Amazon KDP Low Content Books - Finding Niches and Keywords that Rank on Amazon Front Page

About this video

Martinez interviews Kyle from Easy Pub Profits about ranking low-content books on Amazon KDP by choosing niches and keywords buyers actually search for. Kyle describes his monthly guide as working two months ahead — for example, a May edition covering July occasions — with in-depth treatment of about fifteen dates, a book idea for every day, monthly themes, and a deep dive on a current topic; the sample shown covers World Watercolor Month and a segment on cryptocurrency-related books, such as a book for writing down wallet passwords and seed phrases. The core method is sub-niching: a generic term like watercolor sketchbook is far too competitive, while adding a format qualifier such as square cuts the competition dramatically. Each keyword in the guide’s table is scored on result count (generally aiming for low competition), whether any book exactly matches the phrase, the Best Sellers Rank of the top KDP book, and search volume drawn from Book Bolt. Both men stress that putting the exact phrase in the title and subtitle outranks competitors who only have it in backend keywords. Kyle also demonstrates adapting a provided interior into a prompted sketchbook and warns sellers to customize shared interiors — changing fonts and layouts — rather than uploading them unchanged. His closing argument is that a book requiring a little effort, like a prompted sketchbook, faces less competition and keeps selling longer than a trendy phrase slapped on a journal cover.

Key takeaways

• Work about two months ahead of seasonal dates and occasions so books are live and indexed before demand peaks.
• Sub-niche broad keywords with a format or angle qualifier to escape tens of thousands of competing results.
• Score keywords on four signals together: result count, exact-match availability, top-book BSR, and actual search volume.
• Put the target keyword phrase in the title and subtitle — Amazon treats that as more relevant than backend keyword boxes alone.
• Customize any shared or purchased interior (fonts, layout, content) and favor slightly harder book types, since the extra effort deters copycats and extends the book’s lifespan.
