How to Make Money on Amazon KDP
Amazon KDP is one of the best & reliable ways to make money online & today we are gonna talk about different ways to make money using Amazon KDP
So let’s get started
Different ways to make money from Kindle Publishing aka Amazon KDP
There are different ways you can make money with KDP & today we’ll see 5 best & effective ways to make money with KDP
Create & Sell No Content Books
This is one of the basic yet competitive ways to make money with KDP because even though the creation of no-content books is easy, there are already way too many players doing the exact same thing…so I recommend you to niche down & find a particular niche you wanna work on.
Here No content books are basically books with minimum ready content & they are used by customers to fill out the real content.
Some of the examples of Amazon KDP No Content books are – Journals, Notebooks, Sketch Books, etc
How to Create KDP No Content Books – Full Tutorial
Step 1
Find your niche – I recommend using Book Bolt to find high-in-demand KDP book niches with low competition.
Book Bolt is super easy & it is quite reliable. I personally use it so it is highly Recommended.
Step 2
Find relevant keywords – Once you know your niche & know what kind of book you wanna create it is time to find the right keywords to rank for.
Most KDP authors/booksellers skip this step & end up not making any money KDP.
Important Info
This is crucial because this decides where your book will rank…so even though you have an awesome book but your listing is crappy & customers aren’t able to find it…you are never going to make money with KDP.
Use book bolt for keyword research, also use free KDP chrome extensions like – AMZ Suggestion Expander, and DS Amazon Quick View for KDP keyword research
Step 3 – Part 1
Creating the book – This involves 2 Steps
First, create the book interior & second create the book cover.
For Interiors you can again use Book Bolt – It has a huge collection of good book interiors & it is absolutely free to use.
Just go to this website & click on interior wizard & then enter your book parameters like size and page number & you are good to go
Important Info
Although you are allowed to use the interior as it is…if you really want to make good sales then I recommend changing a bit of the interior.
Just use Book Bolt Designer or Canva & edit the interior.
You can add an intro page – this book belongs to [Name of the use] & you can also add some elements to make the interior more appealing.
Step 3 – Part 2
Now to create a book cover – first go to this link. It is an Amazon KDP book cover calculator.
Just enter the book parameters like size, pages, type, format, etc & then it will give you your KDP book cover template.
Use this KDP book cover template to design your KDP book cover.
If you want a high-quality book cover – I recommend using the book bolt. The process is easy & results are fantastic.
But if you are familiar with Canva, you can absolutely use Canva to design your book cover.
Once your book cover is ready – just download it
Important Info
You need to download the book cover as Print PDF & CMYK is recommended but if you are using Canva Free – You have to use the RGB scheme…which is also ok.
If you do have a Canva Pro account…always use CMYK for KDP book covers.it just makes the quality of book cover design 10X better.
Step 4
Publishing
Go to Amazon KDP – enter your book title, author name, keywords, description, and price, and upload the interior & book cover. and once you are ok with the book preview…hit publish.
It might take up to 72 hrs for your book to be reviewed & published (unless it has any errors or is against the KDP policies).

There are people out there making a decent amount some even 5-6 figures selling Amazon KDP books & many of these players are selling no-content books as well…so yes! there is an opportunity to make money selling no-content books on KDP…

They’ll write an excellent & high-quality book for you & you have the right to publish it under your name on Amazon KDP.
Insider Secret
There are many established authors & popular gurus who use this exact strategy to make money on Amazon KDP.
Number 3
Use AI to write your ebook
You can use ChatGPT to write an ebook for you. but make sure you read, edit & validate the content because sometimes ChatGPT does just makeup stuff.
or use can use a dedicated AI tool like Ai Buddy, GPT eBook Pack, or eBook Maker which are specifically designed to create ebooks for you.
The reason I recommend using any of these tools rather than ChatGPT is –
First, they are designed & programmed to create ebooks in any niche/topic you want
Second – they have access to the internet so the facts & reasoning in the book are real & relevant.
Third – these tools are programmed in such a way that no ebook is similar to another
And they are guaranteed to create an original & high-quality ebook, unlike ChatGPT which is proven to use & mix-match content from other published sources.
Number 4
Use Premium High-Quality PLR & sell them as your eBooks
Many people use this technique with free PLR, not only they don’t work but sometimes Amazon KDP might shadow-ban you & it might cost you traffic & sales of your other books as well.
So if you want to sell PLR Ebooks as your own…make sure you BUY high-quality content
Here are some PLR Products that you can use
eBook PLR 1
Ebook PLR 2

eBook PLR 4
Tools to Create eBooks
Sell Non Fictional Books
These are high-quality books – everything I have said for selling ebooks works the same for these nonfictional books as well…
The only difference here is – you can publish your book as digital (kindle version), paperback & hardcover, unlike the ebooks which only have Kindle versions.
You can create these Non Fictional Books using the same techniques I have shared for ebooks
& the best thing is the above PLR products work for these nonfictional books as well.
Here Non-Fictional Books can be educational, self-help, health, personal growth, finance, etc

These are basically fictional books like Noveels…they could be in any genre you want.
