Description
Hello and welcome to my course, Amazon Book Marketing: Series Landing Page and Custom Domain.
No author website?Â No blog?Â No problem!
In this course, I'll teach you how to create an optimized Amazon author landing page with no extraneous BS.Â Meaning: no expensive website and no time-consuming blog.Â I'll then explain how to create a custom domain and forward it to your Amazon author landing page.
As an example, when you visit the custom URL for my wife's Miss Henry Mysteries series, you'll automatically be forwarded to the Amazon author landing page (in this case, an Amazon book series page) for the Miss Henry Mysteries series.
Q:Â How do you create the landing page?
A: By creating an Amazon Kindle eBook series page featuring all the books in a series or all the books by the author.Â Author biography and Amazon Author Page augment this page.
An added benefit is that all books in a series are displayed on the Amazon book product page for each book in the series. You can't buy this kind of advertising â€” and it's free.
Q:Â How do you forward the URLÂ to an Amazon series page?
A: By creating a simple forwarding record for the custom URL to forward it to the series page.
You can even forward emails directed to characters in the book series, common destinations such as your author name and "support" or "help" via the domain.
Q:Â How do you forward all these emails?
A: By creating simple forwarding records for all these emails to your email account (e.g. Gmail).
Why duplicate effort by creating an expensive and hard-to-maintain author website?Â Instead, create a simple Amazon Kindle eBook series page based on your current book descriptions and containing Amazon customer ratings and buy buttons as a landing page.Â Automatically include a list of all the books in the series on every Amazon book product description page for each book in the series.
Why write blog posts when you should instead be writing books?
Refer readers to a simple custom URL.Â Provide domain email accounts for your book's characters.
Q:Â What is the #1 reason you should use an Amazon Kindle eBook series page as your landing page instead of an author website?
A: Potential readers can buy directly from the Amazon series page (which is updated as you publish more books).Â In fact, Amazon goes so far as to offer the entire series for sale through a single mouse click.
This is simple.Â This is short.Â This is explained in depth and step-by-step in this course.
Q:Â What is the total cost of a forwarding domain?
A: About $9.42 for the first year.
Did that go a little too fast for you?Â No worries, simply enroll in the course for a slow-paced, step-by-step walkthrough of the entry process.Â Implement it at your pace.Â Own it for your lifetime.
I'll see you in the classroom,
--Brian

Instructor's Courses

1 OriginsI was born in the middle of the last century in Los Angeles, California. I graduated from Humboldt State University amid the redwoods of Northern California. After working for Lockheed Missiles and Space for 14 years as an IBM system programmer and Cisco Systems for 12 years as a test engineer, I retired at 48.I instantly became bored.2 Community CollegeIn response to my boredom, I enrolled in Columbia Community College to take writing, art, acting and statistics classes. I took 24 units over one year and received straight “A” 's.I was still bored.3 Writing and Self-publishingI began writing fiction and nonfiction books and self-publishing them on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Smashwords in July 2011. Though I wrote and published several books, my self-publishing business didn’t take off until my wife joined me.4 My Wife and Author, Melanie JacksonMelanie Jackson, my wife, was an author publishing over two romance novels per year through her New York publisher, Dorchester Press. After publishing 24 novels with Dorchester, the company folded, and Melanie was without a publisher (she wanted to write cozy mysteries anyway).I convinced Melanie to join me in self-publishing cozy mysteries on Amazon.5 The Self-publishing YearsFor the last fourteen years, from July 2010 until now (1/19/2024), my wife and I wrote and self-published cozy mysteries. At first, we continued to self-publish on Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Smashwords, but eventually chose to self-publish exclusively on Amazon. To date, I've self-published well over 100 of my wife’s books on Amazon.During the last ten years, from 2014 until now (1/19/2024), my wife and I have made precisely $498,420.01 self-publishing books on Amazon alone.6 My Wife and IWhen I say “my wife and I,” I mean that my wife did the writing, and I helped with the brainstorming, did half the editing, created the book covers, and self-published and marketed my wife’s books. So, my wife had it pretty good while I honed my writing, self-publishing and marketing skills.After about five years of self-publishing a book every two months, Melanie and I burned out and slowed way, waaayyy, doowwwnnn…7 UdemyI began publishing courses on Udemy, Skillshare and multiple other sites in July 2014, focusing on writing, self-publishing and book covers. Within ten weeks, I had published my first 10 Udemy courses. I currently (1/19/2024) publish almost exclusively on Udemy and have 36 Udemy courses to my name. I've made precisely $210,260.68 to date and will celebrate my 10th year on Udemy this July.I currently live in Las Vegas, Nevada, with my lovely wife and author, Melanie Jackson, and Butterscotch the cat.I'll see you in the classroom,---Brian
