Your book description  is the blurb that appears on your book's page on Amazon. If a potential buyer arrives on your page and isn't hooked with your description, you won't make a sale. A good description gives readers a clear sense of what your book is about, while building up curiosity for them to know more.

Categories refer to the genres and sub-genres your book is classified under book-buying sites. Amazon allows your book to be added to 3 categories. Selecting good ones is crucial. Your category selection determines the bestseller lists you have a chance to appear on, plus helps readers interested in your genre to notice your book.

Keywords are another way readers can notice your book. Amazon lets you add 7 keywords for your book. When readers are ready to buy their next book, they often enter phrases into Amazon's search bar to specify the sort they're looking for. Quality keywords can propel your book to the top of the search results for ready-to-buy readers in your genre.  

To self-publish a book on Amazon, you not only need a description, categories, and keywords, but a cover, interior file for your e-book, and interior and exterior files for your paperback.

Theoretically, yes, you can write your own book description and come up with your own categories and keywords. However, in most cases, we wouldn't recommend this.

Unless you have copywriting experience, your description likely won't be as effective as one written by an expert. Plus, doing this yourself can take time, while letting a professional handle it will free up multiple hours in your schedule. 

Choosing good categories and keywords entails a fine balance between reach, relevance, and competition. Experts have access to data-analyis tools that enable them to make well-informed decisions. Researching categories and keywords yourself, without a tool, can not only take a lot of time, but lead to choices that hurt your book's visibility on Amazon.

At Galdi Media, we can get you a great description, categories, and keywords, without you doing any of the work.

If you're self-publishing your book, you have four main options for getting a description, categories, and keywords:

1.) Doing it yourself. This can eat up a lot of your time. Plus, unless you're an expert copywriter who has access to a data-analysis tool, you likely won't be as effective as a professional.

2.) Hiring a freelancer. Though many good freelancers are out there, plenty of them overpromise and under-deliver. Knowing whether or not you're choosing an effective one can be hard. Plus, if you go with a freelancer, you'll have to spend time managing the project. 

3.) Working with another company that provides self-publishing services. Though other companies provide similar services as Galdi Media, many force authors into restrictive, lifetime contracts that claim a significant percentage of a book's royalties. In addition, your point of contact at these companies likely won't be its president, or a #1 bestselling author.

4.) Partnering with Galdi Media. Your point of contact will be Ted Galdi, our president, and a #1 bestselling author. He'll give you customized advice to make your book a success. You won't have to do any copywriting, research, or project management. Ted will make sure experts from his network handle everything for you. Because he believes authors should keep 100% of their earnings, you won't be asked to give over a royalty percentage, or to sign any contracts at all.
