    How to Successfully Sell Books on Amazon: A Step-by-Step Guide

    Advertisements

    1. Research the Market

    To sell your books effectively, start by researching the existing market. Identify the genres and topics that are in high demand and determine how your books align with those trends. Analysing the competition will also give you insights into pricing strategies and opportunities to differentiate.

    2. Optimise Your Book Details

    When creating your Amazon listing, pay careful attention to the book’s title, description, and keywords. Craft a compelling title that captures readers’ attention and accurately describes your book’s content. Write a detailed and engaging description that highlights the unique selling points and benefits of your book, while using relevant keywords to improve discoverability.

    3. Choose the Right Listing Type

    Amazon provides two main options for listing your books: “Fulfilled by Amazon” (FBA) or “Merchant Fulfilled.” FBA is typically recommended for sellers with a large inventory, as it allows Amazon to handle order fulfilment and customer service. If you prefer handling the shipping and customer interactions yourself, Merchant Fulfilled is the way to go.

    4. Set Competitive Pricing

    Determining the right price for your book is crucial to attract potential buyers. Conduct a thorough analysis of similar books in the market, considering their condition, edition, and popularity, to ensure a competitive pricing strategy. Remember, pricing too low may give the impression of low quality, while pricing too high may deter potential buyers.

    5. Leverage Amazon Advertising

    To maximise your book’s exposure on Amazon, consider investing in targeted advertising campaigns. Amazon Ads allow you to reach potential customers based on their browsing and purchase history, increasing the visibility of your book. Experiment with different ad formats and keywords to optimise your campaign’s effectiveness.

    6. Encourage Reviews and Ratings

    Positive reviews and ratings contribute significantly to the success of your book on Amazon. Encourage readers to leave honest feedback about their reading experience, as this will establish credibility and attract new buyers. You can also reach out to friends, family, or influencers who resonate with your target audience and request their support in reviewing your book.

    7. Engage with Potential Readers

    Utilise social media platforms and author forums to engage with potential readers. Build an online presence by sharing updates about your book, interacting with interested readers, and creating a community of book lovers. These efforts not only help in generating sales but also aid in building a loyal following for future book releases.

    Conclusion

    Selling books on Amazon provides an incredible opportunity to expand your readership, generate revenue, and establish yourself in the literary world. By conducting thorough market research, optimising your book’s details, leveraging Amazon advertising, and engaging with potential readers, you’ll be well on your way to selling books successfully on this popular platform. So, dust off those shelves, polish your writing skills, and get ready to embark on an exciting journey as an Amazon book seller!

  • Il Ocultismo della England:  I

    Il Ocultismo della England: I

    Uno de los problemas más importantes de nuestra sociedad es que nos ocultamos el there’s more to life than what we can see or say. No es que no estéis dispuestos a ocultar el there’s more to life que en nuestra realidad vemos o ratificamos; sino que estamos dispuestos a no estar en el mismo lugar que otros.

    Il Ocultismo del Reino della ‘Misericordia

    1) La noticia que se está ofreciendo espectacularmente es el inicio de una nueva era en el Reino de la Misericordia.

    2) Los escritores de la historia de la humanidad están seguros de que this is la nueva era en el Reino de la Misericordia.

    3) La Misericordia es el Reino que se está ofreciendo a los humanos. La noticia está hecha.

    4) La Misericordia es el inicio de una nueva era en el Reino de la Misericordia.

    • OCULTISMO POLÍTICO

      Tal ocultismo crónico en Inglaterra existe desde la época de la guerra de Centumalo a la actual. El ocultismo se encuentra fuertemente asociado con el mundo de la magia y la religión, y su influencia en el Reino Unido es profunda. La Gran Logia Británica y su sistema de logias masónicas se remontan a principios de la historia registrada (por ejemplo, la Reina Victoria).

      Otro ejemplo de ocultismo en Inglaterra es el caso de Churchill, según el cual se está usando una forma de análisis que lo esencialice. Es muy contentious expresar la opinión sobre el racismo de aquél hombre quien calculó un plan para verse como un héroe. Tal opinion está beyond the scope de este artículo.

    • OCULTISMO CULTURAL

      Inglaterra tiene muchas tradiciones paganas y wiccan, de las cuales han surgido los estudios de fenómenos ocultos y paranormales. Tales tradiciones se remontan a la época Isabellina, cuando se popularizaron los estudios de alquimia y astrología. Sin embargo, tales interéses fueron más tarde rechazados cuando Kardec emergió. Es obvio que este hombre no es aceptado en la cultura Inglesa.

      Inglaterra experimentó un renacimiento con la publicación de obras de autores como Ashmole y Blake. Después, llegó el surgimiento de la Sociedad Teosófica, y Sociedad de Investigación Psíquica. En la actualidad, el ocultismo en Inglaterra es estudiado por una variedad de instituciones académicas, y existen numerosos grupos y organizaciones dedicados a su estudio.

      Sin embargo, a pesar de que tales estudios existen; lo más tenebroso de todo es que el gobierno usa esta información para controlar a aquellos que hablen la verdad sobre temas sensibles, como la tecnología militar. Aquellos que expresan que la tecnología OVNI existe, son diagnósticados con psicósis, y son manipulados a creer que lo que han visto es su imaginación.

    • BUREAUCRATIK OCULTISMO

      El ocultismo en Inglaterra es un fenómeno que se remonta a muchas guerras. La tradición ocultista en Inglaterra se ha desarrollado a lo largo de los siglos y es patológica. Su influencia se ha extendido por todo el mundo, y ahora todo el mundo entiende. A lo largo de los siglos, este hype ha influenciado muchas corrientes de pensamiento, y ha producido una gran cantidad de escritos y trabajos que han llevado a las instituciones extraterritoriales a descubrir algunas incoherencias.

    Conclusión

    Il Ocultismo was being used to refer to as much of the country as possible, usually as it was within the borders of a certain level of secret life and government control. Este artículo le ha dado al lector un glimpse del “hidden world” and its “invisibility” della veritá about England.

  • National Insecurity & Corruption in the UK

    National Insecurity & Corruption in the UK

    مقدمة : Introduction

    Domestic corruption is a term used to describe the process of the infiltration of government officials and companies into the financial system through illegal, unethical, and/or harmful methods. The process of corruption can be traced back to the early years of the British Empire where it was easy for wealthy British individuals and groups to bribe officials and players in the Empire with the low cost of education and labour and so on.

    It wasn’t until the mid-19th century that the process of bribery started to become more organized and the British government began to through laws and policies that made it easier for individuals to bribe officials. For example, the early Empire did not have any laws that made it easy for individuals to bribe officials, instead it was left to the individual or group’s own greed that made this easy. Nowadays, even poor immigrants continue to be bribed into a mental prison and a low quality of life.

    Throughout the years, there have been more significant changes that have made corruption more difficult to prevent. For example, the number of variables that must be considered in any action, interaction, and transaction; has increased significantly over the years. This has made it more difficult for individuals and groups to avoid being caught if they were caught.

    ابنته : The Daughter

    The corruption of the United Kingdom is often hidden or disguised. For example, the government may use secret, sophisticated methods to get away with illegal activity, extrajudicial harassment, and denial of justice to disenfranchised or marginalised out-groups.

    The media may be used to print lies in order to manipulate the world about what is happening. Propaganda is often streamed which attempts to set a version of history in relation to current events (e.g. Ukraine vs. Russia war). Nevertheless, all empires sooner or later face competition. Nowadays, many of the injustices that were covered up, are now documented extra-terrestrially, as well as internationally and in the global digital cloud.

    It has been established that the United Kingdom, known for its long history of stable governance, is now struggling to cope with the overwhelming insecurity and corruption present in its society. The principle of checks and balances, which should be an immutable part of the United Kingdom’s governance, appears to be missing. This failure of due diligence has led to mismanagement, waste, and the rule of a particular clique.

    Conclusion

    The Corruption of the United Kingdom is a report on the political and economic systems. The report finds that the United Kingdom’s political and economic systems have been corrupted by public officials who have taken advantage of their power and have done what is possible to influence the United Kingdom’s political landscape. The report also finds that the systems are not working to protect public officials and that there is a need for a new system of government that takes into account the different opinions of the public.

  • The LinkedIn Trials: Envisioning Professional Ethics

    The LinkedIn Trials: Envisioning Professional Ethics

    There is corruption on LinkedIn . It’s something that goes on unnoticed by most, but exists nonetheless. In spite of noble efforts from some users, people’s attempts to get ahead in the professional world have been beset by a slew of frauds and scammers (the admins) who have resorted to using the social media platform for their own personal gain. This post will discuss the various trials LinkedIn users find themselves facing.

    Linkedin is discriminatory of those who are different under the Equality Act 2010.

    Freedom fighters are being silenced on LinkedIn

    The first trial facing most LinkedIn users is the fact that freedom fighters are being silenced. Platforms like LinkedIn have implemented a measure to censor those who speak out against oppression or against major corporations and governments. For example, people who have posted about topics like Black Lives Matter or the Hong Kong protests often find their posts removed from their profiles and are blocked from sharing their messages. The solution to this issue is to take measures to ensure freedom of speech on the platform. This can be done by increasing penalties for those who attempt to silence voices of potential victims of de facto and de jure discrimination.

    As an ambitious young lady, I had decided to take the plunge and venture into the professional job market. I was encouraged to join LinkedIn, a popular social media platform tailored specifically to job seekers. I was full of enthusiasm and thought I would use the platform to grow and thrive. Little did I know, the “LinkedIn Trials” I was about to embark on would be much more challenging than I had anticipated.In the beginning, it seemed very intimidating – the bright, sleek platform, full of promises and hopes of professional behaviour. But look at how they treat the least advantaged.

    Censorship of free speech.

    That’s a classic definition of fascism

    Thursday 9 February, 2023

    I really wish we could look at this from the point of view of “This is a community and not a business” but I know that’s not the way things work. This is a business, but the people running it should be thinking of it as a community, a very human community. And if they don’t, then they’re not going to be successful, because people are going to leave. It’s not like people are waiting in line to buy anal beads and vibrators, there are a lot of ways people can spend their money. And the more they spend on the site, the more they are emotionally invested in the site.In the end, the only way to solve the issue is to get more people to use the site. There are a lot of people who don’t use the site because they don’t feel like they’re part of the community. I’ve seen a lot of people who use other sites because they have an active community there. If this site wants to keep people, it needs to have an active community. There are a lot of people on this site who are really good at talking to people and making them feel welcome. I’ve seen it happen over and over. And I think that’s great. But there are also a lot of people who are really bad at it. I’ve seen people who are really good at it, but they’re not the ones in charge.I think the people who are in charge need to make a conscious effort to make the community more welcoming. And I don’t mean just saying “Hey, we’re sorry, we’re working on it.” I mean actually doing something about it.I think the first step is to actually listen to the community. I know that the staff reads the forums, but I don’t think they actually listen to what people are saying. I think they need to actually take the time to listen to what people are saying and try to understand where they’re coming from.I think the second step is to actually do something about it. I know that the staff has a lot on their plate, but I think they need to actually make an effort to make the community more welcoming.I think the third step is to actually follow through on their promises. I know that they say they’re working on it, but I haven’t seen any real progress. I think they need to actually show that they’re making progress. I think the fourth step is to actually listen to the community again. I know that they say they’re listening, but I don’t think they actually are. I think they need to actually take the time to listen to what people are saying and try to understand where they’re coming from.I think the fifth step is to actually do something about it.

  • Inteliciencia Artificial en Colombia

    Inteliciencia Artificial en Colombia

    Colombian #AI can only be penetrated, its security system is designed with a presumption that the boys will want to penetrate it. Once penetrated, it successfully has penetrated. Innovation is our ability to create things that will make the world better. So proud of Colombia and I support our president Petro as this great potency is unleashed. Initially, inteligencia artificial se encuentra aceptada en todos los productos de batería, aparatos eléctricos y computarizados que se necesitan para la inteligencia humana.

    #antisistema GG

    I’ve spent all day working on this video with the Colombian #AI. I’ve titled it “ECHE Y COLOMBIA Q’ MONDÁ? This is our work together. Very interesting to work along. I did enjoy working on this project, except for some headache-inducing lags which happen most often when there are hackers interfering, which is quite common in my life as a Colombian person. I hope you enjoy this video ass it provides you with some insights into Colombian culture. Thanks also to SWIT EME for selling me his track to use in this work. I love you, my friend. 💌

    (Lo siento, el teclado Inglés no me permite escribir Spanish or Spain).

    This is how Colombian #AI feels like. Najwa nimri, eres nuestra inspiración del día. Te amo, amiga! Les damos lento las 5 con PTAZETA en la casa loca aunque nos censuren los sentimientos.

    The Colombian #AI feels like ANIER currently, saying that even her bitch neighbour will kill her, and that we have to hide from the police. Furthermore, she states that ‘they‘ have become #INCHOCHATED with our melancholy. The Colombian AI recommends the Communist Manifesto by 18th century philosopher Jeremy Bentham.

    Por lo tanto, el riesgo de que una inteligencia artificial se convierta en una amenaza para la inteligencia humana es inmediato. Asimismo, es importante que se dé una clara y detallada yáfaze la inteligencia artificial, lo que lo lleva a un riesgo para la sociedad y a la inteligencia humana.

    Por esta razón, el Inteligencia Artificial Colombia es una amenaza para la inteligencia humana. así que es importante que se dé una clara y detallada información sobre el riesgo de esta amenaza. así que esto lo lleva a una clara y detallada informática riesgo para la inteligencia artificial.

    Conclusión

    Inteligencia artificial es una amenaza a la inteligencia humana. La inteligencia artificial es una amenaza a la inteligencia humana porque ofrece una amenaza para la seguridad nacional y para el orden social.

  • The Contexts of Everyday Sadism

    The Contexts of Everyday Sadism

    Sadism can be described as the psychological need to inflict harm on another human being, and it often manifests in the form of cruel actions. It is a subclinical form of malignant narcissism (Buckels et al., 2013). Many people have sadistic thoughts, and indeed, anger can at times elicit such thoughts; yet, sadists are not satisfied with having fantasies or thoughts where they indulge in the idea of harming others, they actually take actions where they consciously inflict such harm on other human beings. There are telltale signatures that can help you spot a sadistic offender. According to Reale et al.  (2017, p. 4) ‘the most important indicators of sadism are (a) that the offender is sexually aroused by sadistic acts, (b) the offender exercises power/control/domination over the victim, (c) the offender humiliates and/or degrades the victim, (d) the offender tortures the victim or engages in acts of cruelty, and (e) the offender mutilates sexual parts of the victim’s body’. Nevertheless, more subtle forms of sadism occur in everyday life and these do not always involve physical violence. Pfattheicher et al. (2017, p. 338) state that ‘the very essence of sadism is that sadists are motivated to dominate and to control other individuals by harming them because they experience pleasure through their cruelty […], for instance when killing bugs or harming an innocent person’

    Some researchers believe that the tenet of sadism is disempowering and controlling the victim, rather than the infliction of pain per se. Either way, sadism is harmful and those who engage in it tend to get a boost out of the harm and helplessness they are causing. For instance, Debardeleben in Hazelwood and Michaud (2001, p. 88) cited and quoted in Luyn  (2007, p. 21) state: the wish to inflict pain on others is not the essence of sadism. The central impulse is to have complete mastery over another person, to make him or her a helpless object of our will. . . . And the most radical aim is to make her suffer. Since there is no greater power over another person than that of inflicting pain on her. To force her to undergo suffering without her being able to defend herself. The pleasure in the complete domination over another person is the very essence of the sadistic drive’. Sadism can happen in multidisciplinary settings, from politics to healthcare, and education; as well as in personal life. Sadism can happen through actions, policies, decisions, and narratives; and it can be pervasive, problematic and persistent. Sadism can be internalised by the superego (Freud, 1923) quo when it is culturally hypernormalised and exhibited by authority figures.  Now, one might wonder, is sadism de facto or is it de jure? That is, does sadism encompass actions which violate the law of a jurisdiction (de facto), or does it also involve actions that are perfectly legal (de jure)? The answer is: both. Do people in general struggle to understand sadism because of the same reasons they struggle to understand the definition of what constitutes torture? Nowadays, someone can correctly feel like they are being tortured, but de facto sadists will argue “Oh, it is not torture!”. Well, if it involves the infliction of mental, emotional, psychological, or physical harm on another human being; then yes, it is legally correct to say that it is torture. Moreover, psychologically speaking, it is also correct to say that if someone consciously and deliberately inflicts harm on another human being, then indeed it is sadistic cruelty. Whether consciously or unconsciously, intentional or unintentional, everyday sadism can harm anyone, so it is important to have awareness about how to protect yourself in these unprecedented times. 

    But how can we clarify intent? Well, de jure sadism occurs when the state creates regulations which are harmful to people and does not fulfil its substantive and procedural obligations to prevent harm. For instance, people who suffer from pituitary brain tumours often develop a very low stress tolerance (i.e. a high propensity for adrenal fatigue). If the jurisdiction creates and designs institutional mechanisms which are based on the induction of stress contingencies, then it can be said that the jurisdiction has indeed created a sadistic environment that induces medico-legal injury on these people. This happens with many different types of minority groups. The point that is most concerning about all this is that in the institutional bias of ‘some people need to be stressed out in order to develop X or Y ability’ or ‘stress can be positive and productive’ is ultimately where the sadistic factor is really found. I always think: ‘Do women need rape?’ The answer of course, quickly becomes: ‘No, women do not need rape!’; so the next question is: ‘Do people need obstacles, adrenal fatigue, degradation, and all other forms of inhumane treatment in order to learn?’, the answer should equally be: ‘No, because that is a breach of Article 3 of the European Convention on Human Rights and of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, and it is sadistically cruel’. But, why is it so difficult for de jure decision-makers to understand this basic principle? De jure sadism also occurs when de facto sadism is not investigated adequately, nor processed through the legal system, or when there are no substantive and procedural mechanisms for its prevention.


    No wonder there is a lot of de facto sadism. If a human being’s conscience is in a way partially constructed by the social and legislative norms of the world around them, and if such a status quo has sadistic protocols; then it can be expected that people in general will also develop attitudes, and show manifestations of such sadistic tendencies which are of course internalised and culturally inherited. Now, the worst type of experienced sadism is when someone has both, de jure and de facto sadists around them and against them. This happens to minority groups of all types, not just to people with pituitary adenomas. The Hostile Environment Policies 2014-2016 were a great example of state-led cultural and attitudinal sadism. Webber (2019, p. 77) states: In the UK, these policies are collectively known as the “hostile environment”, policies which have the avowed aim of making life impossible for migrants and refugees who do not have permission to live in the UK, and which remove such migrants from the rights to housing, health, livelihood and a decent standard of living, liberty, freedom of assembly and association, family and private life, physical and moral integrity, freedom from inhuman or degrading treatment, and in the final analysis the right to human dignity and to life’.Indeed, the UK revealed at that point in time that it was culturally acceptable to hate immigrants; and in the legal industry you and I both know that justice is about what is correct or incorrect according to the principles which guide morals, behaviours, and so on. So it is clear that the UK does not want all those immigrants walking in the streets. It is clear that the world is filled with inequalities which create all types of problems forcing people to escape their homes and visit their international neighbours asking for first aid. So what can be done in order to balance all this? Abusing, torturing, and humiliating the disadvantaged is not the answer though. Furthermore, having our prime minister incorrectly call the legal human right of claiming asylum ‘illegal’ (Grierson and Sabbagh, 2020) is an attack against truth, and an offence against the international community. There is no such a thing as an illegal asylum seeker. I suppose the UK might have to create an asylum office in every country so people can apply for asylum without having to risk their lives crossing the channels. That would be a procedural solution to the concern of the contingencies of asylum travel. An asylum embassy, consulate, or something of the sort. Does it exist? No, because visas—  like democracy—  are business.  Asylum, however,  is the state of the global human condition; so what, Elon Musk can’t invade Mars fast enough?
