🔍 Did You Research Before Writing?
Your Topic Can Make or Break Your Book’s Success 📚 A great book on the 𝘄𝗿𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼𝗽𝗶𝗰 can still struggle to sell. I’ve worked in SEO for over 14 years, and one thing I know is this: demand matters. If you choose a topic people are already searching for—especially one that solves a clear problem—you give your book a much better chance of getting found and generating organic sales. That’s exactly how I approach my own self-help nonfiction books. 𝗜’𝗺 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: “What do I want to write about?” 𝗜’𝗺 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴: “What are people already looking for?” For Amazon research, one of the best tools I’ve found for beginners is Publisher Rocket. It can help you identify keyword demand, competition, and potential opportunities before you commit to a topic. I cover this process in much more detail inside my Publishing Playbooks, including how to think about topic selection, evergreen demand, positioning, and keyword research. 🔥 The Publishing Playbooks are currently on sale for just $15 through the end of the month. After that, they go back to $27. 𝗟𝗘𝗔𝗥𝗡 𝗠𝗢𝗥𝗘 𝗔𝗕𝗢𝗨𝗧 𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗣𝗨𝗕𝗟𝗜𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗡𝗚 𝗣𝗟𝗔𝗬𝗕𝗢𝗢𝗞𝗦 If you’ve been on the fence, this is a great time to grab them. You’re getting a ton of publishing strategy for one low price. Don’t just write a book and hope people want it. Start by finding what people are already looking for.

@Brian Kellogg I see you. I have often found research for a novel taking me down multiple rabbit holes...probably a residual effect of doing academic research for too many years, LOL🫤

OK, here goes: 1️⃣ I want to publish a book because I enjoy writing. Much of my past involved writing in academia and technology, but I consider myself a storyteller...and I have stories to tell! 2️⃣I want the first book in my series published by October 1st. 3️⃣When this book is published the door it opens for me is ...to be comfortable in repeating the process for my interests in history, architecture, and music. High on my wish list is to be able to financially support humanitarian aid projects that I am no longer able to support in-person/physically.

@Lara Knutzen I have seen your profile and audiobook focus. By the end of this year, I hope we are chatting about audiobooks and translations for a historical fiction novel. Why not jump into the deep end of the publishing pool, right? 😉

I finally did it! 📚✨ After writing so many ebooks, guides, and digital resources over the years, I decided it was time to take my writing a little more seriously and officially publish a book. And now I can finally say it… I’m a published author! 🎉 A huge thank you to everyone in this community who has answered questions, shared resources, given feedback, and helped me along the way. I truly appreciate it. 💜 Sometimes you just have to stop sitting on the idea and actually put it out into the world. Thanks @Krista Brea

More Than Just Publishing
I recently had the opportunity to be a 𝗴𝘂𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝗼𝗻 𝗮 𝗽𝗼𝗱𝗰𝗮𝘀𝘁, and it reminded me of something I want every author in this community to understand: your book can create opportunities that go far 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝗔𝗺𝗮𝘇𝗼𝗻 𝗿𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀. When I first started publishing, I was 𝗳𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝗻 𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸𝘀. But over time, publishing has also helped me build authority, grow an audience, teach other authors, create a community, and now get invited into conversations like this. This is why I encourage you to think about your book as 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗮 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁. 👉 Your book can be your introduction. 👉 Your credibility. 👉 Your conversation starter. And sometimes, 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝘁 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗿𝗼𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝘀 you weren’t previously reaching. I wanted to thank @Robert Redden for inviting me to be on his podcast Walking With The Reddens. I am not able to be on every podcast I get invited to, but Rob has been an active member of this community and he is always spreading positivity. 🙌 I’ll share the podcast below if you’d like to listen. But my challenge for you is this: 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂?

𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁𝘂𝗻𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝗟𝗢𝗩𝗘 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗯𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗻 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘆𝗼𝘂? This is a great question and one that I haven't dwelt upon yet...'doesn't mean that @Krista Brea hasn't planted seeds to look beyond authoring, publishing, and selling.😉 My wife is an avid fabric artist, quilter, embroiderer, and all things thread 🙂 She will be celebrating a milestone birthday on a "Cruise for Quilters" (If I promise to behave, I might get to tag along...no pun intended). BUT>>> Why not an "Author to Publisher Workshop" cruise? Sure, there are some WiFi-at-sea challenges, but wouldn't that be fun??
