I was right about keywords and categories
The brand is the way to go. I made a page to explain Amazonās algorithm: š https://teneo.io/algorithmic-publishing If you want the full deep dive, you can go here: š https://wiki.authornation.live/The-Hidden-Rules-of-Amazon-A-Smart-Guide-for-Self-Publishing-Authors-217762f8793a806b9109d5858e911e36 This means we can engineer brands from the ground up to align with Amazonās algorithm. Algorithmic publishing is the next evolution of the indie author economy. I think we can get to a point where we can mathematically predict a brandās success and engineer it from its creation. Brand (x) ā will make (y)$ ā in (z) time. Iāve got that magic sprinkled into the brand builder Iām working on at teneo.io/brand-builder. (Coming soon) That will design brands based on brand-level algorithmic targeting ideas outlined at https://teneo.io/algorithmic-brand-blueprint. Each brand can train Amazonās algorithm to find its readers and grow its sales. All we have to do now is make interesting books people want to read and ship them consistently enough to stay relevant in Amazonās 180-day rolling window. So I made a tool for finding the viral books too:š https://www.teneo.io/profitable-book-series Remember ā weāre not building one-off, flash-in-the-pan books that make money for a short time and die. Weāre engineering book catalogs with mathematical precision ā catalogs that pay us forever and allow us to retire (if we want) when Amazonās algorithm peaks in 3ā5 years. The last piece of the puzzle is managing our portfolios and tracking the execution. For that, Iām creating a portfolio dashboard. Details here:š https://www.teneo.io/portfolio-management
