Help CenterYou have published some books and not sure what to do next, or after a while you have had no sales you wonder what you can do to get some. Well in this FAQ, we give you some suggestions what to do next to get sales, or increase sales.
Are your books better quality then all the ones that sell, great cover, stands out, well designed? Interiors well done and care taken to make them, and not just a template used that a lot of others do? Are you honest with yourself when you compare yours to others, would you buy yours over others, honestly? Have you showed your friends and family your book, or better yet, 3 or 4 books in a niche which includes yours (but don't tell them which is yours or you even made a book if they don't know already) and ask them which they would choose, and if they didn't pick yours, then ask why. If you added a book in a drilled down niche that is still 10,000 books how will anyone see it buried on page 243?
One of the best things you can do on your Low Content books is to add A Plus to them, especially since Low Content books do not get the look inside feature (read sample) anymore. But you really should add A Plus to every book you do. This allows you to show off your book to everyone and it leaves little to no guess work to the customer how your book really looks. On KDP I feel like 80% of books do not take advantage of A Plus.
All of these links below are always available from the studio by clicking the "Learning" drop down menu at the top of the page.
From the Book Bolt Blog section we have a great article about A Plus. How To Add Images To Your KDP Listings.
KDP allows you to use Amazon Ads to promote your books as well. Even if you do not have a much money to spare, you can set daily budgets as low as a $1.00 per day. It can help your ranking with the Amazon Algorithm and get you closer to the first page when people search for books.
