How demanded from other students is the content of your document? How rare is the content of your document? Are there other documents in the Store on that particular topic? If so, what is their average price? How does the quality of your documents compare to the best- selling ones within your field of study? Choosing the right price for your documents will likely be dependent on several factors. For instance:

1.2 Pricing Definition Tips

Check other documents related to yours in the Store. That will give you an idea of the price and quality of the document. There is no “right” of “wrong” price for documents, but there are two main pricing strategies that you can adopt. Lower price to get more downloads. Higher price to get more earning with each download. This strategy allows more users to download your documents and the earnings come from the amount of downloads. This strategy allows you to earn more from each download but could reduce the possibility to get a lot of downloads..

Considering how valuable you think your documents are, you can test these strategies and see which is working best for your documents. You can always change strategy in time. For example, in the following weeks the upload you may even realise that you had initially set a price that is too high or too low. Remember that you can always modify the price of your documents (access My documents and click ). So, a possibility is: if you are getting a lot of downloads you may feel more confident to increase the price of your documents in order to ramp up your earnings. On the contrary, if you notice a document has a low number of downloads, you can consider to decrease the price a bit to see what happens.

1.3 What is SEO?

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a non-exact science of Marketing to make Google understand that we have useful pieces of content or documents for users. For example, imagine a student searching for the topic "acceleration" on Google. We want Google to understand that we have the best document for this student. Therefore, we expect our site to appear at the top of Google's search results for that topic. In consequence, the titles and descriptions of the documents must be optimized with some strategies, see below:

Search engine understand document content; Search engine linking less common searches, like “acceleration practice problems”, with the document page; Do not constantly repeat the primary keyword. Secondary keyword Secondary keywords help the search engine to rank your document in the top position and are related to the primary keyword. These words appear less frequently than primary keyword, but contribute to: Note that secondary keywords often include primary keywords, such as “acceleration how to calculate” (secondary) and “acceleration” (primary). You can use Google Trends to check secondary keyword suggestions. Heads up: It is important to use a keyword that is related to the content of your document. For example, if you use “root” as a primary keyword because you know that it is a word with high search volume, but the document is about “square root”, Google understands your “trick” and will leave your document page in a lower position on the search engine. For that reason, choose your primary keyword careffuly. Tip: using secondary keywords is a great strategy in describing your document, because help capture students for your material.

Primary keyword: acceleration. Secundary keyword: acceleration formula, acceleration definition, acceleration how to calculate, acceleration graphs, acceleration examples. Document Title : Acceleration: how to calculate? Formulas you need Document description : In this Physics document, study what acceleration is and understand acceleration definition. Also, learn the acceleration formula, its units and see acceleration graphs. Throughout the document, look at acceleration examples, such as accelerating a vehicle, launching a rocket, a ride on a roller coaster and many others. The document is for university students who want to learn acceleration in an easy and fun way. Practical example Imagine that you are going to sell a Physics study note about "acceleration", so:
