    Q: I have trouble finding the topic tracker and the profit analyzer spreadsheets. Where can I access them?

A: The topic tracker and profit analyzer spreadsheets are the same as the Google Slides file. You can find all parts of the topic tracker spreadsheet on the bottom tab of the file. The file is linked under lesson 4 in module 2, or you can download it HERE. Note - all downloadable files can be found in the Resources Cheatsheet, along with the description of each lesson.

Q: Should I do keyword research on books that I write myself?

A: You should still apply the principles you learned in the module 2 lessons to analyze competition. The goal is to write books that are in low-competition niches with a small amount of search results. Remember that you probably won’t build an audience with these books. They are intended to generate cash flow, not become the foundation of your business. Refer to module 2 for details.

Q: Do I need to do a trademark search for the keywords I choose for my books?

A: Yes. Every time you use a keyword for a book, you need to do a trademark search. In the AIA course, we show step-by-step instructions on how to do a trademark search.

Q: Should it be on Amazon.com or their other marketplaces when doing keyword research?

A: All keyword research should be done on Amazon.com.
