Here’s the hard truth: Readers don’t stop reading because they’re “too busy.” They stop because the first chapter didn’t hook them enough to stay. The top mistakes I see: ❌ Info-dumps that bore readers ❌ A slow build-up with no stakes ❌ Introducing too many characters at once ❌ Failing to show WHY this story matters right now When that happens, you’re not just losing a chapter… 👉 You’re losing loyal readers who will never come back. The fix? ✅ Drop readers into immediate tension or conflict ✅ Reveal character motivation early ✅ End Chapter 1 with a question that demands an answer Readers are ruthless. If you don’t win them in the first 10 pages, you might not win them at all. Don’t let weak openings cost you loyal fans. I help authors tighten their story strategy so readers don’t just start your book—they finish it and buy the next one. 👉 https://www.fiverr.com/s/99ErXqD

❌ Writing books that only sell once is the fastest way to kill your author career. ✅ Readers come back when your writing builds loyalty, not just completion. If readers keep ghosting after Book 1… it’s not them, it’s your storytelling strategy. 👉 Don’t lose another loyal reader—get pro-level story guidance today. 🔗 https://www.fiverr.com/s/9 9ErXqD

A lot of authors rush into writing without an outline or even knowing who their reader is. The result? ❌ Messy drafts ❌ Constant rewrites ❌ A book that doesn’t connect with anyone The fix is simple: ✅ Define your reader ✅ Build a basic outline ✅ Write with direction It’s not about making things rigid—it’s about giving yourself a roadmap so you can actually finish your book and make it resonate with the people you want to reach. 👉 Do you outline before you write, or do you just dive in?

Here’s the harsh truth most authors don’t want to hear: Your Amazon ads might not be broken—your cover might be. You can run perfectly optimized campaigns with solid copy and smart targeting… But if your cover design doesn’t attract clicks, your ad spend is being wasted. 🔍 What makes a great KDP book cover? It fits the reader’s expectations for your genre The title is clear and readable, even at thumbnail size It looks professional and intentional, not DIY It feels aligned with your story’s tone 📉 What happens with a weak cover? Low CTR (click-through rate) Wasted impressions High ACoS Zero ROI If you're wondering why your ad dashboard is showing dismal results... Ask yourself: Would you click your own book if you saw it on Amazon? 📩 Want a second opinion before you launch or scale your ads?

Just because your Advertising Cost of Sales (ACOS) is low… doesn’t mean your ads are working. Here are 5 ACOS traps that trip up even experienced indie authors: 1. Not Knowing What a “Good” ACOS Is If you don’t know your break-even point, you can’t tell if your ads are making or losing money. 2. Thinking a Low ACOS = Success A 10% ACOS with $5 in spend is not a win. It just means you're not getting real visibility 3. Panicking at High ACOS Too Early Ads need time and data. If you kill a campaign in week one, you may never give it a chance to perform. 4. Ignoring High ACOS That’s Driving Sales Your book is selling, gaining rank, and getting KU reads—but you shut it down due to one metric? You could be sabotaging your momentum. 5. Not Factoring in Read-Through or Series Revenue If your first book hooks readers into a series, you need to evaluate ACOS beyond Book 1. Think: lifetime reader value. 💡Takeaway: Your ACOS should inform—not scare you. Amazon ads work when strategy meets clarity. If you’re overwhelmed, I can help you understand what’s going wrong—and what to do next. 📩 Comment “ACOS help” or DM me directly. 👉 https://www.fiverr.com/s/99ErXqD
