Amazon as a Promoting Instrument
Izvor: KiWi
I could produce amazon free delivery codes a whole ebook about Amazon.com and how to utilize it to generate income. There are such a lot of solutions, most are no cost therefore you ought to benefit from all of them. Several authors complain in regards to the proportion Amazon charges if they listing their textbooks available and make profits. They complain about the shipping costs and packaging specifications. I don't realize this. If it have been not for Amazon.com I'd not have as many product sales and buyers as I do. I am grateful that Amazon is there for me to make the most of and generate profits with. There is nothing else like it, seem at Barnes & Noble for example. They are not just a chain of guide stores but have an online presence just like Amazon. They don't have the audience, power or free of charge tools for authors that Amazon does and therefore are not as successful. In my opinion you are missing out if you don't make the most of all Amazon has to offer you as an creator.
You may be familiar with the Amazon emailing campaign that some authors have tried and say really works. I have not followed this campaign but thought it was interesting enough to mention. I heard from an author that after sending out an email to several people, his ranking went up considerably and his e book reached number one status on Amazon.com The email he sent out starts out by saying that he is doing an experiment and wants help in becoming an Amazon.com bestseller. It is almost like a chain letter asking the recipient to send the email on to 10 of their friends and family or more if possible and ask them to pass it on and on and on. The email then goes on to explain in regards to the e-book, and thank the reader.
Getting reviews on Amazon.
The easiest way to get reviews on Amazon or anywhere else is to ask for them. When my guides became available on Amazon. There were a few people that wrote reviews for them. I wanted more. I personally wrote to each of my customers that had purchased my textbooks and asked them if they would be interested in writing a review for my book on Amazon. I had a great response and made sure to send them a hand written thank you note in the mail after they posted their review. This goes a long way.
Giving reviews on Amazon.
Another way to get more traffic to your guides is to give reviews on Amazon for similar books or for your competition. People who glance at those publications will see your review and may click through to your guide or website. I review every guide I read, no matter what the topic. I know how much I appreciate getting a good review and so I try to do the same for others.
Amazon Advantage.
Amazon Advantage is a great way to get your ebook seen. Some people automatically go to Amazon once they are looking for a e-book, they may not necessarily search a search engine for a e-book topic they are interested in to find your website. This is a very good reason to have your e-book on Amazon. If your webpage is on the first page of a major search engine for your keywords, you might not be so interested in doing this but I might highly recommend listing your reserve with the Amazon advantage program. Another reason to checklist your guide with Amazon is that people trust Amazon, so they are more likely to input their credit card information and order your e book. They may not know who you are or fully trust you or your website so having this option will help boost sales. Also, Amazon will sell your book at different prices, they offer product sales or discounts but don't worry and you also still get the same amount of funds regardless. So for a bargain hunter Amazon is where they will go. You can offer autographed copies on your website which is something Amazon does not offer or even bundles of your guide with other authors' guides or special reports.
Another reason people visit Amazon for book purchases is that they can combine their purchases with other e book orders and get cost-free transport, your e-book could be included in that promotion. The best reason to sell through Amazon is that it gives you credibility when your e book is on Amazon as well as your website. Even if your website is the first one that comes up for your keywords, you can make several more product sales through Amazon.
Checklist mania.
Checklist mania is a great way to showcase a checklist of textbooks you like and why. You can network with other authors and both create lists that include each others guides to help promote each other. You can have as many lists as you like under as many topics as you like. This also lets your readers see that you are a real person, just like them and have opinions about different books and authors.
