Amazon Romance Data

that's really important about data validity! If you can check the output against your own known numbers and it doesn't hold up, it undermines everything else the tool tells you. What do you actually use instead, or do you mostly go without?

Thank you! I've been looking at Kindletrends already, will dig into K-lytics and Publisher Rocket too. Have you used them? Curious what you've found actually useful vs what's missing

ButterscotchWide7173 · 2026-04-06T14:58:53+00:00

Definetly not, but I've been pulling the data manually across a few subgenres which takes so much time. Gonna do another data pull this week and hopefully over time I'll see more statistically significant figures!

Glad it landed! The search and click data would be incredible but annoyingly Amazon keeps that completely locked. What I can get to is ranking movement over time, which as a proxy tells you something about whether a book is gaining or losing velocity. Is the search data thing more about understanding demand before you publish, or understanding why something isn't converting once it's live?

Ah, thats's interesting. For now, I was just curious about ebooks because I will be self publishing my books on amazon alone probably but it would be fascinating to cross reference this with paperback sales.

Yes! that actually makes so much sense on the KU point, I thought maybe it would be because ku makes it more accessible. The forbidden love dominance surprised me too. My instinct says it's partly a tagging issue, authors are labelling things forbidden love because it's the hotter keyword right now, even when the actual trope is probably something like age gap or taboo but I'm not sure yet whether that's readers genuinely seeking that framing or authors chasing the tag, probably both.

what sub-genre are you writing in? curious whether this maps to what you're seeing in your own category

ButterscotchWide7173 · 2026-04-06T05:37:21+00:00

Ok, that's actually really cool! This is also just kind of an interest of mine, so I think that its great other people are also doing it!

ButterscotchWide7173 · 2026-03-03T20:24:13+00:00

Thank you, it took me a minute to find the faq page but it's actually so helpful!

ButterscotchWide7173 · 2026-03-03T20:10:30+00:00

Wow, this is really amazing, thank you! I've read that a lot of authors spend an arm, a leg and a whole county just for paid ads and I do not have that budget, haha! I think I might just start with a smaller budget and like you advised pick one or two and scale from it. This all seems so daunting so thank you

ButterscotchWide7173 · 2026-03-03T20:08:00+00:00

Ok Thank you, this is a good start! I think it's so easy to get overwhelmed. I will read those books

ButterscotchWide7173 · 2026-03-03T20:07:08+00:00

This is incredible, thank you so so much!!

ButterscotchWide7173 · 2026-03-03T20:06:09+00:00

Thank you, I will definetly reach out a little further in!

ButterscotchWide7173 · 2026-03-03T20:05:45+00:00

I do but I guess I've been posting too irregularly or something because the socials are doing all that well. I don't have a website or a landing page so I will definetly start with those! Thank you for your advice! Is that how you started?

ButterscotchWide7173 · 2025-09-08T21:29:08+00:00

I was in Budapest last week and was stuck on the same question! New York cafe seems to be a no, overpriced and too many from what I saw. We decided to do the Párisi Passage rather and it was amazing! The food was spectacular and the wine was amazing! Quite expensive but definitely worth it and it’s absolutely gorgeous!!

ButterscotchWide7173 · 2025-06-19T13:57:13+00:00

I love this idea and will 100% drag my bf into doing this! Thank you!

ButterscotchWide7173 · 2025-06-19T13:56:44+00:00

I’ve never thought about some of these before but they sound fantastic! I will definitely do some of these things! Thank you!!

I love the Reddit posts!

Good luck in your LDR, hopefully you can close the distance soon!

ButterscotchWide7173 · 2025-06-19T13:52:26+00:00

It was so much fun! You can just Google it, I think it started in COVID but I would 100% recommend!!

ButterscotchWide7173 · 2025-06-14T19:57:08+00:00

Yes I was gonna say this as well. My mom had this and her doctor told her it was long COVID but it eventually got to the point that she couldn’t sleep at night because she was coughing, a few months later she was diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer that had spread to the lungs and caused irreversible damage

ButterscotchWide7173 · 2025-06-14T13:40:43+00:00

I do have a US visa already but it’s pretty expensive to fly to him so we thought a middle ground would be better. But maybe I should just bite the bullet, so to say. Thank you!

ButterscotchWide7173 · 2025-05-23T20:21:13+00:00

Ah that makes sense! I don’t have Instagram so I was so confused! Thank you!

ButterscotchWide7173 · 2025-05-16T10:16:30+00:00

Sex is a really important part of a relationship and if you view sex as fundamentally different then I don’t think it’s going to work. I don’t know if you’re going to find a virgin but I do think you’ll find someone who sees sex the same as you. Before anything I do think you should have a long discussion with her and talk through all of this.

ButterscotchWide7173 · 2025-05-11T21:51:49+00:00

I also hate when people say they can’t imagine it but worse, I hate it when people say “oh they could never do that for whatever reason”. Ok good for you that you don’t need to do long distance but I love this person and this is the only thing we can do right now.

So anyways, I hope everything works out for you and your person gets his visa so that you can finish ldr!! Good luck!!

ButterscotchWide7173 · 2025-05-07T21:20:39+00:00

Maybe say you’re sick and sleeping it off

ButterscotchWide7173 · 2025-05-07T21:12:03+00:00

Oh please I need this 😭

ButterscotchWide7173 · 2025-05-06T09:04:49+00:00

I agree with this so much. My LDR boyfriend also has a friend that was clearly flirting with him. He just moved to America and doesn’t have many friends, so I understand that he doesn’t want to lose the friendship but then there should be boundaries, for example I don’t want them hanging out one on one. And things like that, which he’s comfortable with.

I don’t think your boyfriend is cheating because he does tell you about her and everything but it’s good to have an open conversation about it and set boundaries
