What Will It Look Like When I Hit #1 in My Categories?



Let's get you excited about what it will look like FOR YOU when you launch your book! Then, we'll jump into mapping out 'the how' next.

Important to know + Super encouraging

• 1-hour update rule

• Although there are other factors that go into Amazon's *secret* bestselling ranking algorithm, the most important factor is...well, sales, of course! A concentration of sales.


9 Spots for Screenshots to Get Proof

Make sure to get proof, so be ready to check these SIX places to show that you hit your goals.

Book’s Individual Page

1. Look on book's actual page for rankings (under "Product Details") for the three categories it is in.

Note: You can get tech support to put you into up to 10 you choose. #BookHack!

2. Look at the top of your book's page for a flag too! 

Note: May take longer to appear and it is not guaranteed.

#1 Hot New Release is usually easier/faster to get than #1 Best Seller

Book’s Category Pages

3. Look on each of the categories' pages for rankings and side by side comparison shots with your competitors' books.

4. Look at the "Hot New Release" rankings for side by side comparison shots with your competitors' books.

5. Look at other countries Amazon pages at #1-4 above 

Note: You can easily access your book in other countries through KDP

6. Then, check ‘up’ in the Parent Categories for how you rank in more competitive listings.

Note: Even if you do not rank as well, the books around you may be very cool and photo-worthy!

Search

7. Do an Amazon search for your author name or name of your book and look for the flags there!

Author Page

8. Look on your Author Central author page for the flags there

Mobile - BONUS!

9. Get the same shots, but from mobile to share!

Myths

1. "I have to have a lot of money for your marketing budget." 
Nope - $0 is what I spent. We'll dive into "A: Attraction-Based Marketing" tactics of the T.R.A.C.K. Formula to hit bestseller.

2. "It's really hard." 
There is some effort required, but it's not as hard as you think. Inside this program, we'll walk you through mapping out the perfect pre-launch and launch plan to claim the bestseller title.

3. "You need a professional publisher to do it." 
I did it myself in 30 days (twice) -- from no idea to bestseller -- and have helped many more just like you.

4. "You need a huge email list to hit bestseller." 
My email list was about 200-ish disengaged people.

5. "I'm not expert enough yet to be a bestselling published author."
If you are a couple steps ahead of someone else, you owe it to them to share your knowledge with them.

6. "No one will buy my book, so it's not worth the effort." 
Beyond book sales, being a published author will land you more clients, paid speaking gigs, and more media attention that will drive even more leads to your business. (Our focus in LEVEL 3).
