This was my biggest childhood dream come true… THE NEW DREAM SO I WROTE DOWN MY GOAL…
To earn a full-time income doing what I love THE PROBLEM…
I had no idea how the system worked! I FAILED AT TRADITIONAL PUBLISHING
Agents and publishers wouldn’t even respond to my emails or phone calls IT TOOK SIX YEARS…
But I did it!
WOULD IT BE OKAY…
If I save you six years and just show you how to get your book to #1 bestseller on Amazon? THIS SUCCESS RECIPE WORKS… THIS WILL WORK FOR YOU! "Bestseller Ranking Pro takes the mystery out of Amazon rankings like nothing else I’ve seen and gives authors and publishers a serious edge on the competition.
Do yourself a favor and grab it while you can. You’ll save yourself a boatload of time and uncertainty not to mention downright frustration spent wondering why someone else’s book zoomed to the top of the charts while yours never got off the ground."
— Anne Wolfinger, Amazon bestselling author of The HCG Diet Quick Start Cookbook LET’S TALK BESTSELLER RANKINGS BESTSELLER LISTS MATTER!

Doesn’t it make sense to understand exactly how Amazon’s bestseller lists work and what you can do to get your book ranking at #1 in your market? HOW AMAZON SALES RANKINGS WORK • Every book has an “Amazon Best Sellers Rank”
• #1 is the current bestselling book on Amazon
• #4,509,668 is the worst-selling book on Amazon
• Sales Rankings Update Hourly UNLIMITED MEMORY
#1,317 in Kindle = ~2,218 eBook sales per month WHAT’S IMPORTANT
• Aim for Kindle Store rankings (#1 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Education & Teaching > Studying & Workbooks > Study Skills)
• Not Books (#1 in Books > Self-Help > Neuro- Linguistic Programming) EACH BOOK IS LISTED IN SEVERAL CATEGORIES
• #1 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Education & Teaching > Studying & Workbooks > Study Skills CHOOSE 2 “CHILD” CATEGORIES IN 2 DIFFERENT “PARENT” CATEGORIES
#1 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Education & Teaching > Studying & Workbooks > Study Skills
and
#1 in Kindle Store > Kindle eBooks > Business & Money > Education & Reference TOP #100 RANKINGS IN EACH CATEGORY
The Top #100 rankings in each category are the MOST important
** If you can’t rank in the Top #100, try to find another category THERE ARE OVER 28,700 CATEGORIES ON AMAZON!
• eBooks
• US (80-85% of Kindle eBook sales in English)
• UK (5-10%) THE 5 STEP SYSTEM TO BECOMING A #1 BESTSELLER
1. Find Relevant Bestseller Categories
2. Analyze Competition
3. Calculate EXACTLY how many sales you need to hit #1 in each category
4. Choose your two (2) target categories
5. Get Amazon to put you in those categories PROBLEMS AND CHALLENGES… • Amazon displays BISAC categories on the website, but inside KDP they use their own in-house categories WHICH ARE NOT THE SAME
• Less than 50% of all Kindle categories are available inside your KDP Account
• Amazon changes the names, locations and hierarchies of many of their bestseller lists frequently
• Amazon adds 40-400 new bestseller lists each and every month 1. FIND RELEVANT BESTSELLER CATEGORIES

Understand the Market!
Is it long-term?
Short-term?
Demographic? 3. CALCULATE SALES NEEDED TO HIT #1
Save this link! www.tckpublishing.com/amazoncategories THE FORMULA FOR DAILY VS. MONTHLY RANKINGS Monthly Sales Needed to Rank / 15 = One-Day Sales Needed to Achieve Rank
If you need 3,000 sales per month to reach #900 in the Kindle Store…
Then you need 3,000 / 15 = 200 in one day to hit #900 4. CHOOSE TWO TARGET CATEGORIES (IN DIFFERENT PARENT CATEGORIES IF POSSIBLE)
Make sure you can rank in the Top #100 spots for each category
Best if you can rank #1 for one category and Top #20 for another 5. GET AMAZON TO LIST YOUR BOOK IN YOUR TARGET CATEGORIES
