This must be a very recent change at KDP: Only 3 categories are allowed now (June 2, 23) under the Kdp help - Amazon, store and product detail page - report issue with Amazon categories (The only category related option) it says “ We are currently launching changes to help you choose three Amazon store categories for each book based on primary market place during set up. While we’re making this experience available to all authors, we are no longer accepting request to add or update categories…” 😢
Hi Dane, just wanted to thank you as I tried this on my new book and it actually ranked as the #1 new release in a category . It was for a shot period of time before the feeling was awesome 😀 .. I guess I should ran Amazon ads also to keep it there. . I can vouch 100% for this technique
Just great stuff! It seems like the whole ranking an Amazon is borderline gaming the system. I have now spent weeks researching how to get my book ranked on Amazon most are borderline dishonest. It seems like to get the best seller status you would sell the most books for an extended amount of time not an hour but like weeks or days or months to get that status. But I'm finding even international bestsellers are getting ranked number one giving away all their for a couple of days to ranked Amazon doesn't distinguish between giving away books hundreds of books for free for an hour and be an international bestseller doesn't seem right to me
I used this technique and it worked perfectly. My book is #1 but I don't have the best seller badge yet. How long before the badge appears? Do I keep the badge forever or just while the book remains #1?
Please be aware that KDP will no longer do this. I just tried it and they said they stopped doing this now that we choose our own categories during set up.
This absolutely doesn't work. I sent them my category n they told me this. The category paths you requested aren't currently available in the Book Store. We're unable to manually add these categories, since book categories are automatically mapped based on the Book Store category selected during publishing. Please select categories that already exists, and reply with this information so I can add them for you. Then why is it all over youtube that one can add extra 10 book categories?
Have you added your books to additional categories yet? 🤔

Thanks for sharing!
Very interesting video 🌎 Thanks. Here I am learning... beyond the writing. The Venezuelan immigrant writer 🇻🇪
Thanks Dane. Going to tackle this today.
Outstanding, thanks Dane!
Great information. How did you get Amazon to show you the numbers? The ranking, sales/day, etc.
Thank you! when publishing paperback and kindle versions same time can you choose 10 or 20 genres? If 10 total would you do 5 of each?
Thanks for this Daniel... I never knew this!

Will be doing this ASAP, thank you!
Thank you so much, you are angel.
Thanks Dane! 🙏 This is my job for today 😘
Great video Dane, thanks for the help!
What do you do about referencing other material in your books? Say if you did one focused on history?
Very useful content, Dane!
Great advice Dan ! .. Should we do this for all the marketplaces or just focus on the US one ? I ask as I am based in the UK
You'd have to subscribe to a plan before using the bookbeam platform.😞
love this video thanks dane
thanks Dane!

Good stuff thank you very much
Glad you enjoyed it
wow wow wow very interesting
I love this tutorial it taught a lot of things I didn't know before but why can't you give us ur book beam coupon code
My two books are at bsr around 3-4 million. Do you have any tips for ebooks that are that down on the list?
WAIT!. number one book was also ranked number #7. How is that?

Why can you only do this with paperback and not with ebooks?
Does this still works?
Bro i have two fiction books in amazon but its stuck, can i rank it high how
This is a very helpful video thank you, but please for the love of god slow down, you’re talking way too fast to take it all in!
You'll get a message back saying you are only allowed 3 categories
Could you go slower in your next vids please?
You can go to setting and lower the speed of the video to a 0.25 speed
