Ever thought about jumping into Amazon KDP publishing but didn’t fancy the idea of writing an entire book? That’s where low-content books come in – journals, planners, logbooks. They’re simple to make, and the best part? There’s real potential to earn. But here’s the thing: everyone’s creating the same basic stuff. You know the ones – plain journals, daily planners. If you want to make an impact, you need to find a niche that isn’t already overcrowded.
I’ve pulled together 8 unique niche ideas for low-content books on Amazon KDP that go beyond the usual suspects. These are ideas people are actually searching for but don’t see as often.
Low-Content Books on Amazon KDP Publishing!
1. Guided Travel Journals for Staycations
Let’s face it, staycations are huge right now. And why wouldn’t they be? We’ve got some cracking spots here in the UK – from the Cotswolds to Scottish lochs. So, instead of a generic travel journal, how about a staycation-themed one? Add prompts like “Hidden gems discovered,” “Favourite local meal,” and “New things learned.” You could even make it specific to popular regions like Cornwall or the Peak District.
Why It Works: People love documenting their getaways, especially when they’re rediscovering places closer to home. A staycation journal is niche but very relatable – perfect for those who love to make memories of their time away from the everyday stresses.
2. Gardening Planners for Small Spaces
Gardening is more popular than ever, but not everyone has a massive backyard. Loads of us are working with balconies, patios, or even just windowsills. A small-space gardening planner with sections for container planting, balcony layouts, and seasonal reminders could be just the thing. Picture it: a space to track plant watering, sunlight, and even which herbs are thriving best in a tiny space.
Why It Works: With more people in cities than ever, gardening doesn’t mean sprawling lawns anymore. This idea appeals to urban dwellers or anyone trying to make a green space out of a small area. It’s niche and super practical.
3. Pet Training Logbooks (But Think Beyond Dogs)
Everyone’s seen dog training journals, but there’s a whole world of pet owners out there. Cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, and even parrots need training (or at least some guidance!). A training logbook for specific pets could include spaces to track behaviours, training progress, and even fun “tricks” or milestones.
Why It Works: Pet owners are absolutely devoted to their animals and love any tool that helps them bond or train more effectively. Going beyond the usual dog journal opens up to a whole audience of other pet lovers. Imagine a cat training book – finally, a way to understand that sassy furball!
4. Plant Parent Journals
Being a “plant parent” has become its own little lifestyle. There are people with houseplants who treat them like children, with names and all. A plant care journal could include watering schedules, repotting notes, ideal sunlight needs, and even a section to track plant growth. You could add sections for different types of plants, from succulents to ferns, with special care tips for each.
Why It Works: For plant lovers, keeping track of each plant’s needs is no small task. A plant-specific journal could be incredibly useful, especially for beginners who need a bit of guidance or those who have a lot of plants and need a way to organise their care.
5. Goal-Oriented Workout Logs
Most workout journals are just blank pages with space to scribble, but what if you made it more goal-focused? Think of workout logs for specific goals – weightlifting, running, yoga progress. Include prompts like “today’s focus,” “daily mood,” and “how I felt after.” You can add goal-setting sections and weekly reflections too.
Why It Works: People are more motivated when they have a clear goal. This isn’t your average “just write it down” log – it’s a tool for those who want to track progress towards something specific. It’s like having a mini personal trainer in book form.
6. Memory Books for Grandparents
Here’s one that pulls on the heartstrings – a memory book specifically for grandparents to fill out and pass on to their grandkids. It could have prompts for favourite childhood memories, things they’ve learned, and “life lessons” they’d like to share. A book like this would be a lovely keepsake for families, something the grandkids will cherish forever.
Why It Works: Memory books never go out of style, especially ones that feel personal. Grandparents would love a book designed just for them to share their stories and wisdom. It’s a bit of a niche, but it has staying power – people will always want to preserve family memories.
7. Niche Recipe Journals (Beyond the Basic Cookbook)
Recipe books are everywhere, but think of a specific twist: recipes for foraged foods, gluten-free baking, or even vegan grilling. Each page could have space for ingredients, cooking steps, and notes for tweaks. This gives people a way to document recipes that match their unique diets or food interests.
Why It Works: Specific dietary needs and unique cooking styles are popular topics, especially with more people exploring things like plant-based diets or allergen-free cooking. This isn’t just another recipe book; it’s a personalised cooking journal for people who want to track their food experiments and recipes that fit their lifestyle.
8. Self-Care Journals with Daily Prompts
Self-care is a big deal these days, but not everyone knows how to make it part of their routine. A self-care journal with guided daily prompts – like gratitude notes, mood check-ins, or evening reflections – could be a great tool for anyone trying to make time for themselves. You could even have themes, like “morning mindfulness” or “evening wind-down.”
Why It Works: Self-care isn’t a trend; it’s a long-term need for many people. A guided self-care journal makes it easier for people to create a routine around taking care of themselves. It’s specific, useful, and has a wide appeal.
Low-content books on Amazon KDP can be a smart way to make extra income, but the key is finding a niche that’s both specific and in demand. Whether it’s a guided travel journal for staycations or a memory book for grandparents, each of these ideas offers something a bit different from the typical journal or planner.
So, if you’re ready to try out KDP publishing, give one of these niches a shot. Choose something you’re genuinely interested in – it makes creating the book way more fun, and you’ll end up with a product that actually stands out in a crowded market.
