@Shane Vigeant Hi Shane - I know it's important to have a Wikepedia Page. I wrote text for one, then saw that you can't write it yourself. So how do people manage to get Wikepedia pages? I also tried to get a Google page (forget what it's called) but it told me it couldn't find any pages for me or the book. That doesn't make sense - the book has been around for 30 years and there are lots of pages that have information about it (that I didn't write myself). Can you help with information and advice? Thanks!

If anyone has an author website that they’re particularly proud of, can you share a link? I’d just like to see some good examples in order to get some ideas for my own page. Thanks in advance!

Just got off the weekly meeting. Learned several new things about marketing books. As always, a well spent hour. Come join us next Monday, the 21st. Check the link in the Calendar.

Hi - I'd like to better understand the audit results in ALK, because they don't match up with the author bio and book description that ALK gives me. For example: 4. Owned Content Depth & Quality Score: 6 / 10 Her website and LinkedIn profile provide a solid foundation of content related to her expertise. However, the absence of verified structured data and engagement metrics suggests room for improvement in content depth and technical quality. What does "verified structured data" mean? I assume "engagement metrics" mean the number of people coming to my website? It's great to have the ALK audit, and it was great to have Julie's video audit. But there needs to be follow up so I can understand the meaning of both of these and ask a few questions. I'm not sure that the Monday session offers enough time to get this kind of information. Usually a program at this price point would include at least one opportunity for a one-on-one talk with someone - in fact, it was mentioned that this was included. As you can tell, I'm frustrated = there's a lot of judgment with little explanation and no next steps. That has only limited value. Can you help?

I am horrible at writing marketing boilerplate. However, for both of my books, ALK produced a starting point that with a couple hours of editing, I am extremely pleased to use for Bowker, Ingram and KDP. It also helped with my bio and keywords.
