Creating Your Book’s Detail Page On Amazon

After you’ve finished signing up on Amazon, the next step is to create your book’s detailed page. A book’s detail page is where you give every detail about your book which then encourages the readers to buy it.

The details you enter here include: the title of the book, the subtitle, author name, series information, ISBN and whether your book is available in ebook format, paperback or hardcover.

Remember, every detail you enter here needs to be as accurate as possible because this is the place where readers come and actually buy your book.

Writing Your Professional Book Description:

The next step in getting your masterpiece to become a best seller is to write a professional book description, remember the book description and the keywords present in it are both key to increasing your book sales on Amazon.

Let’s first discuss where can you write your book description on Amazon:

1. Go to your Amazon KDP profile by signing up
2. Go to your Bookshelf
3. Next to the book you want to update, click the ellipsis button ("…").
4. Select Edit Details
5. Under Description, make the necessary edits. Note that we have a limit of 4000 characters for the description.
6. Click Save and Continue.
7. At the bottom of the Pricing page, click Publish.

To write your book description you can follow the steps mentioned below:

• Describe the plot, main theme or idea only. Do not complicate things, write in a 150 word paragraph and use simple words so that every reader can understand it.
• Avoiding overwhelming and confusing words can make your book description look compelling.
• Avoid grammatical errors and misspelled words in your book description, your book description should look professional and engaging for readers.

Here is an example of a professional looking book description:

A best selling ride to the mucky little village of Bear Creek and encounter with an assortment of uncourth cutthroats, outlaws, and troubled family. A richly genuine and incredibly dramatic tale of a Range-cum-rescuer, Jacob Tanner. Jacob is one of the few Rangers capable of outrunning the bandits, but a dispute with the criminal might cost a lot more than a ranch. A best selling modern cowboy classic with a touch of literary sophistication.

Keywords And Category Are Essential:

For your book to become successful you must add relevant keywords as well as your book’s category. The keywords are important because they increase the chance of your book being discovered by readers.

Here are some tips on how you can add the right keywords:

• Keywords should be present in a logical order.
• Use up to seven keywords or short phrases and keep an eye on the character limit
• Before publishing the keywords that you have selected try searching them yourself, if you see irrelevant results then try changing your keywords.

Categories are an essential part of the Amazon KDP store, because readers usually search the books, they want to read by the category that they actually want to read a book about. Add the category that best fits your book’s genre for example; if your book is about cowboy fiction, then you should add it in the fiction and adventure category.
