🛒 The Amazon Follower Builder: Get the Algorithm Working for You
We all know that Amazon is the “big beast” of the book world. While we can’t control their algorithm, there is one tool they give us that actually works: The Follow Button.
When a reader follows you on Amazon, you’re not just a number in a database. You’re triggering a series of automated “sales reps” that work for you 24/7. Amazon sends those followers an email the moment you have a new release or a price drop, and your books are more likely to show up in their “Recommended for You” section.
To help a group of us grow our Amazon presence, I’m hosting an Amazon Follower Builder.
How it works:
It’s a simple, collaborative way to get our names in front of active Amazon shoppers:
- The Draw: We host a raffle for an Amazon Gift Card (which, let’s be honest, every reader is already using anyway).
- The Entry: To enter, readers get a “ticket” for every author they follow on Amazon from our list.
- The Reach: I’ll promote the giveaway to my audience of romance readers, and we’ll all share it to create a nice “boost” for everyone involved.
Why join this builder?
- Automated Marketing: Every follower you gain is someone Amazon will automatically email when you launch your next book. It’s the ultimate “set it and forget it” marketing.
- Higher Conversion: These aren’t just random social media followers; these are people with active Amazon accounts and “1-Click” buttons ready to go.
- No Tech Headaches: You don’t have to worry about setting up the raffle or tracking the entries. I’ll handle the hosting and the direct links to your Amazon Author Central page.
