The Complete Lost in Amazon Series (so far)
I call these things Index Posts. They assemble posts in a series making them easy to find. Think of this post as a Table of Contents where each post in the series is a chapter.
The images and headlines are both live links.
As I write installments, I'll add links here.
Lost in Amazon #1: Yes and No, Deb, or How To Start
done, or as done as any piece of software can ever be, I'm turning my growth-hacking eye towards Amazon.
Google and YouTube are the world's largest search engines. Amazon is a buying engine. People don't go there to research. They go credit card in hand to buy something.
Yet, only 100,000 sellers sold more than U$100,000 worth of stuff.
That might sound like a lot. It isn't.
No wonder Amazon is named after the world's biggest, baddest jungle. . .baddest jungle. . .
Lost In Amazon 2: Why Is Just As Important As How
I started this series because I was curious. I wanted to see if we could put our collective heads together to crack the "Amazon Code."
It started with a simple question, "Can a reasonably good writer make a reasonable living selling books on Amazon?" Like many simple questions, it's only simple on the surface. . .
Lost in Amazon 2.5: How to Set The "Right" Price
Not everyone wants to maximize royalties. For many, royalties are just the tip of the iceberg.
Maybe you have a combination of goals. Yes, there are more variables at play than just royalties.
If maximizing royalties is your goal, take a hint from The World of Tournament Poker. There's a truism that says, "Check your balls, with your coat, at the door." That means to leave emotion out of the equation. . .
Lost in Amazon 3: How to Open the Floodgates to the First Draft
I don't know why people have trouble with it.
In the past week or so, I have had no less than 23 emails, private messages, and SMS' asking about this. People want to know the "secret sauce" in getting a book, post, or any written piece done.
Wow.
I really don't know why people have trouble with it. . .
Lost in Amazon 4: How to Build Your Launch Village
You need help. You need people behind you. You need a boost. You need several boosts.
Some people might call it a launch team. Some might call it a support system. I'll call it a Village because Trent Selbrede made me think of the famous saying, "It takes a village. . . ," in a comment on another installment in this series.
Make no mistake, launching a book is a group effort. It really does take a Village. . .
Lost in Amazon 5: How to NOT Look Like Crap
It seems I scared a few people with a comment I wrote on a Stephan Metral buzz.
I wrote about the problems I was having getting an eBook to actually look like a book.
This installment reviews the methods I used to create the files that make up an eBook. I'll go over which methods worked and which didn't work well enough to bother with going forward.
I'll go over the pros and cons of each method.
I'll also include an estimate of what you should expect to pay to have someone do it for you, or an estimated cost in software and time if you choose the DIY route.
Lost in Amazon 5.5: WTF is a Well Set-Up Word File
I started getting private messages on both beBee and LinkedIn within minutes of publishing, “Lost in Amazon 5: How to NOT Look Like Crap.”
I wrote about the importance of a well set-up Word document. The better the initial source the easier the conversion process.
People wanted to know what exactly, a “well set-up” source document was.
This post’s title is taken verbatim from one such request.
I'll explain with Kindle Textbook Creator in mind.
I’ll go over the “why” then I’ll list the “how” step-by-step. This will be a long post. . .
Let's Rumble in the Amazon Jungle!
