Having a lead magnet to build an audience which helps with future book launches. If not, it’s like you’re starting promo from scratch each and every time.
I guess Quality is the most important part. Over delivering based on your ads will get you happy readers = good reviews = decent growth = and Green comes to your bank account!
Great Video!!!! Your ability to get straight to the point is a blessing. I paid for a course on this topic, that in the time you are done with your video, they still had 3 minutes to go on their opening monologue congratulating each other on how smart they are.
This video just blew my mind. It's all the things i didnt know i didnt know! Absolute gold thank you. I literally am going to follow this step by step starting now! thanks legend
Thank you Dane. You really told me all I needed to know about launching a book and I don't think I would repeat the mistake I did on my first book on this one now. Thank you a lot.
Excellent video Dane! Well done and a great 5 Step plan. As mentioned, the first 30 days are critical. Most aim for the short term with a profit mindset, but it’s investing both time and money (and usually at a loss) for the first 30 days that will provide the long term passive income that will far outstrip that initial investment. It’s so hard to do, but just so important.
What a great strategy. I have learned so much. I am not doing an ebook as mine is an Activity Book, but will follow the paperback instructions. Thanks Dane.
One of the best publishing channel on RUclips 👍🏼 Dane i didn't clearly understand the Promotional sites concept.. Please make a detailed video on it..🙂

Always love our videos Dane, but would like more information. When you say 'organic sales' what do you mean? Also slots? And how on earth do you promote a book on Facebook? How do you get a following? I have to tell you my first book was published in June and I was/and am on the first page of most of my keywords. So, I must be doing something right. Mostly it was a book launch team that wrote reviews and my followers on Quora that bought my book. Now my second book will be out by November latest. See what that does.

How many sales per week when you are launching help to get a good ranking? 1-20? 20-40? 40-100 sales? How many comments and sales roughly? Thanks!! You rock!
Thanks for the great tips! When using the early reader sites such as booksprout - will readers be leaving reviews that are not verified purchases? Do you find that the reviews get accepted and still help the algorithm? Thanks a lot!
Hi there Dane, thank you for such a helpful video. I wanted to ask you: what do you mean by having less promotional slots in week 1 and 2 and more in week 3 and 4. Is it purchasing fewer promotional "places" where this sites will promote our books during the first weeks and then increase them?
Great video, thank you. Any ideas for pre-launching low content books for newbies? I’m starting out in low content to hopefully save enough to pay for your course and for my first non-fiction book release, so I want to do it the right way. But you can’t really give away low-content books on free booksy though since they don’t really have actual content to read, right?…..and I’m just starting, so I don’t have an email list built yet…so do you have any other strategies for getting those 10ish reviews quickly so I can then start running ads?? Thanks so much for your videos and your time.
Hey man, great stuff. Can you provide a bit of help on how to time a release with Amazon's review process? I'm preparing for release and don't want to do a pre-order. Can the book be approved and ready to go before you make it live and available? Just to ensure that your promotional dates of release remain correct? Thanks so much.
Thanks Dane for this video! I am new to kdp and have around 20 books, 1 month old (LC and NC - notebooks and journals). I understand it is a highly competitive space. Even though I have had no sales so far (which definitely is a high expectation from my end and I understand from the videos that it takes time, continuous effort and patience to see the first sale happen), what would you recommend for a beginner like me - to stay in Low content books or to scale up and invest into high content looks through ghostwriters?
Hi Rismi, low content books are great, they don't take as much time and they bring easy sales. It's nearly the same for high content books with the right key words and when you invest in the right marketing strategies for both high content and low content books, getting sales becomes really easy. I had the same problem as you for several months before a business mate introduced me to ways that made the biggest changes in my writing career. I'd like us to share helpful ideas. Is there any way I can connect with you apart from RUclips?
Hello! I'm new to your channel, thanks for this great video and information. I'm considering re-launching my books and also translating these books into the English language. I wonder what videos do you recommend to me from you, that includes these topics.. Thanks again
Hi Dane, your advice is to launch one's e-book as a free book for the first 2 weeks. Do you advise launching a paperback version at the same time? If so, at what price point? Thanks.
Yes, always at the same time. Price the PP lower than you competition in order to get it selling/ranking during the first month. Once you've accomplished that, then experiment with your price.
Would it still be okay to use booksprout for my ebook that already has a shelf life of 2 months? Or should I make a new listing and use Booksprout within the first 2-3weeks?
Because low content books (journals, coloring books...etc) will usually be a paperback, not ebook (kindle) which means i won't be able to make free promotions and count down deals with it
Hi Dane I have watched this video at least 30 times in the last few weeks. I think your strategy is amazing and this is exactly what I will be doing for my first book. I just have on question, once the 30 days is over are we able to then go back and add our books to kdp select?
the sites where to promote books usually don't work, I have tested them and the only ones I find are other people who promote their books and not readers
Thanks Dane a lot just one question please I have to upload my ebook on booksprout before I publish it on kdp? Or I can upload it when my ebook on kdp during the 5 days free promotion??? Thanks a lot Dane🌹🌹🌹
Has to be on there before KDP. You can't have it enrolled in KDP Select at the same time it's on Booksprout. If it isn't on KDP Select, you can do booksprout whenever.
If this is simplified my name is GW Bush hahaha ! More seriously creating a following in few days before launching isn't realistic from my point of view. We all know how hard it is to build an audience consistently. In this video you are talking about yourself that is to say someone who already has an audience, who started KDP years ago when things where easier and who has a quite good experience. You are not giving us someting manageable for us neewbies at all but instead you are overwhelming our minds. Is there a really simplified strategy for someone who starts from scratch in order to make his first dollars on amazon kdp or is it a hard game to win so tell this to your audience in order to be more beneficial to them. Thank you !
Hi Dean! Please can you give me your opinion on whether we can trust Publisher Rocket? Many of the results I get from it don't seem to concur at all with KD Spy and Amazon search box results. Sometimes they just seem way off. Like saying there is huge competition when there are only a few page results or huge monthly sales when there are only a few people searching. Can we trust this tool or is it leading us astray? I really think this is so important in our decision-making. Really appreciate any comment you might have. PS/ Thanks for your videos, I think you're great!
hey dane i would to send you my book its a coloring book and would you like to tell me what i did wrong cause i did everything i can good cover good description from fiver but nothing zero sales
Hi Dane. I published my book on 18 June 2021. My targeted reviewers did not pull through for me. I have a few from Italy and Canada but they do not appear on the US Amazon site. I have now come up with a new strategy and anticipate reviews to start coming in in about three weeks. Would you suggest that I unpublish and republish the book for better timing for the reviews?
I wouldn't unpublish, just wait and see how things go once they are live and then make your decision, I can't see it being much of an issue waiting a bit longer though. But yes, if someone reviews your book outside of the US, that review most likely won't ever show on .com.
Dane, I wish you had published this video before. My book is in amazon and enrolled it in kdp select. I have done everything on the contrary and now, of course, it has been hard. I haven't used my free days although and not promoted for 99c. Do you think is there any damage control when you do things on the contrary?

If you only had 3 possible keywords for your book and they were eg (made up example) buddhist books for men (1k search) buddhist book for men (403 search) mens buddhist books (492 search) And it didn’t fit for the title, although you maybe could put “(buddhist men)” on the end of the title. You already have the phrase “buddhist men” as part of your subtitle… 1) Would having a series title called one of the 3 keywords help? Eg “buddhist books for men” 2) a) Do I need “book” or “books” in my title or subtitle to rank for any of the 3 keyword phrases? b) All other things being equal would that be enough to rank against other books in the niche, most of the bestsellers not having the keywords in the title (a few have 1 word from a keyword), and none having the word “book” or “books” in the title. Thanks

These strategies just all boil down to those who have a good email list or followers on social media or customer base already. If you don't have these structures, then this won't help at all. I thought you would reveal more organic ways to get this done without having to build a following, not everyone has that luxury.

😂😂I paid for many courses trying to get things done on my own. Have you launched your book?

Absolutely! Well said.
Stellar video! I shall be implementing many elements of this approach in my book launch.
You are simply the best. Thanks for all the priceless information you give out, Dane.

This is amazing. I wish I knew about you a few weeks before getting another course.
Dude, I so loved this video! Doing it!!
Very helpful with practical tips. Thank you so much!
Very good video with good information. We have a question though, what are slots? Never heard of that before in terms of book publishing.
I think the most important part of the book creation/publishing process is writing the actual book.
100% agreed. A weak foundation (the book itself) leads to all kinds of problems everywhere else in the business.
Great strategy! Thanks, Dane.
Glad it was helpful!
Great advice for launching a book. Thanks.
This was incredibly helpful, thank you so much!
Awesome to hear that!
What a great strategy. I have learned so much. I am not doing an ebook as mine is an Activity Book, but will follow the paperback instructions. Thanks Dane.

Hi Dane. I am enjoying your videos. What is your opinion on using a virtual assistant during the launch?
For what service?

Great Video!
Hi should we look for an update to this strategy now, almost 2 years later, and with the onslaught of AI & ChatGPT writers?
Hey, Dane! Quick question: would 6 promotional sites be enough to make things work? Thanks!
Definitely, I only normally focus on 2-4 high quality ones
@@DaneMcBeth which one would you recommend?

Hi Dan again what's the average word's of your books
What do you suggest Short . Average or Long
I love it 😍!
Will this also work for fiction?
How many sales per week when you are launching help to get a good ranking? 1-20? 20-40? 40-100 sales? How many comments and sales roughly? Thanks!! You rock!
Hunting idea I have KDSPY or publisher rocket
I did an Amazon Author search and got no results for your name. How can I find your books? Thanks
It has to be an ebook for preorder right?
Nope, just draft the book in your KDP account
I'm confused how you give the book away prior to the free days?
Very interesting, thank you
Thanks for the great tips! When using the early reader sites such as booksprout - will readers be leaving reviews that are not verified purchases? Do you find that the reviews get accepted and still help the algorithm? Thanks a lot!

Unfortunately not, but almost 99% of the time, it will only take 24-48 hours for your ebook and Paperback to go live
If I wasn't able to do any of this for some of my eBooks, should I deactivate those eBooks from amazon kdp and start again?
Thanks Dane for this video! I am new to kdp and have around 20 books, 1 month old (LC and NC - notebooks and journals). I understand it is a highly competitive space.

Hey Bro,
Is it important to do 99c Purchase By Va?
Most of the publishers did this thing. What about u?
That's a great strategy. But i want to ask, does this go for low content books as well?
Because low content books (journals, coloring books...etc) will usually be a paperback, not ebook (kindle) which means i won't be able to make free promotions and count down deals with it

how do you relaunch a children's book that has been sitting for a long time and in the millions BSR and 2 years old?
the sites where to promote books usually don't work, I have tested them and the only ones I find are other people who promote their books and not readers
Look harder and test more, there are many high quality sites :)
@@DaneMcBeth ok i will try the site you recommended
Thanks Dane a lot just one question please I have to upload my ebook on booksprout before I publish it on kdp? Or I can upload it when my ebook on kdp during the 5 days free promotion???
Thanks a lot Dane🌹🌹🌹
Has to be on there before KDP. You can't have it enrolled in KDP Select at the same time it's on Booksprout. If it isn't on KDP Select, you can do booksprout whenever.
Is 99c even worth the price of a long form novel? Most list theirs for around $2.99-$4.99. Thanks for your awesome videos.
How do you know when the book will go live? It takes amazon a few days to review it right?
What do you think about workbooks?
Depends on the niche! Most are very competitive though.
Hey Dane - What do you charge to get into your course?
The paid program is $991. You can check out it out here if you'd like: paystopublish-class.com/go/checkout-991/

Hi Dan do you think this strategy Works well with a normal books 10k 50k words or even with low content Book and Coloring Books 📚

Another thing Dane, how do you get readers to read your book before it is in print? Do you upload a PDF?
Great question. I am wondering the same thing!
Do you set up any IG ads? If so, do you run the to a free offer or the Amazon link?
No I don't... It's just way too hard to track if they are converting or not.
Love it! :) Would you change any of this now in 2023? What is the average lifespan of your books? :)
