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.

A few days ago, my KDP account was suspended for alleged review manipulation. Since I spent a lot of time searching for similar experiences while going through it, I thought I'd share what happened and how the situation was eventually resolved. On June 13, I received an email from Amazon stating that my KDP account had been suspended because they had detected attempts to manipulate customer reviews. The email asked for detailed information about any methods used to obtain reviews, third parties involved, customer accounts, documentation, and corrective actions. At that point, Amazon did not mention any specific book. The suspension was account-wide. Naturally, I panicked. Like many people would, I started looking for answers everywhere. I analyzed sales patterns, review history, previous account alerts, and every possible explanation I could think of. The more I searched, the more confused I became. During this process, @Adriano Ferrigno helped me in every step of the way. He reviewed the case, analyzed Amazon's responses, and drafted each appeal that was submitted. I provided the underlying information and documentation, while he helped organize everything into clear responses and guided me through the process as the case evolved. I submitted my first appeal along with supporting screenshots and explanations of the promotional methods I had used. A couple of days later, Amazon replied. They still did not provide much detail, but they finally identified a specific ASIN that was under review. I then sent additional information related to that title, including documentation and a more detailed explanation of the promotional activities connected to it. Amazon responded again with what was essentially the same request for information. At that point, I provided an even more structured response, answered every question as clearly as possible, attached supporting documents again, and explained the steps I would take going forward. On June 21, Amazon reinstated my KDP account.

💰 Hypothetical Question... If Amazon dropped a $10,000 royalty check into your bank account this month from your books, what would you do with it? Would you: 📚 Reinvest it into publishing more books? ✈️ Take a dream vacation? 💳 Pay off debt? 🏡 Put it toward a home project? 📈 Invest it for the future? 👨‍👩‍👧 Spend more time with family? One of the things I love about publishing is that every book can become a digital asset that continues working long after you've finished writing it. So tell me... What's the first thing you'd do with a $10,000 royalty check?

I'd love your thoughts on the cover for my next book!! https://99designs.com/contests/poll/31ad942072
