Course Description

Choosing the right keywords and categories can make a huge difference in how much exposure Amazon gives to your book.  

Do it correctly, and the number of readers who see your book will increase dramatically. Do it poorly, and your book will get little or no attention on Amazon.  

The problem most authors face though is that coming up with the right keywords and categories is extremely hard.  There are a lot of components to think about and ways to approach it. 

That's why I've created this course.  Through this, you'll be able to look over my shoulder as I show you how to approach finding the right keywords and categories, and how to best use them to your advantage. 

In this course, I will show you how to: 

  • Improve your books discoverability on Amazon
  • Find profitable keywords
  • Use your keywords in the most effective manner 
  • Understand how Amazon uses keywords to show your book
  • Use a proven process to select bestselling categories
  • Unlock the hidden categories that most authors and publishers don't know about
  • Increase the number of categories your book shows for
and more...

"Learn from Kindlepreneur on how to optimize your books for more sales" ~ Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing


So, if you'd like to get your book positioned in front of more shoppers, increase your sales, and hit that bestseller status, then be sure to check out this course.

The first half was extremely meaty and very worth every dollar spent. The second half was moderately covered before in a previous YouTube video but still provided a lot of extra value that I wouldn't have gotten elsewhere. Absolutely no complaints. The founder has my respect for getting in front of the camera and making a course. Most authors like me are camera shy. Thank you!

Hi Dave ~ Thanks for another stellar course, presented in clear, concise language that made it possible for me to actually learn how to use Amazon keywords effectively for my time travel science fiction novels. The bests thing about your courses, and this one included, is the way you break things down in detail, and give a step-by-step path through determining the most effective actions to take. I have Publisher Rocket, but haven't always used it to best advantage. With this course, I learned ways to use Rocket that helped me find the keywords that will help my books become more discoverable. As a fairly new author, I now feel I have the secret sauce! And you make your courses so affordable, and provide so much free information -- very generous of you! Best, Rachel Dacus

I am thanking God I opened my email and found the offer for this class! Best investment I ever made so far this year. I got more out of these 3 videos than I have gotten over the past year in trying way too many other ways to learn the keyword techniques. Side note: Having also purchased Publisher Rocket is a sweetener to this course, HANDS DOWN! Thank you, Dave!!! You are the best! I can't wait to dig into researching my best keywords and phrases so I can sell more books. I feel like a whole new world has opened. I've been blind for so long, and now I finally SEE!
