MY STORY This was my biggest childhood dream come true…
THE NEW DREAM
SO I WROTE DOWN MY GOAL… To earn a full-time income doing what I love
THE PROBLEM … I had no idea how the system worked!
I FAILED AT TRADITIONAL PUBLISHING Agents and publishers wouldn’t even respond to my emails or phone calls
IT TOOK SIX YEARS… But I did it!
WOULD IT BE OKAY… If I save you six years and just show you how to get your book to #1 bestseller on Amazon?
THIS SUCCESS RECIPE WORKS …
THIS WILL WORK FOR YOU! "Bestseller Ranking Pro takes the mystery out of Amazon rankings like nothing else I’ve seen and gives authors and publishers a serious edge on the competition. Do yourself a favor and grab it while you can. You’ll save yourself a boatload of time and uncertainty not to mention downright frustration spent wondering why someone else’s book zoomed to the top of the charts while yours never got off the ground." — Anne Wolfinger, Amazon bestselling author of The HCG Diet Quick Start Cookbook
LET’S TALK BESTSELLER RANKINGS

BEING A BESTSELLING AUTHOR CAN HELP YOU… • Sell more books • Get book deals (foreign language rights, movies, etc.) • Charge more for coaching, consulting, speaking, etc. • Attract new opportunities effortlessly ( make sure your email and contact info is posted in all your books and author bio )
SINCE BEING A #1 BESTSELLER CAN DO SO MUCH FOR YOU… Doesn’t it make sense to understand exactly how Amazon’s bestseller lists work and what you can do to get your book ranking at #1 in your market?
HOW AMAZON SALES RANKINGS WORK • Every book has an “Amazon Best Sellers Rank” • #1 is the current bestselling book on Amazon • #4,509,668 is the worst-selling book on Amazon • Sales Rankings Update Hourly
UNLIMITED MEMORY #1,317 in Kindle = ~2,218 eBook sales per month
WHAT’S IMPORTANT Aim for Kindle Store rankings (#1 in Kindle • Store > Kindle eBooks > Education & Teaching > Studying & Workbooks > Study Skills) • Not Books (#1 in Books > Self-Help > Neuro- Linguistic Programming)
EACH BOOK IS LISTED IN SEVERAL CATEGORIES #1 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > • Education & Teaching > Studying & Workbooks > Study Skills
CHOOSE 2 “CHILD” CATEGORIES IN 2 DIFFERENT “PARENT” CATEGORIES #1 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Education & Teaching > Studying & Workbooks > Study Skills and #1 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Business & Money > Education & Reference
TOP #100 RANKINGS IN EACH CATEGORY The Top #100 rankings in each category are the MOST important ** If you can’t rank in the Top #100, try to find another category
THERE ARE OVER 28,700 CATEGORIES ON AMAZON! • eBooks • Print • Audiobooks • US (80-85% of Kindle eBook sales in English) • UK (5-10%)
THE 5 STEP SYSTEM TO BECOMING A #1 BESTSELLER 1. Find Relevant Bestseller Categories 2. Analyze Competition 3. Calculate EXACTLY how many sales you need to hit #1 in each category 4. Choose your two (2) target categories 5. Get Amazon to put you in those categories
PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES… • Amazon displays BISAC categories on the website, but inside KDP they use their own in-house categories WHICH ARE NOT THE SAME • Less than 50% of all Kindle categories are available inside your KDP Account • Amazon changes the names, locations and hierarchies of many of their bestseller lists frequently • Amazon adds 40-400 new bestseller lists each and every month
1. FIND RELEVANT BESTSELLER CATEGORIES Save this link! www.tckpublishing.com/amazoncategories This goes direct to Amazon’s Kindle Store Bestseller Rankings page
LET’S USE YOUR BOOK! Please post a comment telling us what your book is about (including the market or genre) and I’ll find relevant categories for one of the comments. www.tckpublishing.com/amazoncategories
2. ANALYZE COMPETITION Save this link! www.tckpublishing.com/amazoncategories
2. ANALYZE COMPETITION Understand the Market! Is it long-term? Short-term? Demographic?
3. CALCULATE SALES NEEDED TO HIT #1 Save this link! www.tckpublishing.com/amazoncategories
THE FORMULA FOR DAILY VS. MONTHLY RANKINGS Monthly Sales Needed to Rank / 15 = One-Day Sales Needed to Achieve Rank If you need 3,000 sales per month to reach #900 in the Kindle Store… Then you need 3,000 / 15 = 200 in one day to hit #900
4. CHOOSE TWO TARGET CATEGORIES (IN DIFFERENT PARENT CATEGORIES IF POSSIBLE) Make sure you can rank in the Top #100 spots for each category Best if you can rank #1 for one category and Top #20 for another
5. GET AMAZON TO LIST YOUR BOOK IN YOUR TARGET CATEGORIES Email KDP Support at https://kdp.amazon.com/contact-us “Dear Amazon, Please change the category of my book to: Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Cookbooks, Food & Wine > Drinks & Beverages > Beer”
