Copy That Pops: Writing Tips and Psychology Hacks for Business 178: 9 Spots to Get Social Proof That Your Book Hit Bestseller on Amazon [Featuring Bestselling Author Client Mark Wills]
Wanna see what it looks like to be a #1 bestselling author on your launch day? I pull back the curtain!
Read (and watch) below for the 9 spots to look for proof you got bestseller...SEE it in action the day that my private client Mark Wills went live with his book!
9 Spots to Get Social Proof That Your Book Hit Bestseller on Amazon [the video!]
In last week's episode I revealed my big SECRET...which, if you missed it, is that I am pregnant! Due September 20th.
My husband and I do know the gender at this point, but we are keeping that a secret until after the baby shower. I do not want a pink or blue explosion of gender-stereotypical decor and gifts.
Also, if we have a girl, her name will be gender-neutral or something often used for boys. So, her name will not be anything like Laura, Michelle, Ashley, Monica, or the like.
Fun fact. ;)
As I shared in episode 177 about being pregnant, super sick and tired all the time, and needing to cut back on things to get more efficient in my business, I mentioned repurposing.
So, I thought to try that for this podcast episode.
On April 23rd, a private client of mine named Mark Wills went live with his book on Amazon...which you can find it directly from the link CopyThatPops.com/mark … and he hit #1 bestseller in over 12 categories in the U.S.
I sat down the evening of his launch to record an updated video for my Bestselling Book Accelerator showing my clients in that effective group program both what it looks like to be a bestseller and the 9 spots to get screenshots to prove your feat.
Recently, I've heard that none of my competitors in this space are teaching that!
I have since day one when I first launched my group program in June of 2017, but it was time for another update of the screenflow, since Amazon does make updates to how things look.
Long story short, this episode is the stripped audio from that video tutorial.
If, as you listen, you wish you could SEE what I am showing on the screen, just head back to the shownotes at CopyThatPops.com/178 and you'll find an embedded video there of the exact same content, but with the visuals.
I hope it's a useful episode even with audio only, but the video is available to you for free, even if you are not yet in the Accelerator!
Without further ado...let's jump in!
