Hey, thanks so much, Sean! It was great working with you. I appreciate the shout-out and I agree with everything you've said here. As an author myself who also works in book promotion, it's important to do your research into what you're actually getting with these services. :)
Very detailed and to the point presentation. Thanks for your transparency Sean. Congrats on the sponsorship.
So helpful!!! I was so confused trying to find someone and asking questions but getting unclear answers. Thank you 😊
Your content is so valuable!! Thanks so much for sharing!
ANOTHER really useful video!
Thank you for sharing!
Nice! Thanks, Sean.
Great video! I'll be sure to test out some of these gigs
Very helpful video, learnt a lot. Thank You!
Thanks for sharing this information.
Sean
A. I am ex military so I love the hair cut!
B. Great Great Video!!!!
You are the most tranparent of all self publishing vlogers which is why I purchased your course. I have been busy with other businesses but now this motivated me to put some more time into amazon even though they just raised their printing fees. PS got my ACOS from 70 to 37 in just two months. Maybe I will share the strategy in a upcoming post!
Congrats on the sponsorship! I hope fiverr reads the comments on how your video did to the audience. I’m willing to try a 1 gig out. Over all I like how you showed your experience in these type of gigs and gave your feedback. It was honest and informative. That’s why I’m willing to try 1 gig out for my own experience
honestly nothing beats good old organic traffic .. had my first 100 USD month on kdp with 3 books which is pretty awesome as i never expected to make any money 😀
Nice!! Keep it up!
Hi bro congratulations..!As I am about to start Amazon KDP I really want to know how much time it took from you to reach 100usd per month and are your books low content or high content
That was really helpful. Thanks.
Sean..as always good stuff,,thanks
Great Video Sean, Clear and concise. I learned a lot. I'll be back...
Great video, thanks
Always pragmatic and realistic content. 💚
Honest video thanks 🙏
I've been following you for some time and I always love your videos. That are straight-forward with no BS and no 'fake promises' of overnight success. Could you create a course for Amazon Ads? That would be something I think others would be very interested in. I've been on KDP for years and still haven't mastered ADs.
Thank you for the links.
Very cool... Thanks for sharing and glad you had fun spending that $600 BUCKS!
Great vid!! As you said, gigs like spammy newsletters etc are a waste of time. But leveraging existing traffic from promotional platforms are the way to go, esp with an influencer with proven engagement on social
Agree!
Kick ass video!
Best content as always 👍
Thanks!
Flawless, as usual
well done thanks
So what would you recommend hiring somebody to promote your book or ads?
Could you say something about how to choose the right age group for your book on English speaking markets. Any traps to fall into?
good video
Hello,
If we hire a person from Fiverr to make illustrations for a book, do we have to include the name of the author of the illustration in the book on Amazon KDP?
I build websites/SEO for a major company. They should hire you lol Love your videos! Cheers from Nova Scotia
@havealaugh5561 Haha I know, I'm just saying, he's better than most at this
Is Uber suggest free? i want to check some blogs
Thanks for the info. What type of books make up most of your proffit?
High content for sure
DUDE, #YouRock!! That's all I got to say.
I heard KDP doesn't like you use ghostwriters is that true ?
i spend 300 bucks on various book promotions because i don't have social media. (i'm permabanned on twitter, and my facebook is gimped). i saw exactly 1 sale in the year since i had those jobs done.
The thing with Fiverr is, it's a crap shoot regardless of what you're trying to do. There are a few who really have value, but a whole lot of crap as well.
I disagree, there’s a lot of gems on Fiverr you just need to find it. That goes for any freelance site actually. 9/10 will suck but one of them will be good
@@SeanDollwet You said you disagree then went on to paraphrase what he said :)
How do you create these tracable links?
So mostly vanity metrics.
I actually used Dr. Mel & got no sales at all. I wasted money 😢
Sorry to hear that 😕
How is it possible for you to get 1.9k klicks from monthly traffic of under 10k? That means 20% of the people visiting the site found your book interesting enough to click through to it?
Also, your Ubersuggest for Joel books says 9793 organic monthly visits.
Mine, four days after your video was published says 8,426.
Does it vary so much in just a few days? Or maybe did you film the segment quite a while ago?
These are just traffic estimates, usually low estimates since these tools can only see highly visible keyword traffic data, not traffic from low traffic long tail keywords, email blasts or social media. And yes the monthly traffic can fluctuate wildly especially for smaller sites with just a few prominent keywords.
@@ChrisJohnsonHome Well I used the service and will give it a week then report back here with the results.
Here's my report. I tried to post it on it's latest video but it got autodeleted.
I'm wondering how much of your advice is trustworthy.
A few videos back you did a Fiverr review and your final spend was with Joelbooks where you claimed to get 1,900 click throughs on your your book.
Not only is it hard to believe that 20% of the entire monthly traffic to that website clicked through to your book's Amazon listing, but I tried the service and even paid extra to get my book on the side bar so it was doubly listed and after four days of being listed, it has not generated even one single sale.
My book has an extremely attractive and professionally designed cover and is seen as a compelling purchase by those beyond this site. So although I'm not claiming it is best seller material, I would expect at least some sales based on the quality of my book and your claims about traffic to your own book listing page.
This is not sour grapes about a book not selling well. My book is selling ok via other sources but I put a hold on marketing it for a week so I could gauge the effectiveness of this site. It is incredulity at your claims to have driven almost two thousand visitors to the site to your Amazon listing page.
Of course, you didn't say how many of those 1,900 visitors to your listing purchased the book, but it would be expected that if they were interested enough to go to the listing, some of them would go the next step and order a copy.
After just under three days, I did ask them how many people clicked on my book to take a look at the expanded page for it on their site and I was told that just over one hundred had done so. By then, the book had moved ten or so places down the listing so it can be assumed that the majority of clicks would happen in the first few days.
So if you claimed to have had just under two thousand people click through to your Amazon listing, then it should be assumed that many times that would have clicked to look at the book on the website page and not all of them would have gone to your Amazon listing. Which means that based on your claim, half or more of the sites entire monthly traffic clicked on your book in the first few days (as after four or five days it would disappear from the front page).
Logic, common sense and my experience using that service all point to you not being honest about your results.
Would love to know if Fiverr responded to this.
Haha yes Fiverr confirmed that I can post this video
It’s positive, showing people how to think critically about what they order.
Terrible, I tried the recommended ones and really anyone thinking about doing the same. Save your money! They were all a waste of money. Not only did I have this experience, but a couple of other authors too!
Your videos are great, Sean, but I took your advice on Joel's books and was very disappointed with the results. They were terrible, in fact. Maybe he does better with non-fiction. My book was fiction.
Waste of money
First comment
Nice 😎
I'm sorry I had to comment - if you write books, how is it possible to have so many spelling errors on your video? Specifically "one's" and "here're". It's beyond me.
Unsubscribed
Strange...and we're meant to intuitively know what got their knickers in a tizz?
Lol
I would expect to see a comment like this one on an actual crappy video, Sean’s videos? If you don’t see the value in what he just put out here… see ya!😂
Sad Molly 🥲

Good point on 1.9 clicks out of 8k monthly traffic is a lot. It’s the truth though. I have no idea how it happened, but I’m just reporting my experience. Sorry to hear the gig didn’t work for you
@@SeanDollwet You could have deleted my comment but you have let it show. So even though I stand by my concerns, respect to you for allowing it and replying.
@@NR-rv8rz - the clicks are not unique I don't believe. Is that correct Sean? That means that if something was clicking the link over and over, it could count as 1.9K clicks but could potentially only be from a single browser. There is no way to know without much more advanced attribution and tracking happening.
Well, if there's no traffic, there's no exposure for sure. 🫥 Thanks for sharing.
What kind of books have you been marketing this way?
