🤯 I realize that I actually don't mention this enough but yesterday @Rasheed Hooda posted a WIN 🌟 that I wanted to make sure gets the visibility it deserved. Not long ago, I worked with him on optimizing his book. We improved his categories, his backend keywords, and SEO optimized his listing description. Since making that improvement, he saw more royalties in a few months than he had in the whole year of 2025! 💥 Many of you don't realize but I have a full time career doing SEO at a corporate level, this is the stuff that I am skilled at doing. If you have not yet invested in my favorite tool Publisher Rocket, and you would prefer that I spend the time doing the keyword research, category research, improving your book listing description for search and getting on a 30 min 1:1 call to go over it. My package for this is $150 Are you ready to see an uptick in your book sales? 👉👉 OPTIMIZE MY BOOK!

Choosing the wrong category could be costing you hundreds of dollars in sales — and most authors don't even know it's happening. 📉 I just dropped a new video breaking down how I choose Amazon book categories using Publisher Rocket, and why hitting "bestseller" isn't actually the goal I'm chasing anymore. Some categories require 500+ sales a day to hit #1. Others only need 11. Same effort, wildly different odds — the difference is picking categories where you can actually compete instead of going head-to-head with major publishers and their marketing budgets. I do this research with PUBLISHER ROCKET 🚀 it's an amazing tool that I highly recommend if you're serious about publishing a book that you want to earn money from!

You might have missed this, but during our Premium category research call last night, @Jim Flach was the only member who showed up. (REPLAY IS NOW AVAILABLE) That meant he got something pretty special: a full 1:1 strategy session with me. We spent the call researching Amazon categories and identifying where his books have the best opportunity to compete. Sometimes that's the hidden advantage of showing up. If you're the only person on the call, you get my full attention.🚀 One thing many self-published authors underestimate is how much category selection can impact visibility and sales. It's not just about writing a great book—you also need to position it where readers can actually find it. Not long ago, I worked with @Rasheed Hooda 💜 to optimize his book LIFE: It's a Trip. We improved his keywords, categories, and book description, and those changes helped increase his organic sales without needing to publish a new book. Even as a FREE community member, I give you immediate access to my list of 25 Amazon book categories that can make earning bestseller status much more achievable. But with the publishing playbooks you also unlock the TOP 100 BOOK CATEGORIES Why does that matter? Some Amazon categories require hundreds of sales per day to become a bestseller, while others may only require around 25 sales per day. Choosing the right category can completely change the level of competition you're facing. If you're serious about building a self-publishing business, my Self-Publishing Playbooks walk you through the exact frameworks and systems I've used to generate over six figures in book royalties while working full time.

Most authors focus on getting more traffic to their Amazon book listing... but what if you could increase the percentage of visitors who actually buy your book? Here's a strategy that doesn't get talked about very often. It came up during today's live call while I was talking with @Jim Flach . If you already have a published book on Amazon, you can potentially increase your conversion rate by having an Amazon Influencer video featured on your book listing. This isn't the same as a written customer review. Amazon Influencers can create short product videos that appear directly on your product page under the videos section. These videos give potential buyers an independent look at your book before they purchase. They can flip through the pages, show the interior, explain who the book is for, and highlight what makes it valuable. Why does this matter? 📚 It helps build trust with potential buyers. 📚 It gives shoppers more confidence before they click "Buy Now." 📚 It can keep people on your listing longer, giving them more reasons to purchase. If your listing already has great reviews, adding a quality influencer video can be another piece of social proof that helps convert more visitors into customers. 🎉 July Special For the month of July only, I'm offering to create an Amazon Influencer video review for your book for just $50. Here's how it works: ✅ Place your order in the classroom. ✅ DM me your Amazon book link. ✅ I'll purchase your book. ✅ Once it arrives, I'll create and submit an Amazon Influencer video review and tag it to your product listing so it has the opportunity to appear on your Amazon page. This introductory price won't last forever, and I'll only be taking a limited number of books. If you've been looking for another way to strengthen your Amazon listing and potentially improve conversions, now's a great time to take advantage of it.
