One of the biggest questions I’m most frequently asked? Are keyword tools necessary for my success as a self-publisher?
The short answer is, no; you can use the manual keyword research method that I’ve outlined in my Niche Research Videos.
A more nuanced answer, however, is that what a keyword tool can do is dramatically cut down the time it takes to do that research, yielding quicker results than if you were to do it manually.
Over the last few years I’ve tried out several keyword research tools, and the one I currently use—and believe is the best available option—is Publisher Rocket.
Here’s what Publisher Rocket can show you:
- What keywords customers are typing into Amazon
- The estimated monthly search volume
- The average monthly earnings from books that are ranking for that keyword
- How many books are currently competing for that keyword
- Lower-competition categories to place your book in
As a little treat, today I’m going to give you a little sneak peek from my upcoming LCP course, and give you a brief walkthrough of how to use Publisher Rocket to conduct your keyword research
Enjoy!
