How To Make Money Making Children's Books (& More) On Amazon, Even If You're Not An Author or Illustrator","description":"Hey Rainmakers! It\u2019s Chelsey and Stephen, and if you\u2019ve ever dreamed of writing a children\u2019s book, creating a journal, or making money on Amazon without being a professional author or illustrator\u2014this episode is your sign. We just launched our second children\u2019s book (woohoo!) and wanted to share exactly how we did it, step by step, using Amazon KDP. This is hands-off income that ANYONE can do\u2014yes, even you! In today\u2019s convo, we break down the misconceptions that stop people from ever starting\u2014like thinking you need to be creative, tech-savvy, or have a huge budget. Spoiler: you don\u2019t. From coloring books to scissor skill books, journals to productivity planners, we explain how low-content books are the sweet spot for busy moms and creative dreamers alike. We even share how a 12-year-old inspired us at a conference with her DIY coloring book! We walk through how Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) works\u2014basically, Amazon prints and ships your book on demand, so there\u2019s no need to buy inventory upfront. Whether you\u2019re using Canva, hiring help on Fiverr, or using AI tools like ChatGPT to help write the story, there are endless ways to create beautiful books quickly and easily. We also dive into two types of creators: the passion project folks (we see you legacy-builders!) and the strategic sellers who want to make real income. For those in the second group, Stephen breaks down how to use keywords, categories, and white label content to build a product that people are actually searching for. PLUS\u2014we share the resource we love that teaches this whole process in-depth (linked below!). So if you\u2019ve ever said, \u201cI want to make a book someday,\u201d let this be your wake-up call. You can do this\u2014and we\u2019re cheering you on every step of the way.
