Publishing low/medium content paperback books on Amazon KDP can generate attractive income, whether as a side hustle or a full-time job. However, profits can be even higher if you leverage the creation of hardcover versions for your existing paperbacks. This article will introduce 5 potential hardcover KDP niches to help you increase sales and royalties.
Why Create Hardcover Books?
The main reason is simple: hardcover books are perceived as more valuable, offer a premium feel, are more durable, and buyers are willing to pay more. When purchasing books as gifts or for personal use, many people often choose the hardcover version because it feels more special, even though the content inside is identical to the paperback. Hardcover books are often seen as lasting keepsakes, even displayed in homes and make excellent gifts. This list focuses on the type of books people tend to keep, display, and gift.
Niche Selection Criteria
When choosing a hardcover book niche, consider these three factors:
- Search Results: Under 1000 results indicate low competition.
- Best Seller Rank (BSR): Find 3 KDP books with a BSR under 300,000, demonstrating market demand.
- Niche Score: Use a tool like Titans Quick View to evaluate the niche score, with a minimum of 50 points.
