I want to publish my first book how can I boast it to be in new release for 30 days?

[@cheryllifeat50]

Thank you for this, I have nearly finished my first high content book, its been a love hat relationship but Im now looking forward to launching correctly.

[@KenSelfPublishing]

Awesome to hear! Big milestone. Goodluck! I have a more recent book launch video you should check out as well :)

[@eundraw1772]

Hi I’ve been watching your videos for 2 days now, all your contents are very informative. I’m launching a new book and this helps me a lot. Please continue to upload informative videos.

[@KenSelfPublishing]

Thanks so much for the support! Really glad you’re enjoying it. Lots more to come!

[@OSINACH]

[@waychester]

This is by far the best video I've seen on the subject. Thank you so much, it really made me confident again after months of work and research.

[@KenSelfPublishing]

Really glad you enjoyed it!! Thanks for the support

[@drGregArana]

Awesome action packed. Concise very useful summary. I am launching again in 6 weeks and this is a great checklist as I always forget to do one thing or the next! 😢😢😢

[@KenSelfPublishing]

Thank you so much! Glad you enjoyed it. Good-luck! Drop any questions you have regarding your launch :)

[@Taylerrrrr]

God bless you brother 🙏 I'm a beginner and released 5 high content books without a launch process. I wast just uploading them and praying to god. Rightnow i learned a lot from you and also I wrote a big note from this video and I'll apply this process to my upcoming book. And if i get even one sale it's 100% because of you and i will surely meet you and appreciate you my brother ❤🙏 Thank you🥰

[@KenSelfPublishing]

Really glad I could help! Its a process that starts right at niche selection, take your time and execute every step properly and you'll do great.

[@KenSelfPublishing]

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks so much for the support:)

[@Kevinakletva]

@@KenSelfPublishing Hmm, It seems that i Just find the right keyword for my book. What would that keyword be if my book is "Night in Zagreb" by author Adam Medvidović - me? If you find time to check this out it would mean a lot to me, but your videos are very helpful anyway. Thanks for helping us.

[@shannonjohnson6381]

Wow! Such great help! I like how you repeated what to do! I don’t feel overwhelmed like other videos! Feel like I can do this! Thanks Ken

[@KenSelfPublishing]

Really glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for the support :)

[@CryptoMark88]

You offered awesome content here, Ken! My #1 KDP guy on KZbin :) One question regarding the reviews that comes from Facebook. Does Amazon allow you to write reviews for books that the user did not purchase through Amazon? Thanks a lot! Keep going!

[@KenSelfPublishing]

Glad you’re enjoying it! They’re allowed to leave reviews but they don’t come up as “verfified” reviews. However, If you collect readers before launch you can get them to download the free book during your promo and it’ll be verified

[@DannyOnDemand]

Great video, thanks for sharing. I run a weekly newsletter for my audience and I would love to include you for some interview questions about high content books. Regards, Danny

[@KenSelfPublishing]

For sure! Shoot me some questions [e-mail]

[@AfzalMuhammad-i3v]

very informative video . when I launch the book with kdpslect can I launch on pubby aswell ???

[@smallzinc]

How do you put the link to review the book inside the book before you've published it and therefore have a link in the first place. In other words, how do you have a link to the book before you've published it?

[@KenSelfPublishing]

1. Create a QR code with no link, update it after the book is live. 2. Simply add the QR code after your book is live and update your manuscript to have it inside once you’ve gotten your ASIn/review link!

[@smallzinc]

@KenSelfPublishing what service provides a qr code without a link? How does that work?

[@yamitf77]

how do I provide a free copy to Facebook group members? thank you.

[@emmifortin]

Love your videos Ken! Do you have an updated email address to inquire about strategy calls? The address on your lading page was returned to me and said it could not be found.

[@KenSelfPublishing]

Glad you’re liking the videos!! :) Interesting. [e-mail] should be the best form of contact! Looking forward to hearing from you!

[@ariellasmakeup7709]

Sorry for all of the questions but when i add the page in my book asking for reviews how do I add a link or qr code? Once I've uploaded it on to amazon I'm assuming I can't go back and add pages? So how do I get the link beforehand? Thanks!

[@Taylerrrrr]

Firstly upload as an ebook and then copy it's link and put it in the paperback version. I would do that but i don't know anything about it.

[@KenSelfPublishing]

You can update your manuscript when your book is live as much as you want. So you'll have to upload the ebook, get the ASIN and QR created on a page, then add that page to the PDF. Its just a process that has to be done. But yes you can update your manuscript as much as you want! DOnt be afraid to make updates if you see mistakes in your book after launch.

[@ariellasmakeup7709]

Great video! When you send people a free copy on Facebook how do you know they won't steal your book? Any tips? Also isnt it a huge problem if people are reading for free not a verified purchase? Also I went on pubby and to get snaps and review other books i first need to upload my book. Does that mean my book needs to already on amazon selling? Thanks for any help Edited: seen some bad reviews about pubby because most people arent actually reading the book obviously and so the reviews seem fake, wrong audience, theyre just copying the book title or description. My book is for female audience in a very specific genre so not sure.

[@KenSelfPublishing]

1. You can add a watermark across your manuscript!- But most of the time people wont be inclined to steal. They dont even know Amazon KDP is a thing and wouldnt know what to do with it 2. No its not. There is nothing wrong with someone reviewing a book without buying, it just comes up as an unverified purchase. What you can do: When you run your free promo nudge them multiple times to download the book during this period, then their review will come up verified. 3. Im not sure. I thought there was a way to use pubby before hand. It might be worth inquiring with their customer service. Pubby Reviews: This definitely happens but it's not the majority. 95% of the reviews I get on pubby are well thought out and curated, you get the odd person who doesn't care but you can actually get refunded snaps from Pubby if you're not happy with the quality of the review. But of course, if you don't feel comfortable with Pubby then try the Facebook review method!

[@barpal7847]

When I missed doing ads and relaunched within the first 14days because of an error in the manuscript is the game over or should I just run 100$ ads for the next 14 days? It is a word search and my first book. I simply am afraid I wont do any sale due to this failed launch. Do you have any advice?

[@KenSelfPublishing]

I would just continued on as normal. It’s still a new book and it will be fine! Don’t be too strict with it. Do the best you can and move onto the next book as long as there is demand a book can still do well at any point. Jusr start the launch now and that’s no problem. Your book can still get seen through ads and such regardless of your launch. So if it’s good, has reviews, and there is demand start some ads and see if you can boost its ranking.

[@barpal7847]

@@KenSelfPublishing 100$ for a beginner is pretty much investment. Is it realistic to generate some sales even without ads nowadays or do you really need a fanbase or ads to get some dollars out of the work? I mean I am currently investing hundreds of dollars in this business already without having seen any single cent. Or is it simply necessary to invest tons of money first and lose money in the beginning to learn from this?

[@hebrux]

How can you make a sustainable profit if you're selling your ebook for $0.99?

[@KenSelfPublishing]

I personally don’t think so unless you hit it big and sell thousands of copies per month, with multiple books. But paperbacks are where all the money is

[@iamcharitymjumbo]

What if your amazon account is managed by your publisher

[@KenSelfPublishing]

I’m not quite sure I understand the question, would will you need access to do things or are you not allowed to log into it?

[@tatianaescobar5959]

One question ► How do I send a FREE copy for reviewing my low-content book?

[@KenSelfPublishing]

You could probably just send people the PDF version, but it makes it more difficult as low-content books can be activity books or coloring books. But when sending books out early its always the PDF
