Today, I would like to share some of the writing and creative resources that have helped me the most. When I first started writing, I didn’t know where to go to figure out all the details of becoming a writer. There were so many more resources needed than I had anticipated.
I had to figure out how to design covers, write the book, how to run AMS ads or Facebook ads and much more. That is why I wanted to share at least a few of my favorite resources that I use for writing and other creative endeavors.
PUBLISHER ROCKET
Have you ever wondered what keywords would perform best for your book?
Or what categories you should use for your book?
Or how much your competitors are making with their book?
If so, then I have the perfect tool for you! It was specifically created for authors who wish to sell more books and ebooks.
I don’t know about you, but as an author, I prefer spending my time writing my books instead of marketing them. Over the years I’ve read all sorts of articles and books on how to increase my book sales, and one of the most helpful tools I’ve been able to find is Publisher Rocket.
Publisher Rocket helps me in four key areas:
- Best Keywords for my book
- Who my Competitors are (so I can learn from them)
- Best Categories for my book
- Best Keywords for my AMS ads
With this tool, I stopped guessing what keywords I should be using for my books, and instead was able to find keywords that were actually typed into Amazon’s search bar by real shoppers.
One of Publisher Rocket’s most powerful features is its Competition Analyzer that lists the books that rank on the first page of Amazon for a particular keyword. This feature also allows you to see how well any of your competitors’ books are performing and in what categories their books are currently enrolled in.
Publisher Rocket also lists all of Amazon’s 11,200+ categories and subcategories, along with how many books you would need to sell in order to be the #1 bestseller. So instead of sifting through all those categories ourselves, this tool does all this for us.
And if you run sponsored ads on Amazon for your books, then this tool is absolutely indispensable, because its ads feature helps us effectively and efficiently create a large list of profitable keywords for any of your campaigns.
Additionally, there are courses on AMS ads and other tutorials so you can learn how to use the software.
One-Time Investment
One of the reasons I’m such a fan of Publisher Rocket is that it is currently a one-time investment, meaning unlike so much other software out there, it doesn’t require a recurring, monthly subscription fee.
It also comes with a 30-day money-back guarantee, which makes the testing of the software absolutely risk-free for us.
So if you’d like to give Publisher Rocket a try, you can do so here.
I’ve been using this software for years now and can’t imagine launching a book without it. I hope you find it as helpful and indispensable as I do.
