Imagine what you would be searching for, if you were a customer.Put keywords in the most logical order.This is the case for both method 1 & method 2.Īmazon has a section on their website for Meta-Data Guidelines, as well as keyword guidelines and I urge you to go and check it out, if you haven’t already. So, if you had already had “camping journal,” in your title – you wouldn’t repeat it in your keyword slots. However, while you may repeat words in different keyword slots, you would not repeat any words used in the rest of your meta data.
Using the second method, you would still use the keyword camping because it is in an independent and unique keyword slot. With the first method, you would not bother to put “camping,” again – because you will have already put it in the first keyword slot. In your next slot, you may also have another unique keyword that includes one of the same keywords above For example… camping journal for kids. Plus, any other combination that Amazon itself comes up with. So the above keyword slot would be used to create the following keywords…. In this case, every keyword slot is used as an entirely new section. These additional tagged on words work with the original phrase, to create other keyword phrases independently. If there is ANY additional space after I have entered this search phrase, I will tag on some additional words at the end as well. These are search terms that people are currently searching for on Amazon. I will add these to my keyword slots in the form of single short phrases. Once I have chosen a combination of keywords that are typically a variety of low, medium and high competition keyword phrases. How do you input your keywords? – Let me know in the comments! Method Two – The Method I Currently Use: However, I’m definitely going to do some experiments with this.
The second method that I talk about below, has worked for m and I decided to just stick with it. I can’t comment on how effective this method is – because I haven’t used it. The idea is that Amazon picks up these words and will put them together in any number of combinations and can make a large number of independent keyword phrases. That means if you put one keyword in slot one, (say, for girls) – then you would not add this keyword again in slot 2.īelow is an example for how you may proceed with this type of method… This method does not behave as though each different keyword slot is independent.

This is the most commonly used method that I have found, in particular from the free information I have come across on KDP and on YouTube. Let me know in the comments if there are any other topics you’d like me to write about. I’m not going to be going into keyword selection, although I can do that in another post.
#KINDLE DIRECT PUBLISHING HOW TO#
In this post, I will purely be focusing on how to input keywords into the slots.
However, one benefit from creating books in niches that you have SOME knowledge of already, is that you can probably think up keywords that only people who are knowledgable in that niche would know. I think the important thing to say is that people have had success on Amazon using a number of variations as far as inputting keywords – or even leaving them blank in some cases! Personally, I seem to use the one that is less commonly used and I will explain what that is in a moment. To simplify it, there seems to me a couple of different methods that people use. Partly this may be due to some mixed information about how to fill in these slots – in particular, when you’re talking about low content publishing. Many people get confused and possibly experience a bit of analysis paralysis when it comes to filling in their 7 keyword slots on KDP, (the kindle direct publishing platform).
