Amazon KDP Market Researcher for Niche Nonfiction Book Demand Validation

I am looking for an experienced market researcher with strong knowledge of Amazon KDP, Kindle publishing, keyword research, and nonfiction book markets. I have a private list of niche nonfiction book concepts that I am considering developing. Before investing time into writing and publishing them, I want to validate which topics have the strongest commercial potential. The specific book ideas and niches will be shared privately with shortlisted candidates. **Objective** The goal is to determine whether there is genuine buyer demand for each topic and identify which book concepts appear most attractive based on: * Amazon search demand * Existing competition * Strength of competing books * Sales indicators * Pricing * Review activity * Buyer intent * Gaps in the current market * Potential for differentiation * Potential for related products, workbooks, templates, or companion resources I am not looking for generic suggestions such as “this is a trending niche.” I want structured, evidence-based research. **Research Required** For each book concept, please evaluate: * Primary Amazon search keywords * Related and long-tail keywords * Amazon autocomplete/search suggestions * Number and quality of directly competing books * Kindle and paperback pricing * Amazon Best Sellers Rank (BSR) of leading competitors * Estimated sales where reasonably available * Number of reviews and ratings * Publication dates of leading books * Whether newer books are successfully entering the market * Evidence of consistent demand versus one-off bestselling titles * Common themes/topics covered by existing books * Weaknesses or gaps in competing books * Opportunities to differentiate the proposed book * Potential sub-niches or alternative positioning * Overall demand rating and recommendation Where useful, I would also like supporting research from: * Google Trends * Google keyword data * Reddit * Quora * YouTube * Industry forums * Other relevant online communities * Related courses, digital products, or guides already being sold Please clearly distinguish between **actual data and third-party estimates**. **Tools** Experience with some of the following is preferred: * Publisher Rocket * Helium 10 * KDSpy * BookBeam * Amazon search / autocomplete * Google Trends * Ahrefs / Semrush / Keyword Planner * Similar Amazon/KDP research tools **Deliverable** Research should be provided in a structured spreadsheet. Each concept should receive an overall score based on factors such as: 1. Demand 2. Competition 3. Buyer intent 4. Pricing potential 5. Quality gap 6. Ability to differentiate 7. Potential for related products 8. Overall commercial attractiveness The final deliverable should rank the strongest opportunities and identify which concepts you recommend pursuing first. The initial project will involve approximately **20–40 book concepts**. There may be ongoing research work if the initial project goes well. **Ideal Candidate** You should have: * Direct experience with Amazon KDP research * Experience researching nonfiction books * Strong keyword and competitor research skills * Familiarity with Amazon BSR and what it can and cannot tell us * Ability to interpret market data rather than simply copy numbers * Strong commercial judgment * Experience identifying underserved niches **When Applying** Please include: 1. Your experience researching Amazon/KDP book opportunities 2. Which research tools you currently use 3. How you determine whether a nonfiction niche has real demand 4. How you use Amazon BSR when assessing competitors 5. An example of a similar research project you have completed 6. Your proposed approach for evaluating 20–40 book concepts Please start your proposal with **“KDP RESEARCH”** so I know you have read the complete posting. Please do not send a generic KDP marketing proposal. This project is specifically focused on **market validation and demand research before books are written**.
