KDP Low Content Hack | Sell More Books Faster With KDP Low Content Strategy 2022 | The Simple Way
About this video
(Summarized from the Arabic caption track.) Low-content KDP strategy to rank a book on the first page of Amazon. He says he has sold on Kindle Direct Publishing for the past three years and promotes his Pixel Pod Studio service, which he says creates about 10 interiors per month and gives access to more than 200 previous interiors. Low-content books are not novels: examples are a password log book (in one case essentially a lined notebook marketed as a password organizer, shown with Amazon’s Look Inside feature), a phone call log, a more detailed prayer journal for women, and journals with quotes. His core principle is that the less work a book takes, the more competition it has, while adding detail creates less competition — so start low-content, earn, then move toward medium and higher content. Research method: reverse-ASIN a best-selling book with Helium 10 to see its ranking keywords, use the free AMZ Suggestion Expander / Amazon autocomplete to see what customers search, and study top sellers’ positive and negative reviews to build a better book and identify the buyer (for example, women buying password books, suggesting a pink or purple cover). For one login/password book niche he cites 251 competing products as a low-competition signal. He says to put the long-tail keyword in the paperback title and exactly on the cover or KDP will reject/push it back, find niches via Amazon Movers and Shakers, build interiors with tools such as Book Bolt, Affinity Publisher or InDesign (or outsource), and focus on quality rather than uploading hundreds of books.
Key takeaways
- Low-content does not mean a novel: log books, password organizers, call logs, prayer journals and notebooks are the model
- More detail equals less competition — differentiate an interior instead of publishing the simplest possible lined book
- Spy on winners: reverse-ASIN with Helium 10 for ranking keywords and use Amazon autocomplete/AMZ Suggestion Expander for free keyword ideas
- Mine reviews, especially negative ones, to fix flaws and design a better book for the actual buyer in that niche
- Target low-competition long-tail keywords (he cites 251 competing products for a password log niche), put the keyword in the title and exactly on the cover, and prioritize quality over volume
