Second is that there is no better place on the internet with so many readers. Who have their credit card out and who are ready to buy. This combination is so powerful.
Amazon has trained everybody with one-click buying that you can just buy immediately. So, what better place would you want to have your product where people can find it easily? That brings us into our third answer.
It is the secret answer today which is the best place to get your books found. There are 2 ways to do it best. One of them is choosing titles for your books that have a high search volume where lots of people are searching.
I use KDP Spy or Kindle Spy for this particular tool that I use that shows you what people are searching for books. Perhaps there are not many books showing up for that particular keyword.
The Winning Combination
Then on the second, once you have your book produced and it's out there on Amazon, you may change your title. To make sure that you have the correct keywords in there once you're going to want to run ads.
I use Publisher Rocket specifically for finding those keywords that are related to your book and that will help other people when you're running the ads. The combination of the following is the key to winning.
It is where people who are organically searching find your book and when they are searching for related keywords, they also send ads to your book. Considering the average author on Amazon is only making $1,000 a year for the books they have out there.
