Excellent episode. Really important. Many thanks

Great interview! Thanks, Dave Chesson, for all you provide the indie author community. My big takeaway from this episode is how important it is to align all your Amazon metadata, categories, keywords, and wording of the page description. I never looked at all of those components together and realized what could be done to better focus on the chosen categories.

Fabulous interview. Love Dave Chesson and everything he does. Can he tell advise how to alter the categories in other marketplaces, other than our main one (US for me although I’m in the UK) Thank you!
