How to Sell Custom Mazes on Amazon KDP: A Commercial License Guide

The booming market of "Low Content" Books

Did you know that puzzle books are consistently among the best-selling categories on Amazon? From "Activity Books for Kids" to "Relaxing Mazes for Adults," there is a huge demand for unique, high-quality puzzle content. This business model is known as KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing) Low Content Publishing.

Why MazeDIY is the Secret Weapon for KDP Authors

Most KDP creators use generic software that generates boring, square grid mazes. The market is flooded with them. To stand out, you need something unique.

This is where MazeDIY shines:

• Picture Mazes: Create mazes in the shape of animals, objects, or holidays. A book of "Dinosaur Shape Mazes" will sell far better than "Generic Square Mazes."
• High Resolution: We export vector-quality PDFs and PNGs (300 DPI+), ensuring your printed book looks professional, not pixelated.
• Difficulty Control: Easily generate "Easy," "Medium," and "Hard" versions to fill different sections of your book.

Understanding Commercial Licenses

We often get asked: "Can I use these mazes in a book I sell?"

The answer is YES, provided you have a Commercial License. Here is how it works:

• Personal Use (Free): You can print mazes for your kids, students, or personal parties. You cannot sell them.
• Commercial Use (Paid License): This license grants you the right to use the generated mazes in products you sell, including KDP books, Etsy printables, and physical merchandise.

With a commercial license, your mazes are Royalty-Free. This means you pay once for the generation/license, and you keep 100% of your book royalties forever. We do not take a cut of your Amazon sales.

Step-by-Step: How to Create a KDP Maze Book

Step 1: Niche Research

Don't just make "A Maze Book." Niche down. Examples:

• "Unicorn Mazes for Girls Ages 4-8"
• "Hard Mazes for Adults: Stress Relief Edition"
• "Bible Story Mazes for Sunday School"

Step 2: Generate Content with MazeDIY

1. Upload images related to your niche (e.g., unicorn silhouettes).
2. Use the "Smart Cutout" feature to create shaped mazes.
3. Export as PDF or High-Res PNG.
4. Repeat until you have 40-100 puzzles.

Step 3: Interior Layout

Use free tools like Canva or affordable ones like Affinity Publisher to layout your pages. Place one maze per page (or 4 for harder levels). Don't forget to include solution pages at the back!

Step 4: Cover Design

Your cover sells the book. Ensure it clearly shows that these are Picture Mazes, not just boxes. Use a bright, contrasting design.

Step 5: Publish

Upload your interior PDF and cover file to Amazon KDP. Set your price (typically $6.99 - $9.99 for puzzle books). Hit publish!
