Episode 3 of "Amazon KDP: How the Game is Played" focuses on Niche Research.
I go into detail and show examples of the 6 best ways to find niches (not just Keywords) so you can grow your self-publishing business instead of fighting for scraps.
This is the most difficult part of the game for most KDP / self publishers. It's also the most important, most controversial, and least understood. If you're relying on common software to find your niches, then you're missing the best methods to find or create "blue ocean" niches that can bring massive long term profits.
If you want some help finding better niches and growing your monthly KDP income, reach out to me at https://www.self-publishing-mastermin... for a free 20 minute coaching call. I'd be glad to look at your current situation and suggest a personalized road map to help you reach your goals more quickly.
