Catfish Marketing Campaign, Day 23, Tags

Tags and key words are search terms—descriptive words that will help readers find your book. On Amazon, you’re allowed seven key words and seventeen tags. You insert the key words when you upload the book. You can add tags after your book is published. If you disagree with added tags, you can have Amazon remove them.
