No KDP Sales? Why Your Low Content Books Aren't Selling

Which reason for low or no sales do you think applies to your current low-content publishing process, and how do you plan on addressing it in order to get those sales rolling in?

Published my first 4 books and this was just what i needed to hear to not give up. Thank you so much.

Beautiful video as always. Analytical and concise. So much to learn from these facts as highlighted. Thank you Rachel. You are a blessed soul.

Thank you so much! Ironically I am literally in the middle of making my book, and your page played after watching another page...well Listening to another page and yours popped up. It came right on time "divine intervention" it gave me so much insight and encouragement and something I wouldn't have known or thought of if I didn't come across your page. You just gained another follower. Blessings, and thank you for sharing grace for the rookies like myself lol💕🙏🏽

Thank you for this and all your videos which highlight the reality of the KDP self publishing journey. I have learned a great deal from your informative YouTube channel.

Thank you, i started 2 weeks ago and was so enthusiastic to start and your words and framework has been so encouraging and helpful.

Thank you so much for your very analytical---and reassuring-- approach. Very helpful!

You just boosted my confidence :) Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much for your help. I wasn't sure about how to go succeed on this new venture. Your channel has been so helpful. You're awesome. Thanks

Thank you for this video. Very helpful! 👍🏼

Your advice is like a breath of fresh air!

Thank you so much for the excellent video.. I was feeling downhearted because my books were not selling.

I just found your channel and your "Three Steps" instructions. They are excellent! I found information that I hadn't seen before. I just sent my first book to Amazon, a planner-organizer with extra lined pages, contact list, important dates, and weekly and monthly calendars, gathering information from various YouTubers and their videos. Not to mention hours of trial and error learning Canva. But I did it and I'm glad! 😂 Again, thank you for the instructions. I wish I had found them several weeks ago when I started this journey. Best wishes from Colorado 😊

Thanks Rachel, this was very useful. Do you have videos on Key words?

Rachel, Thank you for your clear, organized, detailed, fluff free rich video. Aren't you selling the beast before cashing in? I know you sell courses, it's kind of hard to see what else you would have to offer after watching your very informative videos. Also, thank you for answering many questions in the comments and at times in depth. Quite a few post videos and never bother replying to questions. We learn from those replies because often, we have the same questions. Also, thanks for your great Free Guide.

What a great video. Thank you!!

Excellent content, thanks so much.

great video, very good points, thank you.

Hello and thank you so much for this video. Very informative for a beginner like myself. I was able to recognize why my books are not getting any sales. Could you clarify in the optimization area where you mention 'title information and keyword slots' - should low competition keywords used in the 7 keyword slot be long tail keywords or short tail. For example, for a number tracing book, can i use keywords like gift, birthday ideas for son, homeschool (provided these are low competition) in the 7 keyword slot? Thank you so much, Gizelle Mendes

The LC space is severely oversaturated with copy cats and plagiarizers, or people slapping something together quickly and thinking it will sell. But buyers aren't stupid. They can see the mimics and the low-quality efforts and they're not going to spend their money on it. I have one LC book that I made, but I researched a particular niche, talked to people in that niche (my ideal buyers) to get their feedback, added my own creative spin on it, designed it in a high quality, and after a few months of marketing it, I'm now making $1,000 per month from that single LC book. But I put real time, thought, money and effort into it. I ordered test copies, and when the page details were misaligned, I fixed it and reordered it again to test it. There are so many people doing this now, so if you enter this space, you have to come creatively and with a good, original product. My unique idea has done well, so of course, now I see the vultures trying to mimic and copy my exact ideas and designs. It's gross, but they won't succeed that way. Their books won't sell trying to mimic someone else's concept.
