*We covered Part 1, The Bestseller Book Pre-Launch here.

**We covered, Part 2, The Bestseller Book Launch here.

Now we are going to cover what to do after the book launch and after your book is on Amazon’s Bestseller list.

As I have repeatedly said throughout my blog posts on this topic…until you get your book on the Amazon Bestsellers list, you are invisible to Amazon.

How do I know that?  I published a book in 2011 and a year later I had zero sales.

After I figured out the Amazon Algorithm, I launched another book in 2012 and had 2,128 downloads in 1 day!  I was on several bestsellers list and Amazon started promoting my book on other lists such as:

• Top Rated list;
• Movers and Shakers list;
• Most Wished for list;
• Recommendations list;
• New for You list;
• Hot New Releases list;
• Frequently Bought Together list;
• Customers Who Bought This Item, Also Bought this…list;
• Best Sellers of 2015 list;
• AND MORE!

Also, please note that the bestsellers lists on Amazon, are the most searched lists on Amazon.  So you want your book on them! *Note:  There are over 11,000 bestsellers lists.  I reviewed this in parts 1 and 2 of this 3 part blog series.

How to Launch a Bestselling Book on Amazon! (Part 2 of 3:  The Launch)

**This is a continuation of my blog post, “Best Seller Launch Formula (Part 1: The Pre-Launch)….

This post is about the “actual” Launch on Amazon to get to the Best Sellers list.

First, it’s important that you understand a few things about Amazon before I get into the strategy of doing a book launch.

• Amazon updates their bestsellers lists hourly;
• Doing a massive launch in a 1 or 2 day period with a high volume of downloads is what will get you on a bestsellers list;
• There are over 11,000 categories on Amazon (categories are the most important part of a book launch, see my previous post which covers this);
• There are 11,000+ bestsellers list on Amazon, based on those 11,000 categories (and sub-categories);
• If you have your book in the right category you have increased your chances of getting on a best sellers list substantially.

An Amazon Book launch is something I’ve been doing for almost 3 years now with 100% success and I’ve got it down to a science.  I 100% guarantee to get my clients book to the #1 Amazon Best Sellers list!

Clients that are in my Amazon Best Seller program get a copy of my  “Launch Sequence Overview” and my “Client Day Preparation Book Launch” which outlines every detail of doing a book launch and the strategies I use.

Here is a shortened version of the Launch Sequence:

How to Launch a Bestselling Book on Amazon! (Part 1 of 3)

Ever since I launched my book, Never Work Again:  6 Secrets to Earning a Play-check Instead of a Pay-check to the #1 spot on Amazon on October 23, 2012 and had 2,128 downloads in 1 day…people have been asking me to help them with their books.

Aspiring authors want to know what it takes to stack the cards in their favor so they too can have a #1 book on the Amazon bestsellers list.

I have a private coaching program that I run at www.bestsellingauthorprogram.com where I do these book launches for my clients and also teach them how to do it themselves.

I’ve now helped over 2 dozen authors get their books to the #1 Amazon Best Sellers list!  You can take a look at some of my “Authors” by visiting my Graduates page.

The students in my program know that there are 3 phases to a book launch:

1. The Pre-Launch
2. The Launch
3. The Post-Launch

To have a successful book launch and to get your book to #1 on Amazon, you really need to Read More…

How to Launch a Book and Become an Amazon Best Selling Author!

Did you know that if your book makes it to one of the 11,000+ Amazon Best Seller lists, that Amazon will start promoting your book? (more about “how” later)

Did you also know that the “Best Sellers” lists on Amazon are the most highly searched lists on Amazon?

Hold tight because you’re about to learn a lot about “what you didn’t know” that  “you didn’t know” about Amazon.

Amazon has an algorithm (just like Google does) which is a hidden criteria of data that they collect on each book which helps them decide where to place a book in the search results.

So the Amazon algorithm is a big part of becoming an Amazon Best Selling Author.

Unfortunately (just like Google), Amazon is not going to tell you what this hidden criteria is.  You basically have to figure it out on your own!

Since 2013, I’ve been researching and collecting my own data and experimenting with the Amazon Algorithm and have had 100% success in getting my clients books to the Amazon Best Seller’s list.  You can read my story here of how I published my first book on Amazon in 2011 and after 1 year Read More…

How to become an Amazon #1 Best Selling Author in the shortest amount of time…

For 17 years I worked as a paralegal and legal secretary in litigation.  One of my jobs was drafting pleadings for lawsuits.  In other words, “building a case“.  I loved this part of my job because it was really about doing research and putting all the evidence together that would win a case for our clients.

Well, that’s exactly what I did when it came to learning how to become a #1 Amazon Best Selling Author!

I did a year of research, gathered my findings and created a step-by-step strategy, published a book using my research, and subsequently got my book to the #1 Amazon Best Sellers list on October 23, 2012 with 2,128 downloads in 1 day!

Since then, I’ve been fine-tuning and perfecting my system every day!  I now work with a select group of authors in my Amazon Best Sellers program getting their books to the #1 Best Sellers list and coaching them on how to leverage their best selling book.  *You can apply for a strategy session with me by clicking here if you’d like to speak with me about getting your book on the #1 Amazon Best Sellers list!

The first thing you need to understand is that the Amazon Best Sellers lists are updated hourly.  So your books ranking can change based on the updates.

The #1 Reason Why Your Book Isn’t Selling Is Because You Are INVISIBLE To Amazon!

Advantages and Disadvantages of Self Publishing in 2015

I believe that every entrepreneur should self-publish a book, because self-publishing is the new business card.

Let’s be honest, in a digital world full of content, you need to stand out by emphasizing your “expertise” and what better way to do that than with a book.

Blogging is great, but having a book is taking your expertise status to the next level!

Here’s what some of the BIG names are doing and saying about self-publishing:

• Robert Kiyosak, Brendon Burchard and Russell Bruson are all GIVING AWAY their books and building massive email lists in the process.  If you’ve heard the saying “the money is in the list” then you understand the method to their madness.
• Amanda Hocking who made over $1 million dollars self-publishing her paranormal ebooks on Amazon BEFORE she got the book deal of her dreams with St. Martins Press who gave her a $2 million dollar advance (she went the back-door way and it worked!).
• Perry Marshall, author of numerous books on sales and marketing says that he increased his consulting fees by 500% when he published and promoted his book!
• Rob Kosberg brought in $2 million dollars in consulting fees for his mortgage and real estate business when he self-published his book, Life After Debt.

So you want to know how to make money publishing on Kindle?

That’s great…

Because that means you have a desire to create passive income and that’s a good thing!

These days it’s risky to rely on one source of income (especially income that depends on you showing up) because no one has job security and if you lose your job you could potentially lose everything.  So it’s smart to start thinking about ways you can create passive income for yourself.

I always tell my students there are 100,000 ways to make $100,000 dollars and you  need to find the way that works best for you.

I believe that everyone (including you) is an expert at something and everyone has a book inside of them.  Even if you don’t like writing you can easily hire a freelance writer on a site like elance.com to write the book for you — so don’t let that stop you.

Making money on Kindle is a low-risk, low-cost, and low-barrier to entry way to start creating some passive income for yourself and it’s my #1 choice for Read More…
