October 27, 2019SEO With Dave Chesson and the most Awesome SEO Blueprint Ever Conceived in Broad Daylight!
Zbooks SEO Podcast Interview with Dave Chesson,
In this podcast+post we cover:
The SEO Blueprint for Authors

Finding and Targeting Keywords

Keyword Tools

Amazon Associates

Website Monitoring and Metrics

The Future of Ebooks

Disappearing Camels!
"I may not be a best author, but I am a best selling author."-- Dave Chesson, Kindlepreneur click to tweet!http://ctt.ec/0Gn_f
Last week I had the excellent opportunity to interview a non-fiction AND SEO master, the one and only Dave Chesson of Kindlepreneur.com! If you are not familiar with SEO, it's "Search Engine Optimization", and it's the difference between a "Disappearing Camel" or a "Steady Stream". ???What???
You see most authors don't want to bother with a complicated website, they just want to publish in Amazon and let Amazon "do the rest".
BIG mistake!
The Question is: Do you want a disappearing camel, or a steady stream?
Your author website is your hub, everything you do in cyberspace should point back to your website.
And when you get your SEO right, it will supply a steady stream of sales, instead of the "disappearing Camels" you get when you launch a book in Amazon or do an occasional promotion.
SEO is NOT easy, but if you ask me, I LOVE this technique as compared to "just" publishing in Amazon. And it can make a non-profitable book in Amazon, profitable on your blog!

Listen to Dave's valuable and surprisingly awesome information in the podcast, for example how he uses Amazon Associate links to research who his target readers REALLY are, and when you are done, check out The Most Awesome SEO Infographic Ever Conceived in Broad Daylight! Brought to you by Dave and myself.

It's hyperlinked to all the goodies so click around to your heart's content -and yes- some of those are my affiliate links, so if you like what I have made, and it adds value to your process, please use them!
This is the most awesome SEO BLUEPRINT FOR AUTHORS and at the same time the most effective compilation of the best resources and links to take you step by step from SEO Noob to SEO MEISTER and make your books PROFITABLE!

September 13, 2019The SEO Author [Part 2] one of the most SUCCESSFUL methods to ACE AMAZON and your book SALES! With@ErocZ of Zbooks.co
How the **F** do they do it?
Back-ends, SEO, WTF is that?!
Some authors just seem to EFFORTLESSLY make TONS of money on Amazon!
"SEEM" is the keyword here.
There is A LOT of effort going in to these sales.
What you don't see is all of the work they are doing on their websites/blogs.
THE SEO AUTHOR use his blog or website to supply a constant stream of traffic to his book.
The book can be anywhere: iTunes, Amazon, B&N, Kobo, you name it.
It doesn't matter where your book is, when you have a website that is ranking high in the "SERP's" i.e. Google, you can funnel those viewers anywhere you want -- you can even sell your books ON YOUR BLOG directly!
This is probably the most overlooked, and YET THE MOST POWERFUL method of all!
Especially if you are publishing super niche books that just can't make it on Amazon--Then forget Amazon and sell them on YOUR own blog!
