Self-Publishing the Write Way–How to Publish on Amazon and Rank Well by Jennifer Haskin

Be a successful author! You’ve written a magnum opus in the form of your first book. Now what?

Are you overwhelmed with all the advice and resources out there on self-publishing? Publishing can be very scary when you don’t know what you need to know. Even if you only write because you have a burning passion to create, once you publish a book, you want people to read it. To get readers, you must get sales. So even if it isn’t about the money, you need to sell to be seen. And this book will tell you how to rank the best you can and why that’s important. *This text includes the new changes Amazon KDP made in June 2023. It is the most updated version you will find right now.

Let’s go back to the question, now what? If you’ve just finished your book, you need other eyes on your work as beta readers–don’t pay for an editor with your first draft. Save that for when you think you’ve caught all the mistakes. They will find more. Trust me.

For publishing, you have three options: Large publishers (The Top 5), large publisher imprints (these are middle-sized publishers), small publishers, and independent- or self-publishers. If you choose a large publisher or imprint, you will need an agent (I have more on this in my blog). They require a GREAT book, edited to be ready to publish. If you choose a small publisher, you do not need an agent. They won’t get you “a better deal” with the small publisher (my blog talks about this, too). You still write a query, but you take it directly to the small publisher rather than an agent. Small publishers will often take manuscripts “with potential.”

If you want to self-publish, you need this book. It is the secret you’ve been looking for that will show you the 20% effort that gets 80% results–because no one clicks on a book they don’t see. This is not a get-rich-quick scheme. It is for authors who want to stay relevant to Amazon’s algorithms and continue to sell books over time.

The things you will do are common enough that you may have heard about them before but not known exactly what to do or how to make them work for you. Have you heard about keywords and categories? You already know that your cover and title are important, but how do you know what you’re looking for? How do you write a captivating description? How do you format a paperback? Where do I go online to get help? Where are my marketing options? (The next book in this series will be over launching and marketing.) How do I get a clickable Table of Contents? Do I need a subtitle?

If you’re just getting started or if you’ve published without the success you want, learn what to do and why in the first half of this book, then see the screenshots for each step in the process from getting the ebook and paperback formatted, to uploading them and publishing or beginning the preorder phase. Read each topic; don’t skip steps. (There are checklists in the back of the book)

The first step is to have a really good book. Bad reviews will tank your book, and no marketing can fix it. If that’s your problem, re-write or -edit, get some new opinions, then upload your new copy following these instructions and watch your new edition to see if it takes off! If you are doing that and you have a cover or description that already works well for you, you can keep it, but I can’t guarantee this will work if it goes against what I’ve taught. I’d love to know if my system works for you!

Essentially, you could pay thousands for a course with this information. Attendees to my class pay nearly $600 for what’s in this book, but I find I share it so often that it is something wider needed. Read it, give it a chance, do every step, commit yourself, and do your best. ★One-click now to be published in as little as 30 days!
