Did you know? Amazon
currently sells almost 50% of all print books and over 70% of all e-books in
America. Their dominance over the publishing industry is invincible.
Therefore, if you want to sell more books, you must learn how to get your
book noticed on Amazon’s huge website. Yes, it really is that important.
What if I told you a secret to getting your book noticed on Amazon can be learned by observing billboards that you see on the side of the road? For example, whenever you drive down the highway, you see billboards promoting local restaurants, hotels, and retail shops. If billboards didn't exist, thousands of people would never know certain products or services were available. Countless businesses rely on billboards to help increase awareness and drive sales. But, what makes a billboard an effective marketing tool?
As an author, you
have a billboard that people see every day. Your billboard is located on
Amazon’s website, which is the largest book-buying audience on the Internet
super-highway. Amazon receives millions of visitors every hour and offers two
kinds of "billboards" for authors to use:
1. Amazon ads for books 2. Book detail page Amazon ads act like billboards that grab people's attention as they rapidly scan search results on Amazon's website or specific product pages. A good ad can convince someone to pull over and check out your book. Then, that brings them to your second billboard, which your Book Detail Page. Every book on Amazon has a detail page that acts like a big sign advertising all of the highlights, including the cover art, marketing hook, book description, price, customer reviews, etc. This detailed "billboard" can persuade people to stop driving around, read a sample chapter, and click the "Buy Now" button to make a purchase. However, in order for your Amazon "billboards" to get your book noticed by shoppers, they must display the same characteristics as a physical billboard next to the highway:
When you create
effective billboards on Amazon, you have the ability to steer thousands of
readers directly to your books and persuade them to purchase.
In fact, people are "driving by" your books on Amazon right now. That’s an unnerving thought, right? Are you giving them a reason to pull over and make a stop? What if your “billboards” are boring and causing you to lose sales? At this point, you might be thinking:

Children's Picture
Books are one of the most difficult categories to write. It takes a tremendous
amount of practice and an understanding of the contemporary market to break
into the publishing industry as a picture book author. Writing a complete
story-with a full narrative arc-in under 1000 words can be a daunting task.
But we know from the number of cherished picture books on readers'
bookshelves that it is possible. What can you learn from bestselling picture
books? What picture book writing strategies can you implement to better your
story? How can you effectively pitch your picture book manuscript to literary
agents?
The Picture Book Puzzle: Writing, Revising, and Querying Your Picture Book Manuscript covers all these topics, providing you with information that will help take you from concept to first draft, and from final manuscript to pitching. This live webinar includes a live presentation, a Q&A session, a critique of your children's picture book manuscript, and downloadable worksheets that will help you write, revise, and pitch your picture book long after the webinar is over. |
