This is one of the most common questions I get, the answer is… it depends on your topic. For most nonfiction books, a solid range is 20,000–50,000 words. That’s usually enough to clearly teach something, solve a problem, or guide your reader to a specific result. But here’s the key 👇Longer does NOT always mean better. I’ve seen shorter books perform really well because they are: - Focused - Easy to consume - Straight to the point If your book delivers a clear transformation or solves a specific problem, people will buy it...regardless of length. That said, there’s a business side to this too… 💡 More pages = higher printing costs Which means your royalties can get squeezed if you're not paying attention. 👉 If you want to run the numbers yourself, you can use Amazon’s calculator here: https://kdp.amazon.com/en_US/royalty-calculator PRO TIP: During formatting, you can strategically adjust things like: - Font size - Line spacing - Margins This can help reduce page count (and printing costs) while still keeping your book clean and professional. At the end of the day, don’t focus on hitting a specific word count—focus on delivering value. That’s what actually sells books 💰

🚨 BIG UPDATE 🚨 Amazon just rolled out a new policy change for KDP… and this one is kind of wild 😳 Starting immediately, outsourcing is no longer allowed. That means: - You have to write your own manuscript - No AI tools - No ghostwriters Everything must be 100% written by YOU moving forward. Welp… looks like I’m finally going to have to sit down and start writing all my own books 😅 … .. .. … April Fools 😂 But real talk—this is exactly why learning how to build systems around your publishing (including outsourcing) is such a game-changer. It’s how you scale without burning yourself out.

📚 Most Authors Skip This… and It’s Costing Them Sales If your book isn’t converting the way you expected, there’s a good chance you’re missing one of the easiest upgrades you can make to your listing… 👉 A+ Content. This is the section on your Amazon listing where you can add visuals, graphics, and enhanced descriptions—and it’s one of the most overlooked opportunities in self-publishing. Most authors either: - Don’t know it exists - Think it’s complicated - Or just never get around to doing it Meanwhile… It’s sitting there as free marketing space that can help your book stand out and actually convert browsers into buyers. Think about it like this: Your cover gets the click… but your listing gets the sale. A+ Content helps you: - Build trust with your reader - Visually explain what your book is about - Highlight benefits (not just features) - Make your listing look more professional And the best part? You can create it using simple tools like Canva. 🎥 I just dropped a video breaking down exactly how to create A+ Content step-by-step so you can go implement this TODAY. If you already have books published, go check your bookshelf after watching and ask yourself: “Am I leaving money on the table?” Watch the video and let me know if you’re adding A+ Content to your books 👇

I added a new about video to my Skool about page today. I am letting you all know because I want to get YOUR feedback on it since you're already here in this community. Let me know if you like it and if you think it will help other people come on over and start their publishing journey, or give me feedback if you think it's not a good fit. Thanks 💖
