I think your educational format is really good. Clear and straight to the point! 👍👍

[@selfpublishingempire]

Thank you :)

[@Gustaiiv]

Thanks mate! I found this quite helpful for my children's books.

[@ababduljabbar4373]

Excellent work! I noticed a few SEO issues that, if resolved, could boost your reach and engagement. Feel free to reach out for help

[@arail1]

It would helpful if you took a novel (actual or imaginary) and filled in the seven slots so we could see what it looks like. Another site suggests the first three slots should be a phrase but the next four could be just words. Do you agree?

Interesante. Buen video. Gracias por las pautas.

[@selfpublishingempire]

Gracias mi amigo!

do you think what range of results number is good for ranking organically ??
should it always be under a thousand results or is it possible to go up to maybe 2 or 3 thousand results ?

[@selfpublishingempire]

It depends. I'd look at how many good quality book covers are there / how many reviews the books on the first page have. If they all look like poor books I'd be tempted to publish in that niche even if a larger amount of books, but be prepared that I might need to use a higher ad spend to launch my book.
You'd be much more likely to rank organically on the first page with say less than 500 results.

Random question: Do you copyright each of your coloring books? I was looking online and it costs 45 dollars to copyright a self-published book.

[@selfpublishingempire]

No, I don't.

Thank you for this video, keyword research is one of my biggest nemesis.
When filling up the backend keywords, i always use comma after each word. Is it okay?
For example, if I was filling the backend keywords, would it be wrong if i repeated a word i.e dinosaur kids joke, dinasour funny jokes?

[@selfpublishingempire]

No need to use commas! You can repeat words if you like, but you don't need to, especially if you are lacking space.

[@onyi4180]

@@selfpublishingempire thank you so much.
