It's Good

I thought this book was going to be geared more toward how to get your book published and all of the steps that would entail. It's not. However, it is geared more toward gaining an understanding on the algorithms that Amazon uses in order to make the book sell better and stay ahead of the competition.

Learn how to boost book sales!

This book was a great listen as a fellow self-published author. It provides practical strategies and tips for how to sell more books. In particular I liked the explanation of low versus high content publishing and advise on going diversifying between multiple platforms and not just relying on Amazon. It is cool how it also talks about integrating AI into the process. Overall a great book for those who are want to try their hand at self-publishing their book instead of relying on a traditional publisher!

Good information, even if a bit dated

I enjoyed this audiobook as it’s always good to hear another publishers take on the business. Some of the information was spot on, and helped to reaffirm the process. I also thought a chapter or two might already be dated as far as KDP publishing goes.

The narrators performance was, at times, a rushed. I enjoyed his enthusiasm for the topic and the reading overall. Recommended for the content and information.

Lots of interesting info for Self-Publishers

I would recommend this Self-Publishing guide book for anyone who has already started their self-publishing journey, who already has a reasonable understanding of the marketplace and wants to improve and learn more.
There are lost of very valuable pieces of information and learnings, from someone who has obviously studied and immersed themselves in Self-Publishing. I found lots of new information I wasn't aware of, and the book (audiobook in my case) held my interest from start to finish, and I listened in one sitting.
Books of this type are usually all about opinions, and this is no exception, but there are strong arguments presented throughout.
If you are listening on audiobook (this might sound odd) I would recommend speeding up the audiobook slightly when listening, it helps to deliver the message more coherently, the narrator has a tendency to speak quite slowly.

Learned Some Things I Can Apply Immediately

I have been self-publishing for about 9 months now. I found a lot of what the author said in this book to be completely true in my own experience and also learned several new things I hadn't heard or thought of before. I found the information about the Amazon algorithm to be really valuable because that's not the way I learned it. Overall, I feel like this book will help me going forward to worry about the things that are really important and not stress too much about the things that aren't. I am one of those people that paid a lot of money for a course and have just realized in the last few months how outdated and incomplete some of the information is. This book and the author's other books are really all you need to get started.

Definitely Recommend!

As a first time self published author, I was soooo lost. This guide was truly a lifesaver for me. It clearly explained all the intricacies of the platform, from keyword research to algorithm hacks. I really appreciated the section on Amazon Ads -- I was wasting so much money. Passive income, here I come!
