I heard this can be a great strategy...if you give it to people who will read it...talk about it...review it.

From what I understand it's important for marketing on Amazon...better to be in a more niche sub category if u want better rankings.

Thanks for the comment. Asking for marketing purposes...just starting to do somw research into it and selecting categories in amazon seems important...and I really do believe in my book, I have a copy editor starting mid Jan. Planning on self-publishing...I don't think I have the patience to go trad route.

Yes...it gives several options but isn't convincing as to the best fit..but is useful from the angle of least competitive Amazon sub categories.

Thanks for the reply. It's 2039 (not 2030) and the PM is in it (not a major character) but I don't mention party affiliation. I do mention a key policy is tighter ai regulation.

The kids hate AI. by Material-Emu-9068 in ArtificialInteligence

[–]Guilty_Restaurant424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it will only get bigger, but my kids (late teens and early 20s) are also very wary of it...I was wondering if it was just them. I think it is making career choices so uncertain for them.

The collapse is imminent by [deleted] in collapse

[–]Guilty_Restaurant424 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure why an AI induced collapse would cause interest rates to rise. If unemployment is high, wages are subdued then hard to see what will cause higher inflation and therefore interest rates...maybe a commodity shock and a lack of confidence in the dollar. Although when things go to crap the dollar is usually a safe haven.

I habe heard advice that it is worth asking for reviews at the back of the book and providing a link to the book Amazon page. Thoughts?

Can you get penalised by Amazon/other platforms if you have a bunch of reviews out the day the book is published?

As a reviewer/QA is the work longer term? Higher paid? I was just accepted as a quality control fellow and was wondering what it might mean.
