Your Books WON'T SELL… Unless You Do THIS (Amazon KDP)

About this video

The creator reviews books submitted by viewers and explains why they are not selling, returning repeatedly to demand, reviews, and positioning. A mystical creatures coloring book has a strong, distinctive cover, he says, but the topic itself shows weak demand and few successful competitors, and the books have almost no reviews; he suggests retitling around a more searched term such as monster coloring books for kids, getting to at least ten reviews, and running ads to proven keywords. Other examples show different failures: a Kama Sutra book with a tiny, zoomed-out 3D cover and a subtitle that states no benefit or audience, a 446-page planner combining calendar, weekly planner, and gratitude journal that he argues is too bulky and should be split into separate books, and a music-linked coloring book whose clever QR-code soundtrack concept is undermined by a confusing title. A gem and mineral log book and a humorous pigeon poetry gag book are judged to have potential because they are already selling sporadically despite few reviews, but both need better covers, clearer titles without keyword stuffing, expanded A+ content showing the interior up close, more reviews, and only then ads to amplify a book that already converts.

Key takeaways

• Check demand first: if top books for a keyword have poor sales ranks, a good cover will not create a market.
• Books with zero or one review rarely sell; aim for at least 10 reviews before expecting ads or organic sales to work.
• Make the cover fill the thumbnail, use a clear 2D design, and state the benefit and audience in the subtitle.
• Do one thing well rather than combining several formats into one oversized book.
• Improve conversion with reviews, a strong cover, and 3-5 A+ content modules before spending on Amazon ads.
