Desktop publishing makes it easy for authors to publish their books and writings, and it’s also a great way for marketers to diversify their product portfolios.
since amazon’s kdp program began, more and more sellers have made the partial or full transition to self-publishing, and while there are many ways to do this, the most common way for merchants to sell their books is by creating low-content books.

luckily for you, here are 14 ideas to start creating your own low content books:
- lined notebooks. These are classic lined notebooks used for writing and taking notes. creating a template for these products is really easy and you can replicate this for any kind of notebook you want. another popular variation is grid notebook pages, where each page is a grid made up of small squares.
- journals. diaries act as confidants and therapy, but more on the daily tracking side of things, and they come in all different sizes and shapes; some are lined, some are grid style, and there are even blank journals that allow for both writing and drawing. each time you create these, think about making them a gift for whoever receives them.
- journals. Like journals, journals are also a therapeutic aid to relieve thoughts, feelings or simply to keep track of what is happening in life and reflect on it. some publishers use a variety of quotes to further entice buyers, and we wholeheartedly agree.
- coloring book. One of the most popular low-content books comes in the form of coloring books, both for children and adults. For children, cartoon animals and characters are the way to go, while adult coloring books prefer a more mature drawing style. examples of graphics for adult coloring books are mandala designs, plants, flowers, and abstract elements.
- notebooks. logbooks are used to keep track of important events and are usually filled daily. they are mainly used for professional purposes, but it is also common to see physical activity diaries, among other types.
- physical activity diary. These are amazing gifts any time of year. motivational books are always a great idea.
- food tracker. can delve into different niches based on different types of food or nutritional needs.
- tracking weight loss goals. There are many variations on weight loss trackers, some based on goals and some based on charts, for example.
- bullet journal. bullet journals are very flexible as they can take almost any form. look for templates on platforms like pinterest.
- calendars. also seen as planners, calendar books are great as a way to organize your days or activities.
- sketchbooks. perfect for the artist soul who just needs a blank canvas. sketchbooks are among the easiest to make, as they generally don’t require any content.
