That’s cool you can add that stuff now. Yes, I imagine they have a ton of rules about the content.
It surprised me a little that it had to undergo approval, but after I thought about it I realized the modules could definitely be abused. Probably makes sense for Amazon to give it a once-over. I’m not sure if it’s a bot or a person doing the approving.
It took me a minute to figure out where it showed up. I went to your Amazon pages. It looks really nice. It great they opened this up to indies.
Thanks! Yes, I was really pleased. I noticed that my Penguin-Random House books don’t have the A+ Content (I guess the publisher isn’t interested in uploading it for backlists), so I was happy to get it on my indie books’ pages.
I like all the additional product info on Amazon. That’s awesome that they allow authors to do that too. Glad it wasn’t too hard for you to add your info.
I think the longest part of the process was deciding what I wanted the content to be and then creating the content on Canva. Overall, a very easy project.
I’m going to archive this post, Elizabeth – what a great idea! I didn’t know you could add content in this way, and I can see how it might make a big difference. And best of all, it doesn’t look particularly difficuilt. Thanks for sharing this.
I think I did all three active series in about an hour…maybe less. Nice that we can add more than 1 ASIN at a time.
I like to be in know, but have no idea what A+ Content is. I’ll read up on it. I’m super visual so this sounds appealing me.
Thanks for a great article.

Thanks for coming by, Teresa! I think this has only been available to indies for the last week or week and a half, so it is really new!
Ooo! Can I do that as the publisher?
I would think you definitely could! It started out with traditionally-published books. :)
Great examples. I’ve just started playing & haven’t used it to its full potential yet. I’m trying to design a series one as well. I like the way you’ve set yours up – nice balance and eye catching.
The second approvals are definitely much speedier than the first.
Isn’t the approval process interesting? I wonder what’s at play behind the curtain? And thanks! I’m no designer so I’m just figuring it all out as I go, ha!
Hi Elizabeth – it’s great you’re always so thorough in your approach to these type of blog posts … it’s always helpful to have as much information simply set out for people to follow. Congratulations on a really useful post for those who need it. Cheers Hilary
Thanks so much, Hilary!
You are one smart writer. I haven’t even updated a bio in years.
I’m trying to set up dates in my planner for this kind of business-related stuff (updating bios and websites, too!) It’s easy to have that stuff slip by me.
