Interestingly, theres a man on LinkedIn, Mike Winnet, who showed how easy it was to have best selling book on Amazon. He produced a book with no words and the bare minimum of pages and then utilized the tagging. The book was then posted in a very niche category that had very few rivals and with a single copy given away it became a #1 (in its category). He was then able to market the book as a #1 best seller! No surprise to hear the bots are ruling Amazon.

That's nuts!

I mean it makes sense that there's a way to hack the system like that. Kinda takes all the fun out of it in a way. Unless the joke is becoming a bestseller for nothing at all.

I'm curious though if Amazon will drop the AI ban hammer or just let people buy gibberish so long as they get their cut.

His point was to show how easy it was to state you're a #1 best selling author on LinkedIn and not to buy too deeply into the marketing

Link?

Sounds like a nice bit of shallow bling I could add to my life. 😁

Who needs their bucket list to be honest and meaningful.
