The Amazon Bestseller Blueprint
Stacks Publishing’s Done-For-You Amazon Category Bestseller Service
Stop guessing. Start ranking. Bestseller Blueprint is our hands-on service that engineers your book’s path to the #1 Amazon category badge—using data-driven category selection, keyword optimisation, launch timing, pricing strategy, and community amplification through The Substack Bookstore.
Is Bestseller Blueprint for you?
1) Launch coming up? You’ve got a finished (or nearly finished) manuscript and want a strategic, low-risk path to #1—without wasting months on trial and error.
2) Relaunching a great book that stalled? You want a fresh category/keyword strategy and a coordinated push that finally moves the needle.
3) Overwhelmed by KDP? You want a pro to make the calls on categories, keywords, pricing, and timing—so you can focus on the book.
If any of these sound like you, Bestseller Blueprint was built for you.
Why work with us
Fleur Hull — Amazon bestselling author, book coach, Bestselling Substack Publisher and founder of Stacks Publishing and The Substack Bookstore — has led every participating client in our campaigns to #1 in at least one Amazon category, many across multiple categories and markets.
At-a-glance proof:
100% success rate among campaign clients hitting #1 category bestseller - see our bestseller success stories here.
Multi-country #1s achieved within days of launch (case: Happy Habits)
17k+ engaged readers/authors in The Substack Bookstore network for launch amplification
“Within three days of an ‘accidental’ early launch, Happy Habits hit #1 in three countries—paperback in AU, Kindle in DE, and #2 Kindle US. The category plan made the difference.” — Gunnar Habitz, author of 28 books
The problem we solve
Crowded categories bury great books under celebrity titles.
Random keywords don’t map to how readers actually search.
Mistimed launches miss Amazon’s early-momentum window.
Disconnected pricing kills conversions when you need them most.
Result: a brilliant book with no visibility.
The Bestseller Blueprint (what we do)
This is a service, not a course. We do the work.
1) Category Intelligence
We research and hand-select low-competition, high-relevance categories (ebook + print) that align with your content and reader intent.
2) Keyword Optimisation
We craft 7+ high-converting keywords that match real buyer searches and increase your Amazon search exposure.
3) Launch Timing & Pricing Strategy
We design a conversion-first launch plan that leverages Amazon’s early momentum window—with a recommended pricing phase to maximise rank velocity.
4) Metadata & Positioning Polish
We refine title/subtitle/cover design/hooks and description for clarity, genre signals, and conversion—so every buyer knows your book is for them.
5) Community Amplification
We plug your announcement into The Substack Bookstore ecosystem (17k+ engaged readers/authors) to spark day-one sales velocity.
6) Execution Support
We provide a step-by-step checklist for KDP/IngramSpark setup and stand beside you through upload, approvals, and go-live adjustments.
What Amazon Bestseller status gives you
Authority that travels — “#1 Amazon Bestseller” elevates every bio, pitch, and media kit.
Algorithmic lift — Higher placement in Amazon search and “also-boughts” for ongoing organic discovery.
Reader confidence — The badge boosts click-through and conversions across your listing and ads.
Momentum beyond launch — Early velocity sustains rankings and reviews long after day one.
Opportunity unlocks — More podcast invites, partnerships, and speaking requests.

Category Report: 6 custom categories (3 ebook, 3 print) with rationale and alternates
Keyword Set: 7+ buyer-intent keywords (with match notes)
Passive Marketing Refinement: Cover design and blurb audit
Listing Polish: Recommendations for title/subtitle hooks and a conversion-focused description brief

How it works
Step 1 — Intake
Share your manuscript sample, description draft, cover design and goals.
Step 2 — Research & Build
We do the category, keyword, and competitor analysis.
Step 3 — Alignment Call (optional)
Confirm direction and finalise the launch plan for delivery.
Step 4 — Execute (can be several months’ wait time due to promotional waitlist)
Once launch date approaches, we support your KDP/IS setup, then trigger amplification.
Step 5 — Optimise Live
Real-time tweaks as rank and sales data roll in.
Your Investment
The Bestseller Blueprint service is a complete, data-backed campaign — not a template or a training. You get a done-for-you Amazon Category Bestseller strategy with hands-on research, implementation support, and visibility through The Substack Bookstore network.
For context, many companies charge USD 6,000 – 10,000 for partial category optimisation or “bestseller packages” that only guarantee a Top 100 placement, often in irrelevant or artificially inflated categories. At Stacks Publishing, your investment goes toward a genuine, transparent process led by a real book marketing strategist — not bots, bulk buys, or vanity rankings.
Our focus isn’t just to get you “on a list.” It’s to position your book for long-term discoverability, credibility, and sustainable sales — the right readers, in the right categories, for the right reasons.
FAQs
Can you guarantee #1?
Ethically, no one can guarantee rankings. What we can share: every author who ran our full campaign has reached #1 in at least one category, many in multiple markets. Strategy + timing + execution wins.
Is this only for new launches?
Works for new launches and strategic relaunches. Older titles often need a reposition + category reset and coordinated push.
Do you run ads?
This service focuses on organic ranking via categories, keywords, timing and community. We can advise on ads or refer you to trusted partners.
KDP vs IngramSpark?
We support both. Your Blueprint will note any format/trim nuances that affect categories and metadata.
What about reviews?
We never pay for reviews. If you need early feedback or ARC support, we can pair your Blueprint with our Beta/ARC services.

Bestsellers aren’t an accident. They’re engineered. Let’s engineer yours.
