Thanks for coming Jennifer!
Group Discussion: How'd you get your last 10 book sales?
For next week's coaching call, I'd like to discuss what's working for authors right now. Was it Amazon Ads? A podcast? Library sales? Something else? Let me know below what's working for you, and pop in next Monday to join the crew!
My weekly shout-out about Shane's Monday Group
We are getting some new folks; however, far too many people are missing out on this excellent opportunity to ask questions and have them answered well by someone with tons of experience.

Thanks Joe!
Wikipedia and Google Pages
@Shane Vigeant Hi Shane - I know it's important to have a Wikepedia Page. I wrote text for one, then saw that you can't write it yourself. So how do people manage to get Wikepedia pages? I also tried to get a Google page (forget what it's called) but it told me it couldn't find any pages for me or the book. That doesn't make sense - the book has been around for 30 years and there are lots of pages that have information about it (that I didn't write myself). Can you help with information and advice? Thanks!

Lots of questions here, haha. Lemme try and tackle 'em. Wikipedia pages - You'll only get the opportunity to get a wiki page about yourself if you pass their rules for "notability". (You have to be famous enough basically). Here's a more in-depth article on it. For Google Knowledge Panel, cross domain presence, and outside reviews...are all those podcasts, articles, interviews, reviews, etc. pointed (linked) to your website? Do you have these items listed on your website anywhere? The crawler robots need a way to link you (the person) to all of your cross domain presence across the web. If Google says it can't find any pages for you, that means you aren't actually linked to those things. I'd suggest compiling all of these and showcasing them on your website with links to all of these. Then, I would suggest hiring an expert to help you with making sure your website is being properly indexed, and help you with the Google Knowledge Panel as well. A local digital marketing agency can help you with all of these things!

@Lauriann Greene This is a pretty specialized service, so I'd either hire a contractor on Fiverr.com or find a local digital marketing agency who can help out! (I wouldn't know about pricing on this since we don't offer it)
Author Website
If anyone has an author website that they’re particularly proud of, can you share a link? I’d just like to see some good examples in order to get some ideas for my own page. Thanks in advance!
