Low-Content KDP Books

What It Is

Publish functional, non-text-heavy books through Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing, word search books, log books, maintenance trackers, and similar niche-specific planners, using template-based design tools rather than writing full-length content, with Amazon handling printing, shipping, and customer service the same way it does for Merch on Demand.

The Pitch

Gottfried is candid that he tried full-length, text-based books and had little success with them, they took too long to create and weren't worth it for him, whereas low and medium-content books let him produce 5 to 10 finished books in a single day using template tools built for word searches, crosswords, and similar formats. Pricing works the same way as Merch on Demand: set a sale price, earn a few dollars in royalties per sale, and rely on Amazon's own traffic and volume rather than personal marketing.

Who It’s Best For

Someone with no graphic design or writing background who wants a genuinely fast production process, since Gottfried emphasizes you can go from never having made a book to having one finished within a single tutorial session.

The Truth (as we see it)

Gottfried frames this specifically as "an even easier way" than typical KDP advice, which usually focuses on longer books, based on his own personal experience of what worked and didn't for him over years of trying different formats. Signup requirements are concrete and checkable (free, 18+, English-speaking country, no application required, unlike Merch on Demand), and no specific revenue figures are given for this particular business model in the video.
