In this webinar, C. S. Lakin looked at how to target genre for big sales.
All too often writers pen a great novel, but despite tremendous effort and utilizing top marketing strategies, their books languish in obscurity.
How can self-publishing authors get their books to top the best-seller and search results lists?
By using a two-fold strategy that focuses on finding a high-demand low-competition niche genre and then writing and designing novels to fit that genre perfectly.
This webinar will cover these four key points:
1. Understanding what genre is and how Amazon interprets your book’s genre
2. How to find a niche genre that has high demand but manageable competition
3. How to deconstruct books in your genre to know how to write to fit in and sell well
4. How to optimize your Amazon product page for discoverability.
Learning the strategies of these four key aspects of targeting genre will give writers the best chance at discoverability and big sales.
Don’t waste years trying to figure out the secret to discoverability.
