"Evil does not sleep.
It waits."
- Hippolyta
The same is true for another Amazon ...
The One in whose ranks
we all want to stand out.
There are Keywords that will draw attention
like SEX
But it may not result in SALES
The above image represents
poorly your novel
of two shy retired teachers
finding love unexpectedly.
We must narrow the focus of
our keywords
from broad to narrow
to catch the eye
of the reader who is
searching for something
different than bare chests
and heaving bosums.
SO HOW TO PLUG INTO
THOSE READERS'
INTERESTS?
ABOUT YOUR NOVEL
What is the time period?
What stands out about its setting?
What are its interesting
character types or roles?
What themes or events
interweave in your novel?
From whose perspective is it told?
Is it a children's fantasy?
What is your novel's style and tone?
Remember:
Some Keywords will draw attention
but few sales
Others will draw less looks
but result in more sales.
a great story she loves,
she will return again and again
for more of your books.
Keep an eye out for my new book.
Coming Soon.
Nothing can bring so much death
as a debt unpaid ...
especially for spies.
Love your new book cover!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much, Deniz. Try the link in the sidebar to read a bit of the free sample. No begging for you to buy ... well, maybe a little. :-)
DeleteGreat cover!
ReplyDeleteGood list of questions to ask when considering key words.
I used those questions myself when publishing NIGHT SEASONS. Would you consider checking out the link in the sidebar? Hey, as Midnight keeps telling me: you don't ask, you don't get. :-)
DeleteKeywords are so important and even more so key phrases. I love my Publisher Rocket - it finds the best ones.
ReplyDeletePublisher Rocket is a fine tool. I am an author mechanic that likes to give my book a hands on treatment. And Hurricanes Laura and Delta have left me cash poor! OUCH!:-)
DeleteLoved your post :)
ReplyDeleteKeywords are indeed important. Publisher Rocket is a great app for that, and I have a subscription--just in case you're looking for keywords, I can help search for some!
Damyanti, that is such a gracious offer. I sent you my latest NIGHT SEASONS in hopes you can find possible keywords from the book's description. Your comment made my evening ... though Covid kept me away from my blog for 2 days!
