In Episode 85 of The Indy Author Podcast, I interviewed Dave Chesson of Kindlepreneur and creator of Publisher Rocket about keywords, and after that episode I got pretty obsessed about my own keywords, and played around a bit with Dave's four-column method. Of course, the devil's in the details, so as I was working on optimizing my keywords, I decided to tap into a couple of additional resources, including two previous guests of the podcast, and I'm going to share with you my "before" keywords, the process I went through, and my "after" keywords. I hope this will inspire you to take a look at your own keywords with an eye to making sure you are getting maximum value in guiding the right readers to your books.

Many thanks to previous guests Dale L. Roberts and Joshua Tallent for contributing to this inbetweenisode.
