What Sells on Amazon KDP? The Answer Most People Don’t Like

What actually sells on Amazon KDP?
This is one of the most common questions I get, and in this video, I explain why the answer isn’t a simple list of niches or trends.

This video was inspired by a viewer question asking for a clear breakdown of what sells and what doesn’t on Amazon KDP. And while that question makes total sense, the honest answer is one most people don’t expect.

In this video, we talk about:

Why “what sells” lists rarely work long term

Why copying best-selling niches often leads to frustration

What positioning really means in self-publishing

How books in crowded niches can still do very well

Why clarity matters more than chasing trends

How the same niche can produce completely different results for different publishers

You’ll also see real examples of crowded niches, like journals and colouring books, and why some books succeed while others don’t. The difference isn’t luck or timing. It’s positioning.

Positioning simply means:
Who your book is for, and why that person should choose it.

Once you understand that, you stop relying on trends and start creating books with intention.

If you want to go deeper into this, this is exactly what I teach inside my Branding for Self-Publishers course.
The course focuses on clarity, positioning, and building books and brands that make sense for your audience, rather than chasing what everyone else is doing.
