What is Amazon KDP?
Amazon KDP is a way to self-publish your eBooks, paperback and hardback books using their printing service. It’s free to upload to their site; they do all of the printing and deliveries, all you need to do is upload your interior and cover for each book, in high-quality PDF format.
There is money to be made doing this; in fact, lots of people make an excellent living by creating and selling low-content books, such as simple notebooks, colouring books, planners and so-on. But there is a ton of competition, so it’s not really for you if you are not prepared to put in the work required to get your listings noticed.
Work involves, among other things, keyword and competition research, and these can change on a regular basis, so it’s an ongoing thing. However, it’s free to upload, so what have you got to lose!

Thanks for your post, Sophie. I’ve never dabbled with a Bullet Journal. Does it take up a lot of time to design it?
It is so addictive 😂
They can take hours if you design intracate spreads and use paints and colours or even scrapbook designs. But my spreads are nice and simple and quick. I lose interest otherwise!
Such a good warning, thanks for highlighting. I’m so pleased you got sorted!
I do understand to an extent, but as a consumer I still like to see inside any notebook – plain or otherwise. I imagine this well have an impact on sales for creators.
I agree, but at least this only applies to new uploads, old ones should still have the look inside feature., so creators don’t have to go through potentially hundreds of books to add A+ content.
