@Yna Davis @Elissa Graeser @Julie Broad Is it okay to use the word "relieve" in the following subtitle, or would it be considered a violation on Amazon of making a mental health medical claim? Here's the subtitle...it's for a meditation book... "How to Relieve Stress, Anxiety, and Depression and Restore a Sense of Inner Peace and Calm" I know that words like "....will Prevent Heart Disease" or "will lower blood pressure" for ex. are medical health claims that shouldn't be used, but I'm not sure about the word "relieve". Is it problematic?

There was a great post from an author that spent $44,000 on a book launch and what worked and didn't work, and she shared that influencer marketing was maybe not the best investment. That story combined with an audit of our Amazon Ads performance over the last five years inspired me to share this video. Have you paid an influencer for book promotion? How'd it go?

Hey everyone! I've been scrolling and viewing some pasts few post and most post genuinely caught my attention because behind every meaningful piece of writing, there’s a deeper story, the spark that brought the idea to life, the personal experiences that shaped it, and the unseen challenges that come with turning imagination into something others can connect with. I was curious about your journey: when you began writing, did you expect the creative process to be the biggest challenge, or did you discover that building visibility and reaching the right audience became an entirely different chapter of the journey? I’ve been exploring how authors are creating stronger connections around their work, and I’ve noticed some fascinating patterns in how stories gain attention and build lasting relationships with readers. I’d genuinely love to hear your perspective, what’s one approach, lesson, or discovery that has made the biggest difference in your writing journey so far?

Hello everyone! My name is Tommy Boyd, and I’m an independent author from Toccoa, Georgia. My book, A Rough Patch: Living Through Fear, Faith, and Hope, shares my journey through serious heart problems, fear, recovery, and faith. I joined this community to learn better ways to reach readers and market my book on a limited budget. I’m also working toward an audiobook and planning my next book. I look forward to learning from everyone and connecting with other nonfiction authors. If God did it for me, He can do it for you.

@Shane Vigeant Hi Shane - I know it's important to have a Wikepedia Page. I wrote text for one, then saw that you can't write it yourself. So how do people manage to get Wikepedia pages? I also tried to get a Google page (forget what it's called) but it told me it couldn't find any pages for me or the book. That doesn't make sense - the book has been around for 30 years and there are lots of pages that have information about it (that I didn't write myself). Can you help with information and advice? Thanks!
