Self-publishing through Amazon KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) is one of the most profitable paths for modern entrepreneurs, authors, and creative professionals. While traditional books rely heavily on written content, many of the top-selling products on KDP fall under low-content or no-content categories—like coloring books, journals, activity books, and planners.
At CraftsBeefy, we specialize in premium, ready-to-use KDP interiors that make it easier to publish professional, high-converting books with minimal effort. Whether you're launching your first book or scaling your publishing business, this guide will walk you through how to choose, customize, and market your interiors for maximum results.
📖 Why KDP Interiors Matter
In the world of low-content publishing, interior design is everything. Your book’s inside pages need to look professional, engaging, and valuable. A great cover may grab attention, but it’s the interior that turns browsers into buyers.
Top Categories for KDP Interiors:
-
Coloring Books – For kids, adults, stress relief, and mindfulness
-
Activity Books – Puzzles, mazes, word searches, brain games
-
Journals & Notebooks – Gratitude logs, goal planners, daily reflections
-

📌 At CraftsBeefy.com, all interiors are Amazon-compliant, professionally designed, and optimized for print success.
