Find and plan low-content books to sell on Amazon KDP
Niche ideas for logbooks, journals, and planners, with page layouts, interior specs, listing keywords, and a check against crowded markets.
The prompt
Help me find and develop low-content book ideas (logbooks, journals, planners) to sell through Amazon KDP.
Niches or interests I know well: [e.g. "beekeeping, fishing, home brewing, nursing"]
Formats I'm open to: [logbooks / journals / planners / trackers / workbooks]
Design tools I have: [e.g. "Canva", "Affinity Publisher", "none yet"]
Time and budget: [DETAILS]
What I've published so far: [titles and results, or "nothing yet"]
Give me:
1. 10 book ideas in specific niches where buyers have a real recording need (e.g. maintenance, health tracking, hobby records, professional logs). For each: the buyer, why they need it, and what would make it better than generic versions.
2. How to check demand and competition myself on Amazon: what to look for in search results, bestseller ranks, review counts, and review complaints. Don't state sales figures; I'll check them.
3. For my top 3 ideas, a detailed interior: sections, page layouts with the fields on each page, how many pages, and extras (instructions page, reference charts, index).
4. Production specs to check: trim size, page count, paper type, margins and bleed, and cover dimensions. Mark these [CONFIRM] against current KDP guidelines.
5. Listing basics: title and subtitle formulas, 7 keyword ideas per book, and a description outline.
6. A plan to build a series or brand in one niche rather than random one-offs.
Avoid ideas that copy trademarked names, characters, or another seller's design, and follow KDP's content quality rules on low-content books.
Highlighted [brackets] are blanks to replace with your own details.
