including tips and strategies based on
my research and personal experiences now
in the first month I sold only 89 units
it was a little discouraging but I knew
that I wasn't going to give up on my
goals that easily so I kept pushing now
from the graph you can see a steady
increase in sales since then in July I
sold 1
634 paperback puppets now the consistent
increase in sales has mainly been
because two of my books became Bachelors
on both Amazon UK and US additionally my
new book is currently a bestseller on
Amazon UK now so how did I achieve this
simple by doing three basic things one
keyword research two keyword research
and three zero research sorry to confuse
you I just had to say three times sorry
to sink in now the truth is that I
realized that the right keyword is the
foundation of a successful book Finding
keywords with high demand is like
finding a map to a treasure chest and so
I invested my time effort and most
especially money into keyword research
in this video I'll work it step by step
how I identify profitable Natures
discover keywords with high demand
within those niches and find categories
that will increase the chances of my
book becoming a better seller I would
also share other useful tools that can
boost the progress of your KDP Journey
now the platform I use for my KDP
research is bookbeam and I chose this
platform after testing out other sites
and viewing some reviews on YouTube
bookbeam has a lot of tools that can
help sales Publishers take their keyword
research game to the next level and I
can honestly say it changed the game for
me too now let's start with system
identifying profitable niches now in the
past I struggled to find a profitable
Niche I spent hours going through
Amazon's best sellers list most gifted
list and even the also suggestions on
the search box
glitch finder tool simplifies and speeds
its process and has helped me identify
good leaders that are profitable
here's how I use it first select a
Marketplace to select from the preset
options I usually use top selling
self-published books and when you select
this preset it modifies the best seller
rank filter to range from 1 to 35
000. my next filter is to change the
maximum age of books to eight months to
identify newly successful books in
demand you can alter yours based on your
discretion now after selecting my
categories I hit enter and then bookbin
provides a list of book details
including reviews PSR monthly sales
royalties price and self-published
status this helps me identify new books
that are thriving I and clearly
particular attention to recently
published books with lower reviews
indicating potential demand I also pay
attention to particular sub natives that
have appeared more than three times like
for instance this subnet Mediterranean
diet cookbook appears more than four
times in the list then if I want to take
a closer look at any of these books I
add them to my tracker by clicking the
checkbook icon this is a simple process
I use to find subnetches to explore next
I go to the keyword research tool to
find keywords in high demand and low
competition now this tool displays a lot
of data points but the ones I analyze
are set volume and competitors now
simply enter your main keyword select
which Amazon site you want and then hit
enter I'm going to use the Mediterranean
diet cookbook that we found during our
Niche hunting book beam will generate
your keyword information along a list of
related popular keywords now for more
details on any keyword click the get
keyword data button so I'm looking for
keywords with low competitors and a high
section for instance this Mediterranean
diet cookbook for beginners 2023 has
only got 3 000 competitors and 6867
searches so I'll go with this so that's
simply how I find keywords it's a very
very fast and easy process for me next
thing I want to find a category where my
book can become a personal or at least
have the chance of becoming a bestseller
and why do I do this now when you go to
Amazon and you see two items that are
similar one has got an Amazon's best
seller badge and one doesn't have one
now which item would you go for
well there's your answer Amazon personal
badges signal to Shoppers that listen
sell well they are trusted so that a
good price and the product is 80 quality
so here's how I do it now click on the
category Explorer choose a Marketplace
for instance the United States or the
United Kingdom and select books as a
format let's won't pick our desired
categories and you can select as much as
you want from the category section now
for the exciting part and the top one
rank section I choose options like 20K
to 40K or even the 40K to 80k option
this reveals categories with best
sellers falling Within These ranges
click and find categories presents a
list of categories including layer
details BSR of top rank books required
sales to stop the category and much more
in this category requires only a few
daily sales and the top one rank to meet
is very doable these vsrs are reasonably
High making it very manageable to
compete and succeed with the right
strategies and that's exactly how I
identify my categories now there are
other tools on book boom that are very
useful and I will walk you through each
of them
first look at the book tracker this tool
is used to Monitor and analyze data on
books you added to your tracker it
offers insightful data for analysis
including bestseller rankings over time
estimated daily royalties reviews and
ranked keywords the next tool is the
keyword generator now when crafting an
Amazon listing you need keywords for the
books title description and the second
keyword section this tool helps in
finding those keywords now all you do is
enter your primary keyword and press
enter
and then you'll be presented with
popular related keywords to help with
your listen you can copy the most
relevant ones that you want or you can
just copy everything the next tool is
the listing Optimizer I don't really use
this all the time but it helps with
optimizing your listing it gives you a
listing score and recommendations
regarding reviews ratings categories
descriptions eight plus content and much
more now my favorite tool of all time is
the Chrome extension this tool takes
your research to a whole new level it
shows you a lot of data points right at
your Amazon site now you need to install
the extension by downloading it from
their website and installing the
extension to your Chrome browser
next open the book Bloom extension here
and it will ask you to sign now when you
search for a keyword on Amazon and open
the extension it pulls up a list of
really cool data on here you will get
the summary data points this section
gives you the average person number of
competitors and set volume of that
keyword in the bottom section it lists
all the titles author age ranking
estimated royalty per day and estimated
sales per day this tool is a game
changer for self-publishers who want to
quickly and easily access information
and data points now another cool feature
is that on the listing page you can
easily find the PSL estimated daily
sales estimated royalties and the age of
the listing there's also a graph that
shows you the PSR and price history of a
listing over a period of time now I
highly recommend bookbeam because this
