Thanks a lot Dave.

I just want to ask if I can say that? You are wonderful, you are selfless. May you be blessed for always, for your generosity. I have been doing the wrong thing over and over, with over fifty books and crying for it. Not able to sell 20 dollars from all.

I hope I’ll be better now.

It’s like I’m yet to see another open-minded person everywhere I’ve ever been. Thanks again for this article.

In reply to Anne. Honestly, both and either. What I mean by that is, if you have a creative fun title, and it doesn't incorporate the use of data driven words, then DEFINITELY use the data driven words in the subtitle. But if you don't, then use that data to help you formulate something.

Hi Dave, question on choosing findable titles for new non-fiction authors /
When giving a book a title, is it better to use a main title with good stats on Rocket and follow it up with another title the way this author did below:

“You Are a Badass Every Day: How to Keep Your Motivation Strong, Your Vibe High, and Your Quest for Transformation Unstoppable”

Or is it better to keep a title to a minimum of a few words searchable based on what people are searching for in google? I’m taking a course and we are using Rocket to determine our titles, however, they are saying to keep it short. I am thinking I should find as many key words people are searching for in my title so it’s findable? I appreciate any thoughts.

In reply to Dennis. Yes they do - so that phrase will break into the other phrases as well.

Does Amazon (KDP) still publish books or do you have to use an outside vendor?

Hi Dave, just picked up Publisher Rocket and test driving it now.

A question about keywords.

Does Amazon break a string of keywords into its parts?

So will “better husband communication skills” potentially rank for “better husband”, “communication skills”, and “husband communication skills?”

In reply to Ramim. Yes, it will show up somewhere in the search for those phrases.

If I enter keywords in one of the 7 fields which is something like
“coloring book for kids boy girl men women teens” • does this mean
that my book could show up in search results if someone search for a
“coloring book for kids”, as well as a “coloring book for girl”, as well as
a “coloring book for teens” etc…? Or i use per box as a “coloring book for kids”, as well as a “coloring book for girl”, as well as
a “coloring book for teens” etc “Please Give some correct example how i
use the 7 boxes keywords.

In reply to Ranjana. You're right in that the title and subtitle are more powerful. If it doesn't detract from the title, then you're good to go

Hey Dave, I have created a daily journal on gratitude and positivity. I did some research on Publisher Rocket (which is a godsend, btw!) and came up with a bunch of relevant keywords. The title of the book has a few relevant keywords and sounds natural and coherent, so I know that there’s nothing keyword stuff-y about it.

I was wondering if it’s a good idea to also include ‘A 66-day positive thinking journal and diary’ as the subtitle or would that be key-word stuffing?

I could, of course, include ‘positive thinking journal’ and ‘positivity diary’ in the keyword fields. But from what I understand, the phrases work better when used in the title.

Would love to hear your thoughts. Thanks!
