message 1901: by Linda (new)

Linda Hubalek (lindahubalek) Hello! I have updated my ten historical fiction into ebooks on Amazon (and Nook) now and would appreciate help on tagging them. Marketing is different than when I first published the books a decade+ ago, but the ebook format will bring new readers and sales to them again.
Thanks! (From the Pioneer Writer that's trying to get into the new century...)

Took a little bit, but I tagged all of your books, Linda!
My book is at http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_nos...,
but if you are following Todd's tagging list, I am on there as well. Good luck with the conversion to e-book format!

Hi sana, u can go to todd's website and find out more abt tagging.
The gist is that by labeling or tagging your books appropriately, and helping others to tag theirs and they tag yours in return, you build a better online branding presence for your book.

So u can start by tagging all the authors above you using their link. And reminding them to do the same. :)

If you post your book's amazon link here, I will go tag yours, and you can help all of us. Cheers!

Todd Fonseca | 489 comments Hi Pat!,
To find a books rank, go to the appropriate customer community on Amazon. For example, click on a tag appropriate to your book. In my case, I clicked on "books for boys" in the tagging section of my book's amazon page. It will open the "books for boys" customer community. There is a tab listing products that have this tag. You can see from the link below, that my book is currently the top tagged book in this community:

Patricia Kirk Here's a good question. I have some excellent reviews from people I don't even know (don't have to give a good review to their friend). And I have some tags. What am I doing wrong? (I'm whispering this because I don't want anyone to know)Why doesn't it translate into sales?

Hi Pat! It is always challenging to find out what drives sales. Word of mouth is huge and also Amazon's "customer's also bought" help - but of course, sales drive the last one so it is sort of a catch 22.

Have you thought about putting your book on Kindle? The paperback price is a little at almost $15 for under 200 pages and that may keep some folks from buying. This is where having a kindle option will help.

Just some ideas - good luck!


message 1949: by Gale (new)

Gale Minchew (galeminchew) | 31 comments Yes, Todd, I agree with the Kindle option! Amazon has my book at full list price of 39.99 which is crazy...even though I told them it is less somewhere else (23.99). It is hardcover...so, I offer it in Kindle to offset the high price.

S.L. (stephanieldanielson) | 29 comments Hello! I have a new Kindle book out, my publisher (Silver) put it out there little over a week ago. I put tags...but have yet to see it hit the top 100.

Can anyone help? It is entitled "Life After Math".

Thank you!
