You are listening to the audio version of this post: Easy Exercise to Catapult Your Book Marketing.

In this podcast episode, I teach an easy lesson in identifying categories for the book you have written, plan to write, or are considering writing. The lesson focuses on Amazon as a free research tool to help you decide where YOUR book belongs by category. It’s valuable information that will catapult your book marketing.

The next step is a deep dive into the keywords and categories on Amazon. As a published author with a book on Amazon, you or your publisher will attach categories and keywords to your book to give it the best chance to be seen and sold by your book buying audience.

The best software tool that I have found to help authors learn about categories and keywords and how to choose them for their book (books!) is Publisher Rocket by the Dave Chesson. Dave is the Owner of Kindlepreneur. I’ve interviewed him a couple of times and benefited from the amazing, free information he shares on his website, the Kindlepreneur, for authors. I purchased Publisher Rocket for the marketing of my latest book, Get Your Book Seen and Sold, and I still use it to help me compete with my Amazon Ads. The purchase of the software is a life-time use purchase. Dave has a special on publisher rocket right now. If you buy through the link (I am an affiliate) you get the software plus seven additional video courses including a course on picking categories and keywords for just $199. It is well worth the money and good use of your book marketing budget.
