentage when someone buys through my link. So, if you look at the description section of any of my YouTube videos, you can see that I got a good amount of links and these are all either my products or affiliate links, right? So, Co-author Road to Hero, so these are my products, but, you know, the other stuff are usually affiliate links. So, obviously, you don’t want to push random products just to earn a commission. It is highly recommended to share what works and what you personally use and recommend, okay? So, if someone uses my link to purchase that product, then I earn a percentage as commission. So, it’s a pretty honest way to earn and it really adds up once you get steady traffic coming in. However, I want to give you a reality check here. If you’re just posting links on social media and trying to make money from affiliate products, realistically, you can do a couple thousand dollars a month in commission, but it’s probably not going to be tens of thousands of dollars per month. I’ll be pretty impressed if someone out there is making tens of thousands dollars per month from just affiliate products by posting on YouTube or other social media platform. Typically, if you want to get into like tens of thousands, you have to sell your own products and that’s why if you want to make the big bucks, I recommend you do, you know, like book publishing or something like that because those are your own products. But, if you just want to do like a side income, you know, posting content on YouTube once in a while and make a couple thousand dollars per month, then affiliate products is a good option. All right, pros and cons. Pros, you don’t create the product yourself. You promote products that already exist. That means there’s no writing, no designing, and no fulfillment. You just need traffic and to gain trust, which is by creating good content on social media. If people believe your recommendation, they might buy through your link and you can earn a commission. The downside is that you don’t own the product, right? So, the company can change the commission rate, remove the product, or shut down the affiliate program, which is very annoying when that happens. You spend a long time making content and you start getting paid and all of a sudden they change the affiliate program or they just shut it down and you have this content that’s selling the product still for them, but now you’re not getting paid. Super annoying stuff, but it happens. And that’s why, you know, if you want a full control, you should have your own product rather than an affiliate product, rather than just doing affiliate marketing. But again, it’s pros and cons. Lastly, you need traffic. Affiliate marketing works best when people already see your content and trust your recommendations. If you don’t have an audience, it’s extremely hard or basically impossible to do affiliate marketing. So, you have to build an audience first on social media, do something. If you don’t have an audience and you want to start making money, again, creating a very quick product and selling it on sites that you can leverage traffic like Amazon would make more sense. All right, last one. Digital product number five is niche AI tool or a custom GPT. So, for this one, I’m not talking about building a software company from scratch. I’m talking about creating a custom GPT or a lightweight AI-powered product that solves one specific problem for one specific group of people and you’re charging for access. The technical barrier to doing this is getting lower now because obviously AI’s, you know, really opening up the playing field for a lot of people, but you can use OpenAI’s GPT builder, Poe, other no-code platforms. You don’t need to write a single line of code. What you do need is a clear understanding of a real pain point that you can solve and then really kind of the understanding of how it works layout-wise, UI-wise, or user interface-wise as a software. So, you do have to understand that even if you don’t know how to code. So, I personally built coauthor.ai because I spent 10 years watching authors make the same mistake over and over. And also because publishing books were very expensive, right? We were already publishing books on Amazon, but we had to hire ghostwriters, you know, that was like a thousand, two thousand dollars per book. And then you had to hire a cover designer and then, you know, pay somebody for formatting, for book descriptions, everything. So, people are paying thousands of dollars to create a book and you don’t even know if you’re going to recoup the money, right? So, I wanted to make book publishing more accessible for everyone. And now Co-author replaces all of that. You don’t need to hire ghostwriters, you don’t need to hire cover designers. You can format right within Co-author, you can do description in Co-author. You can do everything you need in the publishing business with just a low monthly subscription. So, I already had my problem that I wanted to solve. And you just have to identify what your problem is that you want to solve in whatever space you’re in. So, the people who do this well find a task that a specific group repeats all the time. And they make that task faster or easier. A research tool for publishers, a script tool for real estate agents, a simple system for coaches, whatever that is, you find the boring repeated task that people do over and over and people complain over and over about and then you build the tool around it. So, this one has the highest income potential out of all the list. It’s also subscription based, so people keep paying every month. You don’t have a platform that takes a huge cut. There’s no printing and no inventory. And if you build something people use every week, they tend to stick around and the income keeps adding up, which is nice. So, it seems like this is the one that you should go with. However, obviously everything has pros and cons. So, the reason why this is number five is, you know, very simple. If you’re starting completely from zero, you probably don’t know a niche well enough to solve whatever problem that it has. You get that experience and information from real time spent inside a market. So, what I recommend is you do other stuff on this list, right? Sell the books, sell the mini courses, whatever you want to do and gain experience in whatever you space you’re in. Then once you spend enough time in your niche, you will start seeing problems that you can solve in a different form, which is going to be in a software form. So, that’s one reason. Another reason is simply put, creating a software is going to be the most time consuming and also the most expensive to get started out of this list. So, I still put it as one of the five, but I think it’s the least beginner-friendly option here. All right, so the big question here, what is the best digital product? Obviously, there’s no perfect answer. It really depends on your skills, your time, how much time you have to invest, right? What type of work fits your personality and so much more. But, if you ask me, what is the best digital product to get started as a complete beginner, just because I was a complete beginner, broke, not a lot of time, and this is what I’ve done to start making money and completely changed my life. That’s why I would recommend publishing books as the best option. And not just because it worked for me, if you think about it logically, it makes a lot of sense for a beginner, right? An ebook is super simple. You pick one problem, you write about it, you package it up into an attractive book, put it up on Amazon, leverage Amazon, and that book will be on Amazon and can sell while you sleep. It’s very passive, right? You do the work once, you write it once, and it can keep selling for a long time as long as you chose a good topic that people are actually searching for. You don’t have to deal with inventory, you don’t have to shipping, you don’t need a big audience to get started. And that’s why it’s super beginner-friendly. It kind of checks all the boxes. So, if you want to learn more about book publishing as a business model, if you want to take it seriously, consider joining our mentorship program. It is specifically for people who want to build a true lifestyle business that can grow into a semi-passive income stream over time. Authors already publishing who are frustrated with low sales and you want proper positioning and strategy guidance.

Or individuals ready to treat publishing like a real business, not a hobby, and you want to move quick and really shortcut the process. This is a paid mentorship. It requires commitment, capital, and execution. We don’t work with everyone because again, this is not just a course. We’re going to be working with you one-on-one, so we don’t want to work with people that are, you know, doesn’t have a great personality and all that. So, you do have to book a 30-minute discovery call to see if this program is a good fit for you.

I’m about to give you five ebook ideas you can create with AI in under 48 hours. Every single one of these has actual demand and people are actively buying it right now. I’ve been self-publishing books for over 9 years. I’ve made millions of dollars selling ebooks and some of my best performers came from simple ideas exactly like the ones on this list. These are ideas that most people scroll right past because it looks too easy. But sometimes the simple ones, the boring ones are the ones that makes you a lot of money. Before we start though, I just want to give you a quick disclaimer that as with any real businesses out there, there are no guarantees in terms of how much you will make if you go into these niches because this is not a get-rich quick thing, right? This is a real business. AI makes the book creation part really easy, really fast, but you still have to pick a good topic. You still have to make a good book cover. You got to launch it properly. I don’t know if you’re going to do all those other stuff correctly. And for that reason, I can’t guarantee that you’re going to make a specific amount, but what I can tell you is that these are actual good niches. So, if you do go into it and do all the other steps properly, which you can just learn from my other videos, I’m pretty confident that you’ll start seeing some results. So, if you’ve been wanting to make money with ebooks, but you keep getting stuck on what to actually create, then this video is for you. Now, before we go into the actual list, I want to show you real book examples from Amazon for each one. Because, as we all know, Amazon controls the majority of book sales worldwide. So, when I show you numbers in this video, like how much a book is making, those are real numbers coming directly from Amazon. So, it’s not just a hypothetical number that I’m making up. With that being said, niche number one is word search books. Now, you could definitely sell this as an ebook on your own website or if you go through Etsy, you can sell as a printable, but a good chunk of money in this niche is made from selling it as a paperback book as well, which you can use Amazon’s free self-publishing platform called KDP, which stands for Kindle Direct Publishing. It actually lets you publish and sell physical printed books without ever touching inventory. This is called print ondemand, which means Amazon only prints and ships the book if you make a sale. So, it’s kind of like digital products and that’s why I’m counting this in, you know, part of the list here. So, you just upload your digital file, someone orders the book, then Amazon prints it and ship it for you and you just collect the royalties. Now, you might be thinking, do people really buy word searches still? And the answer is yes. There’s a lot of word search books selling really well on Amazon. So, you got grandparents buy them. You know, people buy them as gifts or sometimes for themselves. Huge chunk of buyers are older folks who want something to do that doesn’t involve a screen. And that’s actually spreading not just for, you know, older people, but screen-f free activity because everyone’s so addicted to their screens all the time is actually a trending thing. More and more people are trying to have less screen time. This is an example of a book on Amazon. As I promised you earlier, I will back up everything I say with actual real examples of books making money. So, this is a new word search book for adults compilation of 1,000 unique words to search for. And this book is doing $347 to $531 per day in royalties. This is actual royalties that will hit your bank account, not sales, not revenue like drop shipping guys love to do it. This is actual royalties coming from a tool called Book Beam. Bookbeam is a paid tool, but it calculates how many sales a book is making and also how much that equals to in terms of royalties. If you want to check out Book Beam, I’ll leave a link in the description below. This is another book, Word Search Book for Adults, Large Print Puzzle, 2027 edition, even though it’s still August 2026. So, if you’re watching this, you could hop on to the 2027 trend, which is a way to differentiate yourself right now. It’s not too early. So, this book is doing $70 to $91 per day in royalties. So, that’s thousands of dollars per month. So, here’s how you can use AI to create a book like this. So, you ask AI to generate themed word list for you, like 50 words about gardening or 50, you know, words about classic movies, 50 words about road trips, whatever themes you will have inside your book. Then you drop those lists into a puzzle generator and it builds the actual word search puzzles for you. If you’re wondering which puzzle generator, you know, software should you use? Well, there are a bunch of them out there, but the one I personally have experience using myself that I would recommend for you is called Bookbolt. Bookbolt will build the actual puzzles. You can format, you know, the interior pages right within Bookbolt. It’ll get your files ready to upload all in one place. I actually got a full tutorial on exactly how to create puzzle books like this using Bookbolt from start to finish. So, if you’re interested in that, I’ll drop the link to the video in the description below and you can go and follow along. Now, a quick note is I have a AI bookw writing software called co-author.ai. And what I showed you with Bookbeam in terms of seeing the royalties of the book and the puzzle generation feature is coming up very soon with co-author. So, soon you don’t need book beam. Soon you don’t need book bolt. But at the time of filming, those features are not out. So, you know, that’s why I’m recommending those softwares. But maybe by the time this video is live, you can just get co-author, which I know a lot of you watching already have a subscription with co-author. And if so, then I don’t want you spending more money, you know, with other softwares, of course, if you don’t have to. So, I’ll let you know in the comments if you already have those features live or not. So, the entire interior of the book can be done in one afternoon with this method. And day two, you can spend on your book cover and uploading the book. And the buyer base for these books is more varied than a lot of people realize, right? You can do travel themed word search for road trippers. Road trip is a theme that is popping recently. A lot of books on road trips are selling really well nowadays. You can do Bible verse word search which is also a trending topic. You can do hobby specific versions like word search for knitts, word search for gardeners, fishermen, many many angles to take. So the more specific the angle, the easier it is to stand out and the easier it is to charge a few bucks more than the generic ones. It is always better to niche down and be like a very specific book than a generic word search book. And by doing so, you can price it a little bit higher, which means you make more in royalties. So the takeaway on this one, there’s zero actual writing involved. You’re basically just compiling words and generating you know the puzzles. So coming up with a really cool theme like you know again like a fisherman word search or whatever theme and angle and coming up with a really nice looking book cover is how you win in this niche. So you want to spend your time picking an angle nobody else has like word searches for nurses. Nurses is a good niche as well or for fishing dads. So just make sure you got a good angle to stand out and that would be the main thing. All right. Niche number two is inspiring story books for kids. So parents are always hunting for short stories that teach their kids something like courage, kindness, believing in yourself. These stories are short, usually one to 2,000 words, you know, and it’s a compilation of these short stories with illustrations on every page. It doesn’t have to be every page, could be almost every page, but you know, you’re squeezing in illustrations once in a while. So here’s an example book. You’re six and Amazing. Inspiring stories for six-year-old boys. 15 motivating tales about courage, confidence, friendships, and imagination. So again, parents are always trying to teach their kids a lesson, right? So you want to make sure your stories involve these things, but this book is making around $250 to $329 per day. So just this one book is doing 7 to $10,000 per month. This was a Christian themed version of that. So God says you’re a brilliant boy, an inspiring Christian book for kids to boost faith, confidence, and courage. And it’s doing $92 to $111 per day. So, this niche used to be a lot more expensive to create because you had to hire an illustrator, you know, for a lot of your pages that requires illustrations and illustrators aren’t cheap. So, you’re usually spending hundreds of dollars to, you know, have them illustrate the page. Well, now the barrier is gone because AI can create these images real easily and also you can keep the characters consistent across a whole book. So, you can write the entire stories of a book in day one and generate all the illustrations on day two and you have a book. And if you’ve never made a kids book before, I have a full tutorial on how to create story books with AI from start to finish from character creations, illustrations, layout, and the entire process. Once again, I’ll leave a link in the description for that video so you can run through it after this video. So, the best themes to include in your book are the ones that parents are actively searching for. The most popular ones are bedtime stories that help kids settle down, books about a new sibling on the way, stories that takes the dread out of the first day of school, which I can relate to a lot. I hated school. So, you’re solving a real parenting moment, and that’s why this niche is still very popular. So, here’s a takeaway that makes this niche special. You can turn this book into a series. You can create one character that kids love, and then book two and book three can sell even easier than book one ever did because the same parents keep coming back, right? If the kid likes the character, then the parents want to keep buying the same character, right? Cuz the kids are requesting for it. So, this is how you can build a children’s book brand. And the more books you can publish in a series, the more likelihood of selling multiple books to the same customer, which increases how much you can make. All right, niche number three is pet loss and grief books. So, this one surprises a lot of people. It’s a niche that not a lot of people think about, but if you think about it, millions of pets pass away every single year, and the owners are absolutely heartbroken. I am a animal guy myself. I love dogs. I love dogs over cats. So, you know, I’m sorry if you’re a cat person, but I love all animals in general. So, I can absolutely relate to being heartbroken if you lose a pet, right? Because they’re basically a family member. So, friends and family want to do something for them when that happens. And a comfort book or a memory journal is one of the most common gifts they reach for. So, this is an example. Repairing the heartbreak of pet loss grief. So, this is kind of like a a self-help book or how-to book on how to repair the grief, right? And this book is doing $17 per day. So, nothing crazy, but 17 per day. That adds up to around $500 per month, which is still solid. And that’s just for the paperback version. You know, with these type of books, you can sell as an ebook, audio, hard coverver. So, he’s making more than $500 per month. This is an example of another similar type of book. It’s kind of like like a how-to or a self-help book, right? And it’s doing $15 per day as well. And this is the last one. I’m still here, a dog’s purpose forever. So, it’s a little bit more of a illustration style, like a story to ease your grief. And this one’s doing a lot better. So, it’s $127 to $170 per day. So, with AI, you can build the structure of a book in a day. You can create the comfort passages, journaling prompts if you’re doing a journal, which I think is a great idea, by the way. If you’re doing a guided journal to overcome grief of losing, you know, a pet, uh, type of thing, that’s a good niche. Memory pages where the owner writes down their favorite moments with their pet. So, that can be done in a day. And then day two, you can go into the editing phase and creating a book cover. But with that being said, I want to be straight up with you guys. Be completely honest here. This and you know, other niches as well, but especially this niche, you really want to make sure that you’re doing proper editing and, you know, humanizing the content, right? The writing has to feel human. It has to be relatable because someone just lost their pet, right? It’s a big thing for them, you know, for a lot of people. So if you just like, you know, whip up a purely AI written book and copy paste, copy paste everything from AI, put it out on Amazon, people can instantly tell that it’s AI, that it’s lacking authenticity, it’s not relatable at all and it’s just it sucks, right? Because you’re hurt and now you just bought a book that’s like a crappy 100% AI written book. So even though the title of this video is niches that you can create very quickly with AI and I love AI, I use AI very often in my business. I’m a huge advocate of using AI, but I’m not an advocate of just pumping out crappy AI books, right? There’s a big difference here. You can use AI to create amazing books. If you use AI properly, you can have it create the content for you, but then you go and edit it. Make sure you improve the content, humanize it, you know, do proper editing on top of that to make the content yours, not just 100% AI. And it doesn’t matter if you’re doing that for this niche or any other niche that I’m about to talk about or, you know, any niches outside of that. It’s very important to humanize AI content. Make sure that it’s a good book that you’re creating with the help of AI, not just creating a AI book. So, going back to this niche, the format you pick matters more than people think. You can do many options here. A straight comfort book that reads cover to cover like, you know, the ones that I showed you. You can also do like a memory journal where the owner fills in pages about their pet. Some buyers want a children’s version. Some buyers want like a illustrated children’s story book version they can read to a kid who just lost a family pet. And each one is a significantly different book. very different book cover styles, different keyword set, and they don’t really compete with each other. So, technically, you can do all of those ideas and have the buyer, you know, choose which format they want. The takeaway here is that this niche has the deepest buyer connection of anything on this list. So, when your book generally helps someone through a hard week, the heartfelt reviews will come in. So, from my experience, a niche like this is a lot easier to get reviews, but that applies to both good and bad reviews, right? So, if you got a good book, it’s a lot easier and faster to collect reviews. However, if you got a bad book, once again, if you just whip up a super crappy AI generated book, purely AI, then yeah, it’ll be very quick for you to get bad reviews and the book will die. So, just focus on high quality and you should be good to go. And that’s exactly the problem I kept running into with generic AI softwares because those AI tools aren’t made specifically to create highquality books. So, the writing always sounds generic. A lot of errors, a lot of fixing up just to improve the content to the point where I was confident in publishing it. Which is why we built co-author.ai. My AI bookw writing software built specifically for creating highquality books. This is not just chachibi with a fancy label. We’re not just reselling chachibi over here. Co-author is built for serious publishers. It helps you go from an idea to a fully structured highquality manuscript way faster without the fluff, repetition or generic writing that most AI tools produce. Inside co-author, you can generate detailed outlines, write chapter by chapter with guided structure, strengthen your hooks, improve clarity, and make sure your book actually delivers transformation, not just information. It’s designed to help you write better books in a fraction of the time while still keeping your unique voice. So, if you want to publish faster, create higher quality books, and build a real publishing business, the link to co-author is in the description below. All right, niche number four is trivia and fact books. Did you know that trivia books are one of the most gifted book types on Amazon? People grab them for dads, for road trips, for many different occasions. And you can create a trivia book for basically every topic, right? You can do football trivia, history facts for kids, random facts that sounds fake but are actually true. Many different angles you can take. Like this book right here, wombat poop is cube shaped, and 500 plus other crazy but true facts that’ll blow your mind. Yeah, like crazy, right? Like, is it really cube shaped? That sounds crazy. So, this book is doing 48 to $51 per day. So, this one book around $1,500 per month. Another example here, rare and unusual knowledge, extraordinary facts about everyday things. And this book is doing $240 to $343 per day. So just one book doing around $10,000 per month. So AI is scary good at compiling stuff like this really fast. You just pick a theme. They can generate hundreds of questions or facts and organize them into chapters. But you do have to understand that AI will confidently make facts up. So you want to make sure to verify everything before it goes in the book or before you publish it. And that check-in step, right, checking the facts one by one will take up most of your 48 hours on this one because you have to check hundreds of facts, right? So the generating of the fact is super quick. You know, you just ask AI to do that, but you got to go and fact check that. But that is a key differentiator between your book ending up way better than you know the lazy books from lazy publishers not fact-checking and has a bunch of wrong information that’ll get bad reviews compared to yours which will get good reviews. By the way with co-author we do have a fact checker agent that will run through all of your content. So it will go and you know do that for you as well. Although it’s a good practice for you to do it manually as well. So the angles you can take here with trivia are basically endless right? You can do movie trivia for film buffs, state trivia for road trippers, decade specific trivia for someone turning 50 or 60. Like as an example, 1960s trivia, like remember back in the days in 1960s, we did these things, right? 1970s, 1980s. So many ideas you can go into. And every single one of these is its own book with its own buyer as well. So you can hit up different demographic and you can build a whole catalog around the same simple format of trivia once you’ve nailed the first one. In terms of verifying the facts, make sure to run every claim through a second source before it goes into the book. So, check Wikipedia, check official sites, like if it’s a sports fact, news archive for current events. You know, the book that ends up pulling steady reviews is almost always a one where someone took that extra hour validating each fact. Now, the cool thing about trivia books is that these books shoot up in sales during the gift season. At the end of the year, like Q4, it sells really well because a lot of people buy these books as gift. So, because it sells really well during Q4, you want to make sure you publish months ahead of Q4, like around September or October at the latest, and start collecting reviews. So, by the time this video is out, and when you watch it, it’s probably when you want to be acting quick on this niche. All right, niche number five is bold and easy coloring books. Like the word search book earlier, this is a printable book, right? So, it sells primarily in paperback and hard cover. But once again, I treat this kind of like a ebook or kind of like a digital product because, you know, when you go through Amazon KDP, it’s print on demand. You don’t have to deal with any of the physical product based headaches like, you know, printing, inventory, shipping the product, all that. So, if you haven’t seen these books, they’re coloring books with thick lines and big simple designs. Like, these illustrations are super simple and they blew up because they work for seniors who want simple designs. They work for people with lower vision or for anyone who just wants a very simple, relaxing coloring page. They don’t want anything complex, right? They’re just a beginner. They just want to get started. You know, these simple illustrations work very well for them. So, the first example is Cozy Girl Season. So, this is a bold and easy coloring book featuring like Christmas, Halloween. It’s not even Christmas yet. I’m filming this in August. And yet, this book is killing it. It’s doing like 28 to $36 per day in royalties. And I think Janette Veronica comments on, you know, my videos once in a while. So, Janette, if you’re watching this, you’re absolutely crushing it. Huge respect to you. And this is a second book example. So, Big Sister Bold and Easy Coloring Book. That’s what I mean. Like there’s so many new niches that pops up constantly. Big sister, right? Bold and easy. So then, you know, you could do little sister bold and easy coloring book. Pretty confident it’s going to sell. Okay. So this one is doing $35 per day in royalties. And by the way, the big sister coloring book was about like, you know, the big sister being responsible, caring for the little sister, this and that, right? The little sister coloring book should be like, you know, the little sister like making a mess, being a rebel, and then like making trouble because that’s like the stereotype, isn’t it? And the last example here is cozy girl summer vibes coloring book once again from Janette Veronica. Uh she’s absolutely crushing it. $47 to $50 per day. So this is one of the fastest growing niche on this list and that is because it’s getting really easy and quick to go into this niche, right? AI image generation is getting so good to the point where you can generate these pages with AI. You don’t even need illustrators anymore. So you can realistically generate and clean up a full 50 interior pages on day one. you can edit them on day two because sometimes you know AI although it’s getting you know a lot better sometimes there’ll be some errors here and there so you still want to go in Photoshop edit it out right but it’s getting a lot easier once again and this niche is pretty evergreen but it also gets a boost during the holidays so obviously Christmas is huge for this niche Easter and you know spring themes will do really well as well if you got like a summer themed book it does really well during summer so you can plan a whole year of themed releases on your calendar and just basically work the list right so every single month you got a that gets a boost for whatever holiday or whatever you know stuff is happening that month. You can also create unique themes such as cute crime scene, simple stress relief. Each one got a new fresh angle to it and basically you can just come up with a bunch of ideas and have fun in this niche which I like. Keep in mind simplicity is a selling point with this. So you want to read the reviews on competing coloring books. You’ll see buyers complaining, you know, about other ones being way too detailed, too small, like the lines are too small and it’s too stressful for them. So more complex is not always better, right? Especially in this niche. Keep it simple. When you design your book, leave the lines thick. Leave the spaces big. Don’t try to impress anyone with how intricate your designs are because you’re trying to talk to a completely different audience. That’s not the audience you’re selling to. So, this niche rewards whoever moves fast. The trend is hot right now, which means the faster you publish, obviously, you have an advantage, but you don’t want to just publish a generic one, right? You want to create a theme like Bold and Easy Christmas Edition or Bold and Easy Farm Animals. You know, those are actually pretty saturated as well. So, you just want to come up with new angles like the little sister thing that I talked about, right? So, it’s a game of who can come up with new unique angles that people haven’t colored in because no one wants to color in the same designs over and over and over. So, if everyone’s doing like cute animals coloring book, you know, assuming that the the consumers are already tired of coloring in cute animal coloring book, like how many cute animal coloring books can you color in before you get bored and you want to color in new things, right? So, it’s all about coming up with new ideas. So, whichever niche you pick, the idea is honestly the easy part. The part where people mess up is basically everything after this. The keywords to add in your book, the book cover, the launch strategy, getting those first reviews. That’s the stuff that decides if your book makes sales or it just sits

In this video, I’ll show you a brand new free keyword research tool for Amazon KDP that’ll replace a lot of the paid ones. And that is a free Chrome extension by Co-author. Co-author is my software that I’ve developed for Amazon KDP specifically. And my goal is to make this the best Amazon KDP software that is truly all-in-one. So, you really only need this one software to do the entire keyword research as well as creating the book. So, if you’ve been watching my videos for a while, you know that I’ve talked about co-author often, and we obviously have a paid subscription as well if you want other features. But recently, we came up with a 100% free Chrome extension that you can use that’ll help you a lot with keyword research. So, let me show you how that works. First, I’ll leave a link to this page in the description. All you have to do is go here and add it to Chrome and you can start using it. So, once you add it to your extensions list, it’ll show up here. And when you search anything on Amazon, you’ll start seeing this. So what co-author does is it pulls the BSR of the book. BSR is the sales rank that Amazon shows you. But typically you have to open the book on another page, scroll down to see this number. Well, you don’t have to do that. Saves you a lot of time because it’ll show right on the search results here. And based on the BSR, it’ll calculate how many sales it’s making per day. And based on that, as well as the page length, the format, like is it a hard cover, paperback, they will have different profit margins, right? So based on that, it’ll calculate roughly how much it’s making per day. So, as you can see, this book is doing up to $1,000 per day in royalties. The next thing it does is that it also expands the search suggestion here. So, when you type anything here, you will see keywords before, meaning, you know, relevant keywords to what you typed in with variations of having additional words before. So, since I typed in coloring book, it’s giving us like adult coloring book, advanced coloring book, beginner coloring books for toddlers, right? Gives you a lot more ideas. Even gives you the search volume here. We have the keywords after. So, you know, variations of what you typed in, but now we have additional words after the main keyword. And then we have keywords between. So, it just gives you a lot more ideas. Another thing I want to note is that with other softwares, they usually have a limit on how much information you can pull with the free Chrome extensions that they have. But with co-author, we don’t have a limit. So, you can basically, you know, use this unlimited amounts of time. The next thing you can do, in my opinion, is one of the the most powerful feature here is the BSR trend. So this book, Little Spooky, it is obviously a Halloween or kind of a spooky theme. So I can assume that it’s going to get a sales boost during Halloween or October. But instead of guessing now, you can confirm based on data. So you can click on BSR trend here and sort it by 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, and all time. Right? So this book has been around for 2 years, and you can see exactly what months of the year it gets a significant spike in sales. And I was correct. The biggest spike that they had was during October, which makes sense because people buy spooky books leading up to Halloween. Then it dropped a little bit. Then it got a little boost in January. I don’t know why. And then it went up to once again the next year around October, it got a second boost. And now this is the third year approaching October. And sales is climbing again. So this is three years in a row. Every single time that they’re getting a massive sales boost during October. That tells us that if we are going to create a spooky coloring book similar to this, we should probably launch this book 2 months before October because we know that we want to capitalize on October, we want to launch it a little bit earlier and we can start collecting reviews, ranking the book on page one. So typically you do that a few months ahead, right? So you want to launch this maybe August, which means we have to start creating the book maybe July, you know? So that’s kind of how you can calculate and time your launch. But a Halloween coloring book is kind of an obvious example. So let me show you another example here which is a vision board book. So this book has been around for 2 years almost 3 years. If we take a look at the BSR trend as you can see this is a very very clear spike happening in January which makes sense right vision board books typically gets a huge sales spike in January new year new me type of thing. So what does that tell you? If you’re going to create a vision board and if you’re going to launch a vision board book you should probably launch the book around October, November. you definitely don’t want to launch the book in May or something like that. So, this data in my opinion is super useful. Really giving you confirmation on what topic you should go into at what months and timing the launch. You can also use this data to see if the topic is evergreen or if it’s just a trending topic, right? If you see a huge spike in sales at a certain month and then it just dies off, then you know that’s a very very trendheavy keyword. And there are other keywords that are very steady all year round. And if you’re looking for a more steady income, like you want to build a business not chasing trends, but you know, you want to hit up evergreen keywords, then you can get that information this way. By the way, you can open up the book Get to the Product Page, and you will see the exact same information right here. Now, there’s another cool thing you can do here, and that is by clicking on create your competitive edge on this topic. Now, this button is the same if you would click on analyze book. So, whether you click on analyze book from the search results page or this button to the product page, it leads to the same step. But basically what happens if you click on it is that it opens up co-author and co-author will start analyzing this book. It’ll start reading the hundreds of reviews this book has in this case. It’ll start analyzing other books in this niche and it’ll use a framework that we train co-author on to give you different positioning ideas. So you get three different positioning ideas you can regenerate here. But it gives you ideas on how you can create your version of a vision board book so that you can stand out in the market. Right? Because what you don’t want to do is just rip off an existing book and make the exact same thing. What you want to do is to model success, right? You see vision board is working. So you create your own vision board book. So you’re still within the vision board category, but you want to do something a little bit different than your competition. That is how you can stand out and that’s how you can make a lot of money. So the question is how do you come up with these unique ideas on how to position your books? Well, co-author will give you some ideas. So this is what we got. The first idea is just more value. So doing the same thing but offering more. So, this one is 1,200 plus easy to cut single-sided elements. And it explains the thought process here. So, the positioning angle is that most clip art books print double-sided to save on print cost, forcing users to sacrifice one image to cut out another. This book offers 1,200 plus unique single-sided elements. So, every single graphic can be used. And so, it’s offering more value because this book is 600 plus images. We have 1,200 plus images as well. Talks about why it fits the market and what it includes. Gives you ideas on what you should put here. There’s another idea to niche down into a specific audience, which is a very good idea. People already do this in the vision board space, but co-author is giving you that suggestion as well. Is that vision board clip art book with words, quotes, and pictures for men. You can do the same thing with for women, for kids, for seniors, for moms, dads, so many ways. So, since this is for men, it adjusted the subtitle. Manifest success and build your legacy with 800 plus ready to cut masculine style images. I don’t know if you want to put masculine style images maybe, but these are just ideas here. The positioning angle here, the vision board market is heavily saturated with floral feminine coded designs. Men who wants to practice visualizations are left with options that do not match their personal style specific goals. Makes sense. So that’s another way. And in the niche end goal vision board clip art book with words, quotes, and pictures. Manifest financial abundance and career success without lifestyle fluff. So this is a vision board specifically for people who want to manifest money and career success, right? not the other stuff which typically with these vision boards it just gives you a bunch of stuff that you can manifest. So this is more of a focus topic here and from here if you like any of these ideas you can click on start creating this book and it’ll take you to the guided bookflow page. Actually I’ll just show you. So you click on it’ll take you to building your research step and from here you can walk through the guided book flow that we have. Basically just goes step by step and you can go from research all the way to creating the book to description book cover A+ content trailer formatting everything. Now the disclaimer here is that to go through the guided book flow if you want to move forward beyond the differentiation step it will require one book credit and that is not free. You do have to pay for it. So you either get that book credit through a subscription plan or if you want to buy the book credit allocart you can do so as well but either way it’ll require book credit. However everything that I showed you up to the getting the ideas on positioning those are free. Another disclaimer that I want to give you because I wasn’t really thinking about this earlier is that the way you create vision board books is like you just get a bunch of stock images and you compile it and these are colored images. It’s not really non-fiction or medium content. Although you can kind of count this as medium content. The way you create it is just a bunch of images. So it’s not really suited for co-author. So I’ll be completely honest, co-author cannot create a book like this because you’re just compiling images. But if you are trying to create normal non-fiction books, children’s story books, medium content books like coloring books, puzzle books, guided journals, those kind of things, then you can do so inside co-author. So this is the dashboard that you will see if you do have a co-author paid subscription. So you’re not going to get this with the Chrome extension. Okay? So I just want to show you if you do choose to move forward with the paid subscription. If you want to go beyond the free one, I want to show you what are the features that you get. So within the research features that we have, we have reverse asin lookup kind of similar to Cerebro from Helium 10. So we have that. It’ll replace Helium 10 keyword scout. It’ll replace the other keyword research tools. Niche Hunter is super powerful. So you can basically filter through the entire Amazon bookstore and find whatever book that you want to find. So let’s say I want to find self-published book only within the crafts, hobbies, and home category selling as a paperback book that’s selling a lot. So, let’s say 30,000 BSR or below with only 20 reviews. So, I want to find books that are doing really well, making a lot of money with very low competition because it doesn’t have a lot of reviews. You can do additional filters like it’s been around for minimum this long or max this long. But just like that, you have these books that matches the criteria here, right? So, we have spooky girl culling book from Coco Real 17 reviews doing $14,000 per month. You can look at the BSR history from here. You can open up the book on Amazon and you can go into the analyze competitive advantage step just like how I showed you. We have a bold and easy coloring book for nails which is interesting new idea. Here we have autumn coloring book, Halloween coloring book, emotional support calling book for stressed out football fans. Very interesting, super niche, but it’s doing well with just three reviews. Another keyword right there. So literally within seconds, right, you have a ton of new ideas you can go into. And from here it’ll take you straight into the book creation process. So that is a niche hunter. I basically only use this to get new keyword ideas. I don’t really go through Amazon and do it manually anymore. And in terms of the create section, you can create different book types. So you have the normal non-fiction books, but you can do the journals and notebooks, planners, puzzles and activities, a bunch of different ones like word search, sudoku, crosswords. You got the story books, the coloring books, and specialty books like guest book workbooks. And we’re adding more. You have the manuscript editor, the angle finder, the title generator, the outline generator, creating the author persona, author bio, formatting the document, and even translating the book into different languages. Then in the design category, we have the cover generator, which is super powerful. These are some designs that I’ve created myself and this looks really nice in my opinion. You can also create A+ content, which once you’re done, it’ll generate A+ content blocks like these that you can upload straight to Amazon. Then we have the book trailers section where you can create amazing book trailers like this one. I’ll play one as an example.

It’s literally called 5 minutes social confidence and it teaches you to stop freezing when pressure hits. I don’t think it’s recording the internal audio but this is an influencer style video right. You have others like cinematic and you know a lot more. And we have the image studio. So this is essentially going to replace Canva. It has a lot of pretty complicated editing thing that I don’t even understand myself. My team just added this and I’m like, damn, that’s pretty advanced. But if you’re like, you know, into Photoshop, if you want to edit your cover in a more like advanced way, then we have this feature. All right, so if you’re interested in any of these features that are in the paid subscription plan and if you’re curious about the pricing, I’ll leave a link to co-author website in the description so you can check this out yourself. But essentially, we have three different plans. The pro plan comes with three book credits, and that’s the main difference is you get access to all the same features, but you get more book credits and more design credits. with the pro plan. Obviously, business gets you a lot more. So, with three book credits, it comes out to like 70 bucks per book with the pro plan. If you don’t want to subscribe to the pro plan, which I understand, and that’s why we have the essentials plan, which is $48 at the moment with the discount. The discount will end very soon though. So, just heads up. If you want to secure this price, I recommend you jump on it uh soon. But with the essentials plan, you get everything, but you don’t get the book credit. So, if you want to buy the book credit separately, then it’ll be 150 bucks per book. So obviously it’s cheaper if you subscribe to the pro plan, but I understand a lot of people don’t like subscriptions. So we have both options there. So I just went off a little bit and talked about, you know, the paid subscription plan and the features. But once again, the main thing for this video is to show you the free Chrome extension. This is 100% free for everyone and we’re not changing that. So again, if you want to get this, the link is in the description below. The one thing I want to ask you guys is if you do download this and if you use it and if you like it, then I would really really appreciate it if you come back to this page and leave a review right here. Because the more positive reviews we get, the better the software does. And the better co-author does, the more we can reinvest back into the software, make it better, add more features, make the features better, you know, listen to your requests on what you want us to add, and overall just make it better for the users as well. So, it’s not just us trying to make money, right? Obviously, we want to make money doing this, but we do that by making the best software in the space and, you know, really making it good for the users as well. So, it should be a win-win. So, if you do decide to leave a review, thank you so much. I really appreciate it. And, uh, yeah, I hope you enjoy this free tool. So, thanks for watching and I’ll see you in the next one.
