Publish a Book on Amazon KDP in 90 Days | Book Rescue

About this video

(Summarized from the Arabic caption track.) Dale accepts a challenge from Fiverr to help one of his subscribers successfully publish a book within 90 days, and says yes. He asks his assistant Ava to find a subscriber, and chooses Sarah Walde, a paranormal mystery author and homeschooling mother of two whose large backlist has failed to gain lasting traction over the past five years and who reinvests her small earnings hoping for a breakthrough. Because Sarah is publishing the sixth book in a series, Dale decides the whole series must be rescued with the same branding, not just the new book. His diagnosis is that her problem is marketing and metadata rather than the books themselves: he audits the three pillars of covers, book description/blurb, and backend keywords, praises one series’ covers, finds another series inconsistent, and plans to fix all descriptions, use author bio and A+ Content for discoverability, and hire a professional editor after seeing reviews saying the work needs a little more polish. He has Sarah catalog every release — titles, word counts, page counts, trim size, paper type, keywords and copy — in a shared spreadsheet so changes can be tracked, framing the workload with his ‘how do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time’ advice. He lines up trusted Fiverr freelancers for cover design and final editing/proofreading, and is stunned when Sarah completes the cataloging task — expected to take a week or more — overnight, leaving 87 days and giving him hope the deadline is achievable.

Key takeaways

• A Fiverr challenge frames the project: publish a subscriber’s book successfully within 90 days
• The chosen author, Sarah Walde, has a large paranormal mystery backlist with no lasting traction over five years
• Rescuing book six means rebranding the whole series, not just launching one title
• Dale’s audit pillars are covers, book description, and backend keywords, plus author bio and A+ Content for discoverability
• Cataloging every release’s metadata in a shared spreadsheet first makes later changes trackable
