I will run a monthly KDP catalog and book promotion management retainer

I run a hands-off monthly retainer that keeps your KDP catalog healthy and your books actively promoted, so your titles stay visible and earning while you write the next one.

What you get

This is an ongoing management retainer delivered as a digital file each month — a clear, written report plus the working spreadsheets and assets behind it. You are not buying a one-time "fix"; you are buying a steady hand on your Kindle Direct Publishing catalog so nothing drifts, goes stale, or quietly loses rank. Concretely, every cycle I deliver:

• A full catalog audit of your existing titles: metadata completeness, category placement, keyword backend (the 7 search-term slots per book), series linking, A+ Content presence, and pricing consistency across formats (eBook, paperback, hardcover).
• Keyword and category refresh recommendations based on what the current month's data is actually showing — which terms are pulling traffic, which categories you're eligible for but not listed in, and where a re-categorization request to KDP support is worth filing.
• Promotion scheduling and management: planning and tracking Kindle Countdown Deals and Free Book Promotions across your KDP Select enrolled titles, mapped to a calendar so you never waste the limited promo days each enrollment period allows.
• Listing copy review: tightening book descriptions (HTML-formatted for the KDP description box), subtitles, and series naming so they read well and carry the right keywords without stuffing.
• A written monthly report (PDF or Google Doc/Sheet, your choice) summarizing what changed, what I recommend, sales/rank movement at a glance, and a prioritized action list for the coming month.
• A maintained catalog tracker spreadsheet you keep — one row per title with ASIN, formats, categories, keywords, last-promo date, and current actions, so your whole catalog is legible in one place.

I work with the data and access you can share. Where a change requires your KDP login (publishing edits, enrolling in Select, scheduling a promo), I give you exact step-by-step instructions, or I action it directly if you grant temporary access — your call.

Plans

Tier	Scope	What's included
Basic	Up to ~5 titles, light-touch	Monthly catalog audit, keyword + category recommendations, 1 promotion planned/scheduled, short written report
Standard	Up to ~15 titles	Everything in Basic, plus description/listing copy revisions for up to 5 titles, full promo calendar (Countdown + Free Deals), maintained catalog tracker, prioritized monthly action list
Premium	Larger or fast-moving catalogs / series	Everything in Standard, plus deeper series-wide optimization, A+ Content guidance, hands-on implementation of approved changes, and a mid-month check-in

Tiers describe scope and depth of work, not turnaround speed alone. If your catalog sits between tiers, tell me the title count and I'll point you to the honest fit.

How it works

1. Onboarding. You send me your title list (ASINs or live Amazon links), your goals (visibility, sell-through on a series, reviving a back-catalog title), and how you want to handle changes — instructions-only, or delegated access.
2. Baseline audit. In the first cycle I document where every title stands today: metadata, categories, keywords, pricing, promo history. This becomes your tracker and the reference point for everything after.
3. Monthly review. Each cycle I pull the current state and data, compare against the baseline and last month, and identify what moved and what's worth acting on.
4. Recommendations + actions. I deliver the written report with a prioritized list. Approved changes get implemented (by you with my instructions, or by me on the Premium/delegated path).
5. Promotion run. I schedule the month's Countdown or Free promotions against your enrollment windows and note results in the next report.
6. Handoff. You receive the report file and updated tracker. Everything is yours to keep, whether or not you continue.

Why choose this

KDP rewards consistency, and most independent authors lose ground simply because nobody is watching the catalog week to week. Categories shift, keyword competition changes, promo days expire unused, and a strong book slowly sinks. A retainer fixes the structural problem: someone is accountable for your catalog every single month. I focus only on what KDP actually exposes — real backend keyword slots, real category eligibility, real promo mechanics — so the advice is grounded in the platform's own levers, not vague "marketing." You get plain-English reporting, a catalog you can finally see in one spreadsheet, and a documented trail of what was tried and what worked.

Who it's for / use cases

• Series authors who want every book in a series correctly linked, consistently keyworded, and promoted in a deliberate rhythm.
• Authors with a back catalog of older titles that still sell a little but have never been optimized or refreshed.
• Busy or prolific writers who would rather write than manage metadata, categories, and promo calendars.
• Small presses or author collectives managing many ASINs who need one organized tracker and a steady process.
• First-time publishers who have a few titles up and want a professional baseline plus ongoing maintenance.

FAQ

Q: Do you need my KDP account login? Not necessarily. I can work entirely from your title list and public listing data and hand you exact instructions for every change. If you'd prefer me to implement edits and schedule promos directly, you can grant temporary access — your choice, and I document everything either way.

Q: Can you guarantee higher sales or rank? No, and I won't pretend otherwise. Sales depend on your cover, writing, genre, reviews, and market conditions I don't control. What I guarantee is consistent, competent catalog and promotion management against KDP's real levers, with honest reporting on what changed.

Q: What format is the monthly deliverable? A written report as a PDF or a shared Google Doc/Sheet, plus a maintained catalog tracker spreadsheet. Everything is a digital file you download and keep.

Q: How many titles can you handle? Basic suits roughly up to 5 titles, Standard up to about 15, and Premium is for larger or fast-moving catalogs and series. Send me a count and I'll recommend the honest fit rather than oversell you a tier.

Q: Do you write or edit the books themselves? No. This is catalog and promotion management — metadata, keywords, categories, listing copy, descriptions, and promo scheduling. I don't write manuscripts or edit your book's interior content.

Q: How do Kindle Countdown and Free promotions fit in? Those require your titles to be enrolled in KDP Select, which gives a limited number of promo days per enrollment period. I plan and schedule them so those days are used deliberately instead of expiring, and I report on how each ran.

Q: Can I cancel or pause the retainer? Yes. It's month to month. Whatever I've built — your tracker, audits, and reports — stays with you, so you're never locked in or left empty-handed if you stop.

Q: What do you need from me to start? Your list of titles (ASINs or Amazon links), your goals for the catalog, and a decision on whether you want instructions-only or delegated implementation. From there I run the baseline audit in the first cycle.
