A lot of first-time self-publishers have an idea, get excited, and run straight into writing their book. The problem? They skip one of the most important steps — upfront research and planning.
This is where so many authors hit a wall. They pour months into writing a book, only to find out there’s no real market demand or the competition is too high for them to gain traction.
That’s why I always start with research. 📊Today, I’m sharing a new YouTube video where I walk through one of my favorite tools, Publisher Rocket. This tool helps me:
✅ Find out what readers are already searching for
✅ See how competitive those topics are
✅ Pick the right keywords and categories so my book actually gets discovered
