Low Content Books
Low content books are books that don’t require much writing or content creation. These can include journals, notebooks, planners, activity books, and coloring books. The key to this side hustle is designing the layout and selling it on platforms like Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) or Etsy. You can create these books using simple design tools and sell them to a large audience without the need to manage inventory or shipping, as platforms like Amazon take care of printing and shipping on demand.
EXAMPLE
A South African parent could create a planner or goal-setting journal with motivational quotes and simple designs. After publishing it on Amazon, every time someone buys the book, Amazon prints and ships it for you, and you earn a commission.
IS IT GOOD FOR SOUTH AFRICANS?
Yes, low content books are great for South Africans. This side hustle allows you to earn passive income in USD or other currencies, and platforms like Amazon KDP make it easy to publish and sell globally. You don’t need a big investment or inventory, just creativity and a computer with design software.
IS IT GOOD FOR PARENTS?
Yes, low content books are perfect for parents. Once you create the books, they can be sold on autopilot. This allows parents to earn money without needing to spend hours on active work, and they can work on this project during their spare time while managing family duties. It's a flexible side hustle that doesn't interfere with family life.
