My desire and goal is to be in a comfortable place! $5,926.63 monthly is comfortable for my family! I've been researching and studying since September 2022 and I'm still putting things into perspective! This would be an awesome start winning this offer! Thanks for the opportunity ❤
Hi Energi, thanks for posting this great video. My goal is to make $20,000/month. I'm willing to do three figure work to get there. Have a great week, and thanks for all that you do!
My first and HUGE mistake was not doing the research. So, that's what I've been doing the last 2 months. I've got a cussing coloring book...and within less than a week I've had 20 sales. Not a lot by any means...but it's a start. I've been treating this like a full time job. Energi, I'll send you my books when I get more sales. Great information in this vlog!!
Speaking of going above an beyond- you literally did JUST that in this video. Every other video shows basics and low content… you stepped it up by showing us in more detail and I appreciate that! ❤
I want to cry... I'm in a job that just isn't for me anymore. I'll be 41 this month and it often feels like it's too late to change my life. But here is this video- teaching me something that could literally change my life... I can't believe it... Thank you Energi. I'm new here, thank you for what you're doing. 💜
Ma'am I invite you to learn about Islam. It will change your life. Just listen to the Quran with the translation. Accepting Islam will be the most fulfilling restart and rejuvenating decision of your life. Don't leave it late. And don't let that day be the first day you realize.❤ Peace
thank you so much for your HONEST advice and helping us little people become the big dogs😂 my goal would be $10k a month but honestly even just an extra 3-5k a month would help me and my family out tremendously
This video has helped to give me the inspiration I need to take my KDP Account to the next level. Even if I could aim to make an extra $500 a month, this could help cover the lack of income stability I have with my hourly wage at the moment. Thank you, Energi!
I LOVE your delivery! So matter of fact and informative! My husband and I have adopted one of our granddaughters and, as older parents, we are still saving for retirement but we want to spend (and she needs us to give) more of our time with her especially in the summer months when she's out of school. We would also love to be more involved with our other grandkids and we like to help out with them when and where we can. I would really love to resign my full-time position to be a stay-at-home grandmommy :-) In order for me to leave my current position, our initial monthly goal would be $5,000. Once school starts back up in the fall, we would work towards expanding that goal because we'll have more time to devote to growing this business while she's in school. We realize this wouldn't be one book but we're willing to put in the work. I really appreciate people like you who are willing to share their expertise and experience to benefit others. Thank You!!
I love this! I would just please encourage people to do your research not just for the marketing but that you’re putting out information that will help not harm especially for things in the medical and wellness field.
Thank you! I am a Neuro Trauma ICU RN and have to say you shouldn’t be able to create a “stroke recovery” book of any kind without understanding how stroke effects different parts of brain, comprehension and learning.. Obviously I am here to learn more about creating content for medium content books etc.. however I feel a certain type of way about titles like “stroke recovery”. She does suggest research which I agree but some topics cannot be understood with a couple of quick google searches.. low vision puzzle book is worlds away from stroke recovery.
@@MindlessInsights as a non medical person i appreciate your comment. I think this video is extremely irresponsible and no one should be doing this unless you're qualified and have experience
@@jessicasfarrell My thoughts exactly. It's scary to think that random people might think of publishing a book on this kind of subject for the sole purpose of earning extra money (even if it's "low-content"). ONLY healthcare professionals should be able to publish such content.
I agree with this! As someone with PTSD, it drives me nuts when people try to give me advice who have not suffered this illness and do not know anything about it other than some quick research.
My goal is to make $10000 per month from Amazon kdp n I loved this quote “in order to get what others don’t you must be willing to put what others won’t” Thank you so much energi ♥️
Thank you for reminding me to get back on the grind lol. I've been meaning to make a medium content book once I found out low content books were out, but kept putting it off 🤦🏽♀. So again thank you!! Don't stop what you're doing Energi 😌❤.
As a Physical therapist who specializes in Dementia patients, cardiovascular, neurological, amputation, orthopedic and sports medicine, I just realized that I can do these types of books. Instead of my journals that aren't selling much.
This was confirmation for me that I am on the right path with my thinking. I want to make over 5k monthly. I have 4 journals and 1 coloring book so far. I try to work on 2 day and spend the time in the weekend getting them uploaded. Thank you for the additional tips as well.
Am I the only one that think it's a bit problematic to start creating medical and psychiatric content without any expertise? It's a huge risk to start to produce this kind of content without the required substance expertise.
I am watching for the first time and have a few things to say. 1. Your candid advice is " spot on" . 2. You are truly wise for such a young woman. 3. Your tell it like it is! So happy that I found your video today. I am definitely rethinking the ideas I have about making my new book. Thank you. Be ever blessed!🌷💝😊
Listen girl! Your tips are so genuine and amazing, you gave me advice to make travel guides as a means of making passive income and this year is the year! I’m going to really put my best effort into this because I am seriously on a mission to escape my 9-5. If I can make a minimum of an extra USD5,000 per month, even as a start, my life would significantly change for the better. It’s an exciting prospect and I can’t wait to surpass what I could ever imagine be possible. Thank you for always sharing your insight 🙏🏿
@memelois how are you doing 5 months later! any update you can give? im really curious to know if you've made progress to see if I can start myself and if it will pay off!
Still freshly being out of almost a 30 year marriage..... EVERYTHING is all new to me. I know I want to do this and I know it's said that Book Bolt is amazing. (DEEP BREATH).... I want to make at least $2,500 to $4,500 a month.🤷♀️🤷♀️🤦♀️🤣🤣
YOU GOT THIS! Keep your head up and remember patience and perseverance are key! I can relate to the divorce experience. This is YOUR TIME TO SHINE and to be the BEST VERSION of yourself! Just wanted to leave you with words of encouragement!
"Do this instead" : did you make any money with it? How much did you make? Why should we follow your advice without ANY proof of success? Another youtuber that just cares about views/subscribers NOT your success.
this video was just what i needed to see to get back on my grind and do more research. i love how you minimize such a broad from 60,000 to 3,000 and i never thought about the color wheel but will use from now on . I have published 6 low content books and one medium but no luck. working on another medium and will use your tips and tricks. My goal is $4,000 a month. thank you for this video.
Thank you for the wealth of information that you provided. I am a Registered Nurse who has a unique story that I want to share and started researching KDP. You organized and simplified so much for me. I am going to begin seaching for low competition Niches with the methods that you suggested. I would have never known this if I had not found your video! Thank you so much. I will keep you updated (because I did subscribe).
This was a wonderful video and I really appreciate it. I've put a lot of effort into writing multiple kids books and the process of getting published through a brick-and-mortar establishments is overwhelming. I decided that I would much rather put my efforts into self-publishing but I wanted to do it right. This video gave me so many tips on how I can avoid mistakes and do it right the first time. Thank you!
This was great! Thank you for all the tips, really great information. And I needed that extra push up 😊 My goal is to make 1.000 weekly hoping that I can get to that 6 figures until the end of this year
I came across this video today! I made a downloadable adult activity/ coloring book over a year ago and sold a few thru Pulley. My eyes got so big when you started explaining medium content books because that's exactly what mine is. Down to the puzzles. I'm going to follow these steps for amazon and see what happens🤞🏾💕✨️💫🌟🧘🏾♀️
@diamondstar380 hey! Type KDP in your search bar and it should pop up. Then follow the prompts. The site basically walks you through the steps💕 I'm excited for you🎉
Love thisss! I've been feeling called to start selling books like this and I'm so ready to take action on that spark. I already finished one book, now I'm ready to get this other one out there! I would like to make around $1.5k a month from these books and I know it is doable. We got this, thank you for your tips!
You really did a great job at helping us think outside the box. Not only did you shut down the idea of over saturation by helping me understand that this will really mostly apply to over saturation of low quality, low effort products vs opportunity with substance filled, value forward product. That made a big shift in my mind that puts all the videos I have watched into perspective. There’s a fast and easy way (where you may not see the results you hope for) and there’s a somewhat slower but honestly still easy way that just requires you to go an extra mile or two than everyone else! Really got a lot of value from your lesson that I will apply to all aspects of digital marketing. ❤
For the past 2 weeks, I've been watching dozens and dozens of various content creators and their takes on how to do kdp low content books and make BIG money fast. But this video, by far, is the best one out of all the one's I've spent weeks watching. There's more to just slapping a book together, and doing minor keyword research. Niching down is key. There's too much cut and run youtubers out here not giving quality information. This is my first time seeing this young lady, and I have found my virtual mentor. This is exactly what I needed to hear, see, and learn. Thank you.. I don't know your name yet... Energi? Is that it?😊 I subscribed and I'm following you on this.
im glad i could make this detailed for you! i think theres so many people promoting it as easy ... yes it is easy to get a book up there but selling takes work yes my name is energi :)
I have to say, I've been selling some books on Amazon for a few years now, and this video will help me make the slight adjustments needed to increase sells. Amazing video, probably one of the best out there! Thank you so much for this one!!
Very useful info, good job But I wanted to ask. Searching for a very specific niche gets less results, therefore less competition for sure. But doesn't that mean less sales because it is searched for less often ?
That's the most of what's missing here. People may not be making many diabetes coloring books... because there isn't great demand for a diabetes coloring book. Without connecting sales to competition, this advice is incomplete.
Hi Energi, God bless you! You did such an amazing job going really in depth on how to choose a niche based on statistics and colors and content, book cover, and more. WOW, you inspired me to go back on book bolt and start selling books- medium content as you mentioned to target more customers. My quick question is- how does the book get packaged and sold on Amazon? How is the book actually created to be shipped out physically. Sorry if you have answered this question before on another video. Thanks so much for your time and attention!
next weeks video will be helpful for you as im bringing on someone who has dealt with this but .. everything is unstable. your job can fire you at any moment with or without reason. you could break your leg and never walk again. you could get hit with a potato in just the right spot and die. By your logic, doing anything is a waste of time.
Thanks for giving your time to teach us what’s needed to grow our business! This aligns with my goals. Quality is everything to me! I appreciate all you do!!
absolutely LOVE your videos! clear, concise, and detailed instructions. I discovered you a few nights ago while struggling with Bookbolt. It was a a series of short how to for journals/notebooks. Really helped me. Thank you. Anyway, another great video. How about book cover creation? so critical. How do you design an amazing book cover besides just using a free image?
I definitely need to look into the research but interesting enough the niches that have low competition happen to be my area of interest. I want to do the Did you know animal books, I love mixing facts with art. And the trauma, anxiety, narc abuse, stroke all stuff I would love to do. I love helping others.
Energi girl you are on here giving out some great advice! I’m taking notes. I took a semester off from school but feel as though I’ve just listened to a great lecture. I want to turn my book I wrote into an audible book. I published a book of poetry back in 2012 through create space. It didn’t sell a lot. It was only in paper back. I pulled it from Amazon last year because I want to revise it and put out as a kindle book and do an audiobook. I subscribed to book bolt but I have analysis paralysis 🤦🏿♀️ I’m stuck trying to figure out how to transfer my manuscript to book bolt. I’m going to watch some videos and just keep trying. I have a poetry video on my other channel where one of my poems went viral back in 2007 (yea I’m an old RUclips head 😂) it has 2 million views on it. I need to harness that in some way. I’m hoping once I do a actual audio book I can make a trailer for that channel and also do some live readings to promote the audio book and the kindle/paperback.
currently I am making about $200- $500 selling coloring books, that's both through KDP and Etsy. I started in January so its only been 3 full months. I would love to make about $1,000 consistently. It would supplement my income well. I really enjoyed your video and the fact that you encourage people to not be lazy and to do actual work!! That is the exact mindset I have had going into it. To hopefully rise above the saturation just by having a better quality. I entered for the book bolt and have my fingers crossed !
i found them .. they are beautiful! I would suggest in the future doing better keyword research and having your title/subtitle be seo optimized.. you want to make sure people are actually searching for these. Look at the top sellers' titles and mirror those. So Ethereal coloring book > Fairy fantasy greyscale coloring book (10K results) Dark lullaby coloring book > Creepy coloring book (2K results) Fairy Houses Coloring Book > This is good already. Id look at the negative reviews of other top performers and see how you can improve on them. I also suggest using A+ content to stand out
I just have to make anottehr comment in the case you delete my last one. Please, don't play with people health and also health advice... even if you just do book things, it doesn't mean you doesn't give people health advices. The simple people that watch your videos might be interested in the wrong way you show the... "way" and they might be harmed in a way or another. So, please don't give health advice and also don't tell me that you're watched by nurses or doctors. That's a so lame answer from a good healthy person. Watching does not mean approving or overwatching or w/e means in your mind. It just means, watching... Not approval. Second, if you have a thought it's ok. But try to go all over the way with unhealthy people, talk to them and after that making a general conclusion, and after that you might... might have a real chance to say something about that particular illness... But talking about health books about different problems... you are going so wrong... So, please stop doing that now! You are not a health adivser or a doctor! So, stop doing that! Go see a doctor and we'll talk after that one session. If you're able to! Because in this state, I think you just make more harm than good! And I'm also sorry about that, again, because you're not genuine and from all your things just go for money not health issues. Unfortunately, tik tok address this health thing, but youtube seemed to not doing that. I hope in the nearest future they will do that. So, I please stop this nonsense and just go on your real thing. Not making fun of unhealthy people by "writing" unhealthy books... Cheers!
Thanks for your video and by the way I am so proud of you from where you have started to see how you have grown on RUclips is astounding well I'm an empty nester who lost her job due to health problems and was looking to making an income online due to me not having any income at the moment and not able to fix my own vehicle and keep up with the demands for everyday living plus I am a new grandmother of two granddaughters and I'm not able to spoil them like I want to because finances or null and void at the moment so I would appreciate making at least $2,500 a month 😂😊 to start with on KDP and at the moment I'm not able to even purchase anything or an account thanks for your work and your videos 😊
Yeah....no, I wouldn't create books for stroke recovery or dementia unless you have the qualifications needed to create that kind of cognitive activity content.
It's really good information. I made 2 lowcontent books, but the performance was very poor. So I started studying on RUclips, but I wish I had met ENERGI sooner, but I'm so glad I found out even now. Thank you for the good lecture and I will definitely make a book that sells well through market analysis.
Keep going. Read customer feedback and adjust accordingly. Volume and quality are key. Very few authors make millions with one book. Some authors put out 200+. Just keep going and keep growing. You can do it.
Why are you sharing this info making more competition for yourself? It doesn't make sense unless the real reason you are doing this is for RUclips content and not because you really make that money yourself on KDP.
This video was very informative and motivational.! I have watched a couple videos on this topic and haven’t started yet but this one gives me more confidence and motivation to do it. I am a stay at home mom and my husband work full so I don’t really have a goal on how much to make because every lot bit helps . 1000 the first month would be amazing.Thank you !!!
What about back cover pocket fold? Is that an option within designer program? Since seeing you first time last week I’m stepping into mew territory and at 52 actually excited releasing my creative potential. I’m just about finishing my 1st project THOUGHT OCCURRED TO MYSELF, I like blank journals with those back pockets. Hoping you had seen that option somewhere. Thanks again for inspiring me!
Motivating af, I get stuck on second guessing my book isn’t good enough but it’s in the trial and error baby!! Gotta start somewhere. Thank you for the tips 🥰
Hey, Energi, I have an idea for a book I don't think gets done often, if at all. I'm a writer and poet, and I have a cute 1000 word poem about a girl and a cat. I was going to originally publish it with traditional color art, but now I'm thinking that a black and white coloring book combined with the poetry might be better. I don't think that's even a common sort of product, and given the nature of the content, it would lend itself to sequels and a series of similar stories.
@@goodenergi can you do a life update ! Like are you still out the country ?? What do you think about social media platforms restructuring their incentives for creatives ? Do you do reels?!Wit all this bank stuff I’m thinking about take a leap 🤣🤣 out of here !
can i sell local address book that have peoples email address & social media profile in it on kdp & can i put qr code inside of book, to let buyers download digital copy of book
I absolutely love this video from the knowledge your providing step by step, to your passion for helping others navigate and explore the possibilities of KDP book creating. I have always wanted to explore writing content and you have inspired me to dig deeper into making that a reality.
The stroke recovery books look enticing. I had a stroke and almost lost everything, I've made a strong recovery but I'm the minority when it comes to a good recovery. There's many stages to recovery and I possess the knowledge of what I went through personally and can share it and offer ideas that helped me to recover
I'm hoping to make $3K a month net profit to put towards my mortgage and pay it off in less than 5 years. Not trying to get rich but just being relieved of paying my mortgage will take a huge load of my shoulders. I just sent my coloring book to be published and eager to order the first copy to upload a flip thru on social media.
Thank you for this opportunity. I’d like to make $10k a month. I haven’t started yet as I have been doing research to get a better understanding of what to do and not to do.
I love your vidéo really, but i have one question : you down-niche in your example with safari coloring book. OK the competition is lower but is this niche searched on amazon you don't talk about this in your vidéo... do you check after ?
you can check that my checking monthly searches using Amazon Suggestion Expander Pro (paid) and/or you can use google trends :) ive mentioned this in a previous video but forgot to mention here :)
My goal is $3,000 profit each month. Less than a year in and I’m no where near my goal, but I will get there. I’ve learned so many lessons along the way, that now I know my goal is not impossible.
My goal is to acquire at least 🤑1,100 per week to start off. You are really helpful! 🤗🙏 I will get up from the valleys of life. Thanks for the motivation and the energy, Energi. Peace and love.
You’re very honest, thank you very much. Listen to her!!!!! She’s extremely kind because she is telling you the truth - not many will do this because they want to succeed not you. Big bravo applaud.
You are a SUPER smart and sharp young lady who obviously has a lot of passion for what you do and who cares about the success of others. Thank you SO much for all these amazing tips! 👏🎉😊
OK I watched this again, and I do not do that. I wanted to make sure I got all your wonderful ideas. I am a writer transitioning from teaching on line. I have taught EFL/ESL and writing at all levels for more than 20 years, but I have only 4 students left. Some just cannot pay even $10 per hour and some just do not need me any more, because I taught them how to learn. I was looking at writing what I really want to write, but that will be slow and I need money now. At 78 getting a job is not realistic even on line, as many employers think that white hair is leaky brains. Besides, I have been working for myself for a very long time, and I am a good boss. So after discussing all of this with a couple of good friends, I have decided to write medium content and short content to sell the medium content while I spend extra time writing the longer textbooks and fiction and other stuff. Your ideas are gold. I will look to see how much bookbolt will cost me as it provides a complementary service to my publisher Rocket (Chesson is a good guy too). YOu have helped me make a better plan. Thank you. I will watch all of your videos and maybe I will try making some also later on, Mercy buckets.
You just appeared on my recommended videos, thank you RUclips. Thank you for the practical and actionable reminders. 10K/month is my current goal. I'm approximately 15% there after ad spend. Thankful 🙏🏽
Amazing video with lot of bright ideas! I do have six scifi books (novel…) already written, but stil stuck on the process of formatting etc. The idea is to up them as e-books. Target is to ramp up to 10-15K USD / mo, in a year. As soon as I have them upped to KDP I will come back to share… In the meantime will keep educating myself with your nice content!!! Congrats
Loved this video. None of the bs. ❤ I’m just putting out 2 coloring books that I’ve spent almost every hour day and night on for 2 months. And now I feel good about the effort. Also you helped me with title/subtitle. Thank you! New sub.
Omg. Thank you for this topic!!! 🎉🎉❤❤Here because I’m looking for this exact type of content. I didn’t know what it was called … but you’re the first person I’ve heard use “medium content” book! I have an idea and I hope I can bring it to fruition with a mix of content beyond just a regular typical journal or planner.
Absolutely love your tips! Very valuable content :) thank you. I am just about to start with KDP & u gave me a lot to think of. Regards from Poland! :)
My question is once the book is completed how do I actually sell it manufacturering a book is very expensive so how so I get it costumers unless it digital and not paper back
This video is truely useful and gives a realistic view on publishing an ebook! Rather then "this is a side hustle you can start without lifting a finger" lol - i'm lifting many fingers for this.. My goal is 20k/month I'm just starting, still on the market research phase so wish me luck! Any tips to get the first reviews on KDP please?
Preach! Your video is the FIRST of all ones in a similar niche to REALLY click for me I am a marketing major with classes in color theory and it just hit that YESSS I can do this with my knowledge! Not one to write in all caps but thank you for igniting my passion for what I know I can do! New sub here. Love from Scotland. x
Thanks so much for this video. It was really informative. My goal is $10,000 a month. I am in the process of publishing my first coloring book on which I have spent the last 3 weeks on. Yes 😂 don't mind me, I am meticulous. I will love for you to help me review it when it is out, if that okay by you.
You have great videos that are very helpful. I learned a lot watching just a few of them so far! Thank you for making them. I would like to make an extra 3000 to 5000 a month to help with my mortgage and bills!
I'm blown away. You packed sooooo much value in such a short video. Amazing. My only regret is that I wasn't around to get a chance at one of those Bolt plans...LOL. I had to subscribe to get more... thank you!!
Thank you, Energi! I am new to all of this but I am very excited to get started after watching your video! This is right in my wheelhouse. I hope to grow my business in the first year so that I am making $2000/month. I can only foresee profits increasing after that as my skills in publishing and marketing improve. I look for to watching more of your videos!
What a great video!!!! Thank you sooo much. You have been a God-send to me. I've been praying for the past 4 days for the answers you were providing. Another prayer to win.
i enjoyed your messages about being motivated and focused on creating quality content! Thank you for taking the time to explain this. Very good work, sus!!

Hi Energi, thanks for posting this great video. My goal is to make $20,000/month. I'm willing to do three figure work to get there. Have a great week, and thanks for all that you do!
@@Fix-Your-Brain love this comment. it may be frustrating at first but keep learning. give it a year of learning, testing, and tweaking.
I have to be honest, you are quite charming with your comic timing.
okay great
My first and HUGE mistake was not doing the research. So, that's what I've been doing the last 2 months. I've got a cussing coloring book...and within less than a week I've had 20 sales. Not a lot by any means...but it's a start. I've been treating this like a full time job. Energi, I'll send you my books when I get more sales. Great information in this vlog!!
yayyy 20 sales in a week .. thats amazing. Research is so important!
Send me your book so i can see what youre doing
amazing! Are you using BookBolt?
@@goodenergi I sent it to you on Instagram. But it looks like you jetted?
@@SisterSherryDoingStuff you can send it to my email :)
I actually like that idea of activity book lol! Great idea...
Idea: Write a bunch of poems. Put a those poems together into a collection of pomes. Publish it. Advertise it. Hopefully make money.
Speaking of going above an beyond- you literally did JUST that in this video. Every other video shows basics and low content… you stepped it up by showing us in more detail and I appreciate that! ❤
I was scammed by Amazon KDP Publications.
Not harsh at all! Thank you for the reminder! My goal is $1000 a day $30,000 a month!
you can do it!!
I hope you get to your $1000 a day goal, that would be a nice income. Good luck on your journey to accomplish your goal.
Good luck on achieving $30k
It’s been 1 month already, how has it been? 😉
So are u earning
I want to cry... I'm in a job that just isn't for me anymore. I'll be 41 this month and it often feels like it's too late to change my life. But here is this video- teaching me something that could literally change my life... I can't believe it... Thank you Energi. I'm new here, thank you for what you're doing. 💜
Ma'am I invite you to learn about Islam. It will change your life. Just listen to the Quran with the translation.
Accepting Islam will be the most fulfilling restart and rejuvenating decision of your life. Don't leave it late.
And don't let that day be the first day you realize.❤ Peace
Best wishes, Roxanna. Focus with undivided attention on your Karma.
Roxanne, it's never too late for anything. Don't give up on yourself or your dreams
thank you so much for your HONEST advice and helping us little people become the big dogs😂 my goal would be $10k a month but honestly even just an extra 3-5k a month would help me and my family out tremendously
This video has helped to give me the inspiration I need to take my KDP Account to the next level. Even if I could aim to make an extra $500 a month, this could help cover the lack of income stability I have with my hourly wage at the moment. Thank you, Energi!
I LOVE your delivery! So matter of fact and informative! My husband and I have adopted one of our granddaughters and, as older parents, we are still saving for retirement but we want to spend (and she needs us to give) more of our time with her especially in the summer months when she's out of school. We would also love to be more involved with our other grandkids and we like to help out with them when and where we can. I would really love to resign my full-time position to be a stay-at-home grandmommy :-) In order for me to leave my current position, our initial monthly goal would be $5,000. Once school starts back up in the fall, we would work towards expanding that goal because we'll have more time to devote to growing this business while she's in school. We realize this wouldn't be one book but we're willing to put in the work. I really appreciate people like you who are willing to share their expertise and experience to benefit others. Thank You!!
I love this! I would just please encourage people to do your research not just for the marketing but that you’re putting out information that will help not harm especially for things in the medical and wellness field.
Thank you! I am a Neuro Trauma ICU RN and have to say you shouldn’t be able to create a “stroke recovery” book of any kind without understanding how stroke effects different parts of brain, comprehension and learning..

@@MindlessInsights as a non medical person i appreciate your comment. I think this video is extremely irresponsible and no one should be doing this unless you're qualified and have experience
@@jessicasfarrell My thoughts exactly. It's scary to think that random people might think of publishing a book on this kind of subject for the sole purpose of earning extra money (even if it's "low-content"). ONLY healthcare professionals should be able to publish such content.
@@adamseeleythat is true! And thanks for saying this!!
I agree with this! As someone with PTSD, it drives me nuts when people try to give me advice who have not suffered this illness and do not know anything about it other than some quick research.
My goal is to make $10000 per month from Amazon kdp n I loved this quote “in order to get what others don’t you must be willing to put what others won’t”
Thank you so much energi ♥️
That was a great quote
Thank you for reminding me to get back on the grind lol. I've been meaning to make a medium content book once I found out low content books were out, but kept putting it off 🤦🏽♀. So again thank you!! Don't stop what you're doing Energi 😌❤.
yesss get on it ... soooo much money to be made .. i hope this video was helpful!
As a Physical therapist who specializes in Dementia patients, cardiovascular, neurological, amputation, orthopedic and sports medicine, I just realized that I can do these types of books. Instead of my journals that aren't selling much.
YES
This was confirmation for me that I am on the right path with my thinking. I want to make over 5k monthly. I have 4 journals and 1 coloring book so far. I try to work on 2 day and spend the time in the weekend getting them uploaded. Thank you for the additional tips as well.
If you don’t mind me asking , how is sales going for you
@@504belle I just got an email this morning that my account will be closed for going against terms. No clue what I did wrong
@@sattolbert well that was unexpected. Did it get resolved?
@@jemaka6058 nope, they responded that it couldn't be appealed
@@sattolbert Did they say what terms you violated?
If I can just get enough to cover rent and basic life stuff I’ll actually be able to focus on growing my career
you totally can :)
Am I the only one that think it's a bit problematic to start creating medical and psychiatric content without any expertise? It's a huge risk to start to produce this kind of content without the required substance expertise.
plenty of nurses watch me
Where did she say to do that?
People love personal experiences more now.
I am watching for the first time and have a few things to say.
1. Your candid advice is " spot on" .
2. You are truly wise for such a young woman.
3. Your tell it like it is!
So happy that I found your video today. I am definitely rethinking the ideas I have about making my new book. Thank you. Be ever blessed!🌷💝😊
Listen girl! Your tips are so genuine and amazing, you gave me advice to make travel guides as a means of making passive income and this year is the year! I’m going to really put my best effort into this because I am seriously on a mission to escape my 9-5. If I can make a minimum of an extra USD5,000 per month, even as a start, my life would significantly change for the better. It’s an exciting prospect and I can’t wait to surpass what I could ever imagine be possible. Thank you for always sharing your insight 🙏🏿
Comforting to k ow I'm not the only one that is trying to escape my 9-5 job!
Same here lol and my goal is actually $5k/month as well.
@memelois how are you doing 5 months later! any update you can give? im really curious to know if you've made progress to see if I can start myself and if it will pay off!
seeing as your comment was 5 months ago, can I ask how you are getting on?
@AniWho268 it's impossible to make that much just from selling books on Amazon, people need to lower their expectations lol
Still freshly being out of almost a 30 year marriage..... EVERYTHING is all new to me. I know I want to do this and I know it's said that Book Bolt is amazing. (DEEP BREATH).... I want to make at least $2,500 to $4,500 a month.🤷♀️🤷♀️🤦♀️🤣🤣
YOU GOT THIS! Keep your head up and remember patience and perseverance are key! I can relate to the divorce experience. This is YOUR TIME TO SHINE and to be the BEST VERSION of yourself! Just wanted to leave you with words of encouragement!
Great content! Also your audio set up and sound is absolutely fantastic!!!!
"Do this instead" : did you make any money with it? How much did you make? Why should we follow your advice without ANY proof of success? Another youtuber that just cares about views/subscribers NOT your success.
i wish u success in ur journey
this video was just what i needed to see to get back on my grind and do more research. i love how you minimize such a broad from 60,000 to 3,000 and i never thought about the color wheel but will use from now on . I have published 6 low content books and one medium but no luck. working on another medium and will use your tips and tricks. My goal is $4,000 a month. thank you for this video.
Thank you for the wealth of information that you provided. I am a Registered Nurse who has a unique story that I want to share and started researching KDP. You organized and simplified so much for me. I am going to begin seaching for low competition Niches with the methods that you suggested. I would have never known this if I had not found your video! Thank you so much. I will keep you updated (because I did subscribe).
Isn't she great ? So smart !
This was a wonderful video and I really appreciate it. I've put a lot of effort into writing multiple kids books and the process of getting published through a brick-and-mortar establishments is overwhelming. I decided that I would much rather put my efforts into self-publishing but I wanted to do it right. This video gave me so many tips on how I can avoid mistakes and do it right the first time. Thank you!
This was great! Thank you for all the tips, really great information. And I needed that extra push up 😊
My goal is to make 1.000 weekly hoping that I can get to that 6 figures until the end of this year
yup .. put iin 6 figure work and you can get that 6 figure salary!
I came across this video today! I made a downloadable adult activity/ coloring book over a year ago and sold a few thru Pulley. My eyes got so big when you started explaining medium content books because that's exactly what mine is. Down to the puzzles. I'm going to follow these steps for amazon and see what happens🤞🏾💕✨️💫🌟🧘🏾♀️
Can you help,I want to publish my book on Amazon kdp please I don't know the site to open account please
@diamondstar380 hey! Type KDP in your search bar and it should pop up. Then follow the prompts. The site basically walks you through the steps💕 I'm excited for you🎉
Thats awesome I’m so happy for you!!🥳🥳💕 we’re you able to sell anything?
Love thisss! I've been feeling called to start selling books like this and I'm so ready to take action on that spark. I already finished one book, now I'm ready to get this other one out there! I would like to make around $1.5k a month from these books and I know it is doable. We got this, thank you for your tips!
you can do it love ! which book was your first?
How did your first book go??? Did you make a good sale????
@@aisha_curiouss ^^^
You really did a great job at helping us think outside the box. Not only did you shut down the idea of over saturation by helping me understand that this will really mostly apply to over saturation of low quality, low effort products vs opportunity with substance filled, value forward product. That made a big shift in my mind that puts all the videos I have watched into perspective. There’s a fast and easy way (where you may not see the results you hope for) and there’s a somewhat slower but honestly still easy way that just requires you to go an extra mile or two than everyone else! Really got a lot of value from your lesson that I will apply to all aspects of digital marketing. ❤
For the past 2 weeks, I've been watching dozens and dozens of various content creators and their takes on how to do kdp low content books and make BIG money fast. But this video, by far, is the best one out of all the one's I've spent weeks watching. There's more to just slapping a book together, and doing minor keyword research. Niching down is key. There's too much cut and run youtubers out here not giving quality information. This is my first time seeing this young lady, and I have found my virtual mentor. This is exactly what I needed to hear, see, and learn. Thank you.. I don't know your name yet... Energi? Is that it?😊 I subscribed and I'm following you on this.
im glad i could make this detailed for you! i think theres so many people promoting it as easy ... yes it is easy to get a book up there but selling takes work
yes my name is energi :)
@ENERGI Nice to meet you Energi. I'm looking forward to digging deep to get all of your valuable nuggets. It's really good to me.
yes i have a lot of good ones coming up .. do you have anything you want me to make for you?
I have to say, I've been selling some books on Amazon for a few years now, and this video will help me make the slight adjustments needed to increase sells. Amazing video, probably one of the best out there! Thank you so much for this one!!
Finally someone mentions color psychology. The same on pricing. It all makes a huge difference.
totally!!
Very useful info, good job
But I wanted to ask.
Searching for a very specific niche gets less results, therefore less competition for sure. But doesn't that mean less sales because it is searched for less often ?
That's the most of what's missing here. People may not be making many diabetes coloring books... because there isn't great demand for a diabetes coloring book. Without connecting sales to competition, this advice is incomplete.
Hi Energi, God bless you! You did such an amazing job going really in depth on how to choose a niche based on statistics and colors and content, book cover, and more. WOW, you inspired me to go back on book bolt and start selling books- medium content as you mentioned to target more customers. My quick question is- how does the book get packaged and sold on Amazon? How is the book actually created to be shipped out physically. Sorry if you have answered this question before on another video. Thanks so much for your time and attention!
Amazon KDP is unstable (they will close your account anytime they want without any clear reason) and waste of time
next weeks video will be helpful for you as im bringing on someone who has dealt with this
but .. everything is unstable. your job can fire you at any moment with or without reason. you could break your leg and never walk again. you could get hit with a potato in just the right spot and die. By your logic, doing anything is a waste of time.
Thanks for giving your time to teach us what’s needed to grow our business! This aligns with my goals. Quality is everything to me! I appreciate all you do!!
I was scammed by Amazon KDP Publications.
You are such a gem. Thank you for sharing such lovely educational and helpful content. The world needs more people like you. Keep shining!
absolutely LOVE your videos! clear, concise, and detailed instructions. I discovered you a few nights ago while struggling with Bookbolt. It was a a series of short how to for journals/notebooks. Really helped me. Thank you. Anyway, another great video. How about book cover creation? so critical. How do you design an amazing book cover besides just using a free image?
I definitely need to look into the research but interesting enough the niches that have low competition happen to be my area of interest. I want to do the Did you know animal books, I love mixing facts with art. And the trauma, anxiety, narc abuse, stroke all stuff I would love to do. I love helping others.
all great ideas!
Interest does not equal expertise.
Energi girl you are on here giving out some great advice! I’m taking notes. I took a semester off from school but feel as though I’ve just listened to a great lecture. I want to turn my book I wrote into an audible book. I published a book of poetry back in 2012 through create space. It didn’t sell a lot. It was only in paper back. I pulled it from Amazon last year because I want to revise it and put out as a kindle book and do an audiobook. I subscribed to book bolt but I have analysis paralysis 🤦🏿♀️ I’m stuck trying to figure out how to transfer my manuscript to book bolt. I’m going to watch some videos and just keep trying. I have a poetry video on my other channel where one of my poems went viral back in 2007 (yea I’m an old RUclips head 😂) it has 2 million views on it. I need to harness that in some way. I’m hoping once I do a actual audio book I can make a trailer for that channel and also do some live readings to promote the audio book and the kindle/paperback.
My goal is 20,000 a month 😁🙏🏾 Thank you so much for this incredible video! I’ll definitely be entering that contest!
currently I am making about $200- $500 selling coloring books, that's both through KDP and Etsy. I started in January so its only been 3 full months. I would love to make about $1,000 consistently. It would supplement my income well. I really enjoyed your video and the fact that you encourage people to not be lazy and to do actual work!! That is the exact mindset I have had going into it. To hopefully rise above the saturation just by having a better quality. I entered for the book bolt and have my fingers crossed !
you can TOTALLY scale that higher! Can you link me your book so i can check it out?
@@goodenergi I tried to leave a link, but I'm pretty sure youtube flagged it as spam. I ho by the author name moon child for coloring books on kdp.
i found them .. they are beautiful! I would suggest in the future doing better keyword research and having your title/subtitle be seo optimized.. you want to make sure people are actually searching for these. Look at the top sellers' titles and mirror those.
So Ethereal coloring book > Fairy fantasy greyscale coloring book (10K results)
Dark lullaby coloring book > Creepy coloring book (2K results)
Fairy Houses Coloring Book > This is good already. Id look at the negative reviews of other top performers and see how you can improve on them.
I also suggest using A+ content to stand out
@@goodenergi thank you! I only have done A+ content on one. I'm still figured it out.
@@WildEmpressDoes Etsy also print and ship?
I just have to make anottehr comment in the case you delete my last one.
Please, don't play with people health and also health advice... even if you just do book things, it doesn't mean you doesn't give people health advices. The simple people that watch your videos might be interested in the wrong way you show the... "way" and they might be harmed in a way or another. So, please don't give health advice and also don't tell me that you're watched by nurses or doctors. That's a so lame answer from a good healthy person. Watching does not mean approving or overwatching or w/e means in your mind. It just means, watching... Not approval.
Second, if you have a thought it's ok. But try to go all over the way with unhealthy people, talk to them and after that making a general conclusion, and after that you might... might have a real chance to say something about that particular illness... But talking about health books about different problems... you are going so wrong...
So, please stop doing that now! You are not a health adivser or a doctor! So, stop doing that!
Go see a doctor and we'll talk after that one session. If you're able to! Because in this state, I think you just make more harm than good! And I'm also sorry about that, again, because you're not genuine and from all your things just go for money not health issues.
Unfortunately, tik tok address this health thing, but youtube seemed to not doing that.
I hope in the nearest future they will do that. So, I please stop this nonsense and just go on your real thing. Not making fun of unhealthy people by "writing" unhealthy books...
Cheers!

Thanks for your video and by the way I am so proud of you from where you have started to see how you have grown on RUclips is astounding well I'm an empty nester who lost her job due to health problems and was looking to making an income online due to me not having any income at the moment and not able to fix my own vehicle and keep up with the demands for everyday living plus I am a new grandmother of two granddaughters and I'm not able to spoil them like I want to because finances or null and void at the moment so I would appreciate making at least $2,500 a month 😂😊 to start with on KDP and at the moment I'm not able to even purchase anything or an account thanks for your work and your videos 😊
People really shouldn't be making books on serious chronic illnesses/injuries unless they are qualified in the field!
My goal is 500 a month.
so easy tbh
Yeah....no, I wouldn't create books for stroke recovery or dementia unless you have the qualifications needed to create that kind of cognitive activity content.
numerous ppl have qualifications here
It's really good information. I made 2 lowcontent books, but the performance was very poor. So I started studying on RUclips, but I wish I had met ENERGI sooner, but I'm so glad I found out even now. Thank you for the good lecture and I will definitely make a book that sells well through market analysis.
hope this helps!
Keep going. Read customer feedback and adjust accordingly. Volume and quality are key. Very few authors make millions with one book. Some authors put out 200+. Just keep going and keep growing. You can do it.
Unfortunately they close my account and I don’t know why.. I was only signed up for 2 weeks
Totally agree about medium content books. That's what we do and focus on too. Also building brands around them.
Why are you sharing this info making more competition for yourself? It doesn't make sense unless the real reason you are doing this is for RUclips content and not because you really make that money yourself on KDP.
broke mentality
This video was very informative and motivational.! I have watched a couple videos on this topic and haven’t started yet but this one gives me more confidence and motivation to do it. I am a stay at home mom and my husband work full so I don’t really have a goal on how much to make because every lot bit helps . 1000 the first month would be amazing.Thank you !!!
Agreed. Just $100 to $500 a week would be life changing to me
What about back cover pocket fold? Is that an option within designer program? Since seeing you first time last week I’m stepping into mew territory and at 52 actually excited releasing my creative potential. I’m just about finishing my 1st project THOUGHT OCCURRED TO MYSELF, I like blank journals with those back pockets. Hoping you had seen that option somewhere. Thanks again for inspiring me!
Motivating af, I get stuck on second guessing my book isn’t good enough but it’s in the trial and error baby!! Gotta start somewhere. Thank you for the tips 🥰
yup ! might take you 5 or 10 to get a winner
I want at minimum $39k a month with ALL of my books in total.
Thanks for the info! By the way, your audio is amazing! 🎙❤
aww thank you!! yes this mic is crisppppp
@@goodenergi 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Hey, Energi, I have an idea for a book I don't think gets done often, if at all. I'm a writer and poet, and I have a cute 1000 word poem about a girl and a cat. I was going to originally publish it with traditional color art, but now I'm thinking that a black and white coloring book combined with the poetry might be better. I don't think that's even a common sort of product, and given the nature of the content, it would lend itself to sequels and a series of similar stories.
Hey girl ! Love your braids 😍
thank you! just got them :))
@@goodenergi can you do a life update ! Like are you still out the country ?? What do you think about social media platforms restructuring their incentives for creatives ? Do you do reels?!Wit all this bank stuff I’m thinking about take a leap 🤣🤣 out of here !
Have you reached your own financial goal yet? Have you crossed $1 Million across all your businesses? I'd like to reach 7k a month eventually.
Fantastic advice and great presentation!!!
super glad it was helpful!
Absolutely, I've got to do this!
can i sell local address book that have peoples email address & social media profile in it on kdp
&
can i put qr code inside of book, to let buyers download digital copy of book
I absolutely love this video from the knowledge your providing step by step, to your passion for helping others navigate and explore the possibilities of KDP book creating. I have always wanted to explore writing content and you have inspired me to dig deeper into making that a reality.
I want to make about $5,800 per month. Am creative, caring and a natural born healer. I'll make books about health, wealth and happiness. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
The stroke recovery books look enticing. I had a stroke and almost lost everything, I've made a strong recovery but I'm the minority when it comes to a good recovery. There's many stages to recovery and I possess the knowledge of what I went through personally and can share it and offer ideas that helped me to recover
I'm hoping to make $3K a month net profit to put towards my mortgage and pay it off in less than 5 years. Not trying to get rich but just being relieved of paying my mortgage will take a huge load of my shoulders. I just sent my coloring book to be published and eager to order the first copy to upload a flip thru on social media.
My goal amount is $50,000 ^-^
Thank you for this opportunity. I’d like to make $10k a month. I haven’t started yet as I have been doing research to get a better understanding of what to do and not to do.
I love your vidéo really, but i have one question : you down-niche in your example with safari coloring book.
OK the competition is lower but is this niche searched on amazon you don't talk about this in your vidéo... do you check after ?
you can check that my checking monthly searches using Amazon Suggestion Expander Pro (paid) and/or you can use google trends :) ive mentioned this in a previous video but forgot to mention here :)
My goal is $3,000 profit each month. Less than a year in and I’m no where near my goal, but I will get there. I’ve learned so many lessons along the way, that now I know my goal is not impossible.
My goal is to acquire at least 🤑1,100 per week to start off. You are really helpful! 🤗🙏 I will get up from the valleys of life. Thanks for the motivation and the energy, Energi. Peace and love.
only forward from here love
You were awesome! Thank you for the bluntness. I'm a newbie here and can't wait to get started and looking forward to your other videos!
You’re very honest, thank you very much. Listen to her!!!!! She’s extremely kind because she is telling you the truth - not many will do this because they want to succeed not you. Big bravo applaud.
You are a SUPER smart and sharp young lady who obviously has a lot of passion for what you do and who cares about the success of others. Thank you SO much for all these amazing tips! 👏🎉😊
OK I watched this again, and I do not do that. I wanted to make sure I got all your wonderful ideas. I am a writer transitioning from teaching on line. I have taught EFL/ESL and writing at all levels for more than 20 years, but I have only 4 students left. Some just cannot pay even $10 per hour and some just do not need me any more, because I taught them how to learn. I was looking at writing what I really want to write, but that will be slow and I need money now. At 78 getting a job is not realistic even on line, as many employers think that white hair is leaky brains. Besides, I have been working for myself for a very long time, and I am a good boss. So after discussing all of this with a couple of good friends, I have decided to write medium content and short content to sell the medium content while I spend extra time writing the longer textbooks and fiction and other stuff. Your ideas are gold. I will look to see how much bookbolt will cost me as it provides a complementary service to my publisher Rocket (Chesson is a good guy too). YOu have helped me make a better plan. Thank you. I will watch all of your videos and maybe I will try making some also later on, Mercy buckets.
If the type of book you do has only about 1,000 results, doesnt that mean no one is really searching for it? Which would mean less sales for you??
3000 per month
You just appeared on my recommended videos, thank you RUclips. Thank you for the practical and actionable reminders. 10K/month is my current goal. I'm approximately 15% there after ad spend. Thankful 🙏🏽
you got this!
My goal is 3000 per month for a start
super attainable!
Amazing video with lot of bright ideas! I do have six scifi books (novel…) already written, but stil stuck on the process of formatting etc. The idea is to up them as e-books. Target is to ramp up to 10-15K USD / mo, in a year.
As soon as I have them upped to KDP I will come back to share…
In the meantime will keep educating myself with your nice content!!!
Congrats
Really excited to try this method for my first coloring book
Loved this video. None of the bs. ❤ I’m just putting out 2 coloring books that I’ve spent almost every hour day and night on for 2 months. And now I feel good about the effort. Also you helped me with title/subtitle. Thank you! New sub.
Omg. Thank you for this topic!!! 🎉🎉❤❤Here because I’m looking for this exact type of content. I didn’t know what it was called … but you’re the first person I’ve heard use “medium content” book! I have an idea and I hope I can bring it to fruition with a mix of content beyond just a regular typical journal or planner.
Absolutely love your tips! Very valuable content :) thank you. I am just about to start with KDP & u gave me a lot to think of. Regards from Poland! :)
ur welcome mordka
Great video! Great insights! Thank you. My goal, to start off with, would be $1,000-$2,000 a month selling medium content books.
What a great video about Being Smart about the research but without Over thinking about it when it comes to targeting a marketable Niche!!
my goal would be $4k a month. Thanks for the energy ⚡ ⚡
totally doable
Please be intense ❤😅. Yes change of mindset!
My question is once the book is completed how do I actually sell it manufacturering a book is very expensive so how so I get it costumers unless it digital and not paper back
amazon does it
This video is truely useful and gives a realistic view on publishing an ebook! Rather then "this is a side hustle you can start without lifting a finger" lol - i'm lifting many fingers for this..
My goal is 20k/month I'm just starting, still on the market research phase so wish me luck!
Any tips to get the first reviews on KDP please?
Preach! Your video is the FIRST of all ones in a similar niche to REALLY click for me I am a marketing major with classes in color theory and it just hit that YESSS I can do this with my knowledge! Not one to write in all caps but thank you for igniting my passion for what I know I can do! New sub here. Love from Scotland. x
Thanks so much for this video. It was really informative. My goal is $10,000 a month. I am in the process of publishing my first coloring book on which I have spent the last 3 weeks on. Yes 😂 don't mind me, I am meticulous. I will love for you to help me review it when it is out, if that okay by you.
SO happy I came across this video- you're amazing! I'm in the process of writing my book so this was mega helpful! Thanks so much!
You have great videos that are very helpful. I learned a lot watching just a few of them so far! Thank you for making them. I would like to make an extra 3000 to 5000 a month to help with my mortgage and bills!
Write a real book and stop looking for shortcuts.
no thanks!
I'm blown away. You packed sooooo much value in such a short video. Amazing. My only regret is that I wasn't around to get a chance at one of those Bolt plans...LOL. I had to subscribe to get more... thank you!!
Thank you, Energi! I am new to all of this but I am very excited to get started after watching your video! This is right in my wheelhouse. I hope to grow my business in the first year so that I am making $2000/month. I can only foresee profits increasing after that as my skills in publishing and marketing improve. I look for to watching more of your videos!
Intelligent business minded women are simply the best. Do that thing, girl! You really are a motivating factor. Thank you for the knowledge. ❤
What a great video!!!! Thank you sooo much. You have been a God-send to me. I've been praying for the past 4 days for the answers you were providing. Another prayer to win.
Hi ENERGI, I really appreciate your videos and motivation. I have a few books on Amazon. How can I send you them to review?
i enjoyed your messages about being motivated and focused on creating quality content! Thank you for taking the time to explain this. Very good work, sus!!
Very wise insightful young lady and very kind offering this potentially life changing information for free. Thank you.🤗
