Exactly what I needed!! I am in the process of redoing my book cover and A+ content. Also working on blood description. I am struggling with ads do you have a video? Great video!!
Potentially, but I don’t have much experience with fiction. It’s more based on amount of reviews and higher ad spend. But definitely test it out and see! A new cover will technically make it more attractive and a lower price will make it sell more/get better ranking
I personally don’t think so unless you hit it big and sell thousands of copies per month, with multiple books. But paperbacks are where all the money is
Just click “edit paperback content” beside your book. It just takes you back in to the upload form and you can change everything except your author and title
@@KenSelfPublishing Thanks! So the thing is we already got 5+ reviews with pictures and videos showing the "old" cover, is it still smart to change it then?
Hi Ken! In the minute 6:24 why do you take the 1st, 2nd and 4th keywords as winning keywords but not the 3rd? It has more sales than the 4th one and a lower ACOS than the 2nd 🤔 What did I get wrong?
Really great video! I just put out my first ever book, it's a self help book on personal growth. After watching this video, I went and got over 30 reviews, many being verified reviews based on the free book promotion for kindle. So I followed the ads setup you provided to a T, and I think they're set up pretty well. My question is that it's been about 3 days now, and the 3 ads combined have only spent just over $2, when I have a daily budget of $12 on each because Amazon had recommended that. It does have 3,500 impressions, but is this normal to start out this slow out of the gate? I'm used to Meta ads where they always spend your daily budget. Is it just a time thing that will get better after a period? Thanks for the tips!
How in the world is this considered easy reading 100 books in order to get 100 reviews or even reading 20 books to get 20 reviews you might as well get a full-time job reading books this is not easy
Most books you review you’ll get 2-3 reviews worth of currency. Having a book open on your computer while working and reading a bit every once and a while isn’t that hard it’s pretty easy to do. Can easily go through a couple books a week. You can also select shorter books with less than 10k words.
@@KenSelfPublishing , Thank you for the response. It is rare that someone will actually respond on their channel comments. What do you think is the best way to get those 5-20 reviews (besides Pubby) and build your ARC Team?
Hi Ken and everyone! Loved the video 😊! I have a silly question probably but why do we need a limited number of winning books (3-5)? Isn’t it a good sign if there are more winning books so the likelihood is higher than ours will too? Or did you mean that if the amount of winning books is higher than 5 ours will face much more competition? Thank you in advance everyone!
You can have more that’s fine, I guess if there is too many it’s just a lot of competition. If there is less, there is a higher chance of you ranking high with less books to compete with. The lower competition yet proof of the topic selling is the best place to be. If the entire 1st page is winning books, yes the demand is there, but how likely are you to rank better than all the books already established and selling well? Appreciate the support!
More or less yes but there is often a lot of brands that are bigger authority figures. Biggest tell is the books. Do they have thousands of reviews? Probably a larger company
You can but it will most likely not get many sales. You’ll need at least a few reviews to atelast show your book has some credibility, doesn’t have to be a lot
Hi, Ken This is a very informative video, but if I may make a suggestion for making it better then you should make the screen bigger and take away your face. I’m watching this video on an iPad and I’m finding it difficult to read the screen because of the size of the letters.
The best time investment to learn everything you need to get started with KDP publishing! I really enjoyed watching this video, taking notes, it is so well explained, thank you so much for making this video for us, it is very valuable and the BEST one i have seen so far. I wish i had found it sooner and started off the bat with your recommendations.
Maybe you could clear something up for me? For the winning campaigns products - I use the the ASIN shown under Matched Product, right? Your help is really appreciated.
I don't mind "negative" reviews, I think one can learn from their opinions. But: I just get 3 or 4 stars w/o a text review (I guess from kindle!?). So I have no chance of knowing why they rated my book that way which is a petty.
Yeah it’s tough, just the name of the game. We will always get these but most likely the positive reviews will over power them. I would say a 4.3 star is the most accurate as if it’s just all 5 stars it come across as fishy. A few normal reviews makes the book seem normal! The only time negative reviews rally effect your book is if you have like 3-4 stars on your product page and it doesn’t fill any part of the fifth star
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm having trouble getting reliable information for search volume. I ordered BookBeam and spent 2 months researching thousands of keywords in the keyword research tool. I noticed the results in the BookBeam app were drastically different than the results in the Amazon BookBeam extension. further research showed drastic differences minute over minute for the same keyword. Do you know why? Is there a more reliable tool out there?
Hi Ken, I downloaded your spreadsheet but is slightly different from the video, do we still consider that if there is read in the first three columns of traffic and demand then is a no go? also why the "do books match the search term" is now on competition section? shouldn't we check that in the first section? Thanks in advance
Ideally it’s still green but trust your judgement. If it’s a few over that’s fine. I just moved it around slightly and the metrics are what’s important not necessarily the categories. I will be perfecting it for my program which I will be launching this fall!
If I run these ad campaigns for 4 days at only 10 dollars a day, how many people will buy the book, even if it's really impressive? I mean, what's the upper limit for buying with so little money and in such a short time?
Gosh! I’ve watched many RU-vidrs who post about KDP and I always come back to you! You’re so clear in explaining each process and the information is so valuable! Thank you for what you do!
When you create a second campaign for the "Manual Product" how do you go about doing it? for the key words, you can use winning key words, but for the Manual product campaign does amazon tell you what winning books that you placed in your campaign were mostly searched so you use those books again when you create the second manual product campaign?
