Writer's Digest Competitions

Sometimes the best way to break out as a writer is to keep it short—as in short stories.

Writer's Digest University


Name




Today, Amazon sells nearly 50% of all print books and over 70% of all e-books in America. If you want to sell more books, and hit a bestseller list in the future, you must learn how to sell more books through Amazon.

It doesn’t matter if you’re self-published or traditionally-published. It doesn’t matter if you write fiction or non-fiction. It doesn’t matter if you’re a first-time author or an experienced veteran. Success for every author hinges upon selling more books on Amazon.

Mastering Amazon for Authors is the premiere online video course designed to help you increase book sales at the world’s largest retailer. This self-paced course provides in-depth instruction for authors at any level. Marketing expert, Rob Eagar, takes the guesswork out of promoting your books on Amazon and explains how to:
  • Convert more sales when readers view your book on Amazon
  • Secure more persuasive customer reviews for free
  • Get your books noticed on Amazon's huge website
  • Use Amazon's algorithms to get free marketing for your books
  • Build your author email list using Amazon's massive audience
  • Create advertising that drive readers directly to your books
Watch the videos and go behind the scenes into Amazon’s system. Discover how to increase your book sales, no matter your genre or experience level. In addition, Rob Eagar, will be available to answer your questions during the course to help you make progress.

Still on the fence? Sign up for a free, live preview webinar with Rob on October 29. Click here to learn more and register!


Here's How it Works:


On November 8, 2018, you will gain access to 11 video sessions that will guide you through selling books on Amazon from start to finish. You will also gain access to discussion boards, unique to each session, that will allow you to ask Rob questions and interact with your fellow students. As you work through the course discussion boards will remain live for your reference. When the course closes on December 14, 2018, access to post on the discussion boards will be removed, so be sure to ask questions before the course closes. You will have access to the videos and past discussions until January 14, 2019.

Here's one of the best parts: Get your Amazon questions answered by an expert. Students of this course can send questions directly to instructor, Rob Eagar.


Course Sessions:


SESSION 1: Master Your Book’s Amazon Detail Page
The way your book appears on Amazon’s website determines if people choose to buy a copy. If your book detail page is excellent, then you will sell more books. If your book detail page is lacking, you sales will suffer. This session explains seven elements of an effective book detail page, provides fiction and non-fiction examples you can follow, and describes how to convert more sales on Amazon.


SESSION 2: How to Get More Customer Reviews

SESSION 6: Amazon Sales Rankings Explained
Every author wants to reach #1 on Amazon. However, your book’s sales ranking doesn’t mean what most authors think. This session debunks common myths about Amazon sales rankings, explains how to identify your sales ranking, use the data properly, and estimate actual book sales.
