This Amazon KDP Niche Will Blow Your Mind (They Do 6 Figures a Year)

About this video

Sean profiles the Captivating History pen name as an example history niche he found in keyword research. He says it has 96 books on topics such as ancient Nubia, the Middle Kingdom of ancient Egypt and modern Greece, and that KDSPY estimates about $32,000 a month in total: $15,000 from audiobooks, $5,300 from hardcover, $6,840 from Kindle and about $5,000 from paperback, noting the estimate is not 100% accurate and not all books show. He stresses you do not need 100 books to earn from the niche. To replicate a successful title, he says to study its table of contents via Look Inside to build your own outline, noting the books are mostly text with stock images rather than hard-to-produce illustrations. A 144-page book implies about 30,000 words, which he says you can order from the Urban Writers or the Hot Ghost Writers. For covers he says Fiverr can cost $5 to $10, but recommends 99 Designs or 100 Covers at $100 to $200 maximum for something better. He advises adding your own twist rather than ripping off the original, publishing, and running some AMS ads, since paid ads also lift organic sales.

Key takeaways

• Sean says the Captivating History pen name has 96 books and KDSPY estimates about $32,000 a month across audio, hardcover, Kindle and paperback
• History offers many topics across countries and eras, so one pen name can publish many books in the niche
• Study a top seller’s table of contents with Look Inside to build your own outline, and add a unique twist rather than copying
• A 144-page nonfiction book is about 30,000 words, which Sean says can be outsourced to the Urban Writers or the Hot Ghost Writers
• Budget $100 to $200 maximum for a cover from 99 Designs or 100 Covers, rather than a $5 to $10 Fiverr cover, then publish and run AMS ads
