What are tags ?

[sheencrofter]

Hi all,

Am hoping to publish an ebook soon and am thinking of marketing. I know I need tags, but can't really find out what they mean. Any answers please.

Thanks

They are words that help people find your book when they do a search. For example: Romance, children's book, magic, parenting, self-help, inspirational.

Maggie is absolutely correct! Thanks, Maggie, you rock!

Thanks for that, Maggie

But where or what do you do with the tags to get noticed.

[Maggie]

Google some words that you think people might look up to find your book and see how far up the list each one is and how many searches each one has gotten. Also go to Amazon and see what some of their subcategories are and what people have tagged each one.

Right, thanks for that. I'll try it
