Welcome to our new member @Lita Abella! I learned about Lita's book yesterday and am glad to welcome her to the group. Looking forward to hearing more!

Hi all, I’ve been working on my book title for weeks (maybe months!) and have read a lot about what makes a strong one. I think I’ve landed on a title that ticks most of the boxes — at least it makes sense to me. The challenge is: 1. I’m not sure how it sounds to others. 2. It might be on the long side. I even ran it through the AM Institute’s EMV Headline Analyser, and it scored 43%, which is decent, but I’d like to know how it lands with real people. What’s the best way to properly test a book title? My personal network doesn’t know much about writing books, so I don’t think they’d give me the most useful feedback. Thanks in advance, Alex

OK - I have several book titles that I will list here. Based upon the title alone can you describe the books content? BTW I ran each title through the Headliner Anaylzer and the lowest scored was in the mid 30's and the highest was in the mid 50's. According to the EMV analyzer most professional copywriters' headlines will typically have 30-40% EMV words in their headlines. However, this is only one way to determine if a title/headline will resonate. Be brutal with your critique - after the many days of testing and rewording and testing some more - in my state of mind your brutal words will not even make me flinch. I truly thank you for your thoughts about these titles.

I have a question open to all: What is the best way, or ways, to test out a book cover title? I have a few good ones, and frankly I am having a hard time with this one. To date I have published 3 books - 2 memoir/history and 1 spiritual and had no prob with the titles for those books. This is a How To, and I have identified what I want the title to say and not to say. Frankly this one is stumping me. Any suggestions are greatly appreciated.

What does everyone think about the Doodle videos? Mostly explainer videos to establish authority and market to other audiences. I have been looking into making this application into a way to appeal to other or different audiences
