One thing authors often overlook when marketing their books is 𝗨𝗚𝗖 — 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗿-𝗚𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁. UGC is essentially someone sharing their personal experience or opinion about your book. It feels conversational, authentic, and much less like a polished advertisement. Take these two videos I recently created for 𝗠𝗼𝗺, 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗶𝗿 and 𝗗𝗮𝗱, 𝗬𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗠𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗶𝗿 by @Mun-Won Chang Instead of simply saying, “Here’s a great book, go buy it,” I’m able to: 👉 Physically show the book 👉 Flip through the pages 👉 Point out details I genuinely liked 👉 Explain who I think would enjoy it 👉 Talk about why it would make a great gift That gives a potential buyer something a product description alone can't always provide: 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗲𝗲𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝗳 𝘀𝗲𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻'𝘀 𝗲𝘆𝗲𝘀. And here's where this gets REALLY interesting for Amazon authors... You can't simply upload your own marketing video wherever you want on your Amazon book listing. However, eligible creators in the 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻 𝗜𝗻𝗳𝗹𝘂𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗿 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗺 can create shoppable videos, tag the products featured, and Amazon may place those videos on relevant product detail pages. That means someone who is already on Amazon considering your book could potentially see a real person holding it, showing the inside, and talking about their experience with it. 👀 That can be incredibly powerful at the point of purchase. Amazon specifically says approved influencer videos may be discovered on relevant product detail pages once the influencer qualifies for on-site placements. 👉 If you want a UGC style video for your book.

A good UGC-style video gives you something visual, personal, and persuasive that can help a shopper go from:

Launched my non-fiction book on August 26th and ran KDP Select free days starting the 29th. I went through the storefronts one by one to see where it actually landed—and it went further than I ever expected. The Geographic Breakdown: - United States: #1 Chronic Pain · #1 Pain Management · #1 New Age Mental & Spiritual Healing (peak #655 overall free Kindle store) - United Kingdom: #1 Disorders & Diseases · #1 Alternative Medicine · #1 Spiritual Self-Help - Germany: #1 Mental & Spiritual Healing · #1 Pain Management · #1 Self-Help for Spirituality - Australia: #1 Sacred Self-Help · #1 Pain Management · #1 New Age Mental & Spiritual Healing - Canada: #1 Chronic Pain · #1 Mental & Spiritual Healing - Netherlands: Peak #172 overall free Kindle store (my best rank of the whole run!) - India: #2 Spiritual Self-Help · #3 Personal Health eBooks - Mexico: #4 Health & Family (Foreign Language) 14 #1 rankings · 9 distinct categories · 8 countries · $0 ad spend. (Full transparency: these are the free charts, not paid—a smaller mountain, and I'd rather state that clearly than let anyone assume otherwise. But hundreds of readers now have the book in places I never would have thought to target.) Final Hours: The book is still 100% FREE on Kindle until midnight PDT tonight: 👉 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0HF2RBHWX Healing Isn't Your Job is about my 38 years living with chronic illness, and what shifted when I finally stopped using the mind to fight for wellness. (No Kindle device needed—you can read it on any phone or laptop via the free app). Good luck to everyone launching this month!

🎥 Turn Your Book Into a Shoppable Video If you’ve ever seen a short product video directly on an Amazon listing, that’s a shoppable video—and authors can use them too. In the sample video I did a book video review for @Ciska Venter for her book FOUR DIRECTIONS OF THE HEART Watch the short explainer video below to see how they work and why they can be useful for your book. For authors, shoppable videos can help: - Give shoppers another way to discover your book - Show the actual book in a more engaging way than static images - Build more confidence before someone buys - Create additional content around your Amazon listing - Put your book in front of shoppers who are already in buying mode 📚 And if you already have a published book, I’m now 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗼𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 $50. That $50 includes me ordering your book directly from Amazon, so you don’t have to send me a copy. That purchase also gives your book an additional sale through Amazon, which can contribute another positive sales signal to Amazon’s ranking and recommendation systems. Once I receive it, I’ll create the shoppable video featuring your book. 𝗢𝗥𝗗𝗘𝗥 𝗬𝗢𝗨𝗥 𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞 𝗩𝗜𝗗𝗘𝗢 𝗛𝗘𝗥𝗘 ▶️ Watch the short explainer video below to see how it works.
