How to Build A+ Marketing Content in Amazon KDP
A Step-by-Step Guide for Self-Published Authors
When you publish through Amazon KDP, your book’s product page is more than just a listing. It's your shopfront. One of the best ways to stand out and convert browsers into buyers is by using A+ Content. This feature, available to authors publishing through KDP, allows you to add enhanced marketing sections to your book’s page. Think of it as your chance to showcase your book like a professional publisher would.
If you’ve never created A+ Content before, don’t worry. This guide will walk you through the process.
What is A+ Content?
A+ Content lets you add rich visuals and formatted text to your book’s Amazon listing. You can use it to include:
Author bios
Comparisons to other books or genres
Testimonials
Series information
Mood boards or world-building elements
Images with copy layered over the top
It appears below the “Product Description” section and helps to engage potential readers in a more visual, compelling way. For example:
Step 1: Log in and Head to the A+ Content Manager
Go to
https://kdp.amazon.com
and sign in.
From your dashboard, click Marketing in the top navigation bar.
Select A+ Content from the options that appear.
This will take you to Amazon’s A+ Content Manager. You can create content here for any of your published paperbacks or hardbacks.
