Today I wanted to share a very valuable lesson, and it's basically a life hack if you want to do some keyword research for your book. ➡️ If you feel completely clueless when it comes to learning how to do keyword research, instead of guessing, you can actually use a competitor book to leverage AI to help you understand the keywords that the competitor book is ranking for. Check out this simple example prompt. 👇 I am planning to write a non fiction book about stock market investing. Here is a competitor book https://www.amazon.com/Stock-Market-Investing-Beginners-Step-ebook/dp/B0FKJSJBX4/ Give me a list of 25 potential keywords for me to research and let me know if you think there is opportunity in this topic for a new book to make money. --------------------- 1. Tell AI what type of book you're planning to write and what the book is about, or a general topic that the book is in. 2. Give it a URL to a potential competitor book that already is published on Amazon. 3. Ask for it to give you back a list of 25 potential keywords. 4. Ask for it to also give you feedback if there is opportunity in this topic to make a book on Amazon. 🔥 So once you have that information, what do you do next? This is where I would then leverage the power of Publisher Rocket to look up several of these keywords. You don't want to overuse keywords. You want to strategically use keywords. You want to find keywords that have higher search volume and lower competition, and that is what Publisher Rocket will help you identify. My rule of thumb is to only select three main keywords for using in your title and subtitle. Use the keyword with the largest search volume as your title and use two supporting keywords in your subtitle. 🚀 Run the prompt and let me know in the comments below how it went for you, or share a screenshot.

I want to make this community as valuable as possible for you—not just the classroom, but everything happening inside this group too. So I’d love to hear from you… What are you currently stuck on, struggling with, or wishing you had more support around that you’re NOT already getting from the classroom? It could be anything like: - Getting your book idea nailed down - Actually finishing your manuscript - Covers, formatting, or publishing steps - Keywords, categories, or getting your book seen - Marketing, ads, or generating sales - Turning your book into more income streams Or something totally different. Drop it in the comments 👇I’m reading everything...and I’ll use your feedback to shape future trainings, workshops, and support inside this community.

One of the biggest challenges most authors face isn’t writing the book… it’s getting reviews on it. And if you’ve ever tried, you already know....it’s not easy. It usually looks like: Reaching out to people one by one… Following up (multiple times)… Hoping they actually read your book… And then still ending up with little to show for it I’ve been there more times than I can count. It tests your patience REAL quick. But I will say… it does work if you stay consistent. ➡️ That said, there is an easier way. If you want to speed things up, I recommend checking out BookVillage. It’s a platform built specifically to help authors get legitimate book reviews by connecting you with real readers who are actually interested in your type of book. Instead of chasing people down, you’re putting your book in front of readers who are already there to review books. Here’s why I like it: - You get access to a network of active readers - It removes a lot of the manual outreach - It helps you build early traction faster (which Amazon loves) 🎉 TRY BOOKVILLAGE TODAY! 🚀 And right now, you can test it out with a free trial + discount, which makes it a no-brainer to at least try. If getting reviews has been slowing you down, this could save you a LOT of time and frustration. Pro Tip: Don’t rely on just one method. Use platforms like this, plus your own outreach (email list, social, community, etc.), to stack reviews faster. If you’ve struggled with reviews before, drop a comment...I want to hear what’s been the hardest part for you 👇

I wanted to share a little update on something I’ve been working on behind the scenes… As some of you know, I joined an Amazon Ads cohort with @Matt Radkiewicz . Even though I’ve been running ads on my books for years, I’ve never really labeled myself as an “expert” in this area and honestly, I wanted to tighten things up and learn some new strategies. One of the biggest reasons I joined was because I have several older books that I’ve kind of neglected over time. With everything going on in the community, I haven’t had as much time to publish new books lately… so instead, I decided to shift my focus to optimizing what I already have. ➡️ Check out Matt's Amazon Ads Skool Publisher Sea And I’ll say this just putting attention back into those books and turning ads back on has already started bringing in some sales again 👀 Since setting up these ads, it has helped me get about 10 sales on old books that were previously doing nothing, which I would say is a win, but it still takes time to optimize and improve. It’s a really good reminder that you don’t always need something brand new… sometimes there’s opportunity sitting in assets you’ve already created. That said, one thing I’m definitely being reminded of (and @Sybil Hall has said this too) is that Amazon Ads are NOT a “set it and forget it” situation. You have to check in, monitor performance, and make adjustments consistently if you want to see results. Curious—have you started running Amazon Ads on your books yet?

@Michael Wish my niece and nephew are going to have a hoppy easer with your books, no candy this year!
