Don't Neglect It3:21
Every author should create an Amazon Author Central profile and fill it out completely. It's amazing how many authors haven't done this simple thing that really helps sell more books and connect with more readers.

Available elements to add
Foreign Author Centrals4:40
Each one must be filled out individually. It’s easiest by doing them all at once using multiple tabs on your computer. Here are the links:

USA – https://authorcentral.amazon.com

UK – https://authorcentral.amazon.co.uk

Germany – https://authorcentral.amazon.de

France – https://authorcentral.amazon.fr

Japan – https://authorcentral.amazon.co.jp

Remember that more Amazon nations may create Author Centrals in the near future.

Book Descriptions
KDP Select Decision3:26
Whether or not to do it is up to you. This decision divides authors.
KDP Select Promo Sites3:00
A huge collection of sites to notify about free KDP Select days and paid promotional sites and Twitter handles who like to share freebies.
Associates - Affiliates Program2:59
Smart way to earn extra money on sales from your leads (i.e. websites, blog, book links within you ebooks). Like with foreign Author Centrals, each foreign Amazon Associate must be filled out individually.

Delete Long Amazon REF Suffixes2:42
Long “ref” links are commonly given by authors to others to find their Amazon books, but they look awful and are unprofessional. Always delete the “ref” suffixes and use shorter links.
Global Amazon Links with Affiliate Tags7:13
Direct foreign buyers and foreign reviewers to their proper Amazon nation. Otherwise you risk losing sales and reviews.

BookLinker.net is great for Amazon books and author pages.

Manage.SmartURL.it is great for those and/or review pages.
Foreign Buyers
Insert Global Links3:56
Whether at your website, blog, email signature or within the book itself, always use Global Amazon links for your book’s product page and reviews page. This is something that is not being done by most authors and can help especially with foreign sales and reviews.
Amazon Icons on Websites, Blogs and More4:55
It’s smart to create links that are icons, images people instantly recognize and can click on for your Amazon books.
