Great article. Thank you. I’m in the US but want to start publishing in other markets. I do not see how to use my KDP account to do that. Is there a step by step anywhere? Last question… If I publish on .uk how does that affect my .com publishing? (Sorry. I apologize for being the newbie.) Thanks a ton, no matter what the answer. Aloha

In reply to Kayla Brissi. I think by definition, all you need is to be a bestseller in a category in two or more markets. That is it.

Dave, do you happen to know what the specifics are to become an Amazon International Best-Seller? I presume you need to hit best-seller in the same category in multiple countries but am not 100% certain. If That is the case, then how many countries are needed to qualify? I have been searching for any type of information on this subject and keep coming up dry. Hoping you have some insights to share. Thanks!

In reply to Shirish Deshpande. Hi Shirish. I do not actually have that experience yet, so I cannot say with certainty. There is a lot in flux about this, and I've just been holding back to watch the dust settle before I roll up my sleeves and dig in.

I am planning to target the English speaking markets like Canada, UK, AUS for my books. Currently, the lion`s share of the sales are from the US market.Could you please guide me on how to create campaigns for these markets? The current bunch of keywords I have generated through KDP rocket seem to be the same for these markets.Do we need to create separate campaigns for separate markets? It was not clear after reading the article.

Thanks for this fascinating blog post. Surprisingly, my book is selling well in the UK, Germany and Brazil! I look forward to greater sales once I translate into Spanish!

The best marketing advice I’ve ever received! I never gave one single consideration to how to tap into the international market. I have been spinning my wheels since my book sales stalled last month and just began publishing a new one. There is still steam in those old engines though! Will pursue with gusto! Grazie mille per tutto!!

In reply to Steve Bivans. I'll try to reach out to Walt Popester, the author and ask him to respond.

Love the article! Thanks for all the info.
I have some questions though. You say you manage all the markets from one KDP account. How does that work? I have not seen anything that would allow me to change keywords for the other markets? Where do we change the book descriptions for the foreign markets? The U.S. KDP site does show sales for the other markets, but I’ve seen nothing there that allows me to target them. Where is all this done? Thanks!

Hello Walter, we have an english version of our site but the EN & DE version are separated, so the content is different. You can look here http://www.producttestfamily.com
