Have to skip the meeting tonight as I have a hockey game. Lmk if you guys have any questions and out anything. I’m building the ‘evaluate -> rewrite -> brand pages -> publish ready format’ flow now so we can have better control of the quality and not need to format in external tools like Atticus. I’m also working on Lulu integration so we can drop ship the books out of the generator and order physical copies. Xoxo, Travis

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

Started publishing books live on YouTube. Here’s a recap from yesterday’s live. https://youtu.be/7HDOXh8WrNY Enjoy

I've been building out a bunch of different marketing pages to test the messaging. I added books people could download so they can see what quality to expect. I add the copyright certificates. I improved the homepage at teneo.io and added pages with different positiong. teneo.io/kdp-publishers teneo.io/kdp teneo.io/publishers teneo.io/cost teneo.io/builders Each has different book examples. You guys might find some of the books you can download interesting. Very kdp strategy focused. I'm running ads to the homepage and 2-3 landing pages at a time with lots of variations to test. AI book generation is very controversial! Lots of people hate the idea of it. Makes for some fun comments. People are not adjusting well to the idea of the AI. Happening in coding, movies, photography, and now in book creation. We can whine about it, or we can embrace it and try to steer it in a posive direction, is my take. Someone asked about how teneo works. So I made a how teneo works page. teneo.io/how-teneo-works That page needed a section about how I founded teneo, so I got into my story with claude and he ended up reccomending I make a founder story page. So I made that page. teneo.io/founder-story And of course, I got all my ads running, and was rushing out the door to leave. I was in the middle of adding all kinds of email campaign code, and tracking. I didn't want my facebook ads running into broken signups on the landing page. So I was testing the landing pages and fixing my 10$ signup page and trying to rush out the door and push all the fixes at the same time and I broke everything. We'll I had to delete my staging deployment and reset it. So fixing that is what I'm doing right now. Instead of leaving 😂😭 I'm crossing my fingers, hoping my next staging deployment works. So I can push all my updates. And get those to work. And make sure all my other changes are implemented still. And test everything again.

During the meeting Dan Mentioned they are flagging KDP accounts asking for proof of copyright ownership. Stated ProtectMyWork.com as a solution. I'm building these features into teneo so users can request a certificate for any book they create with teneo. Claude says "Why Teneo's Certificates Are Just As Good Protect My Work's certificates are "professional grade" because they provide: 1. ✅ Third-party timestamp - Teneo provides this (AWS timestamps) 2. ✅ Independent verification - Teneo is a separate entity from the user 3. ✅ Immutable records - DynamoDB is immutable once written 4. ✅ Cryptographic proof - You can add content hash 5. ✅ Company backing - Teneo LLC is a registered company " Ravina said she has a list of words amazon is also flagging, could you attach that list Ravina? And Christmas Ideas, If you guys want to start a new thread where we can compile our ideas for books we could launch to capture the increased purchase volumes and gift giving over christmas, with strategies for doing that, that could be revenue generating. Love the A+ content you're doing Ravina! Very impressive. Excited to see what you do with your clients Kylie! Thanks for being so brave Carolina with all the testing you're doing! It really helps. Keep up the good work all! Travis
