Unbelievably helpful

I am a self-publisher and have been experiencing many of the ups and downs the author covers here. Loads of helpful, practical, and applicable advice for various topics we run into as self-publishers with Amazon and advertising.

I wasn't sure about the narration at first, but I learned to appreciate the direct, practical, specific advice he worked through, and it became more of a conversation I was listening to. I liked this so much that I will buy the paperback as well to have it as a quick reference.

Great resource

Just finished listening to this audiobook on self-publishing, and it's a game-changer for anyone in the self-publishing arena. The guide offers an in-depth look into various aspects of Amazon KDP, from leveraging algorithms to boosting book visibility and sales.

As a self-publisher myself, I found the practical advice incredibly helpful. The guide covers the ups and downs of self-publishing on Amazon with practical, applicable advice. It addresses everything from advertising pitfalls to effective use of AI in publishing, which I hadn't fully considered before.

Initially, I wasn't too sure about the narration style, but as I got into the book, it grew on me. It's direct and to the point, which I appreciate in a guide like this. It's like having a knowledgeable friend walk you through the essentials of self-publishing. I'm even considering getting the paperback version for quick reference.

For anyone starting out or already in the self-publishing world, this audiobook is a must-listen. It's filled with valuable insights and serves as a great reminder of key strategies that are easy to forget in the daily grind. The sections on book launching and the comparison of publishing with other opportunities were particularly enlightening. This book doesn't just share information; it embeds it in your mind, making it an invaluable resource for any self-published author.

A Tad Dated, But Still Useful Information

This is a short and easy listen about guys to succeed in self-publishing on Amazon KDP. The main focus is good to leverage Amazon's algorithms, ai technology, and new tools to increase your books visibility and ultimately sales. the authors experience shows as he gives straightforward and practical advice that's easy to follow, but is more a general guide than a step-by-step instructional. The narration was okay, but a little slow. I had to speed up the playback to enjoy the performance. Aside from that, it's a quick listen, especially if you want a brief overview of how to succeed in self-publishing. Some of the information, though is a tad outdated, as it referenced 2023 and since things have changed since then, but that doesn't take away from how useful the information is.

make some money with self publishing

It is a great idea to self publish books on Amazon. I always thought you'd have to publish with a traditional publishers before, and i never knew that anyone can so much easily publish books on Amazon now. This book serves as a good guide for anyone interested in publishing on Amazon, or basically have something to share with the world that can put into a book. Not to say that there are lots people buying books on amazon, and you might make some extra money. if you like writing novels, maybe you can do a sequal and that is probably gonna make lots more money.

Full of rational, good tips

You can tell that the author is a down-to-earth rational thinker.
There is no hype in this book, just practical, time-tested advice.
I get the impression that there is a video of this presentation as well, either that or the printed book has some images worth looking at.
Thanks for helping me succeed at high content publishing.

A Must-Have Book for every Self-Publisher!

The Amazon Self-Publishing Guidebook is one of the best resources I’ve come across in a long time. I will definitely be recommending it to all my author friends. The author, Richard Abbott, shares pertinent information without being redundant or adding fluff. I’m a veteran self-publisher, and I found lots of information I will be returning to, especially in the area of marketing. This is a guidebook and would make a great companion to his first book, How to Successfully Self-Publish a Book On Amazon & Audible. In fact, I’m heading over to Amazon right now to get a Kindle version of his first book!
