One thing I wish more new authors understood is that finishing the manuscript is a HUGE milestone…but it’s not the finish line. Before you hit Publish on Amazon KDP, you still need to think about: → Is the title clear and appealing to the right reader? → Does the cover fit what readers expect in your niche? → Are you using your 7 backend keyword boxes strategically? → Did you choose relevant categories? → Does your description actually make someone want to buy? → Is the interior formatted professionally? → Do you have any kind of plan for getting eyes on the book after it goes live? This is actually why I’m such a big believer in planning your book BEFORE you spend months writing it. You don't want to finish a book and then realize you never thought about how you were going to position or sell it. 💬 Where are YOU right now? A. Planning my book B. Writing it C.

I haven’t published anything new in over a year, and my books have still earned 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 $𝟯𝟬,𝟬𝟬𝟬 𝗶𝗻 𝗿𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘆𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝘀𝗼 𝗳𝗮𝗿 from ebooks, paperbacks, and audiobooks. That’s one of the things I love most about publishing. A book can become an asset that continues working for you long after you hit publish. You don’t have to constantly hustle to convince people to buy it. If you position the book well on Amazon, the content is good, the topic is in demand, and you continue getting reviews, that book can keep generating sales month after month. Now, publishing on Amazon is 𝗡𝗢𝗧 𝗮 𝗴𝗲𝘁-𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗵-𝗾𝘂𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝘀𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗲. Not every book is going to become a huge income generator, and some books will perform much better than others. But every book you put on the market is another earning opportunity. Over time, those books can stack. One book might bring in a little. Another might become a strong seller. Another might perform better in audiobook. Another might surprise you months or even years later. That’s how a catalog starts to build. Books can create income, authority, and legacy. The goal isn’t always to publish one book that changes everything. Sometimes the real power is in continuing to build assets that can keep working for you for years.

Amazon Ads can be a great way to get more eyes on your book and see how your book performs against competitors.

I personally recommend having a minimum of 20 reviews before turning on ads. Customers want social proof.
