1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:01,440
Hey everyone, welcome back.

2
00:00:01,440 --> 00:00:04,200
Today we're diving into something pretty cool,

3
00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:07,720
passive in-carrying ideas with low content books on Amazon.

4
00:00:07,720 --> 00:00:09,440
Oh yeah, those are getting pretty popular.

5
00:00:09,440 --> 00:00:11,000
They are, think journals?

6
00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:11,840
Yeah.

7
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:12,680
You know, notebooks?

8
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,120
Maybe even like coloring books.

9
00:00:14,120 --> 00:00:16,000
Yeah, you see those everywhere now.

10
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:18,720
Seriously, and people are actually making a decent

11
00:00:18,720 --> 00:00:20,800
side hustle from this stuff.

12
00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:23,720
Checking out this YouTube video by Monique Hinton.

13
00:00:23,720 --> 00:00:24,960
Journey with the Hintons?

14
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:26,200
I think I've seen that channel.

15
00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:27,120
That's the one.

16
00:00:27,120 --> 00:00:28,880
And she shares some really great tips

17
00:00:28,880 --> 00:00:31,120
on how to get started even if you're, you know,

18
00:00:31,120 --> 00:00:32,440
totally new to this whole thing.

19
00:00:32,440 --> 00:00:33,680
Okay, I'm intrigued.

20
00:00:33,680 --> 00:00:35,360
So what's the big secret?

21
00:00:35,360 --> 00:00:38,400
Well, it's not just about slapping some blank pages

22
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:40,120
together and calling it a day.

23
00:00:40,120 --> 00:00:41,320
There's an art to it.

24
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:44,280
And Monique breaks down how to do it right.

25
00:00:44,280 --> 00:00:46,240
So it's more strategic than people think.

26
00:00:46,240 --> 00:00:47,080
Exactly.

27
00:00:47,080 --> 00:00:48,640
And one of the first things she talks about

28
00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:51,280
is this platform book bolt.

29
00:00:51,280 --> 00:00:52,120
Have you ever used that?

30
00:00:52,120 --> 00:00:53,160
I have actually.

31
00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:54,840
It's pretty much your one stop shop

32
00:00:54,840 --> 00:00:57,240
for creating these low content books.

33
00:00:57,240 --> 00:00:59,480
Templates covers, you name it.

34
00:00:59,480 --> 00:01:01,600
I was gonna say, it seems like they have everything

35
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:03,720
you need to make a professional looking book.

36
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:06,240
Even if you're not a designer or tech expert,

37
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:08,480
which I am definitely not.

38
00:01:08,480 --> 00:01:10,080
Uh-huh, me neither.

39
00:01:10,080 --> 00:01:12,880
But Monique actually shows you step-by-step

40
00:01:12,880 --> 00:01:14,120
how she uses it.

41
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,000
In the video, she creates a prayer journal from scratch.

42
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:17,840
Oh, wow.

43
00:01:17,840 --> 00:01:19,720
So you can really see how it all comes together.

44
00:01:19,720 --> 00:01:20,560
It's pretty cool.

45
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:21,920
She designs the cover,

46
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:23,640
customizes the interior pages.

47
00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:25,480
It's really inspiring to watch.

48
00:01:25,480 --> 00:01:28,360
Okay, so that's a good example of one of her tips, right?

49
00:01:28,360 --> 00:01:29,880
Don't try to reinvent the wheel.

50
00:01:29,880 --> 00:01:32,040
Start with something that's already popular,

51
00:01:32,040 --> 00:01:33,280
like prayer journals.

52
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:34,600
Yeah, or dream journals

53
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:37,400
or those gratitude journals everyone's into.

54
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,360
Manifestation journals are huge too.

55
00:01:39,360 --> 00:01:40,680
It's all about tapping into

56
00:01:40,680 --> 00:01:42,440
what people are already looking for.

57
00:01:42,440 --> 00:01:43,280
Makes sense.

58
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,080
Okay, so let's say you've created this amazing journal

59
00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:47,960
or whatever using book bolt.

60
00:01:47,960 --> 00:01:49,120
Now, how do you actually sell it?

61
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:51,120
Well, that's where Amazon KDP comes in.

62
00:01:51,120 --> 00:01:52,720
It's free to create an account

63
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:55,080
and they have tons of payment options.

64
00:01:55,080 --> 00:01:56,800
Direct deposit, wire transfer,

65
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,240
even checks if you like it, old school.

66
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:00,920
Checks, wow, throwing a bell.

67
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:02,680
Okay, so you upload your book

68
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:04,280
and then people just start buying it.

69
00:02:04,280 --> 00:02:05,120
Well, not quite.

70
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:06,760
There's a bit more to it.

71
00:02:06,760 --> 00:02:10,360
Monique really stresses the importance of research.

72
00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:13,000
You need to figure out how to make your book stand out.

73
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:14,840
Research, okay, I'm listening.

74
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:15,920
Like what kind of research?

75
00:02:15,920 --> 00:02:18,840
So get this book bolt has this research tab.

76
00:02:18,840 --> 00:02:20,680
You can see what's selling well,

77
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:23,560
what keywords people are using on Amazon and Google.

78
00:02:23,560 --> 00:02:25,680
It's all about understanding the market.

79
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:27,120
Sounds pretty powerful.

80
00:02:27,120 --> 00:02:30,720
So what exactly is Monique doing with this research tab?

81
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:32,280
Okay, so one of the coolest things

82
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,200
is this feature called cloud.

83
00:02:34,200 --> 00:02:36,200
You type in a category like prayer journal

84
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:38,720
and it shows you the top 10 bestsellers.

85
00:02:38,720 --> 00:02:39,560
Oh, wow.

86
00:02:39,560 --> 00:02:40,880
So you can see what's already working

87
00:02:40,880 --> 00:02:42,280
and get ideas for your own book.

88
00:02:42,280 --> 00:02:43,120
Exactly.

89
00:02:43,120 --> 00:02:45,400
She even talks about using a top selling title

90
00:02:45,400 --> 00:02:47,480
and subtitle as inspiration,

91
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,720
but it's not just about copying, you know.

92
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,720
Right, it's about finding your own unique angle.

93
00:02:51,720 --> 00:02:53,360
Yeah, and that's where keywords come in.

94
00:02:53,360 --> 00:02:55,080
Oh yeah, I remember she talked about that,

95
00:02:55,080 --> 00:02:55,920
how important they are.

96
00:02:55,920 --> 00:02:57,560
They're basically the bridge between

97
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:00,160
what people are searching for and your book.

98
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:01,160
And guess what?

99
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,360
Book bolt has a keywords tool too.

100
00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:06,160
No way, so it tells you which keywords to use.

101
00:03:06,160 --> 00:03:07,000
Pretty much.

102
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:10,080
It analyzes search volume on Amazon and Google

103
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:11,840
and suggests the best ones.

104
00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:13,520
And you know on Amazon KDP,

105
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:16,320
you can use up to seven keywords for each book.

106
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:17,400
Okay, good to know.

107
00:03:17,400 --> 00:03:19,120
So you're saying we should use all seven?

108
00:03:19,120 --> 00:03:19,960
Definitely.

109
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:22,880
Monique suggests targeting less competitive categories

110
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:24,920
to help your book rank higher.

111
00:03:24,920 --> 00:03:26,600
Mm, less competitive.

112
00:03:26,600 --> 00:03:29,480
So instead of listing your dog walking journal

113
00:03:29,480 --> 00:03:32,200
under journals, you'd put it under dog supplies.

114
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:33,160
Now you're getting it.

115
00:03:33,160 --> 00:03:35,120
You'll be competing with fewer books

116
00:03:35,120 --> 00:03:37,160
and reaching a more targeted audience.

117
00:03:37,160 --> 00:03:38,880
Okay, that's a really good tip.

118
00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:39,720
So we've got the book,

119
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:42,240
we've done the research, keywords are all set.

120
00:03:42,240 --> 00:03:43,520
What about pricing?

121
00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,800
How do you decide how much to charge?

122
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,120
Another great question.

123
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:50,000
Monique says competitor analysis is key.

124
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,280
Look at similar books and see what they're going for.

125
00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:53,760
But she also talks about this thing called

126
00:03:53,760 --> 00:03:55,640
the psychology of pricing.

127
00:03:55,640 --> 00:03:57,680
Psychology of pricing, what's that all about?

128
00:03:57,680 --> 00:03:59,960
It's how people perceive value.

129
00:03:59,960 --> 00:04:02,960
Even a few sense difference can change everything.

130
00:04:02,960 --> 00:04:05,680
She suggests pricing a little lower than competitors

131
00:04:05,680 --> 00:04:07,520
to make your book seem like a better deal.

132
00:04:07,520 --> 00:04:08,720
So it's kind of a mind game.

133
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:09,560
In a way.

134
00:04:09,560 --> 00:04:11,680
But it's really about understanding buyer behavior.

135
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:15,800
And speaking of behavior, have you thought about reviews?

136
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:16,920
Oh gosh, yes.

137
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,400
Reviews can make or break you online.

138
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,160
But how do you get those first few reviews

139
00:04:21,160 --> 00:04:23,000
when you're just starting out?

140
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:24,960
Monique has a simple solution.

141
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:26,640
Reach out to your friends and family.

142
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:29,400
Get those initial reviews to build credibility.

143
00:04:29,400 --> 00:04:30,400
Oh, that makes sense.

144
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:31,560
Okay, so you've got some reviews,

145
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,640
you're ready to launch.

146
00:04:32,640 --> 00:04:34,040
What happens next?

147
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,520
You submit your book to Amazon,

148
00:04:35,520 --> 00:04:38,680
which usually takes about 72 hours for approval.

149
00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:40,640
One thing she mentions is that the printing cost

150
00:04:40,640 --> 00:04:42,320
is deducted from your sales.

151
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:46,160
For her prayer journal, it was like 2.5 per copy.

152
00:04:46,160 --> 00:04:49,320
Oh right, so Amazon prints it on demand.

153
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,600
And then they take their cut and you get the rest.

154
00:04:51,600 --> 00:04:53,000
What's the royalty breakdown like?

155
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,360
Typically, 60% for the seller, 40% for Amazon.

156
00:04:56,360 --> 00:04:59,080
So if you're selling at say 799 like Monique does,

157
00:04:59,080 --> 00:05:01,000
you're left with a pretty decent profit.

158
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:01,840
Not bad.

159
00:05:01,840 --> 00:05:03,560
Okay, so we've talked a lot about BookBolt.

160
00:05:03,560 --> 00:05:06,400
But how much does this magical platform actually cost?

161
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:07,680
They have two plans.

162
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:12,160
Newbie for 9x99 a month and Pro for 19.99.

163
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:13,520
Monique recommends the Pro plan

164
00:05:13,520 --> 00:05:14,440
because it has more features

165
00:05:14,440 --> 00:05:16,880
like making coloring books and Sudoku books.

166
00:05:16,880 --> 00:05:17,720
Gotcha.

167
00:05:17,720 --> 00:05:21,160
You pay a monthly fee to use all of BookBolt's tools,

168
00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,680
but is there a way to try it out first?

169
00:05:23,680 --> 00:05:24,520
You bet.

170
00:05:24,520 --> 00:05:27,440
They offer a three day free trial for both plans.

171
00:05:27,440 --> 00:05:31,080
Plus, Monique has a discount code JourneyWithTheHintons

172
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:32,800
for an extra 20% off.

173
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:35,880
Sweet, so you can really test it out before committing.

174
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,800
I have to say, I'm pretty impressed.

175
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,200
What are your thoughts so far?

176
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,120
I'm really struck by how Monique

177
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,600
makes this whole process seem so doable.

178
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:45,040
It's not just about being creative,

179
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:46,120
but having a strategy.

180
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,680
Totally, you really have to be intentional about every step.

181
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:49,520
Exactly.

182
00:05:49,520 --> 00:05:50,840
It's about using the right tools

183
00:05:50,840 --> 00:05:52,120
and understanding the market.

184
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:54,880
That's how you build a sustainable passive income stream.

185
00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:56,880
This is all super fascinating.

186
00:05:56,880 --> 00:05:59,240
But I also want to talk about the bigger picture.

187
00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:01,320
Like what is this whole low content book thing

188
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,560
tell us about what people are looking for today?

189
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:04,400
That's a great point

190
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,240
and definitely something worth discussing.

191
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:07,280
I'm ready to dive into that,

192
00:06:07,280 --> 00:06:08,440
but maybe we should pause here

193
00:06:08,440 --> 00:06:10,480
and come back to it in the next segment.

194
00:06:10,480 --> 00:06:11,520
You're right.

195
00:06:11,520 --> 00:06:12,800
It's a lot to think about.

196
00:06:12,800 --> 00:06:15,240
Let's give everyone a chance to digest all this info

197
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:18,400
and then we'll come back and explore the bigger picture.

198
00:06:18,400 --> 00:06:20,720
So we just went through like a ton of information

199
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:22,560
about creating those low content books,

200
00:06:22,560 --> 00:06:23,560
selling them on Amazon.

201
00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:24,400
I know, right?

202
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:25,240
It's a lot.

203
00:06:25,240 --> 00:06:26,080
It is.

204
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:26,920
But don't worry,

205
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,480
that's the whole point of these deep dyes.

206
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:30,280
We break it all down step by step.

207
00:06:30,280 --> 00:06:31,760
Make it easy to digest.

208
00:06:31,760 --> 00:06:32,800
Exactly.

209
00:06:32,800 --> 00:06:33,640
Now before the break,

210
00:06:33,640 --> 00:06:35,280
we were starting to talk about the bigger picture.

211
00:06:35,280 --> 00:06:37,440
Like what is this whole trend to tell us

212
00:06:37,440 --> 00:06:40,360
about what people are looking for in today's world?

213
00:06:40,360 --> 00:06:41,560
Yeah, that's a good question

214
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,560
because it's easy to get caught up

215
00:06:43,560 --> 00:06:45,560
in the technical stuff,

216
00:06:45,560 --> 00:06:47,160
but stepping back is important too.

217
00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:48,360
I think so too.

218
00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:49,640
And what I find really interesting

219
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:52,880
is that this isn't just some fad, right?

220
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,720
Like it seems like these books,

221
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,040
especially journals,

222
00:06:56,040 --> 00:06:58,200
are speaking to a deeper need that people have.

223
00:06:58,200 --> 00:06:59,120
Definitely.

224
00:06:59,120 --> 00:07:02,080
In a world that's so digital, so fast paced,

225
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:03,160
you know, it makes sense

226
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,560
that people are drawn to something tangible,

227
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:07,880
something like a physical notary to write in.

228
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,720
It's almost like a way to unplug,

229
00:07:09,720 --> 00:07:12,280
to disconnect from all the screens

230
00:07:12,280 --> 00:07:14,680
and notifications we're constantly bombarded with.

231
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:15,520
Totally.

232
00:07:15,520 --> 00:07:17,440
It's like creating a little sanctuary,

233
00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:20,880
a space where you can just be present and reflect.

234
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:22,080
I love that sanctuary.

235
00:07:22,080 --> 00:07:23,440
That's a perfect way to describe it.

236
00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:24,480
And I think that's why we're seeing

237
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:28,000
so many different types of journals popping up,

238
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:30,640
gratitude journals, manifestation journals,

239
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:31,840
dream journals.

240
00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:34,160
It's all about self-discovery and personal growth.

241
00:07:34,160 --> 00:07:36,000
Yeah, people are craving that.

242
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,200
And it's not just individuals either.

243
00:07:38,200 --> 00:07:40,240
I've even heard of companies using journaling

244
00:07:40,240 --> 00:07:42,240
in their employee wellness programs.

245
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:43,080
Really?

246
00:07:43,080 --> 00:07:43,920
That's interesting.

247
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,320
It's becoming more common because companies are realizing

248
00:07:46,320 --> 00:07:48,280
that mental well-being is so important

249
00:07:48,280 --> 00:07:50,240
for productivity and creativity.

250
00:07:50,240 --> 00:07:51,080
That makes sense.

251
00:07:51,080 --> 00:07:53,200
It's like you were saying about creating a sanctuary.

252
00:07:53,200 --> 00:07:57,360
It's about giving employees a healthy outlet

253
00:07:57,360 --> 00:07:59,880
to express themselves to process their emotions.

254
00:07:59,880 --> 00:08:00,720
Exactly.

255
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:02,760
And it helps them feel more connected to their work

256
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:03,600
and to their colleagues.

257
00:08:03,600 --> 00:08:05,920
It's not just about, you know, churning out work.

258
00:08:05,920 --> 00:08:08,280
It's about nurturing the whole person.

259
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:09,120
Right.

260
00:08:09,120 --> 00:08:10,720
And I think that ties into this broader shift

261
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,040
we're seeing towards mindfulness and emotional intelligence

262
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:13,880
in the workplace.

263
00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:14,760
Absolutely.

264
00:08:14,760 --> 00:08:18,120
Soft skills are becoming just as important as hard skills.

265
00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:19,760
It's not just about what you know.

266
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:21,680
It's about how you manage yourself,

267
00:08:21,680 --> 00:08:23,120
how you interact with others.

268
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:25,480
Yeah, self-awareness, emotional regulation,

269
00:08:25,480 --> 00:08:27,960
all that stuff is becoming really valuable.

270
00:08:27,960 --> 00:08:30,240
So it seems like low-content books

271
00:08:30,240 --> 00:08:32,360
are tapping into something much bigger

272
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:36,360
than just a niche market for, you know, artsy people.

273
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:37,200
Definitely.

274
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:39,520
It's part of a wider societal movement

275
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,880
towards self-care and well-being.

276
00:08:41,880 --> 00:08:44,440
And as this trend continues to grow,

277
00:08:44,440 --> 00:08:46,800
I'm curious to see how technology will play a role.

278
00:08:46,800 --> 00:08:48,880
Like those interactive journals you see

279
00:08:48,880 --> 00:08:51,800
or digital platforms for sharing your reflections.

280
00:08:51,800 --> 00:08:52,640
Exactly.

281
00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:54,440
We're moving beyond the traditional pen and paper

282
00:08:54,440 --> 00:08:58,040
format into a whole new realm of digital self-expression.

283
00:08:58,040 --> 00:08:59,760
It's pretty exciting to think about.

284
00:08:59,760 --> 00:09:01,320
But it also raises some questions, right?

285
00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,720
Like what about data privacy and security?

286
00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:05,000
That's a huge concern.

287
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:06,680
If we're sharing our most personal thoughts

288
00:09:06,680 --> 00:09:08,640
and feelings online, we need to make sure

289
00:09:08,640 --> 00:09:10,600
that information is protected.

290
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:11,560
Absolutely.

291
00:09:11,560 --> 00:09:14,160
We need to have open and honest conversations

292
00:09:14,160 --> 00:09:17,800
about data ownership consent and the potential risks involved.

293
00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:19,440
It's about finding that balance right,

294
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:20,840
the benefits of technology,

295
00:09:20,840 --> 00:09:23,200
with the importance of protecting our privacy.

296
00:09:23,200 --> 00:09:24,320
I think you nailed it.

297
00:09:24,320 --> 00:09:27,080
Wow, we have covered so much in this deep dive.

298
00:09:27,080 --> 00:09:29,000
From the practical stuff like creating the books

299
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,960
to these bigger social and technological implications,

300
00:09:31,960 --> 00:09:33,840
it's amazing how it all connects.

301
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:34,680
It really is.

302
00:09:34,680 --> 00:09:36,080
It all started with a simple question,

303
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,040
how to create low-content books.

304
00:09:38,040 --> 00:09:39,440
But now we're having a conversation

305
00:09:39,440 --> 00:09:42,400
about what they represent, what they tell us about ourselves

306
00:09:42,400 --> 00:09:43,640
and the world around us.

307
00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:45,080
That's what I love about these deep dives.

308
00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:46,720
You never know where they'll lead you.

309
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:49,960
So what's your final takeaway for our listeners today?

310
00:09:49,960 --> 00:09:52,520
My final thought is this, the rise of low-content books.

311
00:09:52,520 --> 00:09:54,000
It's not just a fleeting trend.

312
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,920
It's a reflection of something deeper,

313
00:09:56,920 --> 00:10:00,080
a human need for self-expression, connection,

314
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,320
and a sense of agency in a world that

315
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:03,800
can often feel overwhelming.

316
00:10:03,800 --> 00:10:04,800
Wow, that's beautiful.

317
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:05,560
I love that.

318
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:07,640
It's an invitation for all of us.

319
00:10:07,640 --> 00:10:09,280
Whether we're creating these books

320
00:10:09,280 --> 00:10:11,880
or using them to tap into that need

321
00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:16,000
to nurture our creativity and create space for reflection.

322
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:17,920
I couldn't have said it better myself.

323
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:21,360
Sometimes the simplest things, a blank page, a pen,

324
00:10:21,360 --> 00:10:24,240
a quiet moment, they can be the most powerful tools

325
00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:26,440
for personal growth and connection.

326
00:10:26,440 --> 00:10:28,840
And hey, maybe you'll even discover a new passionate side

327
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:29,920
hustle along the way.

328
00:10:29,920 --> 00:10:30,760
Exactly.

329
00:10:30,760 --> 00:10:32,520
That's the beauty of exploration.

330
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:34,360
You never know where it might lead.

331
00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:36,640
So to our listeners, I encourage you to check out Monique's

332
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:37,760
YouTube video.

333
00:10:37,760 --> 00:10:40,840
It's packed with practical tips and real-world examples

334
00:10:40,840 --> 00:10:43,480
that will definitely inspire you to start creating.

335
00:10:43,480 --> 00:10:45,240
But as you embark on this journey,

336
00:10:45,240 --> 00:10:47,480
think about what expert speaker just said.

337
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,600
What are those deeper needs that people are searching for?

338
00:10:49,600 --> 00:10:52,080
What kind of space are they trying to create for themselves?

339
00:10:52,080 --> 00:10:54,680
Yeah, by understanding those underlying motivations,

340
00:10:54,680 --> 00:10:57,560
you can create something truly meaningful and impactful.

341
00:10:57,560 --> 00:10:59,680
It's about going beyond the surface level, right?

342
00:10:59,680 --> 00:11:00,280
Yeah.

343
00:11:00,280 --> 00:11:02,520
And really connecting with the heart of what

344
00:11:02,520 --> 00:11:04,400
makes these books so appealing.

345
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:05,240
Exactly.

346
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,120
And I think that's what makes this whole conversation so

347
00:11:07,120 --> 00:11:07,760
fascinating.

348
00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,520
It's not just about making money.

349
00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:11,240
It's about making a difference.

350
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,240
It's funny how we started talking about making some extra cash.

351
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:14,600
Right.

352
00:11:14,600 --> 00:11:16,440
And now we're having this deep conversation

353
00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,560
about self-discovery and journaling.

354
00:11:18,560 --> 00:11:19,000
Right.

355
00:11:19,000 --> 00:11:21,440
It's like those simple notebooks and journals.

356
00:11:21,440 --> 00:11:26,280
They can unlock these really profound parts of being human.

357
00:11:26,280 --> 00:11:27,560
Absolutely.

358
00:11:27,560 --> 00:11:30,120
And it makes me think about Monique's advice

359
00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:31,800
to tap into trends.

360
00:11:31,800 --> 00:11:33,480
It's not just about what's popular,

361
00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,640
but understanding why it's popular.

362
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:37,280
What need is it fulfilling?

363
00:11:37,280 --> 00:11:37,880
Yeah.

364
00:11:37,880 --> 00:11:38,760
That's so important.

365
00:11:38,760 --> 00:11:39,960
Like we were saying before, people

366
00:11:39,960 --> 00:11:43,560
are craving ways to disconnect from the digital world

367
00:11:43,560 --> 00:11:46,320
and connect with themselves in a more meaningful way.

368
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:47,000
Right.

369
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:48,840
And if you can create a product that really

370
00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,880
speaks to that need, you're not just selling a book.

371
00:11:51,880 --> 00:11:53,600
You're offering something much more valuable.

372
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:54,280
Exactly.

373
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:56,360
It's about adding value to people's lives,

374
00:11:56,360 --> 00:11:57,880
helping them grow and evolve.

375
00:11:57,880 --> 00:12:00,360
That's what makes this whole low content book trend

376
00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:01,320
so fascinating.

377
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:02,520
I love that.

378
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:05,240
It's not just about making money, but making a difference.

379
00:12:05,240 --> 00:12:05,640
Right.

380
00:12:05,640 --> 00:12:08,800
It's like that saying, do what you love and the money will follow.

381
00:12:08,800 --> 00:12:12,160
If you're passionate about helping people express themselves,

382
00:12:12,160 --> 00:12:14,040
this could be a great path for you.

383
00:12:14,040 --> 00:12:15,120
Totally.

384
00:12:15,120 --> 00:12:15,720
And who knows?

385
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:18,120
Maybe you'll even discover something new about yourself

386
00:12:18,120 --> 00:12:19,360
along the way.

387
00:12:19,360 --> 00:12:21,360
Just the act of creating these journals,

388
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:25,080
thinking about what people need, that can be really enriching.

389
00:12:25,080 --> 00:12:25,920
That's a good point.

390
00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:28,800
It's not just about the final product, but the journey.

391
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:30,600
Well, we've covered so much today

392
00:12:30,600 --> 00:12:34,800
from those book bolt features to the deeper meaning of it all.

393
00:12:34,800 --> 00:12:36,160
It's been quite the journey.

394
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:36,920
It really has.

395
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:39,000
And it all came from just one YouTube video.

396
00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:39,760
It's amazing.

397
00:12:39,760 --> 00:12:40,480
It is.

398
00:12:40,480 --> 00:12:42,960
So to our listeners, we hope this deep dive has given you

399
00:12:42,960 --> 00:12:45,720
a new perspective on low content books.

400
00:12:45,720 --> 00:12:47,600
Remember, it's not just about the product,

401
00:12:47,600 --> 00:12:50,600
but tapping into a need, understanding your audience.

402
00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,000
Offering something valuable.

403
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:52,680
Exactly.

404
00:12:52,680 --> 00:12:57,560
And as you start creating, remember to stay curious,

405
00:12:57,560 --> 00:13:00,920
keep learning, and be open to those new possibilities.

406
00:13:00,920 --> 00:13:02,000
Couldn't agree more.

407
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:03,880
It's been a truly insightful deep dive.

408
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,560
Until next time, keep exploring, keep creating,

409
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:28,200
and keep diving deep.
