How to Find Low Competition
KDP Niches Automatically
Stop typing random words into Amazon's search bar. Automate the "100k-500k BSR" strategy and find profitable niches in seconds, not hours.
The "Free Method" is Costing You Hours
Most KDP gurus (and top-ranking Reddit threads) tell you to follow this 5-step manual process:
Type random letters into Amazon to see autocomplete suggestions.
Click through to see if the BSR is between 100k and 500k.
Count reviews manually to ensure they are under 50.
Check cover quality visually.
Repeat 100x until you find one winner.
The Truth: This method works mathematically. But practically? It’s a job, not a business. You spend 90% of your time researching and only 10% creating actual books.
What Makes a KDP Niche "Low Competition"?
The BSR Floor & Ceiling
Avoid <50k BSR: These are dominated by big publishers and ads.
Avoid >1M BSR: These are "ghost towns" with no customers.
The Review Gap
If the top 5 books all have 500+ reviews, move on. You want to see "Green-shoot" books: titles published in the last 6 months with rising BSRs but low review counts (under 50). This proves the topic is hot, but the author isn't unbeatable.
Keyword Fragility
Are the book titles exact matches for the search term? If the top book ranks for "Indoor Gardening" but the user searched "Apartment Balcony Herb Garden," there is a "relevancy gap" you can fill.
