The AI Prompts and KDP Templates Built From 120,000+ Books Sold

The AI-Powered KDP Publishing Templates Pack is a downloadable digital product containing 50 structured AI prompts, 10 SEO keyword templates, and an Amazon Associates setup guide designed specifically for Amazon KDP self-publishers. It was developed by Francesco Baldi, an Italian solopreneur who has sold 120,000+ books on Amazon KDP in the Children's Books niche using an AI-powered publishing system.

The pack covers five functional areas of the KDP workflow: niche research and validation, book outlining, Amazon SEO optimization, marketing and launch planning, and Amazon Associates monetization. In addition to the core materials, the $47 tier includes five bonuses: a Top 20 KDP Niches Report for 2026, a 30-step Book Launch Checklist, a Cover Design Prompt Library with 20 Midjourney and DALL-E prompts, a KDP Pricing Strategy Guide, and 10 AI-optimized Book Description Templates.

The product is sold exclusively via Gumroad with no email subscription required. It is designed to be immediately actionable — most buyers can run their first niche research prompt within fifteen minutes of downloading. The pack is not a course, a coaching program, or a membership. It is a standalone toolkit that reflects a system built on real publishing results, not theoretical best practices.

This pack is built for KDP authors who have already published between one and five books and are currently earning between zero and one thousand dollars per month in royalties. These are publishers who understand the basics of the KDP platform but are losing significant time to manual keyword research, producing books with AI tools but getting inconsistent output quality, and almost certainly leaving Amazon Associates commissions uncollected. It is also well-suited for non-native English speakers who want a structured system that does not depend on intuitive fluency with Amazon's search language.

The pack is not the right fit for authors who have never published on KDP and are still learning the platform's fundamentals — this is a workflow optimization tool, not an introduction to self-publishing. It is also not designed for authors looking for a done-for-you service, a ghostwriting solution, or a course with video walkthroughs. There is no community, no live support, and no ongoing content.

No significant prior experience with AI tools is required. The prompts are written as complete, ready-to-use inputs — you copy the prompt, paste it into your AI tool of choice, replace the bracketed variables with your specific niche or book details, and run it. No prompt engineering knowledge is required.

That said, basic familiarity with how to open and use ChatGPT or a comparable tool will make the process faster. If you have never used ChatGPT before, the free tier at chat.openai.com requires only an email signup and is sufficient for most prompts in this pack. The keyword templates function more like fill-in-the-blank spreadsheet tools than AI prompts and require no AI interaction at all. The Amazon Associates setup guide is a step-by-step written walkthrough that requires no technical background.

The prompts in this pack are compatible with ChatGPT (OpenAI), Claude (Anthropic), and Gemini (Google). All three have free tiers that are sufficient for running the majority of the 50 prompts included. ChatGPT's free tier at chat.openai.com provides access to GPT-4o with usage limits that reset daily — this is adequate for authors who are not running dozens of prompts in a single session. Claude at claude.ai also has a free tier with comparable capabilities.

The cover design prompts in Bonus 3 are written for Midjourney and DALL-E. DALL-E is accessible via ChatGPT Plus ($20/month) or via the OpenAI API. Midjourney requires a paid subscription starting at $10/month. However, these cover design prompts are not required to benefit from the core pack. If your budget is zero for AI tools, you can still use the niche research, outlining, Amazon SEO, and marketing prompts effectively with the free tier of ChatGPT or Claude.

Amazon Associates is Amazon's official affiliate marketing program. It allows anyone with an approved Associates account to generate custom tracking links to products on Amazon.com. When a visitor clicks one of those links and completes a purchase within the attribution window, the link owner earns a commission.

For KDP authors, this creates an income stream that runs parallel to royalties and is almost universally ignored. When you promote your own books on a website, social media, or any external platform, you are already generating traffic to your Amazon product pages. If that traffic arrives via a standard Amazon URL, you earn only your royalty. If that traffic arrives via your Associates tracking link, you earn your royalty plus an affiliate commission on that sale and potentially on other items the visitor adds to their cart. For authors with even modest book traffic, this typically translates to $50 to $150 per month per active book after Associates setup is complete.

Publisher Rocket is a keyword research tool — it surfaces Amazon search data to help you identify terms with demand and manageable competition. It is a data tool. The AI-Powered KDP Publishing Templates Pack is a workflow system built on prompts and templates. These are not competing products; they address different problems.

Publisher Rocket tells you which keywords exist. The prompts and templates in this pack help you write a book around a validated niche, structure an outline that fits the category, write SEO-optimized metadata, plan a launch, and set up an additional monetization channel via Amazon Associates. If you use Publisher Rocket already, you can use these prompts downstream of your keyword research. The more meaningful distinction from most KDP tools is that this pack emerged from a real publishing operation with 120,000+ documented sales — not from a software company or a content marketer who teaches publishing without running a publishing business.

The prompts are written to be niche-flexible. The core structure of a niche research prompt, an outlining prompt, or an Amazon SEO prompt does not change fundamentally between, say, Children's Books and self-help or activity books. You insert your target niche or subject matter into the variable fields, and the prompt logic applies.

Francesco Baldi developed and tested this system in the Children's Books niche specifically — so the examples and some niche-specific guidance in the bonuses reflect that experience. Authors in adjacent niches like low-content books, activity books, early readers, and educational books will find the most direct applicability. Authors in more distant niches — business books, genre fiction, literary nonfiction — will find the prompts useful but may need to adjust framing and context variables more substantially.

This depends on where you are in your publishing cycle when you start using the pack. If you are in the pre-writing phase for a new book, you can run the niche research and outlining prompts immediately and use the keyword templates to build your metadata before you write a single word — this compresses a process that typically takes several days to a few hours. If you have existing books, you can implement the Amazon Associates setup in one to three hours and begin attributing your existing traffic to a commissions-generating link the same day.

Measurable royalty improvements from better niche selection and Amazon SEO take longer because they depend on Amazon's indexing cycle and your book's sales history — most authors see a meaningful difference within four to eight weeks of publishing a book with properly structured metadata. There are no guaranteed income outcomes. The fastest impact is typically on two things: time saved per book in the research and writing phase, and Associates commissions activated on books you already have live.

Some prompts in this pack are directly applicable to low-content books; others are less relevant. The niche research prompts work well for validating low-content niches — the logic for identifying demand, assessing competition, and finding positioning angles applies regardless of whether the final product has substantial written content. The Amazon SEO prompts for titles, subtitles, and keyword strings are directly applicable to journals, planners, notebooks, and activity books. The Amazon Associates setup guide applies to all KDP products without modification.

The book outline prompts and cover design prompts are written with content-forward books as the primary use case — for a lined journal or a planner, an outline prompt is less relevant. The book description templates work across formats. Overall, low-content publishers will find approximately sixty to seventy percent of the pack directly applicable as written, with the remainder requiring moderate adaptation.

The free Tier 1 product is a seven-to-nine page PDF titled "10 Free AI Prompts for KDP Authors," available via Gumroad with no email address required. It contains ten prompts drawn from the full Templates Pack, organized across four categories: niche research (two prompts), book outlining (two prompts), Amazon SEO (three prompts covering titles, subtitles, and keyword strings), and marketing (three prompts for book descriptions and launch copy).

Each prompt is presented with a brief explanation of its intended use, the variable fields you need to fill in, and a note on which AI tools it is compatible with. The PDF is formatted for practical use — it is not a sampler designed to tease content; it is a working subset of the full system. These ten prompts are functional on their own and will produce usable output if you apply them to a real project. No purchase is required, no email is collected, and there is no follow-up marketing associated with the Tier 1 download.

The free Tier 1 contains 10 prompts across four categories. The $47 Tier 2 contains 50 prompts across five categories, adding a full set of Amazon Associates monetization prompts not present in the free tier. Beyond the prompts, the $47 tier includes five additional components that do not exist in the free tier: 10 SEO Keyword Templates pre-built for the top 10 KDP niches; a step-by-step Amazon Associates Setup Guide targeting $50–$150/month in commissions per book; and five bonuses — the Top 20 KDP Niches Report for 2026, the 30-step Book Launch Checklist, the 20-prompt Cover Design Library, the KDP Pricing Strategy Guide, and 10 AI-optimized Book Description Templates.

The Tier 1 is a useful standalone product for authors who want to test AI-assisted workflows without any financial commitment. The Tier 2 is the complete system for authors who are ready to deploy it across their full publishing workflow. If you find the Tier 1 prompts produce noticeably better output than what you were getting before, the Tier 2 is the logical next step.

The $47 Tier 2 pack comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee with one stated condition: you must have tested at least three prompts from the pack and found that they did not produce usable output for your KDP workflow. This is a usage-based guarantee, not an unconditional refund policy.

If you download the pack, run three or more prompts against a real project, and the output is not useful to you, you can request a full refund within 30 days of purchase with a brief description of what you tested and what the output produced. Refund requests are processed via Gumroad. There is no interrogation process, no requirement to justify your assessment in detail, and no partial refund structure. The 30-day window begins from the date of your Gumroad purchase.

No. There is no email collection at any point in the purchase or download process for either tier. The free Tier 1 is available via Gumroad without creating an account or providing an email address. The $47 Tier 2 requires a Gumroad transaction, which Gumroad processes — Gumroad collects the email address necessary to deliver your download link as part of their payment infrastructure, but that email is not added to any marketing list, newsletter, or follow-up sequence operated by Francesco Baldi or francescobaldi.com.

There is no opt-in form, no lead magnet funnel, and no post-purchase email marketing associated with this product. You buy it, you download it, and that is the transaction. If you want to follow Francesco Baldi's work, his website is francescobaldi.com and his book The SEO Standard is available on Amazon — but neither requires your email address to access.

Yes. The system was built by a non-native English speaker. Francesco Baldi is Italian and runs his KDP publishing operation — 120,000+ books sold — on Amazon US, which is an English-language marketplace. Every prompt, template, and workflow in this pack was developed under the constraint of operating in a second language on a platform that rewards precise, idiomatic English in its metadata and product copy.

The AI prompts in this pack are written in English, and using them requires being able to read and follow English-language instructions. But they do not require you to be a fluent English writer — a significant part of what the prompts do is produce well-structured English output that you review and deploy, rather than requiring you to write it yourself from scratch. The Amazon SEO keyword templates are particularly useful for non-native speakers because they remove the guesswork about which phrasing Amazon's algorithm responds to.

Free KDP prompts available online tend to fall into one of two categories: extremely generic prompts that produce useful but undifferentiated output, or prompts that were written by content marketers who have not published significantly on KDP themselves. The difference with the prompts in this pack is structural and sourced.

Structurally, these prompts are built with constraint logic — they force specific outputs in specific formats because the person who wrote them knew what the downstream KDP workflow required. A niche research prompt, for instance, is not just asking ChatGPT to list popular niches; it is asking the model to evaluate a candidate niche against specific competitive and demand criteria, output the analysis in a usable format, and flag disqualifying factors. That level of specificity in prompt design comes from running a publishing operation with real sales feedback, not from writing about publishing. The $47 price point reflects that difference.
