Are You an Author? How to Sell More Books on Amazon
Being an author myself, I had to check out a book called Sell Your Book on Amazon. The rather long subtitle explains what the book offers: The Book Marketing COACH Reveals Top-Secret “How-to” Tips Guaranteed to Increase Sales for Print-on-Demand and Self-Publishing Writers . My two self-help books were published by a traditional publisher, but I found the tips in this book to be very helpful.
Not only does author Brent Sampson give you a wide variety of strategies you can employ to sell more books, he also rates them from one to five stars as to how effective they are.
Whether you are self-published, or traditionally published, I highly recommend this book.
While your at it, you can also read the first chapter of my book, You Can Be Famous! Insider Secrets to Getting Free Publicity, on Amazon too.
The title says, “Reveals Top-Secret “How-to” Tips Guaranteed to Increase Sales.”
You highly recommend the book.
Can you tell us even ONE secret tip the book reveals, or even one guarantee the book makes?
The book is an advertisement for inept and dishonest vanity publisher Outskirts Press, and you are helping them.
You should be ashamed of yourself.

Hi Michael,
Michael,
Thanks for reading my blog and for taking the time to comment.
I don’t know the background of this author/publisher, but I do know that I found the tips useful, such as creating Listmania lists, writing “So you’d like to …” articles and the power of doing book reviews on Amazon.
I have done three reviews, 3 lists and eight articles. Two five-star and one four-star tactic respectively.
In the short time I’ve been doing these tactics, about a week, they have led to 103 additional views of my two books. Not great numbers, but I’ve just gotten started. The 103 number was generated by Amazon. They track the activity related to each of these tactics.
As any author knows, the more that people become aware of your books, the more you’ll sell.
I hope you find this useful, and thanks again for reading my posts. Good luck with your new book.
