    Great stuff Vigilante! When are you gonna post about getting a trademark? Did you get one? I'm interested in doing this for one of my series, but it looks like 1,200 is the official minimum price.

    Strategies for Marketing on Amazon?

    MARKETING 
    Thanks, Tell us more about the Amazon search report! I don't think we have that as an option on the "book" side of AMS. I haven't seen the other side, so I can't say, just been doing book ads with AMS. Sounds like a very good tool though. Yes, automatic keywords generated by -zon are cool, what...

    Strategies for Marketing on Amazon?

    MARKETING 
    1.Interest based ads are not keyword ads - these are the "category" ads where you can only choose a broad category like "psychology". 2. The point with the keywords is to let goog do the work for you. You DON'T know what keywords are good. So use a keyword tool, (doesn't have to be goog, but...

    Strategies for Marketing on Amazon?

    MARKETING 
    2 Best strategies: 1.) You can do broad interest based ads for 1-2 weeks and watch your ACoS like a hawk, when it nears 70% shut the ads down. 2.) Do keyword based ads -this will be your most lucrative ad- go to Goog's keyword planner and get the relevant keywords for your book. Dump up to 1000...

    Publishing Children's Books on Kindle using Kindle Kids Book Creator

    PUBLISHING 
    Hi Jeffrey, thanks for this! Really good run-down of the Kids Book creator. I was wondering how do those pop-ups look (do they even work?) in the "normal" kindle, paperwhite, etc.? Or are they only working on full color pads like the kindle fire etc.?

    I would: do separate publications for both - the more books the better. publish a free cheatsheet on -zon to get your first subscribers too. Address? Whaddya mean? You address your target readers for each book, However for kids books you could Address your ADS to the parents of the kids...

    That's awesome! Your two posts above are a great Benchmark or model. I've been interviewing successful authors on my blog for a while and your model/method is kind of like the Steve Scott model, where you build a palette of high quality books for a niche. But the membership site is a great...

    hello. It's very difficult to answer this question because obviously it's a massive field. Of course there is demand for books. I think the development over the past few years is that the quality of self pub bed books has to be higher...maybe closer to traditional publishers. There was a trend...

    Jeff Walker is the real deal. You should definitely take his free video course - it's his product launch formula in a nutshell, and if you are savvy you can fill in the gaps. Ebooks are competitive, true, but there are other platforms like createspace. Steve Scott has some excellent articles...

    Sounds like a darned good campaign to me! No I wouldn't take a different approach. You are increasing your spend 50% at each step, smart move there, seems to be an industry standard now. Lead ads, YES they are cool, I will be testing them more e.g. I have been getting a solid 7% "dead"...
