Enrolling in KDP Select with Best Selling Publisher

Imagine this: your eBook is suddenly everywhere. It’s climbing Amazon’s bestseller lists, showing up in “Customers Also Bought” sections, getting read by thousands of people you’ve never met, and the royalties keep hitting your account, month after month.

This isn’t a fantasy. It’s the reality for authors who enroll in Amazon’s KDP Select program the right way because simply clicking the “Enroll” button isn’t enough. Without a smart strategy, most authors end up buried under millions of competing titles, invisible to the readers who would love their work.

That's why Best Selling Publisher loves to help authors with our expertise in category targeting, precision keyword optimization, and strategic promotional timing that gets Amazon’s algorithms working in your favor. We’ll now walk you through exactly what KDP Select is, how our team can help you, and why enrolling with our help could be the smartest move you’ll ever make for your book.

What is KDP Select?

KDP Select is an optional program within Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing platform designed to give authors exclusive marketing benefits in exchange for granting Amazon exclusive digital distribution rights for their eBook for a 90-day period.

When you enroll your eBook in KDP Select, you agree that the digital version of your book will only be available through Amazon during that period (print books and audiobooks are unaffected, you can sell those anywhere). In return, you unlock several features:

1. Kindle Unlimited (KU) and Kindle Owners’ Lending Library (KOLL)

Your eBook is added to Kindle Unlimited, Amazon’s subscription reading service with millions of active readers worldwide. Subscribers can read your book at no extra cost, and you earn royalties based on the number of pages read (tracked by Amazon’s KENP system).

This means you can earn income even from readers who wouldn’t normally buy your book outright. KU readers are notoriously voracious, and many bestsellers get the majority of their earnings from KU page reads.

2. Kindle Countdown Deals

You can discount your book for a set period while displaying a countdown timer on your Amazon product page. This creates urgency, encourages sales, and still allows you to earn 70% royalties during the promotion.

3. Global Royalty Benefits

With KDP Select, you can earn 70% royalties in more international markets than standard KDP enrollment. This is crucial if you’re targeting global readers.

Why Exclusivity Can Be a Good Thing

Some authors are hesitant about exclusivity, fearing they’ll miss out on sales from other platforms like Apple Books, Kobo, or Google Play. But for many, focusing entirely on Amazon is more profitable because:

• Amazon dominates the eBook market, often holding 70% or more of total sales.
• KU readers only read within Amazon’s system.
• Amazon’s algorithms reward books that generate consistent engagement, reviews, and sales velocity, something easier to achieve when you focus on a single platform.

How Best-Selling Publisher Helps You Enroll in KDP Select

We don’t just click the “Enroll” button, we strategically prepare your book for maximum performance in KDP Select from day one. Here’s how we help:

Full KDP Account Setup & Compliance

We ensure your book meets all of Amazon’s exclusivity requirements and is correctly formatted to pass KDP’s quality checks. Mistakes here can delay enrollment or even cause Amazon to reject your book.

Metadata Optimization (Titles, Keywords, and Descriptions)

Your book’s title, subtitle, keywords, and categories are optimized for both Amazon’s search engine and reader appeal. We use real-time market research to place your book in profitable, low-competition categories, giving you a better shot at reaching bestseller status.

Professional Formatting & Cover Design Guidance

We make sure your eBook formatting works flawlessly on all Kindle devices, and we provide cover design recommendations tailored to your genre’s top sellers.

Strategic Launch & Promotions

We plan when and how to use your KDP Select promotions (free days, countdown deals) for the biggest impact. Timing these with ad campaigns and email blasts can send your book skyrocketing up the charts.

Ongoing Sales & Ranking Optimization

Our work doesn’t stop after enrollment. We track your KU page reads, sales rank, and category performance, adjusting strategies to maintain momentum.

The Positive Impact of KDP Select on Book Sales

When used correctly, KDP Select can transform your book’s sales trajectory:

• Increased Visibility: Free promotions and KU borrows push your book into more “Also Bought” recommendations.
• Steady Royalties:Page reads from KU provide consistent earnings, even when direct sales fluctuate.
• Bestseller Potential:High download and read-through rates during promotions can catapult your book into Amazon’s Top 100 lists.
• Category Domination:By targeting the right categories, your book can achieve “#1 Best Seller” tags, further boosting credibility and sales.

Enroll with Best Selling Publisher Instead of Doing It Yourself

While Amazon makes enrollment simple in theory, success in KDP Select isn’t about joining, it’s about winning once you’re in. Many authors enroll but fail to see results because they:

• Choose the wrong categories or keywords.
• Don’t promote strategically during the 90-day term.
• Miss out on opportunities to align promotions with algorithm boosts.

At Best Selling Publisher, we’ve already helped authors hit bestseller lists, dominate categories, and generate thousands of KU page reads per day. We combine technical setup with real marketing expertise, so you’re not just enrolled, you’re positioned to succeed.

The Smartest Next Step for Your Book

KDP Select offers authors a pathway to visibility, sales, and readership growth, but only when used with a deliberate strategy. By partnering with us, you get:

• Expert enrollment without the hassle.
• Proven category and keyword optimization.
• Professional launch and promotion planning.
• Ongoing monitoring for sales and rankings.

Your book deserves more than just being published, it deserves to be discovered, read, and loved by thousands of readers. With KDP Select and Best Selling Publisher, that vision can become your reality.
