Have you ever had trouble finding your book using Amazon’s search bar, even when you search for it by its title or author name? Tell me in the comments below!

This is beyond dumb. This would be like if you walked into a store, asked for a book by name, they do a search on the computer, don't see it, and then tell you that they don't have it. Meanwhile, the book is sitting on the shelf not 3 feet away. Why even allow the book to be published in the first place if they're going to do this?

[heathermacdonald]

Thanks for this! I've often wondered why books don't show up when I search them.

[I_am_Soulfix]

Love how you jumped right into the goodstuff.

Okay so my books aren't on any of the pages. I went through all the pages on amazon results and they are plainly not there. None of them. I think i have like 20

I have some questions in low content KDP.
1)Can we use the same title and design cover for various sizes of the book?
2)What categories are journal and notebook supposed to be?

[penniestoriches]

My book doesn't show up at all. There are 7 pages of search results I looked for it on all 7. Why?

[Lauradahl-creations]

Hi,
I have three books for sale on Amazon now. But I can't find my first book, 'A Moth In The Darknes'. It ISN'T low content. I first (independently) published it back in 2005 but wasn't able to get it on a larger platform until 2023. And, unfortunately, Amazon won't let me change my (second edition) book's title. Perhaps, I'll ask someone else?

My two children's books, on the other hand, pop right up after I type in my name on the search bar.

On a side note:
Would you know how to temporarily discount the price on my books? I asked a KDP representative and he said I COULDN'T do sale prices but would need to manually discount the price and then publish it again. But just today I visited Amazon and noticed other sellers with paperback books WERE able to discount (sale price) their own books. So now, I am confused. 😕
Thanks for your time and help. 😃

I'm in the same situation. I just published them a couple of days before. How people could buy the books if they doesn't even show up?Can you please tell me if my family would buy the books and review them, would that make any difference?

[nnemachibwe]

Thank you Rachel, I submitted my book for the first time 5 days ago and have not received any response from Amazon.

[Musicgirl]

Hello. Love your videos. My question is the look inside feature on low content books. It's been over 12 days and they say it's getting fixed. Is the eta really long on this feature?

[drip.king.]

Your a life saver publishing my first note book 📓 😃😀😁

[UnleashingYourBrilliance-jqkw]

I am creating an ebook and I saved it but have no idea where it got saved. I went into kdp and followed the instructions. Where does the book actually save to? Don't see it on my drive.

[alitao]

Hi, thank you Rachel for you content.How many books do you usually publish in the same niche or microniche? and how do you deal with titles when you publish many books in the same niche? Thank you

[RohiShetty]

Thanks, Rachel! Great video, wonderful information. In the words of my niece, you're totally total!

[GoodBoi-tylx]

I've created a sketch book and uploaded it on my Amazon Kindle account. When I click on this book in my bookshelf it opens on website page with someone else's account with author name same as mine. How is that possible? How it can be associated with some other author? What should I do?

[yaswanth]

That Means our Books are Definitely in Live People can Purchase our Books But it was not Ranking on The first page Right??

[kaitlynhamke]

What does it mean to index and how do we email them? Where do I find that info?

[amosnoel]
