If you’re publishing on Amazon and don’t have an author profile yet, you’re leaving trust, visibility, and sales on the table. Your Amazon Author Profile is where readers go when they want to know: - Who wrote this book? - Can I trust this author? - Do they have more books I should buy? That page answers those questions for you—automatically. If you have a KDP account established, you need to set up an Amazon Author Central profile. Yes, you can have multiple author profiles for each pen name. ✅ Why an Author Profile Matters 1. Builds credibility - A real photo + bio makes you look like a legitimate author, not a random listing. 2. Connects all your books - Every book you publish shows up in one place, making it easier for readers to binge your work. 3. Improves conversions - When readers trust you, they’re more likely to click Buy. 4. Strengthens your brand - This is your chance to position yourself as an expert, guide, or voice in your niche. I'm attaching some examples of author profile pages to inspire you! 👇 Drop a comment below once your author profile is live—or if you’re stuck and want feedback.

I want to share a story around a decision I made yesterday. I removed @Al Anderson from the group due to spam. This community has a zero-spam policy, and I take that seriously. My goal is to protect this space so members aren’t flooded with unsolicited DMs or pitches from people who aren’t here to contribute. That said, this has never been an anti-collaboration community. After a conversation, AI Anderson shared that his intention was to learn about books and participate without spamming. I’m open to second chances when intentions are clear and boundaries are respected. So here’s the line I’m drawing clearly: 👉 No spam. No cold pitching. No unsolicited DMs. 👉 Collaboration and community are welcome—when done openly and respectfully. To support that, I’m opening this one thread for visibility and connection. 👇 In the comments, feel free to share: - Who you are - How you help people - A link to your community (if you have one) This keeps everything transparent, optional, and respectful for everyone here. Thanks for helping keep this community valuable.

@Krista Brea I just wanted to thank you again. You're so helpful, and your AI prompt course is amazing. Just started with the book topics, and that's got my brain buzzing with all kinds of great ideas. Look forward to digging into it more my only problem is I try to do five things at once. I need to learn to find more focus. I may be king of the rabbit hole. Thanks again.

💥 It’s never too early to start marketing your book. Most people think marketing starts after the book is published. That’s already too late. If you’re even thinking about writing a book, here’s what you can start doing now: • Talk about your book idea on social media • Share what you’re learning as you research and write • Start building a small list of beta readers • Begin growing an email list early • Think about how your book fits into a bigger ecosystem 🔥 Your book shouldn’t be the finish line — it should be the front door. Before your outline is done, ask yourself: - What action do I want readers to take next? - Could this book lead to a course, a community, coaching, or a free resource? - How can this book collect data and build my audience? Personally, I add QR codes inside my books that send readers to opt-ins, resources, or next steps. That way, the book keeps working long after the sale. Highly recommend checking out @Jeff Baer and his community Skool Bio Profits he will hook you up with some custom QR codes! 👉 So even if: - You haven’t outlined yet - You’re still validating your topic - You’re at the very beginning Start thinking bigger than just “publishing a book.” Think strategy, ecosystem, and long-term leverage. Your future self will thank you. 👇 DROP IN THE COMMENTS WHAT YOU'RE GOING TO DO TO START GENERATING AWARENESS ABOUT THE BOOK YOUR WORKING ON
