Description
Your cover gets the click. Your description gets the sale. And right now, your description is probably losing you readers.
Most self-published authors treat their book description as an afterthought — a quick plot summary dashed off five minutes before hitting "Publish." But on Amazon, your description is the single most important piece of sales copy you will ever write. It is the last thing a reader sees before deciding to buy or bounce. A great description converts 10-15% of browsers into buyers. A weak one converts 1-2%. On the same book.
