Book Traffic Domination
25 ways readers find your book. One plan to run them.
Publishing was the easy part — being found is the job. Book Traffic Domination is the complete traffic playbook for one book at a time: 25 discovery strategies with the reasoning, the steps and a ready-to-paste AI prompt for each, plus three working tools that keep score. Set up a Book Profile per book, then run the system: fix the listing, work the calendar, watch the pulse.
The 25 strategies, in five moves
🧱 Amazon Foundation (strategies 1–5). The page itself: a Rufus-ready description, keyword and category surgery, A+ Content, a complete Author Central, and a Look Inside that hooks on page one.
🔍 Discovery & Lists (6–11). Where readers browse when they are not on Amazon: list sites, communities, search engines and the AI assistants that now answer "what should I read next?"
🎬 Video & Social (12–16). Short video and social proof, run as repeatable batches instead of one-off posts.
🚀 Momentum & Reviews (17–21). The compliant engine: an ARC team, a review request system in the back matter and emails, deal-week stacking and the series page that links it all.
🏠 Owned & Repeat (22–25). The assets Amazon cannot take away: your reader list, your back matter, your next launch — and the monthly pulse check that steers all of it.
Every strategy ships with why it works, what you get, where it runs, what you need before you start, the exact steps, a pro tip — and a prompt that turns your Book Profile into the finished work in your own AI chat.
Three tools that keep score — free
Listing X-Ray. Twenty weighted checks on your live Amazon page: title signal, description structure, review thresholds, the 4.2-star line, price against the sane band for your book type, A+ and Author Central. Every failing check names the strategy that fixes it.
30-Day Launch Calendar. Tell it your book type and your hours per week; it sequences the strategies that fit — foundation, momentum, discovery, video, owned — sizes every day in minutes, and lets you check days off as you go. Export it as text or CSV.
Reader Pulse Tracker. One snapshot a month: both BSRs, reviews, rating, KU reads and the 8 discovery placements, with trend arrows against last month — so month three starts telling you a story instead of a guess.
One profile per book
Keep a Book Profile for every title — type, genre, audience, your difference, formats, price, series position, your other books and your voice (or paste the full listing instead). Switch the active book and every strategy prompt, the X-Ray's keyword check and your exports follow it. Profiles travel with the rest of the suite: the same export opens in the Listing Lab and the Reader Loop Machine.
How the credits work
Building a strategy prompt costs 1 credit from your ContentCraft balance, charged only when the prompt is built. The Listing X-Ray, the 30-Day Launch Calendar and the Reader Pulse Tracker are deterministic tools — they are free, and so is saving your Book Profiles. Starting balance: 3 credits, no card required.
Who it is for
Self-published authors with a live book and no audience yet, series authors who need every launch to compound, and nonfiction and low-content publishers whose books live or die on being found. If your book is good and invisible, this is the system that fixes the invisible part.
