Amazon KDP Authors: No One Will Buy Your Book Unless You Do THIS

About this video

In a rapid-fire review of subscriber-submitted books, the creator diagnoses why he thinks each is not selling. Several coloring books fail on the cover: the image does not signal a coloring book, does not show a colored interior page, uses thin orange text on an orange background with poor contrast, or looks generic and mismatched to inconsistent interior art apparently compiled from stock sources. He stresses that zero reviews, no clear keyword, and overly broad titles like a general autumn or love coloring book leave a book undiscoverable, while the opposite error — niching an enchanted-beast coloring book down to teens — can kill demand when a search shows no other books on that exact topic selling. A fictional adventure pairing historical and modern figures is used to argue that a passion idea without any proof of demand for similar books will not sell, because buyers only pay when they perceive value. A fiction book with a scary cover and no explanatory subtitle confuses browsers who will not read a long description, especially with only a few reviews; he advises using the subtitle to state genre and premise unless you already have a large audience. A stained-glass sunflower coloring book is criticised for small misplaced title text and obviously flawed AI art, which he says should be fixed or abandoned rather than marketed.

Key takeaways

• A coloring book cover must instantly read as a coloring book: show a colored-in interior page, with thick, high-contrast, easily readable title text
• Books with zero reviews and no launch effort will struggle; uploading and forgetting is not a sales strategy
• Use keywords people actually search for and niche by age, audience or topic — but verify other books on that narrowed topic are actually selling
• Do not build a book purely on passion: check for demand for comparable books first, because customers will not adjust to the seller
• Use the subtitle to explain genre and premise in seconds, especially for fiction without hundreds of reviews or an existing following
