If You’re Stuck Under 10 Sales a Day on Amazon KDP, Watch This

About this video

Sean reviews subscriber-submitted Amazon KDP books and diagnoses why they are stuck under 10 sales a day. For a dividend investing book, he says the brand phrase in the title means nothing and confuses buyers, the cover looks like text wrapped around an unclear image in Canva, and it has no reviews; he suggests outsourcing a cover for what he describes as 10 bucks and using Book Reverb for reviews. For a Christmas romance with only three reviews and a 3.0 average, he warns that dropping below a 4.3 average rating basically stops sales. He criticises a stress-relief colouring book for targeting hyper-competitive keywords with, he says, 50,000 plus other books, instead of niching down, for example to women over 50. A decluttering hardcover priced at $39.99 with 336 pages and coloured pictures, he argues, leaves too little royalty to fund ads, so he recommends a cheaper-to-print paperback. Other books suffer from zero reviews, a confusing title, a poor text-based cover, or trying to cover financial freedom, happiness and love in 160 pages instead of solving one problem per book. A generic guided journal is likewise urged to niche down by audience and topic.

Key takeaways

• Be clear, not fancy: titles and covers must instantly explain what the book is and who it is for
• Get reviews early — a low average, which he puts below 4.3, can stop sales, especially with very few reviews
• Niche down by audience and topic instead of targeting broad keywords with tens of thousands of competitors
• Watch print costs and pricing: expensive hardcover colour interiors can leave too little margin to advertise
• Solve one problem per book as a specialist rather than cramming several topics into one generalist book
