If you're serious about making money from your book, this is something you cannot afford to ignore.
The category you choose on Amazon can directly impact how difficult it is for your book to compete.
Think about this...
In some categories, you may need to sell ๐ต๐๐ป๐ฑ๐ฟ๐ฒ๐ฑ๐ ๐ผ๐ณ ๐ฏ๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ to compete for bestseller status.
In other categories, you might only need around ๐ฏ๐ฌ ๐๐ฎ๐น๐ฒ๐ ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐ฑ๐ฎ๐ to reach that same kind of visibility.
๐ค Which category would YOU rather compete in?
This is why I don't recommend blindly choosing the category that simply sounds the most relevant to your book.
You want to look at:
๐ How competitive the category is
๐ How well the top books are selling
๐ฏ Whether your book genuinely fits the category
๐ฐ How realistic it is for you to compete there
Choosing strategically can make it much easier to gain visibility, climb the rankings, and ultimately generate more sales.
This is exactly the kind of strategy I break down inside my ๐ฃ๐๐ฏ๐น๐ถ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐ฃ๐น๐ฎ๐๐ฏ๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ๐.
The Playbooks are basically my brain dump of the strategies I've used to generate ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ $๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฌ,๐ฌ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐ถ๐ป ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฎ๐น๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐ ๐ณ๐ฟ๐ผ๐บ ๐๐ฒ๐น๐ณ-๐ฝ๐๐ฏ๐น๐ถ๐๐ต๐ถ๐ป๐ด, including how I research book ideas, keywords, competition, categories, and more.
Youโll also get my ๐ง๐ผ๐ฝ ๐ญ๐ฌ๐ฌ ๐๐ฒ๐๐๐๐ฒ๐น๐น๐ฒ๐ฟ ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ ๐๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ด๐ผ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐ ๐น๐ถ๐๐ so you have a starting point for finding categories worth researching.

I normally charge $๐ฎ๐ณ, so if you've been thinking about grabbing them, now is the time.
Don't just publish your book.
