August 17, 2022 @ 7:30 pm - 8:15 pm EDT
Free
How will your readers find you on Amazon? Learn best practices to stand out from the crowd in this informative free webinar!
About this event
Self-publishing on Amazon is easy. Getting your book to stand out from the crowd so people can find it and buy it is hard.
You can improve your book’s Amazon rank (which improves its visibility on the site and leads to increased sales) with the right keywords and categories.
Keywords are the words or phrases that people use when they’re searching for a book. Amazon lets you list seven keywords for each book. That means if you have a paperback and a Kindle version, you can list fourteen keywords.
Think of categories on Amazon like sections of a physical bookstore — but on steroids. A physical bookstore might have thousands of books and twenty to thirty sections. Amazon has millions of books and thousands of categories. You can put your book in up to ten categories on Amazon.
How do you find the best keywords and categories for your book?
Sign up to this free live session and learn how to this effectively and efficiently.

Please note:
The Valley of Writers team scours the web looking for the most inspiring, elevating, and accessible events that we can share as a service to our readers.
The big idea is that in a virtual arena, more people can participate. Geographical boundaries matter less.
The events we list are virtual and can be attended by writers from wherever they are in the world.
Unless otherwise stated, we are not affiliated with and do not benefit financially from the events we post. Listing is not an endorsement of the content, opinions, or products promoted by the event organizers we feature here.
Please verify all dates, times and other event details as these are subject to change and are beyond our control.
What qualifies an event as ‘lit’? Any event that we think would teach writers of fiction, memoir, and poetry useful skills, inspire them to produce great work, remind them of the power of this work we do and build stronger, mutually beneficial ties between writers and other creatives.
