The Six Powerful Tips That Can Help Scale Up Your Earnings On Amazon Kdp by Progresswike03: 8:03am On Nov 01, 2023
Many times I had been asked by many publishers that keep on complaining of very low sales on how that they can increase their sales as publishers on Amazon..

What I told them on How that they could increase their sales is what am about to tell you now because it would enable get more sales..trust me đź‘Ś



So, sit tight and get your popcorn and a chilled zobo as we dive into what we have today.

1. Perfect Your Book Description

A good Amazon book description is crucial for your book to do a well. Your book description gives readers a taste of your writing style and tells them exactly what to expect when they buy your book.

Your book description should look and sound professional. A poorly written description hurts youhhr credibility before anyone ever reads your book. Run your blurb through a grammar checker like ProWritingAid to check for mistakes, style, and readability.

Aim for a genre-appropriate, keyword-rich (but not keyword-stuffed) blurb that is crafted carefully and professionally. We’ll talk more about keywords in the next section.

You can also format excerpts and review quotes. You’re not limited to plain text. Amazon KDP uses HTML formatting for descriptions.

2. Research Long-Tail Keywords

One of the most important aspects of Amazon self publishing is the keyword boxes, which allow you up to forty-nine characters. A keyword is a word or phrase that people type into search engines to find what they’re looking for. Readers on Amazon will search for keywords to find books they want to read.

Aim for specific long-tail keywords. Instead of “regency romance” (a broad, short-tail keyword), you might enter “regency romance widowed heroine” (a specific long-tail keyword).

You can research these using a keyword research tool, hiring an expert in KDP categories and keywords, or simply using an incognito window to search yourself. Look for keywords that only give you a few hundred results, not thousands, to decrease your competition.

3. Request Extra Categories

Kindle Direct Publishing has preset categories for books, and it’s hard to select the best one for your work. When you upload your print or ebook manuscript, you can select two Amazon categories.

Often, your book might fit into multiple categories. You also enhance your chances of being a bestseller in a category when you’re in more of them.

The good news is, you can add your book to additional categories with a bit of extra work. If you call KDP customer service, KDP will allow you up to eight more categories for a grand total of ten!

4. Invest in a Quality Cover

The first thing potential readers see is your book’s cover. A quality book cover can make or break a potential sale.

There are a lot of factors that influence whether a book cover is appealing. Different genres have different expectations. A generic cover does not take into account genre trends and expectations. A nonfiction book should not look like a YA fantasy book and vice versa.

Unless you’re an experienced graphic artist, avoid using DIY book cover makers, like the one offered by Amazon. Find experienced cover artists who are familiar with your genre and look at their portfolio. Reach out to other authors for recommendations or browse Instagram and Twitter to find artists who work with independent authors.

5. Hype Your Readers with Pre-Orders

If you want to have a successful book launch and be a bestselling author, you must offer pre-orders. Those pre-orders count toward your launch day’s sales. With enough pre-orders, you can jump the line and end up a top seller in one or more of your categories.

When you self publish through Amazon, you can allow pre-orders 90 days before your release. Don’t worry—you don’t need to have your manuscript completed‌ when you start pre-orders. You can upload the final manuscripts 72 hours before launch.

Use those three months to hype up your readers and get them to order your book in advance.

6. Focus on Interior Formatting

The quickest way to a one-star review is an ugly book. When your print books or your ebook format are a mess, you turn readers off before they get past the first page.

Don’t gloss over this step. There are several programs, like Atticus, Vellum, or Kindle Create, that allow you to format your book and make it look professional. It’s also affordable to outsource your formatting to an expert.

I hope you Learnt something new today🤗

Happy new month y'all 🤗

This Sha be the best of months for you in this year đź‘Ś
