Analyze Competitors: Look at successfully selling books similar to yours. What categories are they listed in?
Target Niche Categories: While broad categories have high traffic, niche categories often have less competition and more targeted readers.
Utilize All Available Slots: Amazon allows you to choose multiple categories. Maximize your visibility by using them strategically.
Consider Keywords: Your chosen keywords should align with your categories. Consistent messaging helps Amazon’s algorithm.
Check Category Guidelines: Ensure your book genuinely fits the categories you choose to avoid issues with Amazon.
Monitor and Adjust: KDP categories and market trends can change. Periodically review and update your categories if needed.
