Welcome to the last part of the Secret ABCs of Going Bestseller. These are the secrets which a lot of people don’t know about and they don’t tell you about either. 

Being Visible: The Key to Author Success

Visibility is important for your author career or your business career. If you want to go bestseller with your book, now, a lot of people say, “I’ll get a lot of following and then I’ll write a bestseller.” But here’s another way of looking at it: you can get a book out there first, and that will help you gain a following. If you are unknown, one of the best ways to get noticed is by publishing a bestselling book. After that, you gain a following. It’s a bit contradictory, but it works in many different ways.

Setting Up Your Amazon Author Profile

I’ve seen a lot of people, even traditionally published authors, who don’t have an author profile up because the publisher didn’t bother. As an indie author, it’s vital to have a good author profile. Amazon gives you this site called AuthorCentral, where you can set up your author profile with just about anything you like. Amazon wants you to sell more books because they make more money, so they go out of their way to help you make sales.

Navigating Amazon AuthorCentral

So let’s dive into Amazon AuthorCentral. As an author, you can see what books you have, view your sales rank, customer reviews, and how your author page looks to readers in different countries. This feature allows you to see how your profile appears in places like the US and UK, even though I’m based in Australia.

The Importance of a Professional Author Bio

One of the most crucial parts of your author profile is your author bio. It should tell readers about yourself and try to connect with them. For instance, I share that I was a technical writer and that I love to read and write. Since my books are about hiking, I also mention my background as an army brat in India and my love for adventure. This helps readers relate to me and understand my passion for writing.
