After turning 60 and asking “now what”, Greg Lewis and his wife Kym decided to pack up their new house, buy a travel trailer and throw in a couple of Pedego eBikes to see where life might take them next.  A new “life on the road” in search of their next great adventure.  Using the travel trailer as their base camp and their eBikes as modern day horses to ride down the trails they discover (and over the the next ridge to whatever awaits them).  Chronicling all this in their new YouTube channel called “WeeRVee”.   

So if you want to feel stuck. Or just wanna feel young and yell “weee” again, ride along as “weee” take to the road with Greg and Kym Lewis (and their wee dog Charli) to see where the wind takes them. On this week’s PEDEGO PODCAST.

How to Get Your Book Discovered on Amazon

On this episode of the Pub Date podcast book broads Dr. Jen Dorsey and Vanessa Campos discuss banned books, Scribd, Shel Silverstein (with a side of cannibalism), word of mouth marketing, and how to get your book discovered on Amazon as a self-published author. We try not to nerd out as we cover:

  • Good metadata (what makes up basic metadata, keywords, descriptive phrases, etc.)
  • Creating an Amazon Author Central (you can add extended bio, video content, blog content, images, and more) — Reviews (verified customers and editorial reviews) can help your book’s ranking
  • A+ content (Additional content to help the buyer learn more about your book. Consider adding images (spreads) of your book where you have images, graphs, etc.)
  • When in doubt, browse the competition and find books that are from distributed publishers. These books are more likely to check off major metadata boxes to ensure they’re discovered by new readers.
