Find Amazon kindle keywords for free

Selecting the best Amazon Kindle keywords is vital in selling your ebooks.

There are so many ebooks, software programs and outright scams, which all promise miraculous ebook sales through the use of Kindle keywords, one would think that there was some kind of magical secret that every self published author should pay for to get ebook sales. No, wrong. You don’t need to pay a cent. There is no mystery or magic.

The truth is that Kindle (KDP) keywords are very easy to find, use and implement for your own ebook. There is no magical secret formula, as KDP give very clear instructions about how to get your book into additional categories. In addition, Amazon have an in-built keyword search or long-tail keyword phrase finder in their search field.

No, wrong. You don’t need to pay a cent. There is no mystery or magic.

As you all will know, when you list your ebook on Kindle, you get to choose only two categories. So how can you get more? By using keywords. So let’s start with adding your ebook to more categories. All you need to do is follow the clear instructions given by KDP in their help page: Selecting Browse Categories.

Scroll down the page and select your genre. If I select Mystery, Thriller, & Suspense, I get the following list of keywords.

kindle keywords by genre for free

Example:

Now, although I have my ebook in the Mystery, Thriller, & Suspense category, I can have it appear in a number of sub-categories by using the nominated keywords. For example, I could add murder or police, and have my book appear in extra sub-categories, and therefore be seen by more people and compete against fewer other titles in these sub-categories.

Until next time, happy writing.
