What metrics does Niche Scout use to evaluate a niche?

Niche Scout analyzes Amazon search volume, Best Seller Rank (BSR) of top competitors, the number of self-published books on page one, and total search result counts to determine market viability.

How does it estimate daily book sales?

The skill uses a BSR-to-sales conversion table to translate the Best Seller Rank of top books into an estimated volume of daily copies sold.

Does this skill require external API access?

Yes, Niche Scout requires API credentials for DataForSEO (keyword volume) and Apify (Amazon scraping) to provide real-time market data.

Can I use Niche Scout for audiobooks and paperbacks?

Absolutely. The skill specifically checks Kindle, paperback, and Audible platforms, as a keyword that is too competitive on Kindle may have high potential in other formats.
