How to Brainstorm Keywords for Publishing Erotica on Amazon
In my personal experience, the hardest part of publishing erotica on Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing is writing the blurb and choosing my keywords. While keywords are difficult, the right ones will serve you well with passive marketing.
I have now published over 60 books on Amazon KDP, and I’ve found some helpful ways to use keywords effectively. For the first 20 books or so, my keywords sucked. This approach has improved my use of keywords significantly.

How to Choose Your Amazon KDP Keywords
Once you know how to add as many relevant keywords as possible, you need to know which words are relevant. So, what keywords should you actually use? It’s easy enough to come up with your pen name and terms like “erotica” or “short story” or “novella,” but they are not enough.
You need to get more specific.
