ABOUT THE BOOK

Immerse yourself in a near-future world on the brink of transformation in “Threads of a Needle.” Follow Hope Valencia, a skilled PT-SOF agent for the League of Consciousness, as she embarks on a daring mission transcending the boundaries of time and space.

Advanced neurological technologies, now under the control of a dominant media conglomerate, manipulate humanity’s belief systems, deviating from their original intent to advance human progress. At the heart of this narrative are Hope’s parents, Dr. Gabriel Valencia, neurotechnologist, and Ella Valencia, whose monumental discovery of Trans-Dimensional Probability Threads unites consciousness with the physical realm, revealing a vast expanse of probable realities. This groundbreaking revelation paves the way for the Quantum Thought Dynamics-AI Protocol (QTD-AI), a technology that enables the digitization and manipulation of human thought processes.

Embark on a journey with Hope that challenges traditional understanding, unravels the very fabric of reality, and unveils hidden truths. “Threads of a Needle” not only narrates an enthralling tale but also invites you to reflect on the malleability of reality and the influential power of your beliefs, thoughts, and emotions in shaping the world around you.

In a groundbreaking move that is set to redefine the landscape of audiobook production, Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) has unveiled a beta program in the United States. The program enables authors to easily turn their eBooks into audiobooks. This signals a new era for authors seeking to turn their ebooks into captivating audiobooks. Amazon’s new innovative program, fueled by AI Voices, will help reduce the production costs of audiobooks. Read on to discover more about this exciting new program!

1. Benefits of Audiobooks

Audiobooks have become an integral part of the literary experience, offering readers a dynamic and immersive way to engage with content. This means it’s more accessible to those who might not be able to engage with the content otherwise. Authors who have audiobook versions of their books can reach various new audiences. However, the process of creating an audiobook is long, and not all authors have access to the resources required to make an audiobook, This is why Amazon has introduced a new beta program for audiobooks.

2. Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing Beta Audiobook Program

Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing is taking a giant leap forward by introducing a revolutionary beta program for audiobook creation. This program leverages virtual voice narration and synthetic speech technology to convert eligible ebooks into high-quality audiobooks.

3. Program Details for Authors

Authors participating in the beta program will select one of their eligible ebooks on Kindle Direct Publishing to transform into an audiobook. With a user-friendly interface, authors can then sample various virtual voices, preview, and customize their audiobook, tailoring it to their unique vision. This process is all done through Amazon’s platform for users in the United States. As they improve the technology, Amazon plans to expand the program to other countries. 

4. The Process of Creating an Audiobook Through the Beta Program

Amazon has streamlined the process for authors. They can set a list price for their audiobook between $3.99 and $14.99 on the platform. This provides authors with control over their work’s value. Notably, authors will receive a 40% royalty, ensuring a fair compensation model.

5. How Much Can Authors Earn From the Program

This groundbreaking initiative by Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing offers a unique opportunity for cost savings. In the past, authors faced significant expenses when hiring professional narrators, voice talent, and engineers for audiobook production. However, thanks to the beta program’s use of AI technology, authors can now create captivating audiobooks at a fraction of the usual cost.

6. Quick Availability of Audiobooks on Audible

Following publication, audiobooks will be live within a mere 72 hours, making them swiftly available where Audible titles are sold. This quick availability will be incredibly valuable to authors looking to expand their audiences.

Amazon KDP assures that audiobooks created through the program will be included in the Audible Plus catalog. This makes them eligible for a share of the KDP Select Global Fund. Customers can easily identify audiobooks created by virtual voice, and as with any audiobook, they can enjoy listening to samples before making a purchase.

For authors eager to navigate the exciting terrain of self-publishing with Amazon and achieve Bestseller Status, Elite Online Publishing stands as the ultimate guide. Join now to gain invaluable insights and expert support throughout your publishing journey. Embrace the future of publishing with Amazon KDP’s Audiobook Beta Program, and let your words resonate with audiences in new and innovative ways.

The rapid advancement of artificial intelligence (AI) is transforming various industries, and e-commerce giant Amazon is at the forefront of this digital revolution. In a recent article by Time, titled “How Amazon Uses Artificial Intelligence to Outsmart Traditional Product Search,” the author highlights Amazon’s innovative AI technology that revolutionizes the way customers search for products on the platform. This development not only impacts the shopping experience but also holds intriguing implications for self-published authors looking to gain visibility and reach a wider audience through Amazon’s vast marketplace.

Understanding Amazon’s AI-Powered Product Search

Amazon has long been a pioneer in utilizing AI to enhance the user experience. With its latest AI-powered product search technology, the company aims to streamline the process of finding relevant products for its customers. Amazon’s AI will now enhance this process by analyzing various factors to provide more accurate and personalized search results. These include:

  • Product Attributes
  • Customer Behavior
  • Purchasing Patterns

So what does this mean for authors?

The Impact of AI on Self-Published Authors

Amazon’s AI-enabled product search is a game changer for self-published authors who rely on Amazon to showcase and sell their work. Amazon is one of the biggest markets for self-publishing and is steadily growing. Making your book stand out amongst the millions published can be incredibly challenging. But the new AI technology is a boon, opening up opportunities for increased visibility. This helps potential readers to find and engage with self-published titles easily.

AI Improves Discoverability

Amazon’s book search has become smarter and more intuitive thanks to AI algorithms. This is great news for self-published authors who’ve taken the time to create well-written descriptions and put effort into marketing their books. By analyzing content and context more accurately, Amazon’s system ensures that readers see the most relevant self-published titles in their search results. This boosts book discoverability and helps authors connect with their readers more effectively!

Enhanced Personalization of AI

Personalization is a key aspect of Amazon’s AI-driven product search. The system learns from individual user preferences, browsing history, and purchase behavior, enabling it to make tailored recommendations. For self-published authors, this means that their books have a higher chance of reaching readers who are genuinely interested in their genre or subject matter. By presenting personalized book suggestions, Amazon’s AI technology enables self-published authors to build a loyal reader base and potentially increase sales.

Challenges and Considerations

If you’re an author looking to use Amazon’s AI product search to your advantage, here are some things to keep in mind. While the increased emphasis on relevance and personalization brings exciting opportunities, it can also mean tougher competition within your genre. Don’t worry, though – by producing high-quality content and effective marketing strategies, you can stand out and succeed in the vast selection of books.
Want to optimize your chances even more? Pay attention to:

  • Book descriptions
  • Formatting
  • Cover designs

Make sure that these align with Amazon’s AI algorithms. By understanding how the AI system categorizes books, you can boost your visibility and get noticed by potential readers.

Conclusion

Amazon’s AI-powered product search is revolutionizing the way customers discover products, including self-published books. By leveraging advanced AI algorithms, Amazon has improved the relevance and personalization of search results, offering self-published authors greater opportunities to connect with their target audience. 

But to keep up with the constantly evolving landscape, authors need to produce great and relevant content for their audience and use effective marketing strategies. As AI continues to shape the e-commerce industry, self-published authors can take advantage of this technology to connect with an even wider audience and achieve their publishing goals.

#1 International Bestselling Author Linda F. Barrett releases her book “Circle to Paris” with Success

Houston, TX – Thursday, July 7th, 2022 – Author Linda F. Barrett joined the ranks of bestselling authors on Amazon with her New Book, “Circle to Paris: A Young Woman’s Journey to Find Love, Success, and Self-Empowerment,” which was released Tuesday, July 5th, 2022, by Amazon.com – the nation’s #1 place to buy books.

Elite Online Publishing Published, Promoted and Reached #1 International Bestseller on Amazon in FIVE categories in CA, FR, and AU. Including World Literature in FR and CA. American Women Writers and Adventure Travel in FR. French Literature and French Drama in AU. #1 Hot New Release in THIRTEEN categories in four countries including US, AU, CA, and FR.

ABOUT THE BOOK

Honora Blanche Favre had it all: Beauty, Brains, Friends, Family and Riches. Until one day Life slaps her down. Hard. She becomes a pariah, a loser overnight; even her parents are ashamed of her. Napoleon Bonaparte’s revolutionary system of education created more than 100 years before Honora was born, makes her into a failure at the tender age of 18. She is powerless to change it. The belle femme is exiled forever from the only thing she has ever worked for – her education and going to a prestigious University, as all her friends are doing. The years that follow go from bad to worse for beautiful Honora.  Despite hard work and advancement as a receptionist at her parent’s prestigious Paris law office,  she is fired and humiliated, for little reason, by the law firm’s dreadful, mysterious office manager. In a panic, She bolts from her family and her life in Paris – escaping to the Normandy countryside. While traveling through Normandy’s ancient, spectacular places like le Bec-Hellouin and Mont Saint Michel, Honora is pulled into a cyclone of romance, intrigue, danger and personal achievement. Honora finds something deep inside of herself: courage, self-love and self-determination. She realizes there is a survivor living inside of her. A fighter. A tenacious girl that just won’t give up on herself and those she loves.

The Circle is complete when a shocking turn of events compels Honora to return to Paris – although no longer a failure, nor a burden, nor a victim. She returns triumphant and independent to face a future that she has never imagined – carrying the promise of a new life inside her, taking charge of her parent’s law firm administration and becoming the stalwart of her family, as they face accusations that could destroy everything that the Favres have worked for all their lives.

One of the main focuses of your book launch is getting book reviews. Why are reviews so important? These days, before anyone buys anything, they look for social proof. People want to make sure that other people are saying good things about something before they buy it. Just like reading the reviews of a product before purchasing, a reader wants to know what other people say about a book before they are willing to pay for it. In preparation for your launch, you want to make sure you will have plenty of reviews (preferably good reviews that are more than just a few words) right from the beginning. Another thing to consider is that most websites won’t promote your book unless you have a certain number of reviews. Remember that everyone is busy, so to make sure your book is getting reviewed, it’s your responsibility to follow up with people and remind them to leave a review.

Here are tried and true ways to get good book reviews:

  • Ask Your Book launch team
  • Use Your Email lists
  • Ask for a review inside your book
  • Reach out to reviewers of similar books
  • Get editorial reviews
  • Host a book giveaway in exchange for a review

Review Rules:

Stop Amazon reviews from being deleted.

Reviews left by friends and family: A few ways Amazon might flag a review is if the person leaving the review has ever used the same shipping address or credit card number as you. This tells Amazon that you live with this person, so it is not an honest review. Also, keep in mind that reviews that sound too personal can be flagged as bias reviews because it looks like this is someone who knows you personally as a friend or family member.

Amazon’s Policy:

“We don’t allow individuals who share a household with the author or close friends to write Customer Reviews for that author’s book. Customer Reviews provide unbiased product feedback from fellow shoppers and aren’t to be used as a promotional tool. Please refer to our Help Page for more details. Your family and friends are welcome to share their enthusiasm for your book through our Customer Discussions feature.”

Reviews that aren’t verified: If someone tries to leave a review, but according to Amazon they never purchased this book or opened the digital version of the book yet, it will get flagged and deleted. This is something to keep in mind when sending out ARCs of your book because you sent your book out as a gift these people didn’t buy your book before writing the review. Make sure that your launch team knows that they need to buy your book (on launch day during your 99 cent campaign) before leaving the review so that it is a verified review.

Reviews that you paid someone to write: To be clear, in most cases, this is illegal. You can’t pay for a review or offer someone compensation in any way for a review. You can provide prizes, contests, and giveaways but not in a way that is in exchange for a positive review. The safest way to avoid reviews getting deleted for this reason is to be clear in your verbiage that you want honest reviews, and although you’d appreciate an honest review, this book is a gift whether they choose to review it or not.

Amazon’s Policy:

“We don’t allow any form of compensation for a Customer Review other than a free copy of the book provided upfront. If you offer a free advanced copy, it must be clear that you welcome all feedback, both positive and negative. If we detect that a customer was paid to write a review, we’ll remove it. The only type of paid review that Amazon supports is an editorial review. An editorial review is a more formal evaluation of a book usually written by an editor or expert within a genre, but can also be written by family and friends. If you’ve received an editorial review of your book that you’d like to post to the Editorial Review section of your book’s detail page, please visit our Author Central Help Page.”

You are sending the wrong URL to your launch team: There is an easy fix to this; you want to make sure you are sending the right kind of link to your team. Essentially, a super link on Amazon contains different markers that so the time the link was copied, the current standing of the book when the link was copied, etc. If you are sending this super link, Amazon will be concerned that reviews are left through a link that was copied days before and doesn’t have current information on it, especially if multiple reviews are being left through these links. To make sure your reviews aren’t getting deleted for this reason, only send the portion of the link that you need.

A super link:

https://www.amazon.com/Write-Your-Story-Leave-Legacy/dp/1619846926/ref=sr_1_1keywords=Melanie+Johnson&qid=1559848396&s=gateway&sr=8-1

The section of the URL that is bolded is the section that contains the keywords searched to find the book, the time the URL was copied, and the ranking of the book at that exact moment. Simply leave that section out of your link. Instead of sending the super link to your team and email list, send the base link.

A base link:

https://www.amazon.com/Write-Your-Story-Leave-Legacy/dp/1619846926/

Having a compelling book description, title and cover is an important part of selling your story. But an even greater way to convince your audience to buy your book is by having a great review.

Wondering how Amazon’s review process works? We dug up the rules straight from Amazon themselves to share.

Customer Reviews Guidelines Frequently Asked Questions from Authors

1. Can I write a Customer Review of my own book?
No. You can’t write a review of your own book, but there are other ways to communicate with your readers on Amazon. Please visit our Author Central Help Page to learn how to benefit from the ‘Book Description,’ ‘Editorial Reviews,’ and ‘More About the Author’ sections of your book’s detail page.

2. Are authors allowed to review other authors’ books?
Yes. Authors are welcome to submit Customer Reviews, unless the reviewing author has a personal relationship with the author of the book being reviewed, or was involved in the book’s creation process (i.e. as a co-author, editor, illustrator, etc.). If so, that author isn’t eligible to write a Customer Review for that book. Please review our Customer Review Guidelines for more information.

3. Can I ask my family to write a Customer Review for my book?
We don’t allow individuals who share a household with the author or close friends to write Customer Reviews for that author’s book. Customer Reviews provide unbiased product feedback from fellow shoppers and aren’t to be used as a promotional tool. Please refer to our Help Page for more details. Your family and friends are welcome to share their enthusiasm for your book through our Customer Discussions feature.

To find Customer Discussions, go to your book’s product detail page and scroll past Customer Reviews. Click on the ‘Start a Discussion’ button to provide your feedback. Anyone who visits Amazon.com can read a discussion. For more information, check out our Customer Discussion Guidelines.

4. Can I pay for someone to write a Customer Review for my book?
No.
We don’t allow any form of compensation for a Customer Review other than a free copy of the book provided upfront. If you offer a free advanced copy, it must be clear that you welcome all feedback, both positive and negative. If we detect that a customer was paid to write a review, we’ll remove it.

The only type of paid review that Amazon supports is an editorial review. An editorial review is a more formal evaluation of a book usually written by an editor or expert within a genre, but can also be written by family and friends. If you’ve received an editorial review of your book that you’d like to post to the Editorial Review section of your book’s detail page, please visit our Author Central Help Page.

4.1 What do you mean by compensation?
Offering payment or any other incentive for a Customer Review is considered compensation. This includes giving someone money or a gift certificate to purchase your book. We consider incentives to be any type of reward that is given in return for a Customer Review, including but not limited to bonus content, entry to a contest or sweepstakes, discounts on future purchases, and other gifts.

5. Can I post a Customer Review on behalf of someone else?
No. Customer Reviews are meant to provide customers with feedback from fellow shoppers. For this reason, you should use the Editorial Reviews section of your book’s detail page to share content that is posted on other sites or from individuals who do not have an Amazon account.

6. A Customer Review is missing from my book’s detail page. What happened?
We take the removal of Customer Reviews very seriously. Reviews are removed from Amazon for one of three reasons:

1. The review didn’t meet our posted Customer Review Guidelines.
2. The review was removed by the customer who wrote it.
3. We discovered that multiple items were linked together on our website incorrectly. Reviews that were posted on those pages were removed when the items were separated on the site.

We can only discuss specific Customer Review removals with the person who originally posted the review.

7. Amazon removed a Customer Review from one of my books before I had a chance to see it. Can I see the review that was removed?
No. Once a review is removed, we can’t display it. The only time the text of a Customer Review is removed is when it violates the Customer Review Guidelines.

7.1 Can you tell me who posted the Customer Review that was removed?
No. We can only share information about a Customer Review that was removed with the customer who posted the review.

8. How do I remove a review from my book or report a review that violates the Amazon Community Guidelines?
Please take a look at the Customer Review Guidelines and our Help Page to learn more about what we allow reviewers to write. If, after reviewing our guidelines, you believe a review is in violation, please visit your book’s detail page. Below each review you’ll find the question, “Was this review helpful to you?” If you answer “no,” you can let us know why the review is inappropriate. We’ll examine the review and take action if necessary. Customer Reviews are meant to give customers genuine product feedback from fellow shoppers. We encourage reviewers to share their enthusiasm and experience; however we also reserve the right to determine whether reviews meet our guidelines and to remove reviews that are in violation of these guidelines.

9. Is there anything I can do if I disagree with a Customer Review on my book?
Yes. If you believe the Customer Review violates the Customer Review Guidelines or doesn’t seem genuine you can report the review as inappropriate. Below each review you’ll find a question that asks, “Was this review helpful to you?” If you answer “no,” you can let us know why the review should be removed. We’ll examine the review and take action if necessary.

10. How do I change a review that I’ve written?
Visit Your Profile and click the “See all reviews” link. On the next page, you’ll find a link to edit your review.

 

If you’re looking to write your book for people to review, we can help you at any point of your process. Just give us a call and we’ll share your story.

Amazon Best Seller: What does it really mean? https://eliteonlinepublishing.com/amazon-best-seller-what-does-it-really-mean/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=amazon-best-seller-what-does-it-really-mean https://eliteonlinepublishing.com/amazon-best-seller-what-does-it-really-mean/#respond Wed, 12 Jun 2019 15:00:35 +0000 https://eliteonlinepublishing.com/?p=12332 Here at Elite Online Publishing, we pride ourselves in knowing the secret sauce it takes to push a book to the top of Amazon’s lists and get best seller status on launch day.

Here at Elite Online Publishing, we pride ourselves in knowing the secret sauce it takes to push a book to the top of Amazon’s lists and get best seller status on launch day. But there are some questions to the validity of an Amazon Best Seller status.

Getting a best seller on Amazon is a valid status for your book and can easily be proven by either keeping a close eye on your book’s progress minute by minute or using the right tools to capture the proof. But what does separate Amazon from, say, the New York Times bestseller list is the variety of categories and frequency in which Amazon updates its algorithm.

Look up any Amazon Book or Kindle category and you’ll quickly discover that the major online retailer has a plethora of sub-categories to shelf your book – so many that even we couldn’t find an exact number. The trick to getting a best seller status is to simply find a category that’s not very competitive, meaning you only need to sell a dozen books to claim your title at the top of the list. It’s not cheating – you are the best seller of that category.

Of course, you need to pick a category that is relevant to your subject. But along with picking a popular category like Fantasy where your book will be buried under titles written by J. K. Rowling, simply place your book under Teen and Young Adult > Fantasy and Sci-Fi > Fantasy > Dark Fantasy. It may look like your putting your book farther away from the action, but in reality, you’re actually making it easier for your readers who are looking for something specific just like your book to even find you.

The other part of snagging a best seller status on Amazon is the fact that “… these category rankings are based on Amazon.com sales and are updated hourly,” according to their own site. While your book may only hold the best seller rank for only an hour, it still means that you obtained that status in that category. Now you can market your book as a best seller, and even upload a book cover with a golden seal on it.

The only issue to keep in mind is that the retail giant will not let you upload an image with a seal that says Amazon Best Seller. It’s a strange rule, we know. But you can still add a classic seal and then detail the category wins in your book description. All you have to do is be able to prove your claim, which is easy to do with a quick screen shot of your best seller position and BSR (best seller rank) number.

But other best seller lists, like the New York Times, only have a handful of categories that are updated on a weekly basis. This means that you have to consistently sell a certain number of books every single day in a category that’s filled with hundreds of other authors. It’s not impossible, but much more challenging. (Not to mention the controversy involving the highly sought after list.)

So, as you can see, obtaining an Amazon best seller status is far from a marketing ploy and is as valid as any other top-ranking list. To learn even more secrets and get help promoting your book to best seller, feel free to reach out to us any time and we’ll ensure you have a successful book launch.
