The Importance of Descriptions on Amazon

When you first upload your blog or book to Amazon, it may appear within a couple of days, but the description of it always takes a few days more - an idiosyncrasy that I find annoying.

But eventually that description will show up, but it's not going to do you any good if its not a good description.

I've found this problem mostly with books in the public domain, but I've seen it with a few others - those self-published.

In your description, you need to throw in everything, and the kitchen sink. A table of contents, a list of characters perhaps, at the very least a synopsis of the plot!

And like everything else you write, after you've written your description, let it "set" for a day or so, then come back to it, and if it still sounds good, then use it.

Whenever you write something that's going to go for sale to someone else, or is going to advertise something you have for sale, you need to ensure that there are no spelling or grammar errors, and that it says exactly what you want it to say.
