I love the whiteboard. Thank you again for sharing your comment sense and how you work things out. Sometimes I miss your first video as they were more entertaining, but I know the way you do it now, you can give more valuable info
@@REFRESH-kf1iv I appreciate that. You are completely right. The first videos which were animated couldn't really give much value or explain why things are so valuable but they are great for beginners. I might be bringing them back :)
It's funny to me how I watch your videos with a notepad and a pen. If I hit my KDP target for the year...I'll find a way to show my appreciation to you, boss. Thanks for the tons of value.
So true mate! Been trying to tell people search results aren’t a great indicator. You don’t need to worry about literally 90% of books showing Another thing to mention… When you type in say Vegetarian cookbook for beginners….get to page 2/3 and all sorts of shit pops up- Keto, carnivore, paleo etc. furthest thing from competition
Reminds me of what Paul Marles said in one video that ' you are not competing against thousands of books, only the good ones'. Crucial reminder! The title 'The dumbest....', if it's a pun. I like it.
Right...makes sense. While entering a niche, low number of Exact matches on page 1 for keyword in Title + Subtitle - is it a good thing or not? With very low exact matches (like 2 or less) the search results are kind of vague. Everyone is having different opinions on this.
@@barrygeorgioukdp My apologies for the ambiguity; here’s a clearer version of my question. I am trying to decide a niche to publish my book into. Let's take your example of "Vegetarian cookbook for beginners". When the search results appear, say out of 48 results, the titles of 5 of them contain this exact keyword - "Vegetarian cookbook for beginners". Other results are somewhat related, like - "The Plant-Based Diet for Beginners", or some other results have low relevance to the keyword we used. So what I am asking is, is this "number of Exact matches" an important criteria while deciding whether to publish the book in that niche? If yes, then what is the optimal number? If there are less number of exact matches - the results are all over the place. If there are too many exact matches, then the competition is high for that keyword. Your thoughts please.
@allcaps5493 I look at multiple different prices of data to decide if I'm going to publish in a niche or not. I've got a full niche research training inside my community. Click the link in the description of my latest video. Join the community using your 7 day free trial. Watch the training and then you can leave the community if you don't want to continue. That training should clear everything up for you :)
I love how practical and logical you are in your research, Barry. It makes absolute sense. You are the Billy Beane / Moneyball of KDP in the way that you have a very simple yet highly effective and intelligent way of evaluating your niches. Thanks so much for sharing this, "Barry Beane"! I am looking forward to trying this.
Great video bro, and I stopped giving much attention to search results many years ago. Although I often advise beginners relying on organic sales to look at search results to determine competition, as I think to a *certain degree* it may help to determine how competitive a niche is.
Completely agree. I advise to look at the search results number first to even see if its worth investigating a niche deeper. But its all about your high seling competitors :)
@barrygeorgioukdp lol. I am. Each day I wake up to make a positive change in oneself is a good start to my day. Great video and knowledge, it's appreciated.
@barrygeorgioukdp most definitely. I wish you the same brother. Enjoy life and all of it's possibility one day at a time. Be safe out here. Much support for your channel.
It’s a good perspective to look at the niche research in fact if the book is on page 3-5-50 for the “vegetarian cookbook for beginners”, it might be still your competitor because there is a chance it’s ranking for a bunch of similar keywords and still making decent sales. IMO it’s better to look at your category bestsellers. That’s where you see all your competitors and identify who is really the competitor and who is just there by accident.
Very good question. The more important question to ask is 'How can I make my book stand out from the competitors?'. This way the number of competitors won't matter as much because you are unique but if you really want me to give you a solid number, I like to publish in niches with roughly 3-8 high selling competitors :)
is there anyway that people who have bought the course can start learning the course the beta testers learned for the 397 price? im finding that trying to find a niche is hard for me and having to wait 3 more weeks is painful. i wish i had access to some course. its hard to have to wait. i need some serious guidance that only money can buy. its hard to wait. keep doing what you're doing but can us who preordered at least have access to the beta course and then the new course. something to feed our apetite till the course comes out.
So, if there are 10k results and only 6-7 books are selling is it a good niche? Just to clarify some thoughts I have in my head right now.. hmm And also what happens if we increase this number progressively. For example 20k results but 12 books are selling. Is it the same or it starting to get lost since the search results are going massively high? And what about 5k results and 2 are selling vs 10k results 10 selling? I'm just trying to understand the "ratio" of it
@@barrygeorgioukdp That should do it. Cool! And if out of those 5k results the 2 are selling well, is it good to go for that niche? Or you maybe look for a niche with 5k results and 4-5 books that are selling? This basically means you have to compete with more books since it's not only 2 but like 5 but doesn't that also mean the demand is bigger?
This is honestly one of the most useful videos on research that I've seen, and something that I had also concluded on my own. Although lately I just think of it as how many spots are "free" on the front page. Free as in not occupied by direct competitors that are actually selling well.
Thanks for tutorial, please am struggle to make sales per month, I do make $3 per month. Please I want you to enlighten me the issues What the recent profitable niches?
I dont think you're asking the correct question. I would recommend you browse around the channel and find videos that will help you reach the next level in your publishing journey :)

Thank you for making this video. Really appreciate. Please make a video on keywords research.

Looking at the categories is also a great way to find competitors. Complete agree with you :)
Excellent, I start it all over again!
Thank you very much!
I'm glad you found the video helpful :)
What about creating a niche that doesnt exist yet? Whats your thoughts on it?
Good question. Personally I don't like publishing in these niches because there is no proof of demand :)
😲 I literally paused the video to go check and i confirm
:)
Very refreshing and informative. Nicely done.
I'm glad you found it valuable John :)
This is really insightful
Glad you found it valuable :)
This was super helpful. Thanks
I'm glad you found it valuable :)
Very Informative. Thank u very much
I'm glad you found it valuable :)
How encouraging! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful :)
Sometimes you can’t choose the niche, the niche chooses you.
I don't know why but this made me laugh but you are completely right. That's how I actually created my first successful book :)
Amazing Barry,
I think you don't need a STYLUS now😂😂
That poor STYLUS lol🤣🤣
This made me laugh :)
Given your criteria for which books are your competitors, how many books make a niche have too many competitors?
Very good question. The more important question to ask is 'How can I make my book stand out from the competitors?'. This way the number of competitors won't matter as much because you are unique but if you really want me to give you a solid number, I like to publish in niches with roughly 3-8 high selling competitors :)
You mean niche that just 8 person competing with ??
With just 8 publishers publishing on that topic???
rather, what he means is the number of well-selling books and how many books there are in the niche does not matter
@@kellysmart3266
@kellysmart3266 8 High selling competitors yes . I explain in the video exactly what I mean by this :)
is there anyway that people who have bought the course can start learning the course the beta testers learned for the 397 price? im finding that trying to find a niche is hard for me and having to wait 3 more weeks is painful. i wish i had access to some course. its hard to have to wait. i need some serious guidance that only money can buy. its hard to wait. keep doing what you're doing but can us who preordered at least have access to the beta course and then the new course. something to feed our apetite till the course comes out.
I have something coming up don't worry. You won't have to wait long :)
Barry, what is your email? do you have a facebook? Thanks :)
So, if there are 10k results and only 6-7 books are selling is it a good niche? Just to clarify some thoughts I have in my head right now.. hmm
And also what happens if we increase this number progressively. For example 20k results but 12 books are selling. Is it the same or it starting to get lost since the search results are going massively high? And what about 5k results and 2 are selling vs 10k results 10 selling? I'm just trying to understand the "ratio" of it
Great question. I don't look at ratio but I like niches with 5k results and under before I start counting my actual competitors :)
@@barrygeorgioukdp That should do it. Cool! And if out of those 5k results the 2 are selling well, is it good to go for that niche? Or you maybe look for a niche with 5k results and 4-5 books that are selling? This basically means you have to compete with more books since it's not only 2 but like 5 but doesn't that also mean the demand is bigger?
@VirusTechKEKW Good question. At this point I just look at how I can make a better book than everyone else:)
This is honestly one of the most useful videos on research that I've seen, and something that I had also concluded on my own.
Although lately I just think of it as how many spots are "free" on the front page. Free as in not occupied by direct competitors that are actually selling well.
Wow I love that. That's a very nice way of looking at it. So 'Free' spots as in books that you can 'eliminate' in a way. Correct me if I'm wrong :)
@@barrygeorgioukdpYes, that's it :)
Very Good!
:)
But why dont u tell about tools to use for keyword research like bookbeam n others??
I don't use bookbeam :)
Same taught as me 🤭
:)
Wow😮
:)
Awesome Video! Thank You
Glad you found it valuable :)
The problem is that there are NOT MANY niches with low supply and high demand. Period.
You're right, there are probably not many low supply, high demand niches out their, but that's not a problem, it's a benefit :)
Thanks for tutorial, please am struggle to make sales per month, I do make $3 per month.
Please I want you to enlighten me the issues
What the recent profitable niches?
