emmychib:
can you please share how you go about those 7 keywords.
It seems keywords is everything in this business

No, Keyword is not everything in this business! Good content is! I'm rather Surprise how some persons waste a lot of energy looking for the right keyword.
what is the function of keywords if I may ask? To the best of my knowledge keyword only make your book visible when searched by your targeted readers.

Now the right keyword selection will start from selecting the right book tittle , which is a reflection of the book content, not reflection of the most searched keywords, otherwise you'll be misleading your readers
Also the 7 hidden keywords should reflect the book content, possibly taken from some of the major headings, theme or ideas being projected.
Contrary to this, you might even have a reader who will give you a bad review because your tittle is misleading.

This reminds me of the "right niche syndrome" A lot of people ask me which niche do you think I should write about?
My response is always "any one you can do perfectly" The reason is that all niche is important just as all occupation is important. the basic thing here is to write a winning Book. the topic you have written on might not be trending now, just one global news about something like that will make people start reading books on that.

Don't,' be deceived by screenshots of those making thousands of dollars monthly on kdp as a Nigerian, that kdp 35% royalty payment is something that will grow big gradually, so focus on making it little but regularly.

Happy celebration to my Muslim brothers

erjo:
Thanks, but I don't have Photoshop in my laptop..How can I get it?

contact me immediately I will resize it for a small fee the person who did the job is not a professional .

it may not be just that simple to resize it in Photoshop, it depends on the design's imprint size on the spine text part of the cover and added bleed from the cover image

Penboy:
I wish I can use a megaphone to shout this for all Nigerians to hear. Imagine it KDP bans us from using their services because of our dubious ways?!
Where person wan see food chop?
Na legit ways still pay pass. One love.

thank you dear you understood my point

all this Nigerians trying every illegal means to outsmart this automated e-book platforms should pls stop. Publishing a book is is a more serious business than some of us think. That is why it is called intellectual property.
Some of us are making our daily bread from kdp royalty payment and I will not be happy to hear that Nigerians have been banned from publishing in kdp I get seriously angry when someone come in a public forum asking how he or she can by pass a system and some persons will just give out the info as if it's the right thing to do.
almost every one can use a pen name, it's legal, I also started using pen name as far back as 2017 when I leant that some white people don't believe that anything good can come from us.
but I also have about four or so books in my real name. and an author central account. With that kdp recognize me as a seller in that platform who is also allowed to sell other author's books through my kdp account on their behalf. At such I can publish with as many pen name as I want. you must not be be in US to help a friend in US sale his books so what's the need trying to change your location? That is why I laugh on hearing someone say kdp block my account. I've had more serious issue on kdp when it was createspace but my account kept running because every info on that platform is verifiable . I encourage everyone to always respond to kdp personal mail within 5days even if the issue has been resolved. just let them know that you have received their mail and that the issue has been resolved.
The bad name we have online as Nigerians is enough for us to have a rethink so let us tread with caution.

no offence to anyone it's just a concern

All this ups and down about formatting, using this software and kindle this and that. Two major things are certain here
1 . Ms word doc remains the best format to upload books for kindle but the problem is knowing the basic rules of ebook formatting eg some people will write 5000k words and would format the book up to 100 and more page. This is very wrong and aesthetically create unnecessary white space distortion, etc and KDP will see it as error and will automatically fix it. Meaning your formating will change
2. Formatting for kindle is slightly different from formatting for other ebook platforms like Draft 2 Digital etc
You need not bother yourself about the term epub files, is somewhat complicated than just an ebook file
The key is knowing how to use the various tools in ms words to format an ebook file.
But in case you’re still confused, I can do that for you for a fee. No matter your content: pictures, tables, illustrations, etc

Welcome to F.Rankconsult

[quote author=erjo post=90806301][/quote]and since you want to succeed in this publishing thing. here are a few things you must ensure
1 clickable table of content
2 well formated for e-reading copy
3 well-proofread manuscript
among others
clickable table, in particular, will help kindle readers navigate your pages easily

again on that title, some people will tell you to do professional cover design, but I tell you a bad title will kill a book whose cover was designed by the best graphic designer in the world for one major reason-KEYWORD

if you think you have not done all this right, better do it and resubmit your book content.
I advise you openly here so that amazon book pros here will agree or disagree with this

Happy publishing!

erjo:
Pls help a brother...I just published my first book....

Help me review and suggest possible changes to make my book standout and make sales...

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08BF957FG

Help a brother

I don't have any issue with the cover but this title is very weak and too wordy: "How Men and Women Age Differently" : it should have been the subtitle while you choose what we call "punch"title eg AGING PATTERN :How Men and Women Age Differently:


again, do you have adult content in the book? if not, why put an age range of 16-18

rolly44:

Ahumanbeing:
Hi everyone, please what do you suggest is the best category to add a book about nature and some spiritual lessons in it?
It's really long, about 108 pages so I want a category where it'll get better exposure.
