Do you want your book to be seen by more people on Amazon?<\/p>\n

Improve its Amazon searchability.<\/p>\n

That involves showing up near the top of the Amazon search results when people are looking for a book like yours .<\/p>\n

Amy Collins of\u00a0New Shelves<\/a>\u00a0has a great strategy for making sure your book shows up at the top of Amazon search results for your topic or title.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how it works: Amazon\u2019s search function is actually\u00a0a powerful search engine. When people are looking for a book on a topic or genre, they use the\u00a0Amazon search box the same way they use Google: They type in keywords or key phrases related to the book\u2019s subject, the exact title, the author\u2019s name, or maybe the genre.<\/p>\n

\"Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n

Amazon figures out what to show them in the same way that Google does. Both search engines rely on users to help them determine which search results are the most relevant. And that’s what you want to do with Amy’s tip — you want to help Amazon learn that your book is relevant to the right search terms.<\/p>\n

Here’s\u00a0how to do that.<\/p>\n

1. Ask a few friends\u00a0to\u00a0type in relevant keywords and your book title, then click on your book in the search results.<\/h3>\n

Provide them with the keywords you selected for your book when you set it up on Amazon so they know what to use.<\/p>\n

2. Ask them\u00a0to type in your book title plus a relevant best-seller.<\/h3>\n

Give them the best-seller title. Better yet, give them two or three best-seller titles and ask them to repeat the process with all best-seller titles.<\/p>\n

3. Ask them\u00a0to type in your book title plus its genre or category.<\/h3>\n

Again, give them the genre or category.<\/p>\n

It will take somebody five minutes to do all of this for you. Not much to ask, is it?<\/p>\n

Doing this now and again will help increase your book’s searchability on this powerful book selling site.<\/p>\n

Tip of the Month<\/h3>\n

\"Amazon<\/a>I always share\u00a0a \u201cTip of the Month,\u201d a free resource or tool for authors, on the last\u00a0Wednesday of the month.<\/p>\n

This month it\u2019s\u00a0PicMonkey<\/a>, a free online image editor. I use it to resize my blog images purchased from Adobe Stock. The image files they provide are so large that if I don\u2019t resize them, the image doesn\u2019t look right and the page takes longer to load.<\/p>\n

PicMonkey lets me easily reduce the file size before uploading the image to this blog.<\/p>\n

The site also lets you add filters, frames, effects, and text to your images, too. Learn more at\u00a0PicMonkey.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
