It says my cover's too big on the preview page. I did everything you did. Is there a step you're not showing?? I expanded the background in bookbolt like you did for "bleed" as you say
Are you holding an iPad on the thumbnail?
How exclusive is it ? And now time sensitive ? .....wait a minut if it was such a great deal why are you wasting time making these videos ?
Sir, with all due respect, I ask if there is any free alternate of bookbolt. You see, I am from India and the basic plan is $9.99, which is around Rs. 830 for us. And honestly, that's a bit much. can you please help in this matter?
Having multiple streams of income is a game-changer for financial stability. Relying solely on a job may not provide enough financial security due to high rates of tax It is important to explore additional investment opportunities to surpass one's expectations. May you find success as you read.
I recommend everyone to find the forbidden book titled Secret Pathway to Triumph: It goes deep into all of this, and it changed my life.
he made 26$ form selling the books and 10K from youtube nice
exactly
and unknown amount of $$$ on referral program 😅
My man is a millionaire, he's making these videos for you to know the opportunities out there and to catch one for yourself and you're here counting how much he's making? Even if he made a hundred thousand good for him he deserves it, he worked on his video well that it generated him that much
I actually made a coloring book using MidJourney and Canva and started selling it on Amazon with no experience in about 3 hours. No advertising and no promoting and have sold several copies. I’m not rich off of it by far, but it’s fun telling people that I’m a published author 😂
Amazon KDP Publications scammed me out of over $3000 dollars.

@@davidclark573 How?
Lol, totally worth it for the story. Hats off to you sir.
How much sales are you getting now?
Everyone on CZcams is millionaire and they all have the ultimate secret for people to become millionaire including this man
Hi, I never say I have the secret to being a millionaire but I have become one by working hard in business and feel it’s my mission to pass on the lessons I have learned. If this helps others to level up and do better then I am a very happy man. Thanks for watching. MT 😎
Mark really did it though. Genuine guy 🫶🏻
MT is the real deal. Gray hair and real-life experience just listen to him the wisdom is everywhere. You actually get smarter at every video.
Exactly! They are all idiots. Is so easy that everyone is a millionaire now. So stupid.
Guess what go to school like me for 14 years and then make millions. (ER doc).
You are product of your effort.
Education is the great equalizer!
Stop the 3 easy steps to be a millionaire by tomorrow.
So sad……
Cowardly comment on CZcams - plenty of cowards on CZcams 👎
Thank you! Such a simple and thorough walkthru. I made a great journal when I was bringing up my 7 kids but I had to use a store bought which I wasn’t suitable. Now I can make it own dream journal!!!
this video is actually so well done. Like the whole step by step process. Wish more youtubers were as straight forward as this
I feel like Mark is making the actual money from the book creating tool by introducing it in this video rather than the sales of the book !
Like all of these youtube "gurus". They have made millions but out of the goodness of their heart, they are going to produce a CZcams video telling you how they did it. Yea right.
Yes indeed. Had my go at low content. Market is flooded
This video is literally just an ad for the tool. You can tell by the fact that the video is extremely obviously scripted and the fact that he even says so in the description.
I don't think he ever said you could make millions with this idea. Just an idea to make a little money doing nothing after the original work.
Obviously, plus making money from affiliate links, from all the people who fall for this BS and sign up. It's sad how people don't see through this.
The most realistic kdp creator I've seen so far plus funny for an extra point, thank you Sir!
Do it. Blcktken300 already in my bags. I had a Blcktken300 after ( your should I buy ) and I agreed and bought. I'm looking to stack more, too.
I could actually sit through your whole video!! Most vids lose me, quickly, but I was in a trance by the sound of your voice, lol. Your accent is amazing! You went step-by-step, and I learned A LOT! New Subscriber!!! Thanks for this information.
Hi Mark, after years of procrastinating, this video was the inspiration I needed to create and publish the daily planner I had in my head. Done is better than perfect. Thanks!!
Hi, good luck my friend. MT 😎
I absolutely love that “done is better than perfect”.
Keep us updated on how it went! :) it'd be nice to know
@@letmebakeit in my opinion there's two aspects here: completing the project, and selling it. I'm am very pleased for finally getting it done, and I learned a lot in the process, as I decided to create it myself instead of using a ready made solution. As for the second aspect, it has not sold any copy after a week; it may be a bad choice of tags, the lack of reviews, myself not being famous, or who knows, but making money out of it was not my priority. There's a massive amount of choice in that area, so in the end it's all about getting the right product noticed by the right audience.
@@JosepdelRio thank you very much for your answer! wishing you luck in your projects :) maybe it just takes time!
Thank goodness you brought this up! Truly, investing has changed my perspective on how one can succeed in life; working multiple jobs isn't the optimal way to attain financial freedom and unfortunately, we discover this later in life. Currently earn as much as 10 grand weekly and this has improved my financial life. Great piece!
Wow, congratulations on your impressive investment success! Your discipline and focus on delayed gratification is truly inspiring. I'm curious, what are some of the key factors that you consider when making investment decisions? Do you have any tips for those of us who are just starting to dip our toes into the world of investing? Thanks for sharing your story!
Do you mind sharing info on the adviser who
assisted you? I'm 39 now and would love to

She's OLIVIA SULLIVAN FINANCIALS
I'm definitely gonna check her out. Do yo have any idea if she manages family fund?
Getting Olivia Sullivan to help me really helped me clear all my debts. I started with what I have left and it's been the best decision I ever made
I loved the way you spoke Mark. So clear and professional! Great Job!
I love how a 2.1m subscriber youtuber tells us how to earn money passive, while uploading a video to youtube on how to make a passive income. For everyone trying this, by watching this video, you make passive income for the video uploader. You yourself will probably invest a lot of time, just to find out you wont earn a single penny.
Thankful for the info you are providing.
Still remember the first time watching your video in summer 2021.
You’re the man 🤝
I've been binge watching your videos. I love them, so informative.
It’s not gonna make you millions but this is the absolute best passive income idea I have seen to date. No one and I mean no one has described it like this before. Thank you.
One annoying thing that Amazon has done is remove the ability to preview inside books. So with Planners and Journals buyers have to take a chance the inside layout suits their needs.
You can always add a preview to the back cover but that can ruin your designs aesthetics.
Can't you use one of the product display photos to show the inside layout?
Hence why his sales aren’t legitimate. He’s used this video as a cash grab through his bookbolt code. Seems like a really grubby move and I expected more from Mark if I’m honest.
@@CLR939 why do you think he's making content in the first place?
@@yoshyohnson7441 yep I understand this is business for him but I never expected him to be one to lie in order to make money off vulnerable people. Do you seriously think he sold 10 copies of that planner, with the buyers being unable to see what was inside?
@@CLR939 ...yes
Living in a house with 2 females.. very, very yes
I’m very comfortable when mark talks even this is my first day to wach you, and most accurate video for kdp
Fun video! A creative person always creates - whether for money or for art itself- even if it’s boring
Wow thank you! I was looking for a fun vacation project! And I even get to be creative and design something fun (I really love drawing)!! I hope it is indeed as simple as it looks since I have 0 experience, but you miss every shot you don’t take :)
Fun fact 😂… I’m the creator of the planner at 1:18 - very fun to see you cover it in a video!
It’s not a typical dated planner, it’s actually a Food Diary designed for those who want to track their food intake, etc. Our dated covers are some of our most popular ones! 🤣 of course though, they need to be updated annually.
That's an interesting idea. A yearly food diary for people that just don't realize *everything* they're eating or even not eating. Dated covers can be nice, but much like he said, and you as well, they need to be updated annually. That can be good and bad in various ways. At least you have people rebuying every year.
Now I'm curious to know, if it's okay to ask - how much money do you make monthly/yearly with that planner? Are Mark's promises true?
@@janego2018 I’m not sure what Mark’s promises are, but I certainly make enough money to warrant a business from this diary. Bear in mind it is a niche product for a specific target audience.
if you don't mind me asking, what do you use to make them? the design
@@22kaoz I personally use Adobe applications, like Illustrator and InDesign. But there’s plenty of open source software available as well, as Adobe can be notoriously expensive.
Your editing style and way of speaking is marvelous!!
Thanks Mark. This is the best one yet! I would love an update these months later. ❤
Wow that's an amazing idea! A blank book isn't going to offend anybody so it won't get taken down by anyone over complaints. Most inoffensive product ever.
Thank you for turning me onto KDP. I love this! I started my journey today with a couple ideas and have lots more to work on. Additionally, my wife buys a planner every year and never can find just what she wants. While too late for this year, we will collaborate for next time. Great videos!
Hello, I'm planning to try this out. Could you please share how it was?
I have a few dozen books that I think are desirable but still no sales. I think I have to revisit my keywords but I have been busy with other things.

Save your time. AmazonKDP has been severely cracking down on low-content journal books, canceling them and deleting the accounts of whoever produces them. You are wasting your time.
@@danh6341 Hey, can you give us an Update please?
This guy is amazing, just no words to describe how helpful and great he is
Hi, Thanks, it makes me so happy that you are finding my videos useful. MT 😎
cảm ơn rất nhiều❤
Thank you for being interesting and concise.
Careful with trademarks "productivity planner". Also, Canva is another great option to get page templates and adjust them.
I tried this for Couple of years. I’ve made many low content books. I found it a waste of time. It’s incredibly tough to get any sales due to the amount of competition. Don’t know how you only got 2k as a result on your search. I’ve just done a search & it’s come up as 100k. That’s your competition. You would need to spend on advertising & even then, it’s tough. This will suck any minor profit you make & cost more IMO. If you have a brand & a following, you may make this work. But luck to anyone who can make it work.
Exactly. Another commenter mentions that they have made "dozens" of different versions for months with not a single sale. I think that goes to show how feasible it is for the average person for "passive" income
Yikes......
How many book listings have you made?
Mark the real deal😍 .Thanks Mark and keep it coming👍
I'v literally just come across your page and at the 5:35 remarks, I can totally relate. 😅 I'm truly grateful, you've opened my eyes to something new.🎉 Thank you!
You're a gem, It's not easy to share info with people to help others. So, you're one of a kind. Thank you.

It's not passive and it doesn't work anyway.
Thank you! Informative and to the point
Big thankssss... love your idea.
Hi mark, thanks for your sharing of the amazing idea! But, i curious how does amazon works. Does the amazon will automatically help to order and make the journal themselves without the need of us to stores up journal stocks? Does it have any limitation to other stuff as well?
This is the first time I have ever felt like a creator makes actionable videos. This is real, and I am in awe! It's so much easier than I would have thought!
Great video Mark! I am inspired...thank you!
when school started this year planners, notebooks and composition books were GONE!!! boxes were empty. this year teachers wanted blank covers and those were the first to go
Thanks Mark, these videos are really inspirational! I’d love to see a session where you do a deep dive holistic overview of generating passive income 🙂
They're inspiring, but they're also not reality. AmazonKDP will shut you down if you produce a low-content book like these. This is snake oil click bait.
@@christianc6016 ... But there are Millions of low-content books on Amazon, and they did not shut the accounts down ?
@@christianc6016 are you sure? I mean that book wasn't really low content. what would a low content book be then?
Great editing and marketing 👍
Excellent information, will try.
Please provide more money-making videos for "seniors".
Love your Humor. Thanks for sharing
It is a signifier of your credibility that, having seen videos on this sort of thing for years, you actually have me considering that this might not be a waste of time after all!
Hi, I honestly just gave it a go not expecting it to work, I thought it would be a video we never bothered to finish or even edit. When the first book sold I was shocked 😮 and then 10, this seems to me to be the lowest risk side hustle anyone could ever do even if just to get a few extra dollars rolling in every month. Good luck if you give it a go. MT 😴
It is a waste of time Dallas. Amazon no longer displays self-published planners and journals without ads. If you type in journal/planner/diary, NONE of the first 5 pages are self-published items. Don't waste your time. This guy is full of BULL! Never watched his videos just clicked through to see what he has to say. Complete BULL
@@counselingwithHEART Critisizing the guy that u never watched. Makes sense
He's lying in the title of the video. Where's the credibility? You cannot make money from affiliate marketing, unless you spend a lot of time recruiting people, meaning you have to lie and tell people they can make money by doing nothing, well knowing they won't, just so you can earn money from their investment.
@@Beeti1 I am not certain but I think you may be thinking of a different thing.
When you speak, you have a calm energy like Noel.
I like your humour!! Thanks for sharing!!!! God bless
Hi Mark, Great video. I was wondering what software did you use to create the journal other than the bookbolt.
Hey Mark, excellent videos, do you think you could do an example of flipping other items from car boot sales / eBay, as I struggle to compare prices with items I am considering buying, maybe an example of how to know how much things are worth?
Love this content! More income generating challenges that are easy to understand/implement, please! 💯
Hi Mark love the video and gave it a go however, amazon doesn't except me due to where I live but this would have been a fun idea to try.
Brilliant! Even millionaires sharpen their axe by hustling 💪
Mark thank you for the amazing content you are providing for us. I have a question do you publish your planner in the UK or the US?
Great video mark 👍🏿
This new style of content is very entertaining. Keep it up Mark!
Mark, you really are a great presenter and make things clear. Like a true professional, you make everything look so easy! Just joined your discord.
...and lie in the titls about how much you made!
@gfree8037 lol yeah I'm noticing that. Plus the "don't spend $1k to upgrade your car, invest it for a year, make $100k and then upgrade your car"... as if 100x in a year is so easy
It's all BS. It has nothing to do with passive income. You're not going to make any money from affiliate marketing, unless you spend a lot of time on it and don't mind lying to people, getting them to join and invest by telling they how they can make money without doing anything, while you know they won't.
@Beeti1 yeah I figured out it's BS after I posted. Gotta love it.

You are great help Mark! Keep doing what you are doing
Hi Mark @marktilbury, thank you for sharing.Can you please clarify if you did anything yo get those first few sales? Did you do any ads or get reviews somehow? Or did you simply upload and wait?
Love the video Mark. 👍
Took 6 years, over 10,000 hours of research, writing, data analysis, editing, illustrations, layout, on a two volume book on brain development and environmental determinants of intelligence , then put an investment in advertising it on Amazon, and other marketing. More than a year later, not a copy sold. Good to see someone cracked the code.🤣
Name of book?
Well, how will you sell it if you don't even tell us the name of the book! Duh.
Charles Lewis's channel: "This channel doesn't have any content". Well, I give up. Guess your book will remain a mystery.
I’m going to add this to my summer project
Awesome Video ...thanks for sharing Mark
This is inspirational for me. An idea that i can pay some bills off. This is a good start.
These videos are huge BS. There are so many things involved in between and such depth in every corner you won't even imagine. You will waste A LOT OF TIME trying to do this. Setting up an Amazon seller account, Converting your book into Kindle technology, marketing your books on Amazon, and so much more is missing from these videos, guys. They are just trying to sell you apps and platforms through this and other such videos - simple as that.
More to the point, if this was a genuine get-rich-quick scheme then they sure as hell wouldn't be telling anyone else about it. The fact they are means that the real money maker is selling courses & seminars to credulous idiots.
Very neat video, Mark. You are quite inspiring for those who are young and want to get a foothold on a good future. Do you have any advice off the top of your head about channeling your passion into a business? Thanks
Hi, yes join my discord it’s free and more business based. Thanks MT 😎
Great info video thanks
Thanks mark this is a super video 😊
Really good info Mark. Easy to follow and quite informative. Wish I had a mentor like you when I was younger.
Noticed the Tamiya Rough Rider in the back there. I have one that my dad made when I was a kid. It's was passed down to me a long time ago and is really beat up. Once our channel gets big enough, maybe I'll get some time to restore it! :)
Your cover is colored. Did you print your book in color or in black and white. I wonder if I can choose to print in black and white but have some colorrs on the cover ? Because the colored version is very expensive to produce for a planner.
I don't don't Amazon KDP but this intro is has a Pro editing. I love it💯💯
Hi mark ,thanks for this video ..
do you run ppc for new books ?
Nice!
I do wish this was more of a tutorial though!
Mark, sorry about all the negative comments mate. I know you have affiliate links etc but you are showing us basically step by step how to create something that can potentially make you some money. I am grateful. I havent made a book. I will have a go at it and if i dont get sales. I will play around with it and get creative until i get a sale. Ill try to scale it but the point is. I dont have a side hussle. This seems like something i can do and if it fails ill try something else. But thank you. I have actually seen alot of your videos and used alot of strategies and some really do help so again. A big thank you.
Hows it been going?
It can't make you any money, unless you're willing to spend a lot of time on it and even then it's unlikely. It has nothing to do with passive income. This video is an ad for the tool he's promoting. That's where he makes money and then from affiliate links, which also will never make you any money, unless you're willing to spend a lot of time lying to people, to get them to invest.
Your post was 4 months ago. Be honest...was there income to be found?
Many thanks, Mark! It's such a delightful explanation of the whole process! I feel that satisfying happiness right now! A kind of anandin feeling) God bless you! 💙💛
Great video! You have a new subscriber 💙 going to watch some more videos 😊😊thank you!
Dear Mark!
I like your content!
Where is the 5. point?
Thank you :)
I have done recently also some publications in KDP and I would be glad to know how you achieved to promote your books. Thx. Great video by the way
Have you already sold some?
@@Deluxiry Hi until now I don’t have a sale yet. I accomplished now a Journal for Oldtimer and now I am working on a Camping Journal. I would appreciate some help. Thx a lot for your reply
I really like this honest review, thank you 😅I’ll give it a try too
What was honest about it? He clearly isn't making a dime from those books.
Love your videos Mark, remind me of Terry Tibbs from Facejacker!
Hi Mark, thanks for the insightful and helpful video. I have a question if you don't mind. Have you used any marketing strategies to promote the product or was this purely based on the searches made by Amazon users and the keywords you have used? Thanks
Hi, I did not use any marketing strategies to promote the book sales, I think 🤔 got lucky and I was surprised when they sold with such little work. The title may have helped but with some work and a few different books this seems a great side hustle. Thanks MT 😎
How much did BookBolt pay you to make this commercial?
There are thousands of low-content books on Amazon that are being culled, along with publisher accounts deleted. This is snake oil click bait to get views, to make him money.
Hello, Great Video, really got me thinking on Side Hustles, etc. Question on the whole process you explained though, so when someone orders your book, does that order get sent to Book Bolt automatically and shipped to the customer, or would I need to manually place the order with Book Bolt to have it shipped out?
It’s all done in Amazon. Book bolt only creates the imagery
Anyone notice the little blue butterfly 🦋 when he was talking about getting distracted. I thought he was going to follow it with his eye to prove his point lol
Mark, hats off to you!
this not only looks super helpful but also fun to do. i've been trying to find a job for more than a year but i keep failing at getting one. rejection after rejection i start to grow desperate in trying to find a job. all i want is to just earn a bit more money so i (NL) can go see my boyfriend from a different country (UK) more often and build a future with him over time. there's lots i want to do aswell. so i've started looking into things that might offer me a bit of extra pocket money each month so i can treat my bf more often. and no i'm not planning to completely depend on this tactic to earn more money, that's a bit foolish. i still want to have a proper job with a higher main income
since i like to design stuff, this sounds like a fun thing to do so i will give it a try soon
Update ?
Update this
I love this logic...lets extrapolate a whole business/career or side hustle based on one weeks worth of data. Just imagine in the second week you get your last and final sale because it gets buried amongst the 10000s of carbon copies....thats the real truth. But I watched the whole video, so Mark wins and I didnt even have to buy his planner :)
Hi, thanks for watching, I do prefer to look at the positives rather than negatives. The great thing I thought with this is that it’s almost risk free, everything else I have done requires up front money. I was surprised how good it all worked, one of my followers suggested I try it. Thanks again my friend, remember the glass is always at least half full. MT 😎
yeah but if you can market it well you are able to come out on top, especially if you start getting reviews and do followups on the sales as to how you can improve or what to improve on or what other kinds of blank books someone could need
This is brilliant. I actually have a genius idea brewing in my mind.
Thank you for the idea and advice.. But as usual, the most important point in this business is marketing. Why don’t you tell us how and where to market the product?
I've dipped my toes into this before watching this video, I tried making a children's coloring book back in May using AI to create the images and fixed up some of the funky mistakes in photoshop. I've made no sales from that book so far, I'm planning on making some low content books to see if I manage to sell anything going forward. I remember watching a few channels on this topic, they said it wasn't until they had over 100 books that they started making a fair amount of money from sales each month.
Hi, I agree with making lots as it’s only costing you time, for me as I have said before I was surprised to sell from just one rapidly done as an example. If you’re time rich, rather than sat in front of a TV then you could make loads of books. Thanks for watching MT 😎
did u even get anything?
@@theemperorprime2406 I only made a handful of books, none have made a sale so far. Idk if it has to do with it being saturated af, but you might find success if you spend on advertising, or go around advertising your content which is what I've seen several people that made good sales do, but I wasn't interested in spending money I don't have like that and don't have an online presence to advertise on my own so I kind of moved on from it for now.
8 month later....any traction to this side gig?
@@carlhammill5774 I left a reply that seems to have gotten removed. Basically no I haven't made a penny but I've since moved on to something else less saturated.
Hey Mark - I really enjoyed your video. Could you speak to any other effort that may have been needed to make these sales? Did you promote or market the planner after creating it? Thanks!
This would help out a lot since I also tried it out and after a week I still haven't made a sale
I'll be reporting back a week after again since I startet to promote ads to mine now and the ad creative is under review as of me writing this
Have you made any sales yet?
@@froggyjosh I actually have, I did a book a few years ago. What I found, is without a social media audience to drive organic traffic it's very difficult to market or appear in searches. I did some sales. However, I had some issues with it. It is very easy to make a book, so easy such that it doesn't generate maximum value. So, you need to cast a very large net and do a lot of marketing to make decent sales. I am sure there are some people who have hustled to do well in the ebook industry, but it's really competitive and the only real winner is the publisher. Still hope Mark gets back to my question. Would love to hear from those who have done will with ebooks.
I have found other business models that have yielded me better results and provide greater magnitude of value, so I have pivoted to those.
@@einyoutubenutzerhave you made any sales?
