How I Sold 80,000 Books: Book Marketing for Authors
by
by
I got my copy from NoiseTrade. I'd hoped to pick up some new tips, but didn't really learn anything.
If you're really new to self-publishing, there is some useful information, but do your own research as well.
At one point the author endorses the idea of review swapping, but this is actually against Amazon's terms of service and could get the authors involved in trouble.
She talks about making books permafree on Amazon by publishing on another platform, making it free there, then asking Amazon to price match, when the easiest solution is to publish through Pronoun and control the price on five retailers (including Amazon) from a single point. Pronoun doesn't so much as rate a mention, in fact.
The list of competitions to enter is filled with ones with entry fees that are dauntingly high.
The start of the book had pages (13?) of reviews. If I've already bought/downloaded it, I don't need that sort of filler. The end section is interviews.
Overall, the author doesn't say much about how she, specifically, sold 80,000 books, just talks about self-publishing, and things you can try.
