    Newbie Importing and Selling on Amazon

    SOURCING EXECUTION 
    My 24 year old daughter has an ali express app on her phone and loves getting cheap stuff from China. She also has Amazon Prime and loves 2 day delivery. An older couple I know seem to be all about how cheap they can get things and he loves ordering from China through ebay. They're frequently...

    Yep it seems to be the winner everywhere so I'm running with it. Waiting on three drawing fixes from the designer then it goes to proofing. Here's the back cover sans barcode

    Thank you. I am aware there is always better and always worse. I claim neither :)

    I cropped the center in an attempt to simplify and make it less busy. Too much so it seems :)

    Rep++ because I forgot the default was 10. Your version definitely gives me a lot to think about.

    I like the black one too but no one else seems to yet. The drawings are wrong for this particular book though, and the black should probably be an actual color instead.

    Beautiful example thank you. All of you have been super helpful. Admittedly I am torn. I don't like fiddling endlessly. These designs are much better than anything I can do and scrapping them puts me back another week or two while also bloating the budget. I'm leaning towards pushing this out...

    Dennis that last one isn't bad but none of those are very appealing it in line with competitors. I may just have to burn a few isbns for split testing

    Colors are off. The pink is bright on some screens and peach on others. Blue is sometimes purple. Getting that fixed. The black is most professional but the artwork doesn't match the book theme and contents. Currently evenly divided between pink and blue with women preferring the pink so far.

    Two finalists. Downsizing changed the colors slightly, so I'll have to figure out how not to mess that up in the final upload. Thoughts?

    Sorry but unless you have direct access to their stats, your numbers are crap. Making assumptions based on Search engine 'keywords' and rankings gets you nowhere near the truth. And that doesn't even begin to help you estimate their sales close ratio. I've owned and operated hundreds of...

    How many hours do you work a week!

    I get stuck at the definition of 'work'. When I'm reading business magazines or self improvement books, my family says I'm working but I see it as relaxing. When I'm browsing forums and other hangouts looking for trends, problems, solutions, etc I see it as procrastination and/or downtime. I'm...

    Yes, I realized this morning it's been almost 15 years since I've produced print books and there were several things I was overlooking. I've sent the specs and design suggestions to my designer and will share her concepts when I get them in the next few days. Meanwhile I'm finishing the interior...

    Care and Feeding of Employees & Contractors

    PEOPLE 
    FWIW, I think an important initial step is to understand the difference between employees and contractors. Someone with an employee mindset generally wants or expects to be micromanaged, trusts they're entitled to specific things by law and wants to rack up steady hours. They are more...

    Putting some of the more complex designs on the cover is an excellent idea. Those draw the biggest crowds and help the product stand out from lower quality stuff.

    You're right Vig. There's a reason I'm forcing myself to outsource more. Just handed it off to one of the artists so we'll see what she comes up with :) Thanks again guys!
