I like so much your content and i watch all your videos Paul, but i have a question... i know that the main reason that KDP gurus like you to put out videos about KDP on youtube is to grow the channel and get another source of income ... but the question is: is not partly inconvenient for those of us who are dedicated to KDP, considering that it is direct competition in the niches? I need to answer that question and understand why many gurus give so much information for free

But I can't figure out what the third step is (unless I'm mistaken or misheard & you didn't intend for this to be a "three step process?) Could you clarify and let me know what that is? Thanks for all the info you offer. Just wondering if I missed something. BTW: that chart is great! Thx.

[@tiberiutomescu5490]

Hi Paul! I want to ask why you are looking under "All" and not "Books"? Since the products we're looking for are books, isn't it more relevant to search under "Books"? The differences in results are huge. For example, "manifestation journal for teens" in "Books" brings up over 4000 results and in "All" 360. This seems to me a very good question to which I have not yet found a satisfying answer.

[@paulmarles]

I’ve done a video on this but the main reason is because this is the category that customers are searching in.

[@journalsbyjaydis5840]

@@paulmarles for me, the niche that I publish in is a technical trade also, so I find that when I am searching in "ALL" for words associated with my niche, my pages are gunked up with tools and products of that trade, and it's hard to find the books. But when I filter by "BOOKS" I'm able to gather my niche research data. Would you say this is a good tactic or not so much? Let's just say - Example - If I'm in the automotive niche and create a "coloring book for mechanics" or "log book for mechanics", I find that tools of the trade come up in the "ALL" category - socket wrenches, screw drivers, mechanic hand soap, etc... vs. when I filter by "BOOKS" Thanks!

Hi Paul! Do you think it is important to consider how many books on the first page have been published in a specific amount of days? Example - how many published in 30 / 60 / 90 days. Should this play into the decision to publish in this niche or not?

[@paulmarles]

That's not something I've ever taken into account. I guess if there's lots of books published recently, making saless and low review counts it may be a bonus.

Paul - I love your tutorial videos, and was wondering how I might get the BSR to appear in my search results on Amazon. The only way the BSR shows in my searches is if I go into each individual product and look at the Product Details section. Would you be using a plug-in that gives results for all products on the page that comes up in the Amazon search, as they appear in your video, i.e., "876 in books"?

[@paulmarles]

It's a free Chrome plugin called DS Amazon Quick View

[@TracyMinsterman]

For the three journals with BSR

[@paulmarles]

I normally just look at the organic but if sponsored listings do have decent BSR’s that’s still an indication of sales being made in a niche.

[@paulmarles]

No. You are just looking to see if sales are being made in the type of product you want to list. In the example you give or could be that there is a demand for paperback books of that type or it may be an untapped niche. Probably more likely the former.
