Hello, this is Rob cabin. When you are thinking of your idea for your book, it's very important to consider amazon kindle SEO, and optimize your book title and other meta elements of your book for the Amazon search engine. Now I have to confess that I'm probably not the best person to talk about Amazon SEO, because the best people would be the specialists who write special niche books about subjects that are in high demand with low competition. SEO is all about getting subjects or keywords that are in high demand with low competition. Whereas when I'm trying to write a book, I just want to write a book about a topic I'm passionate about. However, you've got to put a nod towards SEO because it will help get your book in front of more People than otherwise.

And I'll explain how to do that. But here's a couple of links for kindle SEO. The first one will give you a discount for merchant words and merchant words tells you how many times certain keywords are searched for on the Amazon Kindle platform. And the KDP Rocket software gives you more information about key words and competition on the Amazon Kindle platform. And I'll show you how to use those two tools. But first of all, let's show you what I mean by Amazon SEO.

Because people are shopping on Amazon. How do they find the products? Well, they go into the top here and they search. Maybe they search in the Kindle Store. Maybe they search in books, or maybe they just search in all departments. But whatever title you are thinking of or whatever subject you're thinking of writing a book about, you need to think about the keywords that people will use to find this A lot of subjects.

So maybe you're interested in buying a book about passive income, you would search for passive income in the Kindle Store. And this is what you get a lot of books on passive income. Note that the first two words in the title are always passive income. Of course, in order to rank for certain phases, there are many things you should do. Putting the keyword in the title, of course, is one of the most important, but you also need to put it in the description in the subtitle, in your author bio, in the reviews, not suggesting that you get people to write reviews and you write them for them, but it's a factor. And of course there are the seven back end keywords that you put in when you are uploading your book@kdp.amazon.com.

I've shown you that in another video, but how do you decide on the keywords Find the best place and I know it's a paid for service, but it's only $9 a month. And you could just use it for one month. So it'll only be $9 if you want. I'm not suggesting you should, but merchant words, I think is the best way to find keywords. So you might even find keywords that you hadn't thought of, which is why SEO is so important when you are thinking of a subject of a book to write. So here I've searched for web design in the Kindle store in Amazon us and when does it get 6 million searches every month, amazing number of searches there.

But what you want to do is look down into the less search for keywords because you will find there will be less competition, but still a lot of customers 1000 searches a month is a lot of customers. If you find a niche here That is not very competitive, you might find you do quite well. For example, Photoshop web design 3000 searches every month, this is a hell of a lot. So let's put it in the search there, Photo Shop web design. And I've chosen this because the books that are returned for that search aren't about first shot web design. They are about Photoshop.

And they're about web design, but there's only one that has web design and Photoshop in the title. And 3000 people search for this every month according to merchant words. So there's a an example of a niche that you may want to write a book on. And if you get 3000 customers a month then I suggest you will do quite well if the book is very good. Let's have a look at KDP Rocket and just to show you on this software, which does cost a lot Money, but it's less than $100 to get a lifetime's license, and you have a one month money back guarantee. And this gives you more information on keywords and competitors.

Here we've got Photoshop web design, we're actually getting a different number KDP Rocket suggests is less than 100 searches a month course I can't tell you which is right. The merchant words saying it's more like 3000 or KDP Rocket saying it's 100. But the competitive score there is 14, that's 14 out of 100. So it's not very competitive. You can click on Check competition there. And KDP Rocket will do a competition search.

And all that does is pulling information from the page where you search for Photoshop web design on Amazon. It's this page that we just looked at, but KDP Rocket then shows you the averaged review the number of reviews the price, and the monthly sales, as well as other information about the titles. Also, you can search for other seed keywords and KDP Rocket will give you ideas of other keywords along with an estimation of how much money those keywords would be making, how much they're search for, and the competitive score out of 100. So, the score being very low means there's not much competition. So you can use KDP Rocket, again to find keywords that are searched for regularly, but have low competition. So finally, this is all about finding a subject or a title for your book.

Make sure it's a subject you know a lot about you're passionate about, you can write a good book about. However, once you've made that decision, you should then have a look At the SEO and see what words you can put in the title or see what keywords you want to rank for, once you've written and published the book, and then you need to put them in the title and other areas when you're uploading the book. Now, let's have a look at this one as an example. It's doing very well it's number four in the main entrepreneurship category. And it's a book about minimalism, and you can see that the author is going for many popular keywords, minimalism minimalist or minimalist there twice minimalist lifestyle, save money, spend less budgets, there's about four or five keywords that you can imagine many people searching for every day on Amazon to buy Kindle books.

Remember that all these words need to be repeated in the description. Remember, it's They should be in your author bio. Remember, they should be in the reviews, and remember they should be in the back end keywords. So that's a little bit about Amazon Kindle SEO. I hope that helped you. My name is Rob carbon.

I'll see you in the next video.
