I hear you, Dane, but I am not doing any of those things. My book has been out for a month now and selling average of one a day. Not too good. I am about to have the cover redesigned because I went for pretty instead of genre. It is a gamble, more expensive and more work, but hopefully it will pay off. There is so much to think about all at once. I have tried many marketing things and don't think they have brought results so far. Don't know what I am asking you, just nice to talk to somebody about publishing. I am all on my own with this endeavor. Thanks again for your videos. I love them. Sally
Dear Dane! An expert speaking! I am just wanting to get started and this - again - triggers my perfectionist me 🤣So I am super overwhelmed! BUT I greatly appreciate your input! ... I will try that! Thanks!
Commenting so I will note I"ve already watched this. Reasons: 1. Bad Cover (lousy title, non-contrasting colors, bad imagery) 2. bad title 3. bad keywords 4. bad description 5. not choosing good categories. 6. Bad pricing. This is all without mailing list, book video, author page, book page. I really don't want to do a mailing list.
I feel like Mickey from the original Rocky movie. Harry Potter is like the guy that knocked out Dempsey and I'm Mickey who knocked out Guinea Russell. I ain't got no manager. I got pain and I got experience but no help with marketing.
Hi Dan i don't know something my book aren't showing even in page 10 maybe amazon indexing problem i think at least should my Book appear in some where in the first to 3 page for the first month
so ive sold products on amazon with zero reviews so it depends on product and your marketing experience. It seems you rely totally on reviews for your sales. I come from a marketing backround and reviews are just part of the puzzle but not the whole thing. Never tried amazon kindle etc but why are you saying "without any reviews youll inevitable get no sales" it seems amazon kindle heavily values reviews. Reviews/tstimonials are what you use to support proper ad copy. Not the whole bases for sales in marketing 101. So why do you use that phrase so much that no reviews inevitably leads to no sales. Again i have no experience with kindle but i come from a marketing back round and generally a weak marketer is one who needs to rely on soley reviews because they have a weak product
