Tiffany–yes, I use Publisher Rocket; but had not realized Google Search Suggestions = people are looking for it! And I must go find out about Google Trends–thanks and am curious about the free tools–have not seen these talked about anywhere. What helpful tactics you have shared with us–thank you.

In reply to Kay Vreeland. Kay, One way is through Google research. For example, I typed in children's books about lying and saw if Google had search suggestions. Search suggestions signify that people are searching this topic. I also use Google trends and search the topic there to see when and where the topic is popular. These are a couple of free tools I use. For Amazon specifically, I use a paid program called Publisher Rocket. I hope this helps!

Thank you for your time and sharing the authors perspectives. Absolutely, writing is a great pleasure to put on black and white what is buried in mind. One can express based on experience and observation. As life is a journey countless encountering would happen and to share that with world community is a delight.

With appreciation and regards,

This list had some ideas new to me, so thanks especially to Tiffany Obeng, Scott Graham, and H. R. Bellicosa!

Tiffany Obeng, HOW did you notice there was an active customer base for children’s books about honesty?? Where did you go to discover this?

I often think I’m good at research for book marketing, but this has left me flummoxed!
