SPA Girls Podcast – EP225 – Amazon Decoded with David Gaughran

Is Amazon just one big mystery that you’re struggling to unravel? Then this is the podcast for you! David Gaughran gives us some tips and advice from his soon to be released non-fiction book, AMAZON DECODED.

David says it’s important to understand Amazon’s approach to bookselling, and how that differs from the rest of the industry. It’s crucial to get to grips with the Kindle Store and how all the various parts work. And it can be extremely lucrative to apply that knowledge to your marketing strategies.

He has been featured in the Telegraph, the Irish Times, the Guardian, the Irish Examiner, the Sunday Times, Huffington Post, Business Insider, Forbes, Mashable, New York Observer, Newsweek Polska, il Giornale, The Star Malaysia, and a smattering of Wanted posters.

  1. Hi Spa Girls,

    Great podcast. I read Amazon Decoded and still found lots of new info here. But about the delivery of the podcast itself… I’ve never experienced this from a podcast, but it completely turns off—sometimes even going back to the beginning—every minute or so when the lock screen comes on. With Youtube the videos stay on the screen and play straight through. With all other podcasts I listened to, the lock screen comes on, and then goes black, but the audio still keeps playing. Yours does not. Just thought you should know, even if I opened it in a separate window. If I wasn’t already interested in the author I wouldn’t have listened any further. Having to turn my phone every minute was… well, you get the picture. Thanks for great content, though.

    • Hi Michael, so sorry you had such a poor listening experience. Can I ask how you were listening to the podcast – via an app or via our website on your phone? ~ Shar

  2. Thank you very much for this Podcast. Though some of it was familiar to me, there were details I wasn’t aware of. David is quite knowledgeable regarding Amazon. I launched a book in October and haven’t gotten sales. I now believe it is because of my book description.

    Cheers
