Just finished third in series. 15:23:15 From Beth Barany : Click on someone’s name in the left side bar to send them a private message. 15:24:30 From Naomi Bellina : I love how you set time lines for yourself. 15:24:44 From DanWerkhoven : Timelines are the best. 15:24:50 From Allynn Riggs : I have enjoyed Colorado Promise. 15:24:55 From Beth Barany : I love timelines too! 15:28:04 From John6152 to Beth Barany (Privately) : Did she say bookbub? 15:28:17 From Beth Barany to John6152 (Privately) : yes she did 15:28:37 From John6152 to Beth Barany (Privately) : Thanks! 15:28:43 From Beth Barany to John6152 (Privately) : :) 15:29:34 From Carol H : I am taking Susanne's course right now. 15:30:07 From user : Carol, how are you enjoying it? 15:30:57 From DanWerkhoven : Thanks for sharing your story Susanne! :) 15:31:00 From DanWerkhoven : It’s really encouraging 15:31:10 From user : Do Short Stories sell? 15:32:05 From Beth Barany : User: You can use Susanne’s techniques to sell short stories. 15:32:09 From lhaliburton : I am taking your course Susanne, it is worth the time and effort, you're clear and methodical, so its a slow process. 15:32:41 From user : Thanks, Beth and lhaiburton! 15:33:03 From Beth Barany : You’re welcome, user!

The recording will be available in a day or two. 15:43:16 From DanWerkhoven : Makes a lot of sense. :) 15:43:38 From Wendy Jones : thank you Beth. i want to get the most out of it. it is very helpful 15:44:15 From Rae Williamson : I was talking about key words. 15:44:48 From Carol : Where do you enter the keyword phrases in Amazon? 15:44:49 From David Strom : I spent time trying to figure out a category, when I find one, how do I find it? I drill down to superhero, superheroine, but I would like to add comedy to that. Need keyword phrases? 15:45:31 From Beth Barany : Carol, in your KDP dashboard 15:46:12 From Beth Barany : David, I think your question can be solved by by examining the KDP dashboard. 15:46:51 From Beth Barany : David, test your keywords. Those are probably good ones. 15:51:25 From waltsocha : How to handle keywords for a specific novel versus keywords for the novel’s series? A novel may be smaller in scope…which the series is more general. Which is more important? 15:51:57 From user to Beth Barany (Privately) : Suanne and Beth (Wendy here), do either one of you teach a POV course of know of a good one? 15:52:11 From Beth Barany : Walt, Thanks! I’ll ask her! 15:52:37 From Beth Barany to user (Privately) : Wendy, Susanne and I are talking about teaching POV in the fall. We’ll keep you posted! 15:53:25 From user to Beth Barany (Privately) : Wonderful! I haven't yet found any author/teacher/coach who offers this. I want to nail down how to master this.

It resonates! 15:55:53 From Beth Barany : Wonderful, Jan! 15:55:58 From DanWerkhoven : Like musicians learn to play other songs before ever writing their own songs. 15:56:07 From Beth Barany : So true, Dan! 15:56:49 From hamaer : I was heading in the direction Susanne ta;ks about, but her explanations are an eye opener. 15:57:06 From Beth Barany : Great, Hans! 15:57:08 From Beth Barany : Cats :) 15:57:43 From waltsocha : Zombie cats in outer space…thanks for the idea! 15:57:51 From Beth Barany : Go for it, Walt! 15:58:25 From Naomi Bellina : I did a contest to name my scientist's cat. Got a great response! 15:58:39 From Beth Barany : Fun, Naomi! 15:58:53 From lhaliburton : Studying your work Intended for Harm inspires me to work harder at holding the busy worker's (who also enjoys reading) attention.

I write slow, and am concerned that I will miss a "trend". But you're right, fans will remain faithful to their niche. I wrote that down. 16:01:00 From Carol : Like B.J. with her Montana contemporary western. Such great formulaic books, but I adore them. 16:01:02 From Allynn Riggs : Have all three of these! 16:02:16 From Gabrielle : Under what name did you write time travel novels? 16:03:17 From waltsocha : Thanks! 16:03:27 From DanWerkhoven : That makes a lot of sense, thank you! :) 16:03:57 From Beth Barany : Great, Dan! 16:04:15 From Beth Barany : Gabrielle, I think you can determine that from her site livewritethrive.com. 16:04:26 From Beth Barany : You’re welcome, Walt! 16:04:42 From hamaer : Thanks Susanne and you Beth for this great late night webinar. At least here in Europe its\'s now after 01:00 :) 16:05:32 From Beth Barany : You’re so welcome, Hans! I’ll pass the word along, since she can’t see the chat :) 16:05:33 From Allynn Riggs : Where do I put the key words on my product page if they are not in the categories? 16:06:09 From Beth Barany : Allynn: In your KDPamazon.com dashboard for your particular book. 16:06:21 From Carol : It would help if there were time to actually give examples of how to use the keywords in KDP. I'm not sure how to do it and I can't get past the historical suspense romance in categories. 16:06:33 From Beth Barany : Allynn: In the KEYWORDS fields. 16:06:58 From Beth Barany : Carol: Keywords go into the KEYWORDS field. 16:11:06 From Michael, 43, UK : OMG: It practically tells you what to write!? 16:11:31 From Jake : From Jake Devlin. Clicking on one of the links in the ranking (whatever was before "Spies," for example) gets you to a page with all the covers and books in that sub-genre. 16:11:33 From Beth Barany : Michael: LOL, at least what people are searching for and what is popular. 16:11:48 From DanWerkhoven : Writing prompts: Close your eyes and stab a finger on the three lists. You have mood, character and theme ready to go! 16:12:04 From Beth Barany : Good one, Dan! 16:12:59 From Beth Barany : Cool, Jake! 16:13:31 From Naomi Bellina : Can you tell me when that "Refine By" screen pops up when posting your book on Amazon? 16:13:51 From Carol : I found Noir, but I discovered I'm not writing Noir, but Pulp-fiction. I can't find that category. 16:14:10 From user to Beth Barany (Privately) : How long is Susanne's course she's teaching right now? What is the title of the course and will it be offered again? 16:14:15 From Carol : I'll need to watch her webinar again. 16:14:30 From Judy : could you repeat what you said about what you did before release to work up the ranks? 16:15:32 From Naomi Bellina : Oh, okay, got in! I thought the Refine By screen was for authors. 16:15:37 From CKate : Will there be a recording of this so we can refer back and watch Laskin again? 16:15:38 From Jan : With all the writer services out there, does anyone offer help in the area of keywords? It seems so pivitol to success. I'd pay for the help. 16:15:57 From Carol : What I found was Mystery, Thriller & suspense--Crime Fiction--Murder--Action-packed--fun--romantic--police officers--urban. Are these keywords set in stone? 16:16:51 From Carol : There are only 2 books in this classification. 16:17:05 From Carol : And they are not historical. 16:17:25 From CKate : Thank you for the replay option! 16:17:27 From David Strom : can you give examples of key word phrases you used? 16:17:50 From Jan : Yes, please 16:18:23 From Paul : time's up for me. Thanks Susanne and Beth for a good introduction to this subject. Hate to leave, but I must. 16:18:30 From Beth Barany : Carol, nothing is set in stone. You can change it up whenever you want. 16:18:42 From Beth Barany : Bye, Paul! Thanks for coming! 16:19:29 From Naomi Bellina : A gaggle. Yes! 16:19:51 From Rae Williamson : Would a personal note go better in the front or the back of the book? 16:19:58 From Beth Barany : David and Jan, Susanne’s keywords won’t be yours. :) 16:20:16 From Beth Barany : Rae, you could test that! See what happens! 16:20:47 From DanWerkhoven : Note front and back! “Thanks for opening…” “Thanks for finishing!” 16:21:31 From Naomi Bellina : When ghostwriting, I wrote for a client in a totally different genre than I'd ever done.

I've noticed a lot of great programs/courses coming out at the ends of months. Those of us who survive on disability, SS, maintenance/child support get "paid" only on the first day of the month and we are short on cash at the end of the month. :'-(( Especially THIS month being tax month. 16:25:44 From ROBERT : Will the slides be available, too? Please? 16:26:41 From user to Beth Barany (Privately) : Love your kitty, Beth! 16:27:06 From David Strom : a whole bunch of ducks 16:27:08 From DanWerkhoven : "skein, string, or team" 16:27:12 From DanWerkhoven : Go google! 16:27:27 From DanWerkhoven : “A group of waterfowl flying (including ducks, geese, coots, etc) can be called a skein, string, or team. A group of waterfowl in the water can be called a bunch, paddling, or raft. A group of any waterfowl can be called a plump.” 16:27:28 From Carol : Ducks are also a flock. 16:27:46 From Jake : A "vanity" of socialites? 16:27:49 From David Strom : examples of keyword phrases 16:27:51 From Naomi Bellina : a raft or bunch or paddling of ducks on water a safe of ducks on land 16:27:59 From Carol : The books must be listed on KDP for this to work, right? 16:28:03 From Gabrielle : I love love love your blog post Susanne! 16:28:44 From Beth Barany : Penny Sansevieri: authormarketingexpert.com 16:28:49 From RyanR : Can you write in multiple genres? (For example, most of my story ideas are horror or urban fantasy, but I'm really enjoying the high fantasy trilogy I'm writing now. I think my niche genre will be related to horror or urban fantasy, but I don't want to abandon high fantasy...) 16:28:59 From Jan : Thanks! 16:29:03 From Jon : Thank you Susanne and Beth! This was very informative. 16:29:07 From Carol : http://www.amarketingexpert.com/penny-sansevieri/ 16:29:34 From David Strom : I have to look at superhero/superheroine action adventure comedy. better keyword phrase. 16:30:30 From lhaliburton : How many pseudonyms do you have Susanne and do you use them to fit the genre? How do you come up with them? 16:30:36 From Jerry : When the recording comes out, can we share it with another author who was not able to be here today? 16:30:39 From Carol : Do you need a website for all thes different genres you write in? 16:30:42 From Gabrielle : Doesn't using different pseudonyms make it very difficult to brand yourself? 16:30:50 From RyanR : Okay, thank you! 16:30:52 From CKate : When setting up my short story on Amazon, the agreement said I could write in only one name? 16:31:05 From Jan : But your experience shows that developing a website for these multiple personalities is unimportant. 16:31:06 From Francesca to Beth Barany (Privately) : what is that site for marketing? 16:31:36 From CKate : Is that true one name? Because I wouldn't want to write say, erotica, next to kids books. 16:31:42 From Beth Barany : CKate, I don’t think so. Lots of authors write under multiple names. 16:32:01 From David Strom : if you write erotica, and you write other stuff, you use a pen name. 16:32:08 From Beth Barany to Francesca (Privately) : It’s in the chat. Click SAVE CHAT to grab it right away. The chat will be in the replay. 16:32:20 From Jake : Jake Devlin. I saw somewhere on Amazon that they allow a max of three names. 16:32:45 From CKate : Thanks Beth for the clarification. It confused me because ?I know people who write under many genres, like you ladies. 16:33:08 From Lisa : thank you both 16:33:08 From JillNelson : Susanne and Beth, thank you so much for the invite to this webinar.
