00:00Welcome to our channel.
00:03In today's video, we're diving into Amazon KDP basics and exploring the differences between
00:09low-content, medium-content, and high-content books.
00:15Whether you're an aspiring author, a creative entrepreneur, or just curious about self-publishing,
00:22this guide will help you understand what types of books you can create on Amazon KDP.
00:28So let's get started.
00:30First, let's quickly talk about what Amazon KDP is.
00:34KDP stands for Kindle Direct Publishing, and it's Amazon's platform that allows anyone
00:40to publish books, e-books, and more.
00:44You can reach millions of readers worldwide with your content, but not all books are created
00:50the same, and that's where understanding low-content, medium-content, and high-content
00:56books comes in.
00:59Let's start with low-content books.
01:01These are books with little to no text inside, but they're incredibly popular on Amazon KDP.
01:08Examples include journals, notebooks, planners, coloring books, and sketchbooks.
01:15What makes them low-content is the minimal text.
01:19The focus is on providing a structure for the user to fill in.
01:23The creation of low-content books is straightforward, often involving designing a cover and simple
01:29interior layouts.
01:31They're a great way to enter the world of self-publishing because they don't require
01:35lengthy writing, just creativity and a good understanding of your target audience.
01:42Next, we have medium-content books.
01:45These books are a step up from low-content and include a mix of text and interactive
01:50elements.
01:51Examples are workbooks, guided journals, puzzle books, and activity books.
01:58Medium-content books require more effort in terms of content creation because you're providing
02:03more value to the reader through guided exercises, educational content, or interactive activities.
02:11These books appeal to both kids and adults, and they can be a fun way to engage your audience
02:17while offering them something useful.
02:20If you enjoy creating content that combines structure with creativity, medium-content
02:25books might be the perfect niche for you.
02:29Finally, we have high-content books.
02:32These are what most people traditionally think of when they hear books.
02:37High-content books include novels, nonfiction books, biographies, cookbooks, and detailed
02:42manuscripts.
02:44These books are text-heavy, requiring significant writing, research, and editing.
02:51Publishing high-content books on Amazon can deeply involve more work, but it also opens
02:56up the potential for building a strong author brand and generating passive income.
03:03High-content books often have a higher perceived value, and they can reach specific, passionate
03:09audiences looking for in-depth information or entertainment.
03:14Now that you know the differences, how do you decide which type of book to create?
03:19Here are a few tips to know your strengths.
03:21If you're great at writing, high-content might be your path.
03:25If you're more design-oriented, low- or medium-content could be ideal.
03:31Understand your audience.
03:33Think about what your target audience is looking for.
