The part that resonates with me the most is staying consistent. It is the part I struggle with the most but as I have been more consistent, the more successful I have been. Thank you for sharing your journey with us!

Thank you for this! You really took your mastermind group to heart! I appreciate your candidness. I've been feeling so discouraged, especially when the family tells me I'm wasting my time. I'm not sure why sales are simply trickling in still at this point. I've looked at everything I can think of. But if more books mean more trickles, I don't have to be an overnight success. I'll gladly take lots of little trickles, lol. You are wise and you are helpful. Thanks for sharing!

Hi Rachel. Its hard to pinpoint just one take away that was the biggest. For me, I'd have to say it was your suggestion to find a mentor and/or peers to learn from. I can't do it all by myself :-)

"If you can't get rich quickly, then get rich slowly." I love that!

"Be consistent. Work on your business every day." That is my biggest takeaway. Thanks for sharing your journey, Rachel.

Thank you so much for the inspiration! As a 50+ woman currently in the job search market, I have become very discouraged and become convinced the "Age Thing" is very real. You have given me new hope to possibly make my own future!

As a 50+ woman you have a mountain of knowledge and wisdom to share with the world and you can absolutely create any future that you could possibly want for yourself! People need you and the value you have to offer! I used to feel "late to the party" as a woman in my 40s, but I've come to realize that I can still create the life I want NOW. I'm not 100 years old and I still have PLENTY of time to make my dreams come true. And so do you!

SAME!! I will be 52 in three weeks and I worked in retail hardware for 30 years. Our store closed due to covid, I collected unemployment and took a couple years off. I did small internet jobs here and there but generally enjoyed my time. (It was nice! For once in my life I had money to spend!). I need to go back to work now, I just appled to the local hardware store but I want something to do part time, and also something to build up that I can do if/when I can't work anymore outside the house. . I tried affiliate marketing and it just doesn't work out for me. I could really do this. Good luck to you!!!

Thank you for the realistic outlook of this business. I needed to hear this today. I’m a beginner and am starting to see a smidgen of success. Your voice of keep working it daily has been on my mind since starting a year and a half ago. I work full time and after hours with my job. It’s so hard to carve out time, but I am now going to make it happen regardless. Again, thank you.

Hi Rachel. Thanks for the encouraging video. Around 6 years to $1 million sounds good going to me. I'd be interested in what you see happening in the KDP low/ no content publishing industry over the next 5 years.

Your honesty, willingness to be vulnerable, and lack of bravado impress me. At 82 I am dipping my toes into residual income, specifically Kip. While I know much of what you said, having it verified through your journey gives me courage.

Excellent content - many thanks! Libby

What I love about your journey is that you identify what people need and serve them. All the while you are building wealth.

Thank you for that motivating video. I have created a few low content books on Amazon a few months back and they are just collecting cyber dust as of now. I look forward to investing in your course so I can move to the next level and become a champion like you!

I watched this video when I was earning less than. $1000 and now I am earning more than 10k monthly. I published all the content except fiction books. Thank you for inspiring me to know that is possible 🙏 Thank you, thank you, thank you 🙏 ❤

Hi Rachel, great video! Thank you for sharing your entire journey :) I LOVED it! Question: what do you foresee as the next big KDP trend? I have gone through low-content, and coloring books but I feel like those genres are waning. what are your thoughts about what is next? Thanks in advance!

What I find really hard to understand is how people don't see that there is no recipe for success. Things happens to different people in different ways: we are different, our background is different, the general conditions are different, our time is different and the same procedure cannot produce the same effects. This kind of mental short-seeing astonishes me every time.

Thank you for this! I have invested in so many courses but I am yet to get some revenue from them. I am also self-publishing low content books, I self-published 2 children's book and I have two other books about my own infertility journey and another on how to achieve your goals! Thank you for your ideas and being so real about your journey!

Thank you Rachel for educating us. Would you give an example of Low Content Books please?

My biggest takeaway is a small investment re-invested consistently gets results

@RachelHarrisonSund

YES! It's a lot like compound interest in the investment world. A little bit invested and then re-invested on a regular schedule created massive results over time-TIME being the key factor.

Hi Rachel, thank you for your videos. Appreciate the content you put out! It's awesome! One quick questions... if you find a niche you would like to dive into anfdthere isn't many products in that niche... would you creat multiple products in that niche then? Example: Instead of one coloring book in that niche... you create 3 or 4? Hope that makes sense. LOL Thanks so much!

I make $130k a year at my 9-5, have a 10 month old and I am trying to replace my income with my side hustles so I can be with him. I lost my first child and now I want the chance to be with my second baby more. Gotta find the time and the energy but I think I can do it!

As an author/publisher who does both "regular" books and low-content books, I'm curious: is your single best-selling book a low-content book or a regular fiction/non-fiction book?

This is so motivating, Thank you! I'm following you for about a week now and this video is coming at the right time, I'm just starting over with kdp I'm still confused with a big amount of information to handle in a short time in order to upload my first low content book and frustrated at the same time but this kind of video you posted is very helpful to keep the train on the rails, Thank you!! I know you're now focused on low contents books, but I'm interested to know where you found your ghosts writers who bring you this type of ebook quality content to have this kind of incomes All the best My dear : )

Sometimes the obvious is right there in front of us but it takes someone else (YOU) to show us. i.e., hiring a ghostwriter and then re-investing your profits. Consistent persistency! So inspiring!

We can presume your low content book earnings have reduced because you don't reveal earnings anymore (always a sign) do you think it's too saturated now?

Hi rachel, the only thing that is stopping me from taking a step forward is the fear of acc being terminated. How can i assure myself from acc being terminated...is it just a bad luck or lack of knowledge? Plz do enlighten me

Well only a few moments and you mentioned Tim Ferris book 4 Hour Work Week BUT sadly Amazon are saying due to copyright issues, it is not available in my country (UK). Umm - Well done Amazon

Do you still make low content books to sell, or do you only focus on KZread and your low content course?

How do you work with a VA?

Hope you can answer. I see a lot of people telling others to sell low content books, however on the first 15 pages amazon does not advertise these. Amazon sells an amazon basics journal that fully opens 180 degrees an option they do not give us if we post low content journals on kdp. THey've also removed isbns for low content. How does one get started in this if amazon has said it doesn't want these books cluttering the market? It seems like the only way to be seen is to dump more money than you earn into advertising. I have also seen the quality of kdp books and they don't seem very user friendly for journals. What advice can you offer?

Ok, but that gluten free meal plan sounds great. I hate trying to figure out what and how to eat 🤣. I always end up eating something I shouldn't then regretting it 😫

What was the word count on your first romance book?

Do you think we can still make 6 figures in low content books in 2022-2023?

My biggest takeaway? There are many positive lessons here, but I prefer to underline those which are so seldom mentioned, namely: pivot, zigzag, or stop beating a dead horse. I always see the same replies from KZreadrs: 'Keep at it'; 'You can do it'; 'Eventually you will be successful'. And while this can be very true, sometimes the smart thing is to stop beating that dead horse, may be we are not good at this; we have no $ to invest in help or ads; we are not willing to work that hard at it, just hoping for something quick and lucrative.... It is very nice to encourage people as you do as well, but also, it is good to remind us there is no more marrow in that old bone. And may be all it takes is to pivot as you say. These points are simply never mentioned in other videos. In any case, you always look so perfect and organized, it is nice to unravel your journey and stumbling blocks so we can all relate.

How did those poor ghost writers make any money. Lol. They are literally writing books for a hundred bucks? What in the heck.

I have some super duper rich patients and they say to be honest I timed it right and got lucky. Of course they saw it and worked day in and day out but they said anybody who tells you they knew x would work they are lying. But they tired x and y and z and h and h and s.

Rachel, thank you for that. Could you cover off what networks to use to get your books seen? We are all looking for sales and reviews to give us the step up, just wondered if you had some advice on that ( I’m off to look at your ‘Quit’ video to make sure I’m not there yet 🫣😂 .
