    I enjoy watching your new channel. I’d love to join your Early Readers Club. Just let me know where to sign up.
    I’d really love to see what you’ve found as your go-to method for getting reviews. What a struggle this has been, but I’m not giving up. Looking for effective, affordable and ethical ways to nail that side of KDP success!
    And now that Bookbeam has some great new keyword search tools (like Reverse ASIN), it would be great to see you walk thru that research process for finding magic on BB.
    Thanks and have a great November!

    On the “concentrate on getting 100-150 reviews”, I do not understand this idea. It is still up to customer to give a review….you cannot make them. Encourage, yes….you can put a call to action in your book, but inevitably it is still up to the customer to leave a review. How do you get those reviews??? Thank you for your time and information!

    • @theaipublisher

    Coloring books are very saturated market and finding a good idea for the next book is tough, and running adds for the coloring book can get very expensive. I have switched to eBooks easier to create and good ROI on the books.

  • @beusin
    @beusin Місяць тому +1

    You sound exactly like me. I was desperate to start a side business after losing my job. I've so far published 20 books and none are selling. I took the first ones as a learning curve, but now that I can make better books, I want to see my sales start. Sadly, I can't afford Helium, but have Publisher Rocket. One question, because I'm too broke to even consider running ads, are you doing any marketing?

    • @theaipublisher
      @theaipublisher  Місяць тому

      Yeah I do marketing. But have you tried getting reviews for any of your books? If theyre in good keywords, reviews should help some sales start coming in.

    • @beusin
      @beusin Місяць тому +1

      ​@@theaipublisher until I saw this video of yours, I never heard of getting reviews as a strategy. I know stuff like putting a QR code and asking for reviews at the front and back of the book. But my books haven't sold at all :'( and probably not on good keywords. As you say in another video, you wouldn't drop 20k in a biz unless you're sure you'll have success. I didn't want to get a software such as Publisher Rocket, unless I was sure that I would enjoy making books and build a habit of creating them... I'm now learning more about marketing and strategies. Subscribed to your channel and hope to learn more from you! Thank you!

    I don’t like this new AI generated book frenzy
    People used to write a book in couple of years based on amazing writing abilities and real life experiences. How can someone write 4 books per month. Based on what research? Just some keywords? That book has no valuable content. My brother wrote a book about AI he has been working on this book for almost 10 years being a professor at the university teaching it and doing tons of research. Can you please tell me who reads these books???

      Hi I publish low and medium content books. Basically, these are journals, coloring books, cute facts books. These books take little to no time to make and you can get one done in a day or two. It's actually pretty simple and I'm getting 4.5 average ratings on Amazon from real customers. So I don't know, you tell me :)
