After you have determined the best niche market. Whether you are creating a gratitude journal for new mothers or a fitness planner for aerobics enthusiasts. The more exact you narrow down your target audience, the better chance you have of getting those specific customers.

4. Marketing
The first two weeks are important to boost visibility and get sales, which will give a good signal to the Amazon algorithm that your book is wanted. Running Amazon ads on your book can help with visibility and conversion to get sales faster. You don’t need to spend a lot on this; you can decide on your daily budget and use it during your launch period if you don’t have a big budget. But Amazon ads are a great way to boost sales if you have a high-quality book that converts well with clicks to sales.

If you lack the know-how in doing ads and have little to no budget, you can also share your book on social media (TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, etc.) and build trust by getting honest reviews from ARC readers, to help boost your rankings.
