This looks interesting.

I don't think it will happen as the software is cloud based.

Okay - so I bought it, but as Cliche mentioned, the software is entirely cloud based, so a share isn't going to work.

That being said, it's an excellent product and worth the $27 (which is not something I normally say about BSO's).

So if you're into doing puzzles, this would be worth getting. Tons of videos on how to use the software and the possibilities in the market. And it's not the usual journals and other overdone stuff. This area still has tons of potential.

Given what I've seen, the Activity Book upsell might be worth the $67, however, if you pick up a couple of good activity books (I was already thinking along those lines after I found one at Walmart last year), you'll know what to do and you can figure it out.

Also, if you have the Tony Laidig puzzle book training (it's here somewhere), he covers all the puzzles this guy doesn't and tells you where to access mostly free software that will help you put them together.

But do get the FE if puzzle books is your thing. It might also go well in combo with the ideas in Amazon Edge X by Lila Jade I shared a few weeks ago.

Thanks for your feedback @maggie jo

Thanks for your feedback. I do have a few questions though.

1. Have you been able to make any money with it?
2. Is it in fact as simple as having the software generate puzzles, then putting them on Amazon, and then collecting money?
3. Is this easier and more lucrative than creating ebooks?

Thanks for your feedback.

That all depends on the amount of work you are willing to put in, your imagination on how you target your audience nich and how accurate you design the interiors for them so that they will buy.

On top of that is the quality of your cover designs and keywords to attract your targeted customer in the first place.

Multiply that by 1000 books with about 100 puzzles each over the next month or so and you should make some good money in quarter 4.

It's just that easy...

While the software can generate the puzzles quickly there is other work involved such as compiling the word lists and you can't just compile one big list of words and upload it. You have to keep each word list to 26 words or less on each list and the words can't be longer then 12 characters. The top word on your list will be the puzzle title so keep that in mind when creating the list. To create a word search puzzle you have to have a minimum of 20 lists uploaded. Each list of words will create one puzzle so if you want to have 100 puzzles you'll need about 2500 words for one book. Now you could go down to say 12 words per puzzle so then you would only need about 1200 words per book.

If you only want to do sudoku puzzles those you don't have to upload anything for so those can be done quickly.

You will also need to add a cover to the book and a title page inside with your copyright info etc. While it can generate the title page for you it's not very attractive as it aligns to the left and isn't spaced out well, so I'd advise making your own.

I agree with what deedee22 and equalizer have said.

The upside is that it's easy to compile PDFs together (and take them apart), so once you've got the niche and the word lists, you can create a ton of "books", then put them together offline.

Like a lot of things, you do have to do some work if you want to make money. And the more you customize and do, the more you will make. No such thing as a "no effort" button.

I also recommend spending some time looking at Amazon and other places for unique ideas so that your puzzle books have a lot less competition.

And, yes, there are free puzzle makers online, but they're not as fast and easy as this one, so for less than $75, you can churn out puzzle books like crazy.

Covers aren't that hard once you've picked your template so your puzzles have a consistent look. It's the finding and setting up that take a little time, but once done, it's fast and easy.

And, let's face it, once you've done it a few times, you'll be able to start making money and it beats the hell out of working a J.O.B.
