Amazon Market Research for Kindle Authors

If you write for the Kindle here's a good way to do market research before you decide what to write. Amazon offers bestseller and hot lists for their visitors to help them find special deals or highly popular topics that can persuade them into buying. This is a very useful for anyone who wants to create a kindle ebook  book for the Amazon's Kindle, because those same lists can show you which topics are selling best on the internet. Using Amazon Bestseller and Hotlists To find the Amazon.com bestsellers for the Kindle just go to the Kindle Store at http://www.amazon.com/b?ie=UTF8&node=133141011. Once you are there, search for Kindle bestsellers under the “Kindle Books” button. It will automatically list the bestselling books in the drop-down box on the right side of the screen entitled “Sort by” and it should say “Bestselling.” If not, then just choose that option from the drop-down list to sort by bestselling books. Using Amazon Listmania for Market Research Amazon.com also has a feature called Listmania, where anyone who visits can create a list of their favorite books. Check out the Kindle favorites by typing that into the search engine and choosing “Listmania” as the source of the search. It will come up with a number of different people's lists and give you an even better idea of the types of genres and stories that people buy for the Kindle reader. If you are thinking about writing and selling books for the Kindle, it’s a good idea to look out for other internet resources to help you find the most popular market topics. Check out blogs and commercial websites that get lots of traffic in the market niche you are targeting. They will often have “most viewed” or “hot topics” listed. The more discussion on a particular topic, the more likely that people are willing to pay for more information about this topic. If you do thorough market research for the Amazon Kindle it will mean  more kindle sales for your ebook.
