11 Hours of No BS Amazon KDP Advice to Sell More Books

About this video

This is a very long compilation (marketed as roughly 11 hours) stitched together from many of the creator’s book-review videos, in which he critiques viewer-submitted Amazon KDP titles and explains why each is or is not selling. Because it is a compilation, the same diagnostic framework repeats across dozens of books, and the samples reviewed across the file are consistent in theme. The most frequent verdict is that a book fails for one of a small set of reasons: there is no proven demand for the topic (he checks whether any competing books on the keyword are actually selling, and warns that ranking first for a term nobody searches earns nothing); the cover looks amateur or uses imagery he considers weak for nonfiction, such as realistic or futuristic images instead of bold, mostly text-based designs; the title is vague, too long, or missing the search keywords buyers type, so the book never surfaces in Amazon search; the price is far too high for a book with few or no reviews; or the author never gathered reviews and never marketed the book. His prescribed order of operations is reviews first, then marketing — running ads on a book with one review predictably loses money. Positive examples are used as templates: books praised in the compilation combine a clear keyword-led title, a professional cover, hundreds of reviews, A+ content, and sensible pricing, and he cites their estimated daily earnings as evidence the formula works. He also argues for publishing in multiple formats, noting a case where a book’s audiobook version earned meaningful daily revenue even when its Kindle version was mediocre, and he repeatedly promotes his own paid coaching program and free training between segments.

Key takeaways

• Verify demand before publishing: if no competing book on your keyword is selling, ranking first for it will not produce sales.
• Nonfiction titles must instantly communicate the topic and contain the keywords buyers search for; vague or overlong titles and subtitles make a book undiscoverable.
• Get reviews before spending on marketing or ads — the sequence is reviews first, then promotion, not the reverse.
• Price in line with your social proof: premium prices only work once a book has substantial reviews and a proven track record.
• Publish in multiple formats (ebook, paperback, audiobook) because a book that underperforms in one format can earn well in another.
