Amazon KDP Research

About this video

RJ Martinez does live Amazon KDP research to show that low-content books — not novels — are the entry point: log books, journals, notebooks, sketchbooks, composition books, coloring books and planners. Starting from a conversation about a French Bulldog, he searches Amazon using only free tools, filtering on the left sidebar to Prime and Paperback format, and finds guides, kids’ books and especially coloring books. He shows a French Bulldog sketchbook that is essentially a cover plus 110 blank pages, his own coloring-book format of 20 line drawings (40 pages total with blank backs), and then repeats the process for English Bulldogs, finding composition books with lined paper, 110-120 page notebooks and journals, and a 134-page 8x10 Bulldog planner. His advice is to focus on and dominate one niche at a time, reuse one interior template across related niches, use ‘customers also viewed/purchased’ sections for ideas, and mine verified-purchase reviews for what buyers use the book for and for keyword ideas.

Key takeaways

• KDP low-content means notebooks, sketchbooks, composition books, coloring books and planners — not writing a full novel
• Research free on Amazon: filter to Prime and Paperback, then inspect covers, page counts, dimensions and BSR/sales history
• One niche can support many products: e.g. Bulldog coloring books, sketchbooks, notebooks, composition books and planners
• Focus on one niche and dominate it, reusing interior templates (blank, lined, planner) across sub-niches
• Mine verified reviews and ‘customers also viewed’ sections for use cases and keyword ideas
