Your BOOK is the best marketing!
I have noticed a consistent trend lately.
Authors are wanting (me) to miracle-market a poorly done book.
When I go to review their book via samples, etc., on the 'Zon or wherever, I am finding:
❌ Awful blurbs that include typos
❌ Terrible cover art
❌ NO front/back matter that tells me who they are
Your book itself is the first and best marketing piece you have. If you produce a poor product, the best ads and best marketing person in the world cannot help you get more book sales.
Review your book well before you question why you don't have more sales. If your book seems fabulous to you and a few people that MAY be willing to tell it like it is, then consult with someone else.
Like I usually tell these people, I am happy to take your money 🤑but nothing I do will matter until we fix the book itself.
I talk about this more in last week's Authors Allies podcast.
Graphic of flowers with 3 questions to ask before hiring someone to market your book. 1 does your cover represent a quality book 2 is your blurb perfected 3 does your front and back matter lead your reader to you? Authors Allies podcast Ep 37: your book is the marketing.

Happy New Year, everyone. I'm so excited for the new energy. I got up early this morning to film today's podcast IN 2026 so I could harness that Year of the Horse energy. Take a listen now and see how to sell more books this year.

Amazon Categories and Keywords-
In the Authors' Allies ROUNDTABLE membership this month we are optimizing our Amazon profiles in preparation for the holiday season. Out latest podcast (audio on spotify, etc.) goes over this as well.
✅ Your cover sells first – make sure it communicates your genre at thumbnail size.
✅ Hook readers fast with bold, scannable, emotionally compelling descriptions.
✅ Specific keywords win – niche down and test phrases that readers actually search.
✅ Mix your categories – blend competitive and less competitive niches for visibility.
✅ A+ Content and Author Central matter – they build trust and enhance professionalism.
✅ Track and tweak every 3–6 months to stay aligned with trends and keep sales momentum.
If your profile isn't up to date, take some time now and fix it up.
