5 Weird KDP Niches Quietly Taking Over Amazon
About this video
Sean lists five unusual niches he says have real demand, with the caveat that execution and book quality still decide results. One: cozy crime scene coloring books, mixing cute animals and cozy bold-and-easy art with crime scenes to combine the cozy coloring and true crime audiences; he cites a leading series at about $35 a day in royalties and suggests roughly 40 single-sided pages at 8.5x8.5 inches and building series variations, while warning to check trademark issues around famous characters. Two: chair yoga for seniors over 60, especially 28- or 30-day programmes for strength, mobility, balance or weight loss, priced around $15.99–$19.99; he cites examples at about $54 a day but stresses accuracy, research and review by a qualified instructor because it is health content. Three: hidden objects activity books with 25–50 scenes, priced around $10.99–$12.99, where he cites books earning roughly $1,000–$2,000 a month despite few reviews. Four: dad jokes, evergreen plus gift-season spikes, where generic books get buried so he advises targeting new dads, grandpas or kids with 500–1,000 original jokes. Five: true crime story collections, the highest-content option, monetised across paperback, ebook and especially audiobook, requiring careful research and sensitivity around victims and families.
Key takeaways
- Cozy crime scene coloring books work by merging two audiences — cozy coloring buyers and true crime fans — into one distinctive product
- Chair yoga for seniors is a durable, higher-priced niche, but health accuracy and professional review are essential before publishing
- Hidden objects books use a familiar format: themed scenes, a list of items to find, and answers at the back
- Dad joke books sell year-round and spike at gift occasions, but specific angles like new dads or grandpas beat generic collections
- True crime collections have multi-format upside, especially audio, but demand real research and care with sensitive case details
