This guy is great! Been schlepping through less than stellar "How to' Kindle videos and such a relief to find someone who gets to the point. Crisp, clear, edifying, easy-to-understand instructions, etc. Yay! Thank you. Kindlepreneur.
Happy to help! I like to make my videos the same way I like to watch videos :) So, glad you noticed that.
Yay Dave. As a newbie self publisher I’m really appreciating your insightful sharing. And for me Publisher Rocket is proving a real boon, not just for finding keywords but to understand my competitors, AND to research new book ideas. Well done!
That's awesome to hear and thank you! Glad you like it.
I was very pleasantly surprised today when I was watching a video in Mark Dawson's SPF University course and found out you were hosting it. I've wanted Publisher Rocket for a while now, but when you demonstrated everything it does, I realized I basically need it if I'm going to efficiently find keywords for my book. Thanks for all your great content!
This gentleman is phenomenal. Incredibly practical and helpful information delivered in a professional, user-friendly manner. Bravo and thank you!
Dave, your timing is incredibly perfect. Had just been trying to Google these exact questions. Thanks so much for a great presentation and such useful information. Differentiating between the benefits for non-fiction versus fiction was a huge insight. Thanks again.
Very welcome and glad to have helped!
Thank you so much, Dave! This answered a huge question for me. I've tried both ways but had no real way to track my results easily. This is great advice.
Just starting out on my KPD journey. This was really, really helpful. Great delivery from you, but also extremely valuable information. Many thanks for this. Will be checking out your other stuff.
Glad it was helpful!
And now how you journey going?
Do you mind sharing your experiences
It's nice to know, and to let you know that a book cover designer from Bulgaria said her authors use Publisher Rocket in Australia to get there books up in ranks, and she sent me your video. YOU are quite the guy. Thanks for everything that you do.
Dave is great! His videos are so helpful and spot on. I asked him a question and within one day he sent me a link. Wow!
Got it! Thank you so much. I'm going to go apply my new knowledge right now.
I've tinkered with my Keywords over the years until I'm red in the face!! I'm not too convinced as to how effective they really are. Of course, there are a load of other factors to consider too if one wants to increase sales. I've yet to find them, though! Great presentation as always, Dave. I live in hope :)
I've also studied them, tried various combos and it seems to make jack difference at the end of the day
This was an excellent explanation. I was wondering about this keyword conundrum. I just got Publisher Rocker yesterday and have been researching keywords for my books, I am going to experiment on the Kindle versions to see if the rankings improve. Thanks.
Oh very cool and glad you found this then.
Oh my goodness Dave, every time I have a question you have a well thought out, thorough answer. Truly amazing. Thank you so much ! And thank you for the Book Marketing podcast as well, I have learnt so much.
Very helpful! Thank u for this. Will be launching my book soon!
Awesome and glad to have helped.
This is awesome! I purchased Publisher Rocket back in December and have been spending a lot of time redoing and updating key words. Spending many many hours doing key word searches had kinda sorta had a general idea similar to this form in the back of my mind but I was hesitant to try it because it was counter to the “group wisdom” in the KDP larger community. Thank you!!!
Nice and glad you found it. That should definitely help!
Wow Dave ! You’re awesome to watch. You made that so easy to understand. I like you 👍🏻
Glad you think so!
Thank you so much! This is great. I was searching for advice on keywords and this video is short and to the point.
Glad it was helpful!
I've just found your channel. I have never binge watched someones channel before until today. Thank you for taking the time to create such juicy info.
You are so welcome!
This video has helped me quite a bit. I was using those 7 spaces incorrectly, unfortunately I have to go back and fix quite a few books, but fortunately I now know HOW to use those 7 keyword boxes!
That's awesome and glad to have helped!
This makes me glad I woke up early. Thanks Dave! Just finished my fifth draft and plan on my first publication to be this March! Super excited. You are making my dream more possible.
Haha...that's awesome. Gotta love a good morning start and super happy to help!
Great information. Thanks for this video. I need to go back and revisit my keywords.
Absolutely and glad you liked it!
Wow! Thanks for your amazing information and clarity.
Glad it was helpful!
Oh no, I was waiting for you to give us an example. I have bought your publisher rocket, and absolutely love it. I had selected a category in my mind that I was confident was going to rock, but when I used the keyword rocket I saw that there is a lot of demand, but also competition is extremely high and for an unknown author, that is not the best category for me to start with. So I REALLY appreciate the software and how it has helped shape my strategic decision. I might circle back to this category later, but not to start with.
this is one of the greatest channel İ have discovered recently. Great content
Glad you like it!
Thank you for sharing. First time Author.
Amazing, three year old video more pertinent than most. Not just based on the RUclipsr's experience, feeling, limited knowledge, but on a study of many books, who does that? Very interesting study results. Thanks.
I wish I could give this video a million thumbs up! I'm actually in the process of changing the keywords for some of my books and I was struggling with the exact decision. This helps a whole lot. Thanks Dave!
Awe thanks! :)
i dont understand how this video helped you? he doesnt answer the question which is the title of this video...
@@mr.gametester9217 I didn't answer "Use all 50 Characters or Not?" Because at 7:33, I'm pretty sure I did.
@@andreasmith1813 why so rude? dont judge. i didnt attack someones person. only critize content so he can be better and bigger like an elephant. better than being fake and sycophant :)
@@Kindlepreneur is the answer: "you should do both?" then this video is definetely too long for me... :) im slow because in youtube is too many shit videos and i must seperate the good ones...hard work...just critize content.
Hello Dave! I caught your interview on The Authorpreneur Secret podcast with C.Ruth Taylor. Can't wait for Atticus to hit the market. Good interview!!
Super helpful video! Thanks for creating this, Dave. Appreciate it!
My pleasure!
My clarify question for this video, "Do we use the text box for only ONE long tail keyword phrase - OR - can we include two long tail keyword phrases in one text box?"
If Amazon reads each of the 7 Text Fields as BROAD searches, then WHY use long tail keyword phrases in the 7 Text Fields at all?
Trying to understand by putting ONLY one long keyword phrase per box is helpful to RANK for that long tail keyword or not.
Thanks for your video channel. I feel it's one of the more reliable resources when it comes to KDP.
I appreciate your feedback 🙂
We have this on the tutorial page, but it will definitely answer your question here: kindlepreneur.com/7-kindle-keywords/
@@Kindlepreneur this article really help answer my question if you go straight to the Solution Link. Thanks Dave!
Do categories help you rank?
I see you offer a course on Categories & Keywords. If categories do play a role in ranking I'll sign up for it!
Yes, I have the same question.
Thank you for sharing this information! Very insightful and I will be putting this information to use right away!!
This is one of my go to videos
Absolutely wonderful vid. The only thing is you said there would be a link below to the written article about the same thing. But there is no link :)
Thanks for your very helpful videos Dave. I've just bought your publisher software and along with all these hints, I can start to see what I've been doing wrong.
Thank you very much, Dave. I am going to try this out and see how it affects my sales and ranking. it was a really interesting video and you did quite a heroic deed by teaming up with those hundred authors to get results. Awesome idea. You have my gratitude.
That's very helpful! Thanks a lot!
Bought publisher rocket a few days ago. Great product!
Awesome and super glad you like it. Made my morning to read that.
Thanks my brother for this tutorial.
You are the best.
You are welcome
The competitive score mentioned in the vid is quite high (73) & is described as "good". But I understand that a good competitive score should be low. Kindly explain. (The rest of the vid was great, thanks.)
7:32 onwards is a really good point. Thanks.
Glad to help.
Awesome info! I just love how we can learn from the mistakes too, just amazing. Gotta love that author who made the mistake.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hello, please I have uploaded a lot of books on Amazon and yet to make my first sale, please can anyone help?
I must say, the information is very valuable! You resemble Mark Anthony , a great deal!
Thanks for this video Dave! Question: what about keywords in 2 different boxes --> does AMZ index and rank a book for that as well? Say you have 'sci-fi' in box 1 and 'military' in box 2, would this book be indexed and rank for 'sci-fi military' and 'military-sci-fi'?
Yeah we didn’t think about that when we did the experiment so I can’t say. Sorry :(
I've the same question as well!
I'm pretty sure I recently read somewhere that all 50 characters are used together, as in it doesn't even matter what box a particular word is even in. I have no idea if this is true or not though.
@@Kindlepreneur Can you update this question with an answer, please? I am a Publisher Rocket user, love your product!
I have the same question.
I really like your videos and the way you explain things easily. I'm launching my first children's book in the next couple of months and I'm going to check out Publisher Rocket. Thanks for this great info!
You can do it!
Probably the clearest info to date on keywords, cheers!
I have a question though, I've just created a book aimed at "for him" ie for women buying for their male partners, and narrowed down all the keywords from the Rocket results to suit (for him, for men, for husbands, etc) But the same books are appearing on other Rocket competition results for "for girlfriends" "for wives" etc.
So they must have put all the 'female' words in the back end as well as the 'male' words, which to my mind is diluting the 'male' ones which I think you said in the video we should avoid. Do you think they must have chucked them into slots 5,6 &7? I'm trying to be more focussed on my keywords as I think I have been too vague in the past trying to catch as many eyeballs as possible.
Could be. Or it could be amazon indexing them for it anyways testing to see if that works well as well. When a book starts showing that it is getting sales and succeeding in the Amazon store for its target keywords, Amazon starts automatically indexing you for more terms.
Why not put your main keyword for a book (which is a also phrase cause it mostly is more than 1 word) in just one box if it gets a litte bit more priorty? As i understand its a little bit different than that you advise here with filling out 1 to 3 boxes with a phrase.
Very informative and well presented!
Nice! Glad you finally did a video for this article. Great read by the way.
Thanks man!
Am I wasting my slot if I include a word that is in my title?
Thanks for the detailing love the way your get to the point without a long drawn out story…keep it up people like me need help…I’m a beginner
Hello, please I have uploaded a lot of books on Amazon and yet to make my first sale, please can anyone help?
Thanks for this great help! YOu always provide such value.
Awesome and that means a lot to hear :)
Nice explanation 👍
Thank you! I've been looking for clear advices on keywords, and this video answers it all! You got a new follower ;)
Awesome, thank you!
Hi, thanks for the great video. I just have a question to do with the 7 boxes. For example, if in my first box I have the word notebook and in the seventh I have for dad, would my notebook appear in the search notebook for dad? Do all the boxes link together in some way? Thanks
thank you so much bro for this such information
Always welcome
Just released my 1st book Playerism The Seven Levels Of The Game Simpology this was great advice
Awesome and best of luck with the launch.
Thanks for the excellent video, Dave!
My pleasure!
Thanks for the tips. Very valuable info.
My pleasure!
DID NOT KNOW THIS!!! I need to go back and fix my keywords.
Awesome!
Thank you Dave
!
Great stuff.Hope you will keep updating the value able info like this.Thanks a lot.
I'll do my best!
Great explanation, thanks! Do you know if the broad match applies across the seven boxes? If I put "party" and "guest" in one box and "book" in another box, would Amazon index for "party guest book"?
I have this exact question :)
Sadly, when we did the experiment and hadn't thought to check that so I can't say.
@@Kindlepreneur maybe next time!
Amazon advises that the keyword "book" should be avoided.
Hello, please I have uploaded a lot of books on Amazon and yet to make my first sale, please can anyone help?

Hi Dave, Is this still accurate 3 years later? Thanks. ... Also I purchased Publisher Rocket in 2019..and I genuinely LOVE it! Thanks for creating it!
Yup it still is accurate today. And awesome to hear. Glad you like it.
thanks for this
Well explained wish all could do the same some just talk cause they have to create a video and go off the point or are more concern who comes to view their videos short and sweet to the point is great 👍🏻
Glad you liked it.
Greetings from Colombia/El inmigrante venezolano escritor/writer 🌎
Dave you're a legend, great content.
Have got publisher rocket, is the ideal scenario on the keyword search as follows:
1) High Searches
2) High Earnings
3) Low Competitors?
Pretty much, yup!
Hello, please I have uploaded a lot of books on Amazon and yet to make my first sale, please can anyone help?
Thanks, Dave.
If I go back and change my key words will it help my books show up more. Or is it too late after 2 months?
This is awesome information!
Thanks!
Thank you, you explaine it so good
You are welcome!
This was great, man. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great video (slowly getting through them). I am wondering if using commas helps define specific keywords and phrases...? :)
No, don't use them. Even Amazon warns not to.
Killer video Dave. Helpful data! Thanks.
Thanks and glad you liked it.
Okay, here’s what I don’t understand. Amazon says you shouldn’t use Amazon categories as your keywords because keywords are basically just metadata and Amazon already has that particular metadata firmly in place for you. So if you put your book into, say, the Fantasy category and the subcategories Dark, Epic, and Romantic (and I understand you can get your book placed in up to 10 categories), how is it helping you to use those as keywords? I understand plenty of people search for “dark epic romantic fantasy”-but if my category selection already puts me in these searchers’ path, is Amazon misinforming me as to the utility of using those words as keywords, or what?
From my experience, it doesn't hurt to have them in both (so no penalization) and I've only seen rankings for the keyword increase. More importantly, like i show in the experiment, the words in your 7 boxes are used to form more phrases and combinations. I didn't see this effect include Categories.
Thanks for your amazing and informative videos. For AMS keywords do we have to consider singular or plural word? For example, if I want to use "Children book about lion." do I have to also use "Childrens book about lion.", "Children books about lion", "childrens books about lions." as keywords?
How about wrong spelling? Are these factors affect AMS ad?
Yes, the more options you give Amazin in AMS keywords, the more opportunities it has to show you to shoppers. And don't worry, you only pay Amazon when they show your book AND someone is interested enough to click on it.
Awesome Dave! This video helps a lot!
Hello, please I have uploaded a lot of books on Amazon and yet to make my first sale, please can anyone help?
This is very interesting and a question I would never ask (thus) I would call this Hijacking or HACKING and of course others would call being impossible.
Considering that it is in line with Amazon's information on Meta data, I wouldn't call it hacking. But to each their own.
Thank you! For example: lined notebook for husband. Should I use "for" or just put a phrase "lined notebook husband boyfriend him man men" in a slot? Thank you!
Like I said in the video, I’d that particular phrase is a great one and you truly want to target it, then put that exact phrase.
@@Kindlepreneur thank you! Like u said we need to write particular phrases in 3 - 4 first slots, and relaevant words in the rest. Is it correctly understood? thank you!
This is BIG thank you thank you
Glad to have helped
Great video, Dave. Two questions for me, please? Through the SPF course, I learnt how to put together keyword phrases. I have researched some of my own through Publisher Rocket and come up with a few phrases with one different word in each. For example: Historical WW2 family saga and Historical war family saga. Is it okay to use both and the other combos I've come up with putting them into my 7 keyword boxes, or should I only be sticking to one? My second question, when a keyword or phrase has been entered into the Amazon search box displaying the search results, does the first book appearing mean that it has the greatest number of sales than the rest listed therefore Amazon awarding it's 1st place ranking? If so, it would then be pretty difficult to rank high if say 3000 books have been indexed for that particular keyword, right? Thanks Dave.
1. Yes
2. It means that book is benefitting from that keyword the most. Does not necessarily mean that book makes the most.
@@Kindlepreneur Many thanks for clearing that up.
Wonderful video!
Great video, thanks for it.
I have a quick clarifying question though...
@7:55 you say, "Use 3-4 of the boxes..."
Do you mean, use 3-4 of the boxes for variations on "Epic Fantasy Dark Romance"...? Like, Dark Epic Romance Fantasy... Fantasy Dark Epic Romance...
OR, do you mean, use 3-4 of the boxes for other properly researched, related terms to Epic Fantasy Dark Romance and then use the rest of them for general terminology?
Yes, use the specific phrase you want inside the 3-4...and don't try to fill those boxes up with more words or characters.
OK, so in that example, the terms in those three to four boxes would be as varied as EPIC FANTASY DARK ROMANCE in one, DRAGON WARRIOR DUNGEON in another, repeating nothing, meanwhile in the other boxes is more chaotic and potentially repetitive?
@@ErickMertz Yup
Fantastic Info! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Very good info, thanks!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks
I appreciate you so much!
Great video! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
Thanks - clear and cordial/
Thanks a lot, great video. I assume the findings are still valid. Question: Did I get it right, that Amazon does not index for keywords in the description (only title/subtitle and 7 keywords)? Thanks for clarification.
Yup - still valid. As for your question, here's the answer: kindlepreneur.com/keywords-in-your-book-description/
@@Kindlepreneur thanks a lot, great article!
Thanks! This helps so much!
Awesome and glad to have helped.
Thanks for your video! So I want to put the phrase "Blank lined floral notebook for women" in one of my keyword boxes but some of these words are already in my title. So should I include different phrases to put in my keyword boxes? Also, is it ok to put more than one long-term keyword phrases in the same box? Amazon will just re-arrange the keyword phrases like in the video? Correct? Sorry for all of the questions. Thank you!
Yes, I have the same questions.
Hi Dave, how many ebooks per day to upload in kdp? just curious.
you've have informative videos. 👍
My novel "The Sight", doesn't show up when I search for the title alone. It only shows up when I search for my author name, V. H. Mizzell, or for my name and title combined. What's up with that? Customer support only responds with double talk.
