📌 Step-by-Step Keyword Research for KDP

1️⃣ Understanding the Key Terms

✅ Keyword = Book Topic

• Keywords are what people search for on Amazon.
• Example: “Stock Market Investing for Teens” is a specific keyword within the broader “Stock Market Investing” category.
  ✅ BSR (Best Seller Rank)
• Every book on Amazon has a BSR score—a lower number means higher sales.
• Books with BSR under 50,000 are considered to be selling well.
  ✅ Focus on a Single Keyword
• Many publishers try to rank for multiple keywords—this is a mistake.
• Create a book for ONE primary search term to maximize rankings and avoid dilution.
  ✅ Amazon’s A9 Algorithm & Why it Matters
• Amazon ranks books based on search volume, sales velocity, and customer engagement.
• Matching your book’s metadata with high-demand keywords increases your chances of ranking organically.

2️⃣ The Right Keyword Research Strategy

✅ Wrong approach:

• Creating a book first, then searching for keywords later.
  ✅ Correct approach:
• Find a profitable keyword first, then create a book around it.
  ✅ Key Principles:
• 90% of sales come from one main keyword.
• If your book ranks well for a buyer-intent keyword, you don’t need ads.
• Focus on high-demand, low-competition topics.
  ✅ Understanding Keyword Difficulty:
• Low-competition = under 3,000 search results.
• Medium-competition = 3,000–10,000 search results.
• High-competition = 10,000+ search results (Avoid!).
  ✅ Check Competitor Reviews & Book Age:
• If books in the niche have less than 150 reviews, the competition is low.
• If top-selling books were published in the last 12 months, the niche is still fresh.

3️⃣ Finding Winning Book Topics on Amazon

✅ Step 1: Use Amazon’s Bestsellers List

• Look for books with high sales rank (BSR under 50,000).
• Avoid overcrowded topics with thousands of books.
  ✅ Step 3: Dig Deeper into Categories
• Click on books within the category to find related, untapped topics.
• Example: “Core Exercises for Seniors” was found under “Fitness”.
  ✅ Step 4: Analyze Sales Trends with KDP Spy & Book Beam
• Use KDP Spy Chrome Extension to check historical sales.
• If sales spike around a specific season, it may be a seasonal niche.
