Thanks 😊

Great info, Melissa. I have seen many videos on Keywords, most dealing with low content where you are trying to find a good opportunity to compete. However, regarding novels, Keywords with a low search number and good BSR could have many great reviews, 1000s, which would make it harder to compete. Does the rule of having a low number of reviews apply that much to novels? Say your Keywords have a search number of 61, 13 books on the first page with a < 100k BSR, but with 4 books over 10K reviews, 3 from 3K to 5K, and 6 under 1K. My question is: Does the number of reviews matter that much for novels? After all, you are not trying to find a new niche to compete in; you are competing against the best in the Novel business. Your thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated!

Thank you for sharing this valuable information. It greatly aids me as a first-time author gearing up to publish a nonfiction book.

I love it. Straight to the point.

You got a new subscriber my friend!😊

I did not know that books used to be published in chapters - I just found out about Vella and it sounded to me like the "dime" novels that used to be sold - which makes me very happy because it's like the dime novels have returned. A short paperback book really appeals to me. Thanks for the great info!

Beautiful

Thank you so much for this video!!! ❤😂

Is it mandatory to fill all the seven boxes of the keywords, or just fill three to four?

Hi I’m new to your channel and just subscribed. Thank you for sharing about this. I am an Author in 6 Anthology books and I just released my 1st Anthology book Beloved Caregiver on Amazon KDP and I am learning more about Self Publishing in my Author Journey.

Yes. Marketing, marketing, marketing!

good luck with your work 👏

Hi Melissa, thank you for this information. I'm about to launch my first book and wonder if individuals that want to download my eBook, will they need to download the Kindle App in order to do so?

Hi Melissa, I am a subscriber and enjoy your videos. I'm a writer and I'm seriously thinking of doing Kindle Vella for a 90,000-word novel I'll be completing in a few months. My question is this: I notice all the paragraphs on Vella stories are not indented. In my Word document, I indent my paragraphs. Would I have to manually change all my paragraph indentations or is it done automatically when you post your episodes to Vella? Thanks.

Amazing insights here. Keep up the great work 🙌

Totally agree

Thank you!

I have account in kdp How to make promotion forvreader to buy my book

Melissa, how do I get this view on my laptop?

Thanks!

Considering myself a hardcover option. I just ordered one for the first time to test. This was February 2023. It was not great. Blown up images, glue on the cover, and slightly crooked cover. Will keep testing, but based on this first impression I'm not inclined to put out a hardcover version.

Thanks very much for sharing your experience with free ebook promotion on Amazon.

very nice video! thank you!

hard cover take longer due to the hardcover cardboard stock/print process. it is essentially 5 products they have to prepare for; paper for inside book including fly cover, ink, glue, cardboard for cover, laminate hardcover. and the machine that prints the book is not the same machine that prints the hardcover then laminate it. so paperback prints really quick, only needing 3 materials, compare to hard covers 5. The hardcover print date is later becasue they waited for the hardcover, so they dont have a book without cover sitting in the warehouse for 2 extra weeks.

What was the print cost of the hardcover vs the soft cover?

Hi! Are you going to continue your story on Vella?

I'm sorry but so far as an active reader I dont agree with you on that first sentence being long being bad. If that first sentence doesn't hook me I don't keep reading even in a description.

I wondered how a hardcover looks and the quality looks really good. Thank you for this fast review :). nice regards from austria

Very detailed information. Thank you so much for your review Melissa.

I watched a ton of complicated vids about ads and learned a lot but this one game the big AHA! moment I was needing. Simple and effective. Danke!

I think the hardcover being misaligned is due to the wrap around.

In this kind of promotion you get kenp read?

Thank you 😊

You're great, i have never seen anyone explaining it that easy, Thanks and lease keep up!

I enjoy your videos, Melissa. You are so low key and cool. And a good teacher.

I saw that you've recently begun a Kindle Vella story. You could add story tags up to 7. :)

Usually the best choice is said because it disappears. :)

I've heard people were helped by The Happy Sleeper by Heather Turgeon. Of course, this was a few months ago. He's probably sleeping better. :)

You are amazing

This was very helpful. Thanks for the post. I've liked and subscribed.

Thanks for this. It has given me some ideas.

Thanks for your videos. They're really helpful.

Hi Melissa. Can you tell how to set the reading location for KENP

I can’t wait for this to come to the UK!

I would have always said a webpage is a must, but you make some really good points.x

is there currently any way to make a book permanently free on kdp?
