1. Write Your Book Description

Since a book is no less a product than anything else, its description needs to hook, capture, and convince readers of its value. Have any ratings, reviews, or prestigious backers? This is a great place to mention them.

The next important decision in KDP’s process: your publication’s tags. Make the most of free keyword research tools and choose up to seven popular words or phrases that describe the book.

Beyond looking at popularity, though, put yourself in your reader’s position and consider what words people might be inclined to search if they were looking for books like yours. Your perfect keywords will be a good balance between decently popular and relevant.

5. Decide If KDP Select Is Right for You

Even better, get in touch with experts like Reedsy marketers for advice and a productive action plan.
