Your Books Are INVISIBLE on Amazon KDP - Unless You Do THIS

About this video

In this subscriber book-review episode, Sean Dollwet critiques submitted KDP books and explains why they are not selling. Two relaxation coloring books from the same author have only a few reviews and, he says, took an ‘upload and forget’ approach in a very broad, competitive keyword; he advises niching down (for example by fantasy theme, age group, or boys/girls), checking demand for each variation, fixing small AI image errors on covers/interiors, and actually marketing. An ADHD parenting guide is criticized for an overly long title with inconsistent capitalization, a scary cover unlike the bright, mostly text-based covers of top sellers, confusing positioning and description, and grammar errors he says can be checked with ChatGPT; he suggests modeling competitor covers and using a keyword buyers actually search, such as an ADHD parenting guide phrasing. A children’s Christmas book titled only with its character’s name has effectively no keyword in its title or subtitle, so Amazon cannot rank it for searches like ‘Christmas book for kids 4 to 8.’ A sci-fi interactive adventure book, by contrast, has a good title structure and product elements but, with only seven reviews, mainly lacks marketing; he recommends Amazon ads and, for fiction, Facebook ads.

Key takeaways

• Avoid broad keywords as a beginner: niche a topic down by theme, audience and age group, then verify each variation still has demand, so you need less ad spend to rank on page one.
• Do not upload and forget: books in competitive categories need marketing and ads, and more reviews than the handful the reviewed books had.
• Put the exact keyword buyers type into the title or at least the subtitle — a character name or a single generic word like ‘Christmas’ gives Amazon almost nothing to rank.
• Make titles and covers professional and consistent: capitalize title words consistently, keep titles from truncating, and model the cover style of top sellers in the niche instead of copying them.
• Fix AI artifacts before scaling: he says AI coloring books can sell well, but visible image inconsistencies should be cleaned up or they will draw bad reviews as sales grow.
