I was right about keywords and categories
The brand is the way to go. I made a page to explain Amazon’s algorithm: 👉 https://teneo.io/algorithmic-publishing If you want the full deep dive, you can go here: 👉 https://wiki.authornation.live/The-Hidden-Rules-of-Amazon-A-Smart-Guide-for-Self-Publishing-Authors-217762f8793a806b9109d5858e911e36 This means we can engineer brands from the ground up to align with Amazon’s algorithm. Algorithmic publishing is the next evolution of the indie author economy. I think we can get to a point where we can mathematically predict a brand’s success and engineer it from its creation. Brand (x) → will make (y)$ → in (z) time. I’ve got that magic sprinkled into the brand builder I’m working on at teneo.io/brand-builder. (Coming soon) That will design brands based on brand-level algorithmic targeting ideas outlined at https://teneo.io/algorithmic-brand-blueprint. Each brand can train Amazon’s algorithm to find its readers and grow its sales. All we have to do now is make interesting books people want to read and ship them consistently enough to stay relevant in Amazon’s 180-day rolling window. So I made a tool for finding the viral books too:👉 https://www.teneo.io/profitable-book-series Remember — we’re not building one-off, flash-in-the-pan books that make money for a short time and die. We’re engineering book catalogs with mathematical precision — catalogs that pay us forever and allow us to retire (if we want) when Amazon’s algorithm peaks in 3–5 years. The last piece of the puzzle is managing our portfolios and tracking the execution. For that, I’m creating a portfolio dashboard. Details here:👉 https://www.teneo.io/portfolio-management
