☀️ Summer Book Sales Sprint
Let's be honest... Most self-published authors have at least one book sitting on Amazon that barely gets any sales. Maybe you published it, crossed your fingers, and hoped Amazon would somehow do the marketing for you. Or maybe you got excited about the next book idea and moved on before giving the first book a real chance to succeed. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. This is one of the most common mistakes I see among self-publishers, especially newer authors. We spend weeks creating a book, hit publish, and then immediately jump to the next project without ever optimizing or promoting the one we already have. The good news? There are still plenty of things you can do to improve your book's visibility and give it a better opportunity to generate sales. That's why I'm considering launching a 4-Week Summer Book Sales Sprint in July. During this sprint, we'll focus on improving and optimizing books that are already published. Each week will cover specific actions you can take to help increase your book's exposure and sales potential. 👉 Week 1: Optimize Improve the pieces that influence visibility and conversions. 👉 Week 2: Review Push Build social proof and gather more reviews. 👉 Week 3: Social Media Videos Create content that helps drive awareness and traffic to your book. 👉 Week 4: Traffic & Ads Learn strategies to get more eyes on your book through both organic and paid traffic. 💰 Investment: $99 The goal is simple: stop letting published books collect dust and start giving them the attention they deserve. If you'd be interested in participating, please vote in the poll below so I can gauge interest before I move forward with planning and scheduling everything. 👇 Would you join the Summer Book Sales Sprint?

🚀 Leveling Up Has Its Perks!
Last week I had a great 1:1 strategy call with @Robert Redden - He was able to book a private call with me because he reached Level 5 in the community and unlocked access to my personal calendar. You all know I'm pretty protective of my schedule. Between my full-time job, family life, and everything else I have going on, I don't spend all day on Skool. My time is valuable, so this is one of the ways I give back to the members who are actively participating and serious about growing their publishing business. Here are some of the rewards you can unlock as you level up: ⭐ Level 2 – Guest Expert Replay Events ⭐ Level 3 – AI Prompts to Speed Up Your Book Writing ⭐ Level 4 – My Self-Publishing Checklist ⭐ Level 5 – 1:1 Strategy Call with Me ($60 Value) The best part? You don't have to buy anything extra. Just comment, engage, ask questions, support other members, and contribute value to the community. As you participate, you'll naturally earn points, level up, and unlock bonus content along the way. What level are you currently at? Drop it below! 👇

Tracking the Success of Your Book
Many authors make the mistake of measuring only one thing: sales. Don't get me wrong—sales matter. But they're not the only indicator of whether your book is moving in the right direction. ➡️ For example, your Amazon BSR (Best Seller Rank) can tell you how your book is performing compared to other books in the marketplace. As your rank improves, your visibility often improves as well, which can lead to more impressions and more opportunities to make sales. Running Amazon Ads? If your ads aren't getting enough impressions, it could be a sign that you're targeting keywords with little search volume or that you need to expand your keyword list. Getting impressions but very few clicks? That may be a sign that readers aren't connecting with your cover. Remember, your cover's job is to earn the click. Getting clicks but not sales? Now it's time to look at your Amazon listing. Your title, subtitle, description, reviews, A+ Content, and overall positioning may not be matching what shoppers expected when they clicked. The point is this: Sales are the final result, but there are several metrics that help explain why you're getting those results. The more you understand the numbers behind your book, the easier it becomes to identify what's working, what's not, and where you should focus your efforts next. 📚 What metrics do you pay attention to besides sales?
