I haven't been active here for a while because @Laura Diaz and i are working closely to produce a masterpiece which would be out soon. Just a check i hope we are having a great weekend

✨ Reading Time: < 1m | Utility: High Answering questions about the tools I use for niche research, I realized that 90% of the time I use BookBeam is for the Book Tracker function to track BSRs and reviews of my books. BookBeam is a pretty expensive tool, and I started to question myself: Is it really necessary to pay for the subscription just to have the tracker? Of course, Publisher Champ has all the data, and I can look at BSR and reviews there, but Publisher Champ is so informationally dense that I still prefer to use the clean interface of BookBeam. It looks like a hard decision to make. Since I do not like to burden myself with unnecessary, hard decisions, I decided to choose the third option: create a Catalog Tracker for myself. Decision made → done. Now I have the Catalog Tracker. It is lightweight, clean, and highly functional. And if I did it and I like it, why not share it with others, right? So, you can try it right now. Comment "TRACK" below, and I'll message you the link to try it out for free. You can track up to 50 books. But the most important thing is that if you have a catalog of tens or hundreds of books, you do not need to make a decision which books are worthy of tracking - start from the Royalty Guild Sales Analyzer and add your most performing books to the Catalog Tracker automatically. If you are using your BookBeam subscription the same way I am, and the tracker helps you save on it, that would be great. P.S. If you do use it, let me know: What’s one feature you wish BookBeam had that could be added to this?

Look at the BSRs and the number of reviews. Working on my analytical tool, I routinely watched the first page of BSR-sorted books: BSR #1 – 1 review (the data in the tool is delayed for a few minutes), BSR #1 – 1 review, BSR #37 – 0 reviews. I thought it was some glitch, but no. It is the reality: BSRs less than 50 and almost no reviews. And now the most cryptic thing – all such books were published two days ago, May 12th. Please, somebody, explain it to me. Why May 12th?

Need your Support and Guidance / Thank you !

The question of @Laura Diaz made me think about the fact that sometimes we all need to convert a lot of physical documents into one file. It can be notes for a manuscript, receipts to claim expenses, or a multi-generational notebook with recipes from our grandma. Of course, we can use a scanner or take photos page by page. Well, some people can, but I am too lazy for it. I decided to share how I operate in such a situation. Basically, you just need to show documents to your phone and the phone will do the rest. Do you know a more effective way?
