How to unlock Amazon's keywords and hidden categories to sell more books

by Miral Sattar
Bowker | Fri Oct 28, 2016

Do you feel like your book is getting lost in the millions of titles currently for sale on Amazon? There’s a lot of competition for readers’ attention and that will only get more difficult as more authors embrace the freedom of self-publishing. 

Did you know that you can use certain keywords in order to get your book listed in secret sub-genres that you can’t get from the regular list on the Amazon KDP dashboard? 

Amazon doesn’t offer every existing category when it's time to publish your book. 

Annoying right? 

In our next LIVE ONLINE WORKSHOP on Wednesday, November 2nd at 12:00pm EST we'll be showing you EXACTLY how to unlock Amazon's secret categories AND how to optimize your book to be discovered by more readers.
