3 Tips to Blow Up Your Amazon KDP Sales in Q4 - DO THIS NOW

About this video

Sean gives three tips for boosting Amazon KDP sales in Q4, which he defines as October, November, December and a little of January, when buying rises for Christmas, Black Friday, Cyber Monday and other holidays. First, publish seasonal books tied to upcoming holidays: Halloween, Thanksgiving, Christmas or Hanukkah and New Year’s Eve in Q4, and plan ahead for Q1 holidays such as New Year’s Day, Super Bowl Sunday, Valentine’s Day, President’s Day, Pi Day and St. Patrick’s Day, working a couple months early. Examples include Christmas joke books and Christmas notebooks, which reuse the same blank lined journal interior with only the cover changed. Second, focus on gift books, since gifting traditions drive December sales, citing dad jokes, funny books for adults, activity books, trivia books and motivational swear-word coloring books as gag-gift friendly categories. Third, make books for personal transformation — weight loss, diet, workout, self-help, relationships, business and finance titles — because buyers start purchasing for New Year’s resolutions in Q4 into Q1. Throughout, he stresses niching broad ideas down, e.g. Christmas knock-knock jokes or joke books for kids age 4 to 8, to cut competition.

Key takeaways

• Publish seasonal books a couple months before each holiday so the sales spike is already building when the holiday arrives
• Reuse one simple interior, such as a blank lined journal, across many seasonal covers to create books quickly and for free
• Niche down broad seasonal keywords — for example by audience, age range or joke type — instead of competing on generic Christmas terms
• Target giftable categories in December, including dad jokes, funny adult books, activity books, trivia and swear-word coloring books
• Position transformation topics like weight loss, diet, fitness, self-help, business and finance for the Q4-to-Q1 New Year’s resolution buying wave
