Use Ages Appropriate and Genre Keywords

To get the best results selling your children’s book on KDP, you should always use keywords that accurately and effectively describe the book. Consider the age range of your target audience, the genre of your book, and the topics or themes featured in the book. Also, think about any unique elements that make your book different from other books in its category. Once you have identified these elements, use them to create a list of relevant keywords to use in your KDP listing. For example, if your book is a fantasy adventure for 8-12 year olds, your keywords might include ‘fantasy adventure’, ‘children’s book’, ‘8-12 year olds’, and ‘magical world’. The best keywords are specific to your book’s topic and are not too competitive.

Don’t forget genre labels either: if there are any applicable ones available, add them too – fantasy fiction adventure etc.. all these little pieces together form an overall picture of what kind material awaits inside once someone decides purchase & read .

Finally remember that while using good quality keywords can help boost visibility of any given piece – nothing beats an interesting story line & great writing when it comes down making an impactful impression on potential readers 🙂

At last remember to keep track of changes made regularly and review your keywords every few months making necessary updates whenever needed in order to maintain relevancy over time. This will help you stay competitive in the marketplace today, tomorrow, beyond.
