One of the things I've learned after publishing about a dozen books on KDP for a year - don't mess up the title and subtitle. Get the keyword in the title, and secondary keywords into the subtitle, even if the subtitle is a bit long and awkward. Don't mess this rule up or you're just doomed from the start.
@karenduey96752 жыл бұрын
But aren’t we supposed to put the actual book title? I’ve published several books and I’m not having great success. It’s very frustrating because I’m trying to do lots of good keywords and A+ content, but they’re still not seen.

I don't understand why so many 'KZbinrs' claim that they are earning thousands of dollars with Amazon eBooks. I have three pseudonyms and at least 45 e-books (and paperbacks). I write in four languages (english, spanish, portuguese and French), and I make only $1200 a month. I'm not "rich" with Amazon. And I promote a lot, e even promote my books in my own websites, in my blogs, and in my Facebook groups (3k members each group). And I'm still not rich 🙂

Thanks for your content, Sean! Great tips and insight! Even with a graphic design degree I still need continual practice! As we consume and practice good design we obtain an eye for it like you mentioned. At some point you definitely see where bad design ends and good design begins. It’s all around us every single day. From poor to mediocre, good to phenomenal, and every level in between. Great design can often go unnoticed or be taken for granted because it is so effective. After all, design is a part of everything. Your video reminded me of this quote, “Nail the basics first, detail the details later.” ~Chris Anderson

Hey Sean, The first 30 days sales and ranking is bit tough one specially for low content books where customer wants to see the Look Inside Feature. I have published few planners and the Look Inside Feature almost took 10 to 14 working days to appear properly. (still some books have interior rendering issues). Even after running Ads,.. most of Planners couldn't transform into sales because people wants to see what is inside the book. How would you tackle such issu, when interior of your book is important for people to see before they buy?
