Low Content Templates

Here are some of the most popular template styles:

• Lined
• College Lined
• Graph
• Dot Grid
• Hexagon
• Isometric
• Sheet Music

Here’s a snapshot of a few of these templates so you can see how they differ:

When it comes to designing my interior templates, I use PowerPoint. I find it easier to work with than
other programs and has a minimal learning curve. A lot of people love working with InDesign, while
others swear by Word or Photoshop or countless other programs. Don’t be afraid to test a few
programs and see what works best for you.

My suggestion? Stick with PowerPoint when you’re just starting out and take a course to master the
basics so you’re able to upload unique interiors that no one else has access to.

TOP RECOMMENDATION: If you’re looking for a step-by-step video course that will teach you exactly
how to customize templates in PowerPoint (the ones you get from us as well as your own), or create
ones from scratch, check out the course here: https://www.profitablejournals.com/powerpoint-course

It’s the best PowerPoint template course I’ve seen yet for newbies. Highly recommended. Click on
“Our Signature Course” to access it.

I have created a decent collection of interiors and use them as often as possible depending on the pen
name. For example, if I’m working on building a brand that sells journals for Moms, I would create a
folder on my desktop that includes every interior I’ve bought (or created, in my case) that would appeal
to that market. Then, I’d publish multiple copies with different covers.

In this example, and using the template packs available at https://shop.nicheraiders.com, the following
journals & planners would go into this “Mom” folder:

Yearly Planner (generic, would appeal to multiple niches)

Weekly Planner
Kids Chore Charts
Mom’s Scrapbook
Life Planner
Weight Loss Planner
Gratitude Journal

I then create different sizes for those templates, including: 6x9, 8x10 and 8.5x11. I tend to sell more
6x9 and 8x10 journals than I do any other size so I focus primarily on those templates.

Finally, I take those templates and turn them into different lengths so I would end up with:

1: A yearly planner that was 100 pages, 120 pages, 130 pages and 150 pages.

2: A weekly planner that was 130 pages and 150 pages.

If you purchase journals and planners from our shop, we’ve already done this work for you by providing
customers with various page lengths.

My journals are never longer than 150 pages. The reason why is because my journals are meant to be
used on-the-go, so I don’t want them weighing a ton. There’s nothing attractive about having a
telephone book sized journal! Plus, because of how Amazon binds the books, a thicker book is harder
to write in halfway through. We all can’t wait for when Amazon starts offering spiral bound books!

So, sticking to 150 pages or less ensures they are relatively light-weight and that your customers will be
able to write in every page.

Regardless of what you decide to use to create templates, create a simple system and then stick to it.
Don’t over-complicate the process by trying to tackle too many things at once. Buy a handful of
journals/planner templates and download the ones we provide in our members area, and start
publishing those under one main brand/pen name.

I want you to create books around very specific niche markets rather than work your butt off to create
thousands of low content books that don’t target active audiences.

That’s the key to making great money in this business. Your books need to appeal to die-hard fans of
specific hobbies, passions and interests, so every book you publish NEEDS to target a specific
audience.

Then, as you gain more experience using programs like PowerPoint, InDesign, Illustrator or Word, you
can start to play around with more complex templates.

Make sense?

In case you’re interested in learning how to create basic lined-pages for your projects, here’s a few
screenshots of how I get it done.

Note: There’s nothing too elaborate going on, but it’ll help you learn the basics quickly so you can
create your own templates. J

Step 1: Open PowerPoint and choose “New Presentation”.

Step 2: Delete everything on the page so you end up with a completely blank slide. You do this by
clicking on the elements and hitting delete.

Step 3: You need to adjust the size of your template based on the kind of book you’re creating. Most of
my journals are 6x9. Click “Design”, then click “Slide Size”. Choose “Page Setup” as shown below.

In this example, we’ll enter in 6 inches by 9 inches as our template size.

A pop-up box will appear. Choose “Scale Up”.

Now, click on “Shapes” from the top navigation menu:

Then click on the line tool as shown below:

Hold down the SHIFT button while dragging the line across the page.

Next, Arrange from the top navigation bar, then Align, and Align Center to ensure the line is perfectly
in the middle of the page.

Now, to repeat those steps quickly just grab the line and hold down Command + C to copy and then
Command+P to paste on a MAC and CTRL+C and CTRL+P on a Windows machine.

Continue to fill the page, making sure to align each line to center as you go.

That’s it! You’ll have a completed line page in just minutes. To fill up a 100-page journal, all you have
to do is copy the slide when it’s finished and paste until you have as many pages you need!

Just make sure you save the file in two different formats:

1: The pptx format, which is the source file for PowerPoint. This will allow you to go back into the
template later and further customize or modify it.

2: The PDF file. This is what Amazon KDP Print requires from you when you upload your book.

To save you time, I’ve created some of these templates for you. You can download them from the
members’ area!

Also, you can download templates from Amazon directly at:
