Think about how you consume content today. Are you more likely to watch a 60-second video... or read several paragraphs of text? For most people, it's the video. The same psychology applies to your Amazon book listing. Your cover grabs attention, your title creates curiosity, and your description helps answer questions. But a video can create an emotional connection in seconds. Someone gets to see the book, hear key takeaways, and understand why it's worth buying—all before they ever scroll through your description. That's why I believe video is one of the most underutilized marketing tools for self-published authors. One thing you can start doing today is encouraging your readers to leave a review after they finish your book. Better yet, invite them to leave a video review if they're comfortable doing so. Inside your book, consider adding a dedicated page that: - Explains how reviews help independent authors. - Includes a QR code that takes readers directly to your Amazon review page. - Mentions that video reviews are especially helpful because future readers can quickly see and hear why someone enjoyed the book. Of course, you can't control whether a customer chooses to leave a video review. That's where Amazon Influencers offer another opportunity. An Amazon Influencer can create a shoppable video about your book that appears on your Amazon product page. It's not the same as a customer review, but it is an Amazon-compliant way to add engaging video content to your listing and help potential buyers better understand what your book offers. 🎥 Through the end of the month, I'm offering Amazon shoppable videos for just $50, and that price includes purchasing your book. If you've been wanting to add video content to your Amazon listing, now is a great time to take advantage of it. Check out this video I just did for @Tess Brigham, her book is called True You: A Step-by-Step Guide to Conquering Your Quarter-Life Crisis

Can you imagine a single book generating over $3 million every month? I was randomly browsing Amazon the other day when I came across Theo of Golden by Allen Levi. According to the estimated sales data I was looking at, this one book is generating more than $3 million per month across all Amazon formats. Even after publishing books myself for years, seeing a number like that completely stopped me in my tracks. It's also a New York Times Bestseller, having launched in 2025. Now here's the part that really got me thinking... Do you think Allen Levi sat down to write this book knowing it would eventually generate millions of dollars every month? Probably not. He simply took the next step and put his work into the world. That's the lesson. None of us knows what our earning potential is until we stop overthinking, stop waiting for the "perfect" time, and actually publish. Your book might change someone's life. It might open doors you never expected. It might create opportunities and income streams you can't even imagine today. But none of that can happen if your manuscript stays on your computer. If you've been stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what to do next, I'd love to help. Inside my Premium Community, I'll walk you through the publishing process step by step so you can finally get your first book out into the world. Because the biggest limitation usually isn't the market... It's never giving your book the chance to exist in the first place. 📚🚀

Last night I was out at a concert and as I was on my way home leaving the event someone slammed into the back of me. It ended up being a 3 car accident. Someone slammed into the car in back of me which pushed that car into mine. Fortunately, I was the only one in my car, and I was not injured. One of the best things about a Tesla is that it records everything on the camera. The downside is that the guy who caused the crash did not have any insurance. It's going to just be a mess to get sorted out and just another thing for me to try to solve. So I might not be as "active" as usual while I try to navigate next steps in the next few days.
