The best way to help people find your book is to give them the keywords they need to discover it. The best time to test keywords is before you publish, while you are writing and producing your book. Yet most authors procrastinate because keywords (aka metadata) sound mysterious and technically challenging. Don’t make the mistake of waiting to create your book description, author bio, and keywords until you are ready to publish. Follow these steps to incorporate keywords from the beginning, and launch your book with a splash.

Already published? You can refine your keywords at any time so use these techniques to see how people have been finding your book and make it easier for others.

In this session you’ll learn:

- how to monopolize the different kinds of metadata and keywords

- when to start your keyword research

- how to experiment with keywords to find out what works and what doesn’t

- how to insure your book appears higher in search results

- tools that can help with keyword research

You’ll also get Carla’s Metadata Worksheet and the Author Friendly Guide to Book Discovery.
