Do This to DOUBLE Your KDP Sales FAST (Guaranteed)
About this video
Sean reviews seven subscriber books, rating each out of five, and repeats that most fail on keyword choice, clarity, reviews, formats or cover. ‘Car Trip Trivia for Smart Kids’ (3/5) looks decent but sits at a BSR around 1,478,000 because, he says, no road trip trivia books are selling — the topic was never validated. A gut-health book titled ‘Cultural Diversity and Digestion’ (4/5) should be retitled around ‘gut health cookbook,’ the keyword competitors sell on; he also tells the author to add ebook and hardcover versions, build better A+ content (DIY in Canva or via a Fiverr gig), and get more than its 14 reviews, suggesting the Pubby service. A mazes book for 6-year-olds (2/5) repeats its title in the subtitle instead of stating benefits — he suggests something like ‘200 amazing and challenging animal mazes for smart kids’ — and its cover fails to showcase a maze, unlike every selling competitor. A word search book for kids 8-10 (4/5) has strong design but only one review and is not niched down enough; adding a theme like animals or unicorns would reduce needed ad spend. An essential oils hidden-message word search (2.5/5) is at about 5 million BSR, priced too high at $12.99 with almost no reviews, and should target ‘hidden message word search’ instead. A US history book (1.5/5) is unclear, unprofessional and reviewless. The strongest book, a narcissistic abuse recovery workbook (4/5), already sells at about 82,000 BSR — Book Beam estimates 1-3 copies and about $9 a day, per Sean — but needs a clear title (‘Narcissistic Abuse Recovery Workbook’), a text-heavy cover modeled on competitors (one he cites at 1,700 BSR making $1,300 a day in royalties), more formats, and price anchoring: ebook $7.99-$8.99, paperback $11-$13, hardcover $21-$23 so buyers pick the paperback.
Key takeaways
- Validate the topic before creating the book: if no competing books on the keyword are selling, the book likely will not either
- Title for the exact keyword customers type (e.g. ‘gut health cookbook,’ ’narcissistic abuse recovery workbook’) — be clear, don’t be cute
- Never repeat the title in the subtitle; use the subtitle for benefits, audience, quantity and difficulty, and niche down with a theme
- Add ebook and hardcover formats and use price anchoring — price ebook near paperback and hardcover high so the mid-priced paperback sells
- Reviews, A+ content (minimum three modules) and covers that showcase the product/interior like top competitors are recurring gaps in almost every book reviewed
