Does this ever happen to you? You're doing niche research, scrolling through Amazon, and you spot a book that looks really interesting. Great cover, intriguing title, maybe it's doing well in a niche you're exploring... But then you see it sponsored. And you hesitate. Because you know what it's like to lose money on clicks that don't convert. You don't want to cost that publisher $0.50-$2.00 just to check their page. So you don't click. And you miss out on valuable research. Well, I've put something together for that KDP Sponsored Bypass a free Chrome extension that automatically cleans sponsored links so you can view product pages without costing the advertiser anything. How it works: - Click any sponsored product normally - The extension strips the tracking parameters (sprefix, ref, crid, etc.) - Opens a clean product page in a new tab - The publisher doesn't pay for your research click Bonus features: - Right-click any link → "Open Clean Link" for manual control - "Copy ASIN" instantly to clipboard - Tracks how many links you've bypassed (and estimated money saved) It's 100% free, no data collection, and designed specifically for ethical KDP research. I'm waiting for it to be approved in the chrome store and will post the link once it's done, but is it something that would interest you?

Good Morrow my fellow classmates. My name is Jeff Padgett although most people just call me Padgett. You an call me whatever just don't call me late for supper. I've practiced law for the last 25 years mainly criminal defense but I have done things in the music world and at one time was an NFL agent. But now I want to get into book publishing and teaching. I anticipate starting a community in the future. It'll be a mash-up of law and how law affects EVERY industry and aspect of our lives. Good to meet Y'all.

It's crucial when planning a new book to analyze reviews of your top competitors' books to improve your own. Now you can do it in a few clicks with the Royalty Guild Review Collector. This free and extremely simple-to-use Chrome Extension allows you to collect all reviews from a page into temporary storage and then navigate to the next page. Once you've gathered all necessary reviews, simply download them as a CSV file to analyze with your LLM of choice. Just upload the attached "Review Analyze Prompt.md" file and the downloaded CSV file to Gemini, Claude, or ChatGPT, and type "Execute the prompt." You will get a ton of insights for your niche.

Gathering feedback from Facebook groups and through Facebook ads, compensating readers for your book purchase, and, hopefully, converting that into Amazon reviews is a good strategy. But even the previous sentence sounds a bit complicated. Not to mention actually building a system for corresponding with potential readers, tracking who is at what stage, and tracking compensation (both to prove to Amazon that the reader received only compensation and not a reward, and for tax accounting purposes). What are your thoughts on the topic? Do you use such a system? If yes, how do you organize it?

Got my copy of this new teammate book. Looking forward to my new read
