Biggest issue- you have to sell through KDP - and as many authors are figuring out- not worth the risk. Amazon can shut down accounts with little to no explanation . Your books are gone and so are your royalties. It would be worth it if they offered it on Author Central to all authors.

In reply to Lisa Norman. Thank you, Lisa! I'm chuckling because I know you would've researched it similarly--my dear logical and methodical friend. I'm glad to have saved you a little time. I am convinced making it character or high-concept focused is pivotal. If you learn something more about it, please let me know. Or post it here.

In reply to Michelle Miles. Yes, I believe you can do quotes from the book. I did it on my book, the Last Wise Woman. And Amazon allowed it.

Thank you so much for this amazing post. I know I'll be referring to it over and over. I've only dipped my toe into A+ Content, mostly because I've wanted to do exactly what you did here before committing. So thank you for doing that research for me!!! You rock. And your choice of A+ Content is beautiful.

I've been studying these and I want to try it. Can you do quotes from the book, or is that not allowed?

In reply to Kat. I meant super innovative with their A+ content. LOL And thanks for the compliment on my content. I'm not sure I've quite got it where I want it yet. I'm still on the hunt for inspiration and ideas. I want to make mine really out-of-the-box snappy. Something that slaps the book's marrow down on that book page with an unmistakable graphic splat.

I LOVE what you ended up doing! And thanks for all this great information. I will be thinking about how to incorporate it as I updated my book covers and release a new novel soon.

In reply to Kat. I CAN learn how to do all these marketing things. Many times tips just don't seem to apply to mainstream fiction, because I have this sneaking suspicion that mainstream fiction READERS: 1) go to Amazon to buy inexpensively, but don't go to search, 2) prefer to have their reading material vetted by traditional sources, and are either anti-indie in general or don't even think of it. FB adds are a possibility, BookBub is my goal, but now Amazon A+ content looks worth the effort (I'm disabled - time with a functional brain and energy are scarce resources). I keep getting lost when trying to figure out the FB ads, BB isn't up to me, but A+ content IS. And I love your comment that "We can ask ourselves what images quotes and log lines will most help us tell the story of our book.” Because THAT I can do - there are many choices.

Hi Lori!
Awwwh, you’re so sweet. LOL but you know the truth about me and knowledgeable is a nice way of saying obsessive compulsive about researching stuff like this.
The irony is I’m not quite sure I’ve stumbled across the magic bullet yet. I think capturing the essence of our novel and conveying that through image and text is the clear winner… but maybe there’s a way to do it that hasn’t been done yet.
Maybe making the visuals more character driven. Idk ideas are percolating.
