Algorithms + Books, Books + Algorithms


Reading Time: Short missive

Happy Saturday!

Is it possible to have a non-drinking hangover? Asking for a friend.

My coauthor, Ali, and I have 58 reviews for The Success Code and we both been mighty focused on getting reviews. I explained to him that "just anyone with an Amazon account" isn't the goal--we want reviews from people who would read this type of book anyway.

(Business professionals, entrepreneurs, senior-level professionals ... and anyone who is a self-improvement devotee.)

Why? To avoid confusing the algorithms. Why? Confused algorithms die. Then what happens? A dead book doesn't get retailer love.

Questions?

Reading Time: 4x6 Postcard It's Sunday and I'm going to read like it's my job today! Oh, wait ... 😊 But first, I got a question about the algorithms you might want to know the answer to, too.: Aren't the (Amazon) algorithms constantly changing, so there's really no way to engage them? I know for a fact this is both true and false at the same time. Yes, they are always changing. And yes, you can engage (read: train) them. Think of your book as a baby (not your baby) and you want to keep that...

Reading Time: Postcard Good morning! Apologies for this being a tad late. The launch party for my newest book, with Ali Hemyari, The Success Code was last night and it's taken me a few extra minutes (read: coffee) to start the engines this morning. People came from all over--friends, colleagues, family--it was absolutely amazing! It's worth writing a book if only to have a party and see all of your peeps (and of course, cake). If you haven't yet gotten a copy, you can get it here:...

Reading Time: Postcard + Of course a lot of my pen pals responded (thank you!), and one in particular said, "Well, that's what I'm here for--for you to tell me what my one thing is!" Fair enough. (Some of you responded with the one thing you were letting go or the strategy you wanted to apply--love all of that!) Is it going to shock you that I suggest you start with a book? You know book isn't just a book—it multiplies your credibility, gives you authority, is a literal lead generation...
