Calling all indies to...use your free options!
Alright folks! Time to tally up some bumps and bruises gathered while fumbling through the world of *cringe* marketing. Amazon Keywords keywords!

In the face of heat...protect your pets!
x-tinymce/html x-tinymce/html Many of you know that pets are dear to my heart, being the proud owner of two large-breed dogs myself.
