5 Weird Kindle Publishing Niches in 2017

About this video

As a lighter follow-up to a previous video on five highly profitable and competitive Kindle publishing niches, Dale shares five strange and unusual Kindle niches readers may have missed, stressing he will not focus on rankings or bestseller categories — only the types of books — and that he is not attacking anyone who enjoys them. Number five is anal itching and anal pain: he jokes that he used to see a doctor for such problems rather than the Amazon bookstore, warns against searching Amazon directly with the word ‘anal’ because kinky romance and erotica corner that keyword, and suggests looking under general health and fitness instead. Number four is bear hunting, found under hobbies and interests; he jokes that a manual with one small discrepancy missed by an editor could make you a grizzly bear’s next snack, and compares reading about it to watching This Old House for entertainment rather than as a guide to actually remodeling centuries-old structures. Number three is EFT tapping, found under spiritual hobbies and interests, which he defines via Google as a form of psychological acupressure based on the same energy meridians used in traditional acupuncture to treat physical and emotional ailments for over 5,000 years, but without needles. Number two is how to scream sing, under other hobbies and interests, for readers wanting to expand their singing range, as he puts it, from Mariah Carey to Cannibal Corpse. Number one is adult baby diaper lover books, also referred to as ABDL, which he places in the erotica category — what self-publishing veterans call ’the dungeon’ — noting Amazon has put up safeguards that limit visibility in that gray area. He closes by recommending a quick Amazon search if any of the five strike your fancy, since you never know where you might break new ground.

Key takeaways

• The five weird niches, counted down: anal itching and pain, bear hunting, EFT tapping, how to scream sing, and adult baby diaper lover (ABDL) books
• Dale deliberately skips rankings and bestseller categories here, presenting only the types of books for pacing and simplicity
• Search quirks matter: searching ‘anal’ on Amazon surfaces kinky romance and erotica, so the health books sit under general health and fitness
• EFT tapping is defined in the video as psychological acupressure using acupuncture’s energy meridians, without needles
• ABDL titles live in erotica — ’the dungeon’ — where Amazon safeguards limit visibility in that gray area
