📚 KDP Keyword Research Resources

Learn how to find profitable keywords for your KDP books.

🔍 What is Keyword Research?

Keyword research is the process of finding words and phrases that people type into Amazon when looking for books. By targeting the right keywords, your book appears in front of readers who are actively searching for what you offer.

🎯 How to Find Low-Competition Keywords

Start with a broad topic - Example: "journal" or "coloring book"
Use BookCompass - Enter your keywords and get competition scores
Look for HIGH volume + LOW competition - These are your golden opportunities
Target long-tail keywords - "christian gratitude journal women" beats "journal"
Check the competition - Look at how many reviews top books have

💡 Example: "mushroom growing for complete beginners" has HIGH volume (5,000/mo) and LOW competition → 9/10 score!
