Hi, I'm Steve. I'm a marketing nerd. My clients have earned over $1B since 2013, and I'm also a USA Today bestselling novelist under the pen name Lars Emmerich. 

Amazon treated me badly one time, so I decided to sell directly to readers. 24 months later, I had reached $1,000,000 in sales.

I built two courses around this system called AMMO and Click Testing for Authors and my customers went on to make $80M last year.

But then Meta introduced Andromeda, Amazon changed their algorithm, and LLMs like ChatGPT and Claude took over the world.

And the question kept coming again and again...

"How do I sell my books in the algorithm age?"

It's a valid question.

The world is saturated with books. 60,000,000 of them on Amazon, by one recent estimate.

Tack on algo changes and book sales feel impossible.

Most authors don't want to hear this, but here it is:

Your books and making sure you please your readers make all the difference. 

You have to approach pleasing your readers with the same professionalism that you bring to your writing.

And you have to follow a proven, simple, data-informed process to discover what resonates with them. 

A.I. can be your ally in this endeavor, but be sure you don't follow its recommendations blindly.

Otherwise, you're just throwing mud against the wall and hoping it sticks. That rarely works. :)

I'm on track for a 7-figure year!

How does this work?

Selling books in today's online environment requires knowing exactly what your readers want to hear to "click and buy".

This is difficult when algos keep changing, LLMs can create 100s of ads for you in mere seconds, and when what worked before no longer works now.


Fortunately, there is a straightforward process you can follow to sell books in the Algorithm Age.
