Top 10 Amazon KDP Beginner Mistakes To AVOID

Podcast cover

Greg Gottfried

In this video, the speaker discusses the top 10 mistakes that Amazon KDP sellers make, based on their own experiences. The mistakes include issues with book titles and subtitles, such as not matching the cover exactly or using prohibited keywords like "free" or "bestseller." Other mistakes covered are margin issues on covers, author name rejections due to existing names or trademarked material, using copyrighted material on covers, and the misconception that paid ads are necessary for success. The speaker also addresses the mindset of targeting overly competitive niches instead of focusing on underserved sub-niches with low and medium content books, and the problem of "paralysis by analysis" that prevents people from starting. The speaker encourages viewers to try Amazon KDP, providing links to tutorials and resources for getting started.
