Would you like to inspect the original subtitles? These are the user uploaded subtitles that are being translated:
0
00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:01,960
Next up is your book description.
1
00:00:02,520 --> 00:00:04,880
Now you get up to 4000 characters.
2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:08,360
That's around 600 words to write your
description.
3
00:00:08,480 --> 00:00:11,470
That doesn't mean that you need to use
all that, but it means you have more than
4
00:00:11,480 --> 00:00:13,720
enough space to sell your book.
5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:15,080
Now one of the problems.
6
00:00:15,500 --> 00:00:20,730
With Amazon's book, description input is
if you just go to their website and type
7
00:00:20,740 --> 00:00:24,690
in your description, it's going to be all
just basic plain text and it's going to
8
00:00:24,700 --> 00:00:26,850
run together and it's not going to stand
out.
9
00:00:26,860 --> 00:00:28,940
But there's a tool over at Kindlepreneur.
10
00:00:29,100 --> 00:00:30,260
It's a free tool.
11
00:00:30,590 --> 00:00:34,220
And you can get to it by typing in my
marketing coach dot com slash amazon
12
00:00:34,230 --> 00:00:38,100
text. It'll allow you to build rich text book
13
00:00:38,110 --> 00:00:42,420
descriptions that you can then copy and
paste inside of the Amazon Book
14
00:00:42,430 --> 00:00:45,230
description section.
That means that you can have headlines,
15
00:00:45,510 --> 00:00:49,870
you can have subheads, you can have
bolded points, you can do bullet benefits
16
00:00:50,350 --> 00:00:51,260
for your book.
17
00:00:51,270 --> 00:00:52,940
And I definitely recommend that you write
18
00:00:52,950 --> 00:00:54,580
up some bullet benefits for your book.
19
00:00:54,590 --> 00:00:56,460
Go through some of the chapters and what
20
00:00:56,470 --> 00:00:59,620
is the strongest bullet benefit inside of
this chapter.
21
00:00:59,630 --> 00:01:00,790
And I have other products.
22
00:01:00,870 --> 00:01:04,230
Where I go into detail about writing on
23
00:01:04,310 --> 00:01:05,910
great selling bullets.
24
00:01:06,190 --> 00:01:08,060
But here let's just talk a little bit
25
00:01:08,070 --> 00:01:09,340
about the description itself.
26
00:01:09,350 --> 00:01:11,100
You're going to want to make sure that
27
00:01:11,110 --> 00:01:13,230
for your book description, there's a
headline.
28
00:01:13,590 --> 00:01:16,540
So this is a larger text out in the
header text.
29
00:01:16,550 --> 00:01:19,100
And a lot of times you're going to want
to try to get your strongest keyword
30
00:01:19,110 --> 00:01:22,700
phrase into the headline tag where you're
going to call out the audience.
31
00:01:22,710 --> 00:01:23,900
This is the big benefit.
32
00:01:23,910 --> 00:01:26,140
Who is this book for and what will it do
33
00:01:26,150 --> 00:01:29,160
for them?
And just like I teach in other
34
00:01:29,280 --> 00:01:33,550
copywriting courses that I've done, such
as my golden Glove method, you want to
35
00:01:33,560 --> 00:01:35,910
have a benefit plus curiosity.
36
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,630
Headline and I was mentioned that same
37
00:01:37,640 --> 00:01:39,120
thing as we were going through the
titles.
38
00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:42,550
So you want to call people out with a
headline that hits them with a benefit
39
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,800
and makes them curious to know more.
40
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,190
Then I'd recommend writing up a quick
41
00:01:47,200 --> 00:01:49,200
story about the book.
42
00:01:49,660 --> 00:01:50,290
What is it?
43
00:01:50,300 --> 00:01:53,010
This book's reason for existence?
What did you go through?
44
00:01:53,020 --> 00:01:56,420
Did you go through the same problem
they're going to help them solve?
45
00:01:56,460 --> 00:01:58,180
Tell a little bit about your story.
46
00:01:58,460 --> 00:02:00,260
Give them a little, you know, a short
47
00:02:00,500 --> 00:02:04,810
couple of paragraphs of the before and
after, what you face, the obstacles you
48
00:02:04,820 --> 00:02:08,180
faced, and how you got to where you are
where you are today.
49
00:02:08,220 --> 00:02:11,420
So tell your story, then go into some
bullet benefits.
50
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:14,050
Here's what they're going to get out of
these this book, and it could be as
51
00:02:14,060 --> 00:02:17,180
simple as going through each of your
chapters and pulling out the strongest
52
00:02:17,220 --> 00:02:19,650
benefit from each chapter and turn that
into a.
53
00:02:19,660 --> 00:02:22,250
Will it benefit?
And then I'm going to recommend that you
54
00:02:22,260 --> 00:02:26,170
Golden Glove this whole pitch and I'll
I'll share the Golden Glove real quickly
55
00:02:26,180 --> 00:02:26,570
in a moment.
56
00:02:26,580 --> 00:02:28,530
As again as I said I have other courses
57
00:02:28,540 --> 00:02:31,970
that go into detail in the Golden Club
and how you can use it to sell more of
58
00:02:31,980 --> 00:02:33,890
everything that you sell online.
59
00:02:33,900 --> 00:02:35,770
Whether you're writing book descriptions,
60
00:02:35,780 --> 00:02:39,450
whether writing sales copy emails or
whatever else that you're doing, you'll
61
00:02:39,460 --> 00:02:44,610
do golden glove it and then do a call to
action at the end where you'll tell
62
00:02:44,620 --> 00:02:47,540
people to scroll up and click buy now.
63
00:02:48,020 --> 00:02:50,050
So you want to tell them exactly what to
64
00:02:50,060 --> 00:02:53,180
do. And you can see the rich text editor.
65
00:02:53,460 --> 00:02:55,170
There's not a ton that you can do here.
66
00:02:55,180 --> 00:02:56,410
But you can see you can add in some
67
00:02:56,420 --> 00:02:57,530
bullet check marks.
68
00:02:57,540 --> 00:02:59,530
You can add in stars, you can add a
69
00:02:59,540 --> 00:03:01,450
bullet list or a numbered list.
70
00:03:01,460 --> 00:03:02,850
You can do bolding and italics.
71
00:03:02,860 --> 00:03:03,820
You can do headings.
72
00:03:04,140 --> 00:03:06,930
So if we write up your text here, how to
73
00:03:06,940 --> 00:03:10,290
save money on X, that's right here.
74
00:03:10,300 --> 00:03:12,010
You can actually do different headings
75
00:03:12,020 --> 00:03:15,110
here. So I can make this a heading 4 for this
76
00:03:15,120 --> 00:03:18,270
type text.
I can type in some other stuff down here
77
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:22,030
and I could bold it if I wanted to bold
part of it.
78
00:03:22,040 --> 00:03:25,430
You can create bulleted lists that you
can write here.
79
00:03:25,440 --> 00:03:30,510
So you can create a very basic
description here that you can then copy
80
00:03:30,520 --> 00:03:34,110
and paste into your Amazon description so
you can just generate.
81
00:03:34,120 --> 00:03:37,990
When you get finished, go down here,
generate my code and here's your code.
82
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:40,120
You copy the code and you'll go paste it.
83
00:03:40,170 --> 00:03:42,880
Into the Amazon description now, when
84
00:03:42,890 --> 00:03:49,760
writing your description, I recommend
that you use the Golden Glove model, and
85
00:03:49,770 --> 00:03:54,120
very quickly.
That model is desperate, problem unique,
86
00:03:54,130 --> 00:03:56,650
promise overwhelming, proof,
irresistible.
87
00:03:56,690 --> 00:03:58,760
Offer, reason to act now.
88
00:03:58,770 --> 00:04:01,560
And so the easiest way to come up with
89
00:04:01,570 --> 00:04:07,800
your basic sales pitch for anything that
you want to offer is to ask yourself
90
00:04:07,810 --> 00:04:09,250
these five questions.
91
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:12,270
And then you just simply expand out on
92
00:04:12,280 --> 00:04:17,470
them. So who is this for and what problem are
93
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,990
you addressing for them?
Write it out.
94
00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:22,840
Who's this for and what problem do you
help them solve?
95
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,910
Second step, why should they choose your
solution as compared to every other
96
00:04:27,920 --> 00:04:30,630
option in the market?
So you might start off this section,
97
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:34,920
it'll say, whereas most people do this.
98
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,440
And here's what the result of that is.
99
00:04:37,490 --> 00:04:41,080
Hey, I was in the same position you were,
and I tried this method, this method, and
100
00:04:41,090 --> 00:04:41,800
this method, and this.
101
00:04:41,810 --> 00:04:43,240
Here's why they didn't work for me.
102
00:04:43,250 --> 00:04:48,290
And then I stumble upon this special
system that I've recorded in this book,
103
00:04:49,450 --> 00:04:52,920
overwhelming proof.
Why should they believe the solution is
104
00:04:52,930 --> 00:04:56,400
for real, that you're a credible person
to do business with and that it will work
105
00:04:56,410 --> 00:04:58,920
for them?
In particular, this is where you bring up
106
00:04:58,930 --> 00:05:03,000
such as if you have a network of
followers on YouTube, you'd say as I've
107
00:05:03,010 --> 00:05:06,120
taught my hundred thousand subscribers on
youtube Youtube might talk about your
108
00:05:06,130 --> 00:05:08,530
clients. That you've helped solve this problem,
109
00:05:08,540 --> 00:05:12,410
where you might mention a couple of
testimonials that people have given you
110
00:05:12,420 --> 00:05:16,330
about solving this problem, you'll have
some element of proof that you bring into
111
00:05:16,340 --> 00:05:17,660
your description if possible.
112
00:05:17,940 --> 00:05:19,730
You have your irresistible offer, which
113
00:05:19,740 --> 00:05:22,740
is how will you make it more painful for
them to walk away than to purchase.
114
00:05:22,900 --> 00:05:25,900
That's where you might mention some of
your content upgrades.
115
00:05:26,340 --> 00:05:30,490
So if they buy this book today, not only
do they get the book, but they also get
116
00:05:30,500 --> 00:05:35,170
this entire video course that comes as a
bonus inside the book, so you'll mention
117
00:05:35,180 --> 00:05:36,540
something like that as well.
118
00:05:36,880 --> 00:05:38,630
And then why must they take action now?
119
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,600
It's not really why they have to take
action now.
120
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,230
In the case of a book description, you're
going to tell them to scroll up and click
121
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:47,630
buy now for this book to download the
book of media.
122
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:49,830
So that's your basic principles here.
123
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:52,830
Take this, add a story to it, add some
124
00:05:52,840 --> 00:05:57,030
bullet benefits for your chapters, and
that's your basic description that you're
125
00:05:57,040 --> 00:05:57,390
going to use.
126
00:05:57,400 --> 00:05:59,190
And of course, just like I've shown you
127
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:02,590
examples. Throughout this entire presentation, go
128
00:06:02,600 --> 00:06:05,190
back to some of the books that I've
talked about in some of the books that
129
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:09,230
I've shown, and look at the descriptions
they have in the book to give you ideas
130
00:06:09,240 --> 00:06:11,230
of what you can do on your own
description.
131
00:06:11,240 --> 00:06:14,630
Because sometimes the best thing that you
can do is model some people who are
132
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:15,870
outside of your industry.
133
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:16,910
What do they do?
134
00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,390
What types of headlines that they use?
How did they call out to their audience?
135
00:06:20,400 --> 00:06:23,650
Look at what other people are doing and
build that into your own description.
