Finding the Best Low Content Book Niches 2026 is the only difference between making consistent sales and wasting your time.
If you go to YouTube and search “KDP Niches,” you will see thousands of videos telling you to make a simple lined notebook with a cute cov
Do not listen to them.
Let’s look at the data.
- Search Term: “Gratitude Journal”
- Competitors: 80,000+ Results.
- Your Chance of Ranking: ~0.01%.
If you publish a generic journal today, it will end up on Page 500 of Amazon search results. Nobody will ever see it. You are wasting your time.
The “Gold Rush” of 2020 is over. To make money in 2026, you need to go Niche, and you need to go Specific.
I have analyzed the data, and here are 5 “Micro-Niches” that have high demand but surprisingly low competition.
Niche #1: The “Hobby Specific” Log Book
People love their hobbies, and they love tracking their progress. But a generic “Log Book” is useless to them. They need specific columns for specific data.
The Example: Scuba Diving Log Book Divers are required to log their dives for certification. They need columns for:
- Depth
- Bottom Time
- Gas Mixture (Nitrox vs Air)
- Visibility
- Location
Why It Sells: Most log books on Amazon are either ugly or generic. If you create a clean, specific layout with a professional cover (e.g., a shark or coral reef), you win.
- Competition: Low (<1,000 results).
- Demand: High (Evergreen).
Niche #2: The “Senior Citizen” Activity Book
The elderly population is growing rapidly, and “Brain Training” is a huge market. Families buy these books for their parents and grandparents to help keep their minds sharp and prevent memory loss.
The Example: Large Print Cryptograms for Seniors
- The Twist: It must be “Large Print” (minimum 16pt font). Seniors hate squinting at small text.
- Why It Sells: It solves a real pain point (boredom + health). It is a consumable product—once they solve the puzzles, they need another book immediately.
Pro Tip: Don’t just make “Puzzles.” Make “Easy Puzzles for Beginners” or “Hard Puzzles for Experts.” Targeting difficulty levels reduces competition even further.
Niche #3: The “Medical” Tracker
This is an “Evergreen” niche. People unfortunately always have health issues, and doctors often require them to keep daily logs.
The Example: Diabetic Blood Sugar Log / Blood Pressure Tracker
- Why It Sells: It is not a “want”; it is a “need.” People buy these out of necessity, not impulse.
- The Secret: Keep the design simple, clean, and professional. Avoid “cutesy” fonts. This is a medical document.
- The Opportunity: Combine it with a “Food Journal” column so they can track what they ate vs. their sugar levels. That adds unique value.
Niche #4: The “Guest Book” for Specific Properties
Airbnb and VRBO hosts love guest books. But a generic “Guest Book” is boring. They want something that matches their property’s vibe.
The Example: “Beach House Guest Book” or “Cabin in the Woods Guest Book”
- The Content: Don’t just have blank lines. Include prompts like:
- “Where did you travel from?”
- “What was your favorite local restaurant?”
- “Advice for the next guest.”
- Why It Sells: Hosts want to create an “experience” for their guests. A themed book adds to the decor and gets them better reviews.
Niche #5: The “Music” Manuscript
Musicians, guitar teachers, and piano students need paper to write music. Standard manuscript paper is boring.
The Example: Blank Guitar Tablature Notebook
- The Twist: Make it specific for Left-Handed Players or 7-String Guitar Players.
- Why It Sells: It is a hyper-specific tool for a passionate audience. Left-handed players often feel ignored by standard books. By catering to them, you become the only option.
How to Create These Complex Interiors?
You might be thinking: “I don’t know how to design a Scuba log or a Guitar Tab!”
Neither do I. And you should not be drawing these lines manually.
The top sellers use software that has these templates pre-loaded.
- You select “Guitar Tab.”
- You choose “100 Pages.”
- The software generates the PDF for you instantly.
This is how you scale. You don’t spend 5 hours designing; you spend 5 minutes selecting a template.
