post at Amazon, and asking readers to click through to their own site to
continue reading.
You can get more information and apply for an Amazon blog here:
After you apply for Amazon Connect, there’s a verification procedure
where your publisher or agent certifies you’re actually the book author
and are authorized to post materials about it on Amazon.
One fast way to add content to your Amazon Connect blog is by
repurposing material you’ve already used at your own blog. However, if
you use exactly the same material without much rewriting, Google and
other search engines may flag the post as “duplicate content.” More on
that later.
Listmania
Listmania lists allow any Amazon user—readers, authors, music-
lovers, movie buffs—to create lists of their favorite items organized by
theme. Listmanias appear in various places on Amazon, like product
detail pages and alongside search results. Listmanias that mention your
book can expose your title to thousands of potential readers on Amazon,
and can even appear in Google search results.
Listmanias are ranked by popularity among shoppers, based on
viewership and the number of votes calling it “helpful.” For example, one
popular list is dedicated to novelist Nick Hornby, and was compiled by
one of his fans. Under each novel is a pithy quote from the Listmania
author, just enough to convey the gist of each book and why it appears.
The list includes most of Hornby’s books, other books Hornby edited or
wrote introductions for, and a few other novels by writers with similar
styles. See this list at:
