KDP Amazon | Best 90 Minutes Kindle Short Reads Niches 2020

About this video

Dale explains Amazon Kindle Short Reads, focusing on 90-minute reads: books of about 44 to 64 pages. He describes Short Reads as six length types from 15 minutes to two hours or more, and says entry is invite-only in effect, driven by category selection and keywords in the KDP dashboard and the book’s page length; authors can contact KDP via Contact Us to ask to be added, but should not category-squat and should shelve books where they belong. To find winning categories he recommends the free DS Amazon Quick View extension to see Best Sellers Rank, then navigating from a book’s product details back through Kindle Short Reads categories. His proof-of-concept rule is to look for a top 10 ranked roughly between 10,000 and 100,000: above 100,000 means less than about one sale per day in his framing, below 10,000 is very competitive. He then lists his 10 best 90-minute niches for 2020 — self-help, religion and spirituality, education and reference, comics and graphic novels, arts and photography, humor and entertainment, cookbooks/food and wine, politics and social sciences, computers and technology, and sports and outdoors — giving the approximate #1 and #10 ranks and estimated daily sales needed to break the top 10 for each. A sponsored Fiverr segment suggests outsourcing writing, editing, proofreading, formatting, and cover design if needed.
