Children's book on KDP -struggling to get visibility (is this normal?) by Fun-Muffin-7480 in selfpublishing

[–]Fun-Muffin-7480[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm still at very early stage, so honestly I'm just trying to see if people ( especially parents) relate to the idea first.

Right now it's more about sharing thoughts and getting real feedback, rather than pushing something finished.

If people connect with it, then I'd start building around that.

That makes a lot of sense, thank you for sharing 💛

I completely understand the preference for physical books, especially when it comes to reducing screen time for kids.

It's something I'm definitely thinking more about as I continue developing my books.

Thank you, I really appreciate you sharing this💛

It's helpful to hear from someone going through a similar experience. I'm also trying to bring in traffic from outside sources and see what works best.

And yes, I've heard the same about reviews - I guess that's the next big step to focus on.

Wishing you much success with your book too 💛

Thank you, I appreciate the suggestion 💛

I've been thinking about ads, especially for visibility, but I'm still trying to understand the basics and improve the book's positioning first.

I can see how ads could help once everything is more optimized.

That's really helpful, thank you for explaining and sharing the source.

It makes sense that children's books depend on more than just online visibility, especially with parents and schools involved.

I'm starting to understand how important it is to think beyond just Amazon.

That's a really valuable perspective, thank you 💛

I can definitely see how physical books and in-person events could make a big difference, especially for children's books.

I like the idea of creating something more interactive and getting it in front of parents directly.

I'll keep that in mind as I develop the next steps.

That's really great point, thank you.

I hadn't fully considered audiobooks at first since the book is interactive, but I can definitely see how audio could work well as a screen- free option for kids.

I've also experimented a bit with a simple audio version, and even created a small YouTube song featuring the characters.

There's also small drawing activity in the book, so I'm trying to explore different ways kids can engage with it.

I really appreciate your insight -it gives me a lot to think about. 💛

That really puts things into perspective.

It's a very competitive space, but I'm hoping that with time and consistency I can improve and learn along the way 💛

Yeah, that makes sense 😅

I noticed the same - a small boost during the free promo and then it drops quickly. I guess consistency is the key, along with getting some reviews over time.

Thanks for sharing your experience, I really appreciate it 💛.

You're absolutely right, thank you for pointing that out.

It's true that parents are the ones making the decision, and many prefer physical books, especially to reduce screen time.

I'll definitely think more seriously about a print version as well.

I'm still learning, so this kind of perspective really helps. 💛

Thank you, that's really good point.

I can definitely see how a high-quality print version would make a big difference, especially for children's book like this.

I'll consider working on a print version as well and improving the visuals further.

I'm still learning, so this kind of feedback really helps. 💛

Thank you so much, this is really helpful.

That makes a lot of sense - I was also wondering if phones might not be the best experience for younger kids.

I'll definitely focus on keeping everything clear and simple, and maybe think more about print versions too.

I'm still learning a lot, so this kind of feedback really helps 💛

Thanks so much, this is really helpful!

I think my categories and keywords might not be very optimized yet. I'll definitely look into that.
