I work in SEO professionally, so I know how important solid research is. When it comes to researching keywords, categories, and competitors for books, Publisher Rocket continues to be my preferred tool. Here are five reasons why: 𝟭. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗯𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗻𝗻𝗲𝗿-𝗳𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝘆. Compared with some other research tools on the market, Publisher Rocket is fairly easy to understand and adapt to. You don’t need to be an SEO expert to start finding useful information. 𝟮. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗮 𝗼𝗻𝗲-𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁. I purchased Publisher Rocket almost five years ago, and I’m still using that same tool today. I use it whenever I need to conduct keyword research for my own books or help members of this community research theirs. 𝟯. 𝗜𝘁 𝗼𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗥𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗲 𝗔𝗦𝗜𝗡 𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵𝗲𝘀. If you have the ASIN of a competing book, you can see which keywords may be helping that book get discovered. This can give you ideas for relevant keywords to research for your listing or Amazon Ads campaigns. 𝟰. 𝗜𝘁 𝗺𝗮𝗸𝗲𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗽𝗲𝘁𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗰𝗵 𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗶𝗲𝗿. Publisher Rocket allows me to quickly compare competing books and review information such as rankings, estimated sales, pricing, keywords, and categories. Instead of bouncing between dozens of Amazon listings, I can analyze the market in one place. 𝟱. 𝗜𝘁’𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗶𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁. For those of us who don’t adapt well to major interface changes, Publisher Rocket has remained refreshingly familiar during the almost five years I’ve owned it. Features don’t constantly move around, and I don’t suddenly have to hunt for something that used to be in a familiar spot. The bottom line is that research matters. Publisher Rocket currently costs $199 as a one-time purchase, but in my opinion, that beats paying $50 or more every month for a competing tool with a steeper learning curve. If you’re interested in trying Publisher Rocket, I’ll drop my referral link below. Have you used it before, or are you still doing most of your book research manually? 👉 GET PUBLISHER ROCKET

What if publishing and marketing your book didn’t require SO much overthinking? 🤯📚 One of the biggest things I see authors struggle with isn’t a lack of ideas—it’s figuring out what to do next. What should my title be? Is my book idea strong enough? What should I put in my Amazon listing? How do I market this thing consistently without spending hours figuring out what to post? That’s exactly why I built the Author Success Kit. 🚀 It’s designed to help take you from “I have no idea what I’m doing next” to having an actual plan. Inside, you can: ✨ Get help developing and strengthening your book idea 📚 Build out your publishing roadmap 🔍 Audit your Amazon listing and get actionable improvements 📱 Generate 50 marketing content ideas specifically for YOUR book 📅 Turn those ideas into an actual content plan so you can stop staring at a blank screen And that’s only part of it. I just recorded a video showing you why I built this, how it works, and how I’m personally using it to make book marketing easier. 👇 Watch the video and see the Author Success Kit in action.

Share Anything Friday — for the romance writers in here. I run The Invisible Pen, a Skool community built for romance fiction authors who want to use AI as a writing partner, not as a ghostwriter that takes the wheel. Okay, listen. We train the process: voice files, drafting without polishing yourself into a stall, editing passes that keep your fingerprints, covers, newsletters, launches, live clinics, and a lot of practical tools you can actually run on your books this week. The fun part is the community — people who are shipping romance and helping each other stay in creative control. If you write romance and you want AI that collaborates with your taste instead of flattening it, come hang out: https://www.skool.com/the-invisible-pen There is a 7-day free look, then it is $25/month. What are you writing this week? 🦋
