CONFIDENTLY CREATE A PASSIVE INCOME PRODUCING LOW-CONTENT PUBLISHING BUSINESS
In just a few hours a week
Without being a professional designer, feeling hopeless when it comes to keyword research, or the dreaded "am-I-doing-this-right?" syndrome.
Whether you’re an aspiring online entrepreneur, full or part-time employee, stay-at-home parent, freelancer, or retiree, there’s no doubt that you’re currently seeing first-hand the importance of building additional income streams in order to create lasting financial stability.
The fact is, most people's only source of income is their salary and, as many are currently finding out during these uncertain times, it’s way too risky to rely on a single source of income alone. Even if you LOVE your current job, it’s crucial to build additional revenue streams that can carry you through economic uncertainty while also providing you with the financial abundance you’ve always dreamed of.
And if you're anything like me, you want to be able to make more money without spending more time at your job, or stay home with your kids without saying goodbye to a pay-check, or continue to see the cash roll in while you’re on vacation—or even when you're sleeping! If this sounds like you, then you must create a passive income stream.
Here’s where low-content publishing comes in.
You might have heard that the self-publishing industry is now worth over $1B, and many self-publishers are earning part or full-time incomes publishing low-content books like journals, planners, notebooks, guest books, and more on the Kindle Direct Publishing platform.
HERE'S WHAT YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW
Low-content publishing is the fastest and least complicated way to start generating passive income.
Passive income streams like paid advertising, affiliate marketing, e-commerce, or digital products can take months—if not years—to start generating meaningful income, whereas low-content books can begin generating income within days. This is because:
-
They're quick to produce.
You can go from idea generation to sales within just a few days or less. -
They require no special technical knowledge, writing or design expertise to create.
You don’t need a website or an email list, there’s no writing involved, and you can easily create your books without learning any complicated software. And you don’t need to be a professional designer. -
They require no upfront investment.
You can create low-content books yourself, using freely available software and stock imagery. -
There’s no paid advertising, marketing efforts or major upkeep required.
After publishing your book, the income you generate is completely passive. -
You don’t need to carry any inventory.
Your low-content books will be printed on demand and shipped straight to the customer, meaning you won’t have to store piles of books in the corner of your living room, deal with shipping hassles or customer service. You simply need to create book cover and interior files, submit your two PDFs to KDP, and your book will be available for sale within 72 hours.
In addition, your own passive income producing low-content publishing business means:
-
More freedom.
You’ll be able to work when you want, for as long as you want, from wherever you want, creating a work schedule that works for you rather than against you. You can stay home with your children, walk your dog or meet a friend for coffee in the middle of the day, and you’ll never need to get your supervisor’s permission to take a vacation. -
No cap on your earning potential.
There’s no one at the top deciding how much you and your time are worth, and your earnings will no longer be based on how many hours you work. The ability to generate as much money as you want will be in your hands, and you’ll never have to beg someone else for a raise. -
Breaking free from your current financial constraints.
Get out from underneath a pile of crippling debt, finally start saving for retirement, take that vacation that you’ve had to put off for the last few years, or finally have the power to splurge on that one item that you’ve had your eye on for ages, but just haven’t been able to justify. -
Greater financial stability.
An additional income stream can provide a buffer that allows you to keep your head above water if your primary source of income suddenly disappears.
Even though the reasons for starting a low-content publishing business are clear, the path to doing it successfully is anything but.
START A LOW-CONTENT PUBLISHING BUSINESS? YES PLEASE!
But where exactly do I start?
Chances are you’ve already decided that finding a way to earn some extra money is imperative for the success of your financial future. And because your time is not infinite, finding a way to generate passive income would be your holy grail.
And if you’re here now, this is most likely not the first online income “opportunity” that you’ve stumbled across, and it’s likely not the first one that you’ve invested time, and perhaps even money, into.
In fact, you may even have done some dabbling with low-content publishing already. You might have a list of ideas on hand, a few published books, and maybe even a few initial sales.
But even with the best intentions, many would-be low-content publishers quickly lose momentum, allowing those that are willing to stay the course to swoop in and gain the edge, while they remain stuck and without sales.
Here's why most low-content publishers abandon their business in the early stages:
Without a crystal clear, step-by-step low-content publishing blueprint, many would-be publishers get completely lost.
“Expert” self-publishers make low-content publishing sound soooo easy, yet when they dive into the details, they find themselves stuck in analysis paralysis, eyes glazed over at the mention of “keyword research” or “HTML formatting”, uncertain if their cover and interior designs are good enough to attract paying customers, and feeling like they’re missing out on that elusive “secret sauce” that, if they could just wrap their minds around, would allow the royalty floodgates to open and flow freely into their bank accounts.
With too many unanswered questions and no clear path to getting back on track, abandoning the possibility of a profitable low-content publishing business becomes the easiest option.
And as someone who’s already got a full plate of family responsibilities, work to attend to, and a million things on the go, you literally can’t afford to spend time on something that just isn’t working.
Therefore, building your low-content publishing business the RIGHT way, the FIRST time around, is crucial to creating a successful, passive income-generating business that will keep paying you monthly royalties for as long as your books are for sale and in demand.
And luckily for you, there are actually VERY FEW people out there doing it right.
Which means…
Even if you're late to the party, there's still a golden opportunity for you to jump in and start earning some serious extra cash RIGHT NOW.
The 3 Reasons Why Most Low-Content Publishers Fail to Generate Any Meaningful Income
(And how to avoid these same mistakes.)
Reason #1
They've been led to believe that low-content publishing is a "sure thing", in which massive success comes fast—and with little effort.
Because the barrier to entry is so low, low-content publishing attracts a lot of opportunists looking for a get-rich-quick scheme to make a fast buck with the least amount of effort required.
While low-content publishing is the quickest and least complicated way to start generating passive income, it’s not going to happen without commitment, consistency, and persistence. This is a real business model that requires real effort in order to payoff.
Reason #2
They focus on quantity rather than quality.
Many low-content publishers have been told that if they just publish as many books as they possibly can, the floodgates will open and a never-ending waterfall of cash will begin flowing in perpetuity. The philosophy behind this way of thinking is that if you just keep pumping out books at full speed, some of them must eventually sell a few copies.
These publishers are ignoring the fact that a real human customer must first be enticed to part with their hard-earned cash in exchange for your book. Tall order for a hastily-made, ill-targeted book.
Not only that, but because these poor quality books fail to sell more than one or two copies each—if they even sell at all—their publishers are forced to continue blasting out books by the thousand just to maintain any semblance of consistent monthly revenue—hardly the passive income stream you’re mostly likely striving to create.
Successful low-content publishers focus on quality rather than quantity. Spending time finding out what real, paying customers want and then creating a high-quality book, means you’ll end up generating more income from fewer books.
Reason #3
They get stuck, don't know what they're doing wrong, and then give up before they ever even had a chance to succeed.
Many new low-content publishers begin their journey with big expectations, and when they don’t experience immediate success—or when they experience their first few sales and then their progress stalls out—they take it as a sign that low-content publishing success will always be just beyond their grasp. They might even proclaim that the market is “too saturated”, or that they’re “too late to the party” and the opportunity has already passed them by.
This could not be further from the truth.
The worst part?
Oftentimes just one or two small tweaks would have triggered sales—and the beginning of a sustainable passive income stream.
Okay, let's get real for a second...
Despite the fact that low-content books are a massive and growing industry— and the potential to generate substantial passive income is abundantly clear—it’s not an evenly distributed one.
A few people will get a nice fat slice of the pie, while the majority will simply give up before getting so much as a taste.
And the main reason for this, as you’re no doubt already aware, is that while the barriers to entry couldn’t be lower…
...the barriers toward the EFFECTIVE creation of a profitable and sustainable passive income generating low-content publishing business can be high.
But, as long as you sidestep the biggest, most common—and completely avoidable—blunders that most beginning low-content publishers make, a clear path toward low-content publishing success exists for you and is waiting for you to take your first step.
And with your go-ahead, I’d LOVE to show you the way down that path.
Introducing...
The Complete Step-by-Step Implementation System For Creating a Passive Income Generating Low-Content Publishing Business
I’ve taken everything I’ve learned from building a 6-figure low-content publishing business on the KDP platform (with over 800 books published, tens of thousands of units sold, several #1 bestsellers, and SINGLE books that have generated over $10,000 a month on a consistent basis), and channeled it into a comprehensive, step-by-step roadmap that teaches you the foundational principles and implementation strategies that will allow you to create a viable, potentially life-changing, source of passive income.
The end result: a catalogue of profitable books—passive income producing assets—that will continue to generate revenue for as long as your books are for sale and in demand.
Low-Content Profits Academy is the ONLY program of its kind that…
Recognizes that the low-content publishing business model is incredibly simple—but not always easy.
Despite all the hype currently surrounding low-content publishing, I believe that a sustainable long-term business that produces passive income for years to come takes commitment, patience, persistence and time. It is this mindset that will set you up to truly succeed at low-content publishing—not just for a few small quick wins that never fully blossom into a powerful income generating machine. The focus is on doing things the RIGHT way, the FIRST time around.
Values quality over quantity.
Rather than flooding the market with thousands of low-quality, poorly researched books in an attempt to sell more simply by publishing more, Low-Content Profits Academy places the emphasis on producing a smaller number of high quality, research-driven books that attract more paying customers. This leads to a more manageable catalogue of high-quality books that you can be proud of.
Ensures you understand every vital step of the process before moving onto the next step.
Every step of the process is covered in detail, and the accompanying Low-Content Publishing Checklist will ensure you don’t move forward until you’ve fully grasped the current concept and taken the appropriate action steps.
So if you're ready to finally start generating real income with your low-content publishing business while avoiding the usual pitfalls, I'll help you get there!
"Rachel's self-publishing insights led me to building a 6-figure publishing empire within just 6 months, and ultimately leaving my full-time job. Without question, I would not have had this level of success if it weren't for her feedback, tips, and tricks. She is truly a guru when it comes to self-publishing."
S. MALLORY
“Before LCPA I struggled with the keyword research and selection process, but the way Rachel broke it all down in the Research module finally turned on the lightbulb for me. This was a total game-changer, and with that foundation in place, I got to work and just had my first $11K month.”
KIM GEORGE
Your Chic Geek
“Since the course, I’ve become a six figure seller, so I guess the results speak for themselves! My hero book is a major best seller all year round, sports the Bestseller badge with a ranking under 10,000 for most of the year, and has over 4,000 reviews. I have another 10 books that have sold over 1,000 copies each, and half of my books sell on a regular basis. I’m extremely pleased with the results I’ve had since taking LCPA, and my KDP income is beyond my wildest dreams. Long may it continue!”
JANICE PAPWORTH
“When I came across LCPA, I was brand new to the self-publishing game, and had so many questions about the entire process. Joining LCPA helped to answer all of my questions, and more! The LCPA course provides a clear step-by-step action plan that is currently making my dream of generating great passive from home come true! I just hit my first $1.2K month, and am so excited to see my self-publishing business grow in the coming years. Thanks Rachel!”
REEMA WEGLO
“Before LCPA I struggled to earn a consistent income online. The course helped me to get focused and target the right niches, and after 4 months of consistent effort I had my first $5K month. Since then I’ve even had my first $1,200 day!”

GOT QUESTIONS?
Here's what other low-content publishers asked before joining LCPA
While the amount of low-content publishers might be increasing, SO IS THE DEMAND FOR LOW-CONTENT BOOKS!
And let’s not forget, the majority of new low-content publishers focus on quantity rather than quality, and have fallen deep into the “If I just publish thousands of books, the sales will come,” trap. This has resulted in nothing more than a sea of poor quality books that will never grab the attention of a real paying customer.
Here lies the golden opportunity for the savvy self-publisher—there will ALWAYS be room for those who are willing to take the time to do it RIGHT by staying research-driven and quality-focused, resulting in a profitable catalogue of books that produce passive income for years to come.
This is an area where many low-content publishers go wrong straight out of the gate. Their process falls apart in the research or design phase, and when their book is published to the sound of crickets, they immediately start spending money on ads hoping to kickstart some sales.
This is the WRONG way to leverage an ad spend, and it usually results in an increase in frustration and a decrease in revenue.
An ad spend can be a great way to amplify results, but they won’t create results out of thin air. A book should be generating some sales BEFORE a publisher even considers spending a dime on advertising, and those initial sales will only be achieved through solid research and the creation of a high quality book that customers are searching for.
Ads can amplify sales, but they are NOT necessary for success. In fact, I've generated multiple 6-figures in profits since I began without spending so much as a dime on advertising or any other promotional methods.
I’ll teach you exactly how to quickly create your LC books using simple, FREE online design software and stock imagery. From beautiful backgrounds to stunning typography, I’ve got you covered! I’ll also show you how you can customize purchased interior templates using free online PDF editors, and even how to outsource the whole process if you just don’t even want to go there.
A solid understanding of keyword research will make or break a beginner low-content publisher, so I want you to feel confident during this entire process. I’ll show you my exact method for finding, choosing and assigning low-competition keywords, as well as how to maximize those 7 backend keyword slots for maximum discoverability in the Amazon store. Once you have a solid grasp of this method, you’ll be head and shoulders above 90% of self-publishers out there.
One of the best—if not the best—things about running your own online business is the freedom to work when you want and how much you want. Those that are playing the long game know that there’s no rush to get to the finish line—slow and steady really does win the race. The key to success is not speed; it’s commitment, determination, and persistence. It’s not about how many hours per week you have, but committing to making the most out of the time you do have.
Having said that, I recommend committing at least 3-5 hours a week to work on your low-content publishing business to start earning a part time income as soon as possible. As your earnings increase you will likely want to ramp up your efforts to scale your profits, and before long you might be in a position to ditch that second job—or even your primary job—altogether!
Joining LCPA gives you access to our members only Facebook group—a serious group of online entrepreneurs committed to building a lucrative, sustainable low-content publishing business as efficiently and effectively as possible.
This is the place to tap into the collective knowledge, experience, and insight of fellow self-publishers walking alongside you on your path to success and get near-instant answers to your most pressing troubleshooting questions, as well as support and encouragement from fellow group members. And I am personally in the group on a daily basis posting answers to member questions.
