What’s one concrete action step you can take right now to prioritize achieving your passive income goals-despite your busy life?
You said a mouthful when you said to do it in weekly batches. I'm already burned out at work. I was burning myself out trying to do kdp as well. Week 1, week 2 etc. So simple. Never ever entered my mind for some reason. Thanks!
An insightful and very relatable video. Especially liked your comment about how your success can benefit everyone.
I’m about 1 week away from launching my first Coloring book. The page production process has been absolutely joyful and actually energising.
But the frustration of having to stop creating and do the mundade things in life is real. I have a hubby to be who respects my time and that is a true blessing.
Anyway thank you for the advice shared on this channel. Quickly becoming my fave kdp channel actually.
Beautiful video Rachel. That positivy reminder and not feel overwhelmed and cuttiing away from unwanted things is so vital. Thank you for sharing these beautiful wholistic tips. Priceless.
Thank you for sharing. A lot been going on at once lately, but I will get back to focussing on book publishing as this is my ideal dream. Where there's a will, there's a way. Love the honouring the season we're in. So important! Even it it's 1-3 hours a week, it's better than nothing. Love the batching idea. I help people balance their energy, emotions and goals. Yes, reminding of our why is amazing. Watching any of your videos is always inspiring as well. It's important to feed our minds & Souls with something inspiring and it's amazing how motivating it can be.
Thank you I love your way of thinking, and appreciate the info I will definitely use it.
This was so much needed! Thanks Rachel.
Amazing, thanks for this. Great reminders :)
Awesome & very thoughtful Tips!!!
I am going to apply this to ALL of my streams of income.
No More Excuses!!!
Great advice! Thanks!
You're so welcome! What did you find the most helpful?
Thank you so much!!! I'm in the eye of a personal storm at the moment and tired af of some things... This video came in perfect timing!
Question (out of curiosity): did you quit you 9 to 5? :-)
well this helps cheer me up ☺️
okay... it's time for me to get off the fence and just get on with it. I have no experience, no knowledge and no money but hey... what have I got to lose eh? Time to sign up with KDP and get a first low content book uploaded. Something simple to begin with plus the best cover I can come up with is the way to go I reckon. Fingers crossed and thanks for the inspiration!

Amazon sent me this message on the grounds that there was an error in the cover. I did not understand the point : Remove any language from your cover file or the details you entered during setup that indicates your book has a binding type other than paperback (such as spiral-bound).
I Have the same negative feeling about my struggling with money parents and It drives me but at the same time i think It préventifs me to succeed. How did you change the negative into positive feeling? Did you do some visualisation?
Very helpful video 🙌🙏
Hey, thank you for teaching KDP, unfortunately my account of KDP has been terminated due to affiliate account ,I couldn't realise , now I have deleted but , KDP don't listen me , what should. I do ?
I downloaded the free three step guide to make a low content book. It says the lined manuscript is in it, but it is not. Where do I go for the inside manuscript?
I signed up to download the guide, and received the email, but when I try to open it, it says "No preview available. File is in owners trash". I am using Google Chrome. Any advice as to how to download this?
I LOVE your video tutorials. I created 10 quality books and 4 have gone live. Oh I’m soooo hoping I can start getting sales soon!
Three and a half minutes in and I'm wowed. Thank you.
Thanks for your kind comment, Sheldon!
Wow! this was so inspiring! I started publishing in sept and have not seen many sales after listing about 25-50 books. I recently started watching your videos and have since implemented how you paste LONG TAIL keywords into the 7 boxes. I now see them on the front page (in incognito tab under "books". Is that a good thing?)! I am only about a week into this and hope, with God's help, to see some results. I love the ideas that you gave and I plan on implementing more of a schedule into my week when it comes to bookmaking and publishing. I also love the quotes idea! I do the same thing! Thanks for the encouragement Rachel
Hey Rachel. I came across your page whilst searching for a way to change my life financially. Do you offer a program on how to do what your doing with low content publishing. Thank you
Do you have a video on selling on creative fabrica? Thank you
Okay ... I'm inspired to get off the fence (at last) and actually do something! No knowledge, no experience, no idea and no money. Perfect... what have I got to lose? Gerry in Ireland
Amazing! What's going to be your first step, Gerry?
Thanks Rachel for your insights. Your genuine, thorough, and realistic info is very helpful. This is exactly what I needed to start my journey in multi passive income generation.
Thanks for your comment, Franklin! So glad you found it useful!
I am trying to increase my income from affiliate marketing by starting a new blog (and this is for linking to Pinterest). However, I am struggling to find time and brain energy for this and keep up with KDP too. I am tempted to give up on the blog, but worried about getting KDP sales. Thoughts?
I have literally been seeking a video like this for the last few days. I have been struggling with time management with being a new mom, working part time, my daughters therapy schedule 5x a week due to her recent diagnosis, starting my dual masters and continuing with my new KDP journey and aspire to also have an etsy shop. I also strive to maintain a healthy lifestyle so I dont consume so much coffee. This video really helped me see the overall picture for myself. While I have a lot on my plate and aspire to do many things setting my goals and going over them should help with that burst of energy to pull through that extra hour I didnt realize I had. And as I get closer and closer to my goals the load will lighten up because I will see the ball rolling and I won't be stuck in the beginning. Thank you so much for this video and I hope everyone else that sees his video gets inspired just as much as I have been. Good luck to everyone! ❤
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful comment, Jamie! I'm sitting here at 10pm at night finishing up some updates for my course and reading your comment just now has literally given me the extra motivation I need to get done what needs to be done. Thank you!
It sounds like you have an absolute ton on your plate right now. You're doing an amazing job. Give yourself grace and try to take care of yourself whenever you can as well. Even God rested on the seventh day!💗
thank you rachel. you have inspired me and given me lots of tools to use.
You are so welcome! What did you find the most helpful?
Hi Rachel, this really resonated with me as I have young kids and work 4 days a week! Thank you! It is really all about energy and mindset management
Thanks for watching! Yes, mindset and energy management are everything! Especially with young kids testing our limits at every corner!😂
I just found you last Saturday & had decided to jump into LCP then my entire family (including two young grandsons) got hit with covid- our four year old was actually hospitalized for three days! This video hit me deep down into my soul! I refuse to live in lack- we lost my precious Mama one year ago to covid related pneumonia. I’m the matriarch now and like my amazing Mama, I’m going to make room for a career and delegate responsibility to those who need to start taking up their own slack! I will make time to kick start this passive stream of income, I just needed a plan and you appeared at the exact moment I was ready! Thank you for your course, I signed up today.
Thanks so much for watching, GiGi! I'm so sorry to hear about how Covid has affected your family, especially your four year old and your mama. What a challenging time it's been for so many. I'm happy to hear you're making room for your career and delegating some responsibility. You deserve help! And welcome to the course! You're just in time-I'll be uploading some fresh updates over the next couple of days. 😀
Same and unworthy it's me you read my mind😍😍😍
Very inspiring Rachel thank you
Thanks for watching!
Great video Rachel, thank you. 🙂
You're so welcome!
I love the quotes - thank you, I am adding those to my list... 💚
I love a good quote! Which one was your favourite?
Just starting out and new to your channel. Can't wait to see how this progresses.
Great, be sure to keep me posted on your progress!
@@RachelHarrisonSund Will do!
Just starting out and this is what I need .Will implement all and come back to give feedback.
Thanks for watching, Gladys!
thank you for this....
You're welcome 😊
I want to do the same, pay off my student debt and now buy a car because I don’t have one anymore. So since I’m not able to work I’m working on creating books for KDP and getting my Etsy up and running again.
Thanks so much Rachel ,your video is really inspiring ,sometimes at the beginning i feel overwhelmed where to start, what is the right niche ,right low content , for scheduling i think 3 or 4 hour a week can get results ,you talked about consistency it needs high level of positive energy , some people say that the market kdp is saturated , be optimistic is the best cure.
It's easy to feel overwhelmed in the beginning stages of anything, so just hang in there and go at your own pace!
I am fortunate to be able to listen to RUclips while I work. I’m going to be implementing many of the ideas you mentioned today! You are a calm voice in the KDP world.
Thanks for such a wonderful compliment, Terrie!
My name is niha you explained my condition I am doing Job I want to start after watching lots of vedios from RUclips i am confused from where I will start what should be by first step
Your first step could be to download my free guide in the description of this video. That will get you up and running quickly!
Thank you. I have been dabbling with KDP for 4 months and almost completed your course. I am currently getting a batch of books uploaded (with a bit of editing required, which is all good learning). Having some health issues, plus other commitments, so not got the time/energy to do as much as I would like. However, I know I will succeed.
Thanks for watching, Ali! You will definitely succeed, just keep moving forward at a pace that works for you!
Rachel, can we be friends? I have the same goals right now and a similar background with parents that struggled financially. I grew up in a mobile home in the middle of the woods and I know I never want to get to that point. I want to get as far away as possible and enable others too!
Hi, could you do a video on how you setup and manage your spreadsheet... with the same step by step approach you do with your other videos. Thank you
Thanks for the suggestion!
@@RachelHarrisonSund spreadsheets on kpd and motivating topics... you're welcome 😊
So inspiring 😃😃
Thanks for watching!
Fantastic video! I got so much from this. Thanks so much Rachel.
So glad it was helpful, Jacqueline!
Hello Rachel, I'm new here! I totally hear you on this one. I work from home and home school my kids. Most days I'm silently losing my you know what. I took a few days off during the holidays, but I still feel burnt out. Lately what's been working for me is that I allow myself about 3 hours to create books, then pick it up the next day if it's not complete. I had to remind myself that it's completely ok to not finish a book in a day, start time blocking my schedule and take a break. Hello from Edmonton ❤
Simone, you are doing it all! I'm right there with you losing my you-know-what, and I'm probably doing half of what you're doing! It's definitely okay to take more than a day to finish a book. Quality books take time, so give yourself some grace and take those breaks! Also, love hearing from my fellow Canadians. 😀
Hi great video, I'm just starting KDP and I'm totally green.
My question is, can adult coloring books, coloring pages containing curses and nudity be advertised or not?
Hey Nicole! Books with curse words and / or nudity will be rejected for Amazon ads.
@@RachelHarrisonSund Thanks
You are definitely my inspiration.... I finally two books out. One took me Five hours 😔😔. But..... Not giving up and will try batching. Covers are the one thing giving me issues though.
Thanks for the kind comment, Ann! Five hours is perfectly reasonable for a quality book-I've taken much longer to create a book, so don't let this bring you down. Great quality books take time! You can do this. :)
@@RachelHarrisonSund thank you Rachel
Great video! You talk about using same interiors with different covers... I heard Amazon was coming down on books with same interiors... is this wrong? Or how might one protect against this? My one thought was to create premade "blocks" that can be swapped in and out on a page to make unique interiors quickly... same blocks but mixed in different ways to create different interiors.
Thanks, Bart! Use common sense when re-using your interiors. Books like planners, notebooks, and even guest books, make sense having the same interiors, while other "one-off" type books like colouring or activity books don't. If you try to publish books that don't make sense having the same interior you might get into trouble for using "duplicate content".
@@RachelHarrisonSund Thanks Rachel!
I can see some books in the background. Please create a video on books you read.
Good idea!
What was the first thing you outsourced when you started scaling your business?
Initially I outsourced uploading my books to KDP, but after realizing that this was against KDP's Terms I stopped doing that. About a year or 2 ago I hired a designer to update all of the covers and interiors on my planners for the new year, as I didn't have time to do it myself anymore. For the other areas of my business, the first thing I outsourced was my bookkeeping, followed by all of my admin work.
Thank you for this video!! ❤
This made me laugh. I binge watch Netflix while uploading books. It’s the compromise of getting it done. A powerful why is crucial.
Hey, whatever works! I usually put my headphones on and blast some electronic music to keep myself awake. I'm sure I'd make dozens of mistakes if I had the TV on while I was uploading books.
@@RachelHarrisonSund perhaps in the LCPA group you should share a playlist.
I love electronic music so I might have to send you something lol
Very inspiring. Thank you from France
Hi Rachael, I am new to your videos and I particularly love this one. Thank you for all the advice, I'll use it and as you mentioned, I need to believe that I'll make it. I have a question, I've already published 2 different journals on KDP since December 2021, I haven't had any sales yet. Would you recommend using Ads to start earning? From one of your videos, you mentioned that's not necessary to put Ads. I wish to get more insight on this. Thank you in advance.
Thanks for watching! Ads work best on books that are already generating sales. If your books haven't sold yet it's unlikely that ads will help. I would work on refining your process and trying to get some organic sales first, then try ads when you feel confident with the publishing process.
Hola, que tal?, como van?,
Los mejores y más cordiales Saludos desde puente piedra, lima, Perú, ojalá que puedas venir en algún momento a mi país y que disfrutes mucho de todo por aquí, con la familia y los amigos, felicidades por tus vídeos....
This was a great video thank you, I love that you are from Vancouver. Vancouver Island girl here! :)
Thanks for watching! I love the island! Sometimes I fantasize about selling up and moving there. 😀
Hi Rachel, I’ve just started watching some of your videos. I published a low content book last year, it sold about 350 copies and then stopped dead in its tracks. Other versions and editions I’ve done since then haven’t sold a single copy. I’ve tried adding A+ content and nothing seems to be working. I could use some help .
Hi Billy, I would redo my keyword and category research and then try swapping out my keywords to see if that helps. After waiting a week or two to see if that works, I'd then try swapping out my categories. (Don't swap out both keywords and categories at once, or you won't know which set of swaps actually helped.) And if you haven't done so already, be sure to email KDP and request 8 Amazon Browse categories. Hope that helps!
