Relaunch checklist

Before you relaunch, check these five things.

Cover alignment

Does your cover match the dominant mood and style signals for your sub-genre right now? Cover trends shift. A 2022 cover may be visually dated.

Price positioning

Is your price at or near the sub-genre median? A price significantly above median without a brand to back it up kills conversion.

Trope relevance

Are the tropes in your book rising or falling in the current market? A falling trope needs a stronger hook or positioning shift.

Category and keywords

Are your Amazon categories still the strongest options? Categories shift as competition evolves. Check the top 50 in your sub-genre.

Launch window timing

Is there a seasonal peak for your sub-genre coming up? A well-timed relaunch in a peak window outperforms a random push 3:1.
