This is one of the most common questions I get, the answer is… it depends on your topic. For most nonfiction books, a solid range is 20,000–50,000 words. That’s usually enough to clearly teach something, solve a problem, or guide your reader to a specific result. But here’s the key 👇Longer does NOT always mean better. I’ve seen shorter books perform really well because they are: - Focused - Easy to consume - Straight to the point If your book delivers a clear transformation or solves a specific problem, people will buy it...regardless of length. That said, there’s a business side to this too… 💡 More pages = higher printing costs Which means your royalties can get squeezed if you're not paying attention. 👉 If you want to run the numbers yourself, you can use Amazon’s calculator here: https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/royalty-calculator PRO TIP: During formatting, you can strategically adjust things like: - Font size - Line spacing - Margins This can help reduce page count (and printing costs) while still keeping your book clean and professional. At the end of the day, don’t focus on hitting a specific word count—focus on delivering value. That’s what actually sells books 💰

If you already have a published book, I want to help get more eyes on it 👀 Inside our community, I’ve created a 𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐃𝐢𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐲, and I’d love to feature your book there — completely FREE for members. 👉 If your book is already published (preferably on Amazon), just send me a DM and I’ll get it added. Why this matters…getting exposure is one of the hardest parts of self-publishing. While being in the directory might not instantly generate sales, it does something incredibly important behind the scenes: - Sends traffic from external sources to your book - Creates backlinks to your Amazon listing - Signals to the Amazon algorithm that your book is getting attention And those signals? They matter. 🔍 This is where my SEO background comes into play — I’m very intentional about how this directory supports your book long-term. But here’s the truth most people miss… Traffic alone won’t fix a poorly optimized book listing. If your book page isn’t set up properly, you could be leaving sales on the table. Ask yourself: 👉 Did you actually do keyword research before publishing? 👉 Are your categories strategic… or just guesses? Most people skip this step or don’t know how to do it effectively. That’s why I personally use tools like Publisher Rocket — because data matters if you want to sell. 🚀 Want Me to Optimize Your Listing For You? If you’d rather skip the learning curve and just have it done right… I’m now offering Book Listing Optimization inside the classroom for $150.
