CRUSH IT WITH BOOK MARKETING SUCCESS
I am a self-published author like you are. I have self-published over 6 books via Amazon and most of my sales came without any marketing or promotion. Amazon has done all the selling for me so far. All I needed to do was write a good book and put it out there in the market.
I needed to explore the infinite possibilities of promoting a book.
I wasn't convinced since I have been an online marketer for 7 years. The fire inside my marketing brain was still burning. The idea of self-publishing is a blessing for many authors and I want to help them further with their work. Thus, the idea to write this book was born. This book has a lot of marketing tips on how to sell more books, success stories, case studies, strategies, and brilliant hacks. Book marketing is not dead. Only the techniques and strategies have changed for authors. This is the ultimate book marketing resource you will find on the internet.
You will also find a lot of interviews inside the book by prominent authors like 'Steve Scott' who is known for his 'books on habit'. He makes over $60k every month and he shares some valuable insights in this book.
Let me tell you what you should expect from this book.
I have very little first-hand experience with physical book marketing. Hence, I have taken help from tons of other marketers and publicists to write about offline book marketing. I have worked on my strengths. I am an online marketer since 7 years. I will help you to promote your books online in the most effective way.
Online marketing triumphs offline marketing since it’s cheaper, less time consuming, can be automated and an audience is easily accessible. Once you set up everything, it takes very little effort to do the promotion.
It wasn't an endeavour of just one person (me) but hundreds of others. This book wouldn't have been possible without the help of many other authors whom I have been in regular touch with. They have shared their secrets, helped me produce a book that will help any first time author to promote his/her book.
This book was primarily written for non-fiction writers who target a specific niche/audience. Although, fictions writers will also be able to take away a lot of valuable knowledge.
There’s no definite answer to marketing.
Marketing itself means innovation. Each and every author will need to work his way up with some unique ideas of his or her own. There are specific triggers in our brain. Whenever we read a good book or listen to a podcast, these triggers are activated. We go through a phase called, “conceptual blending” where we mix the ideas of the author/speaker with our old ideas/techniques. We can then come up with a brand new idea that’s more refined and unique.
There are thousands of marketing techniques but you can not focus on each and every one of them. It’s just not worth your time. Do remember the Pareto principle of 80-20 rule. 20% of your effort will produce 80% of the results. We will focus on that 20% effort to give us a competitive edge over our competitors.
There’s always a way to do the same thing is a lot of different ways to produce the optimum result. Example: You can either personally walk to 10-15 different bookstores in your city and request them to store a few copies of your book or email a thousand bookstore owners from across the globe with the same request but this time, it will only take a minute using automation.

Harsh sure knows what he is talking about. My favorite quote, "Don't do as I say, Do as I have done." As a new writer he explained the things I should be doing to better promote my books. Throughout the books were excellent examples, links to what he has done, and how it has worked for him. He gave ideas that I hadn't even thought of yet! He gave links to things to make my publishing life so much easier... I should say, marketing life. The books are already published. Most of all I have a new philosophy to treat each book as a business, and my readers like customers. Most of all, I plan on taking action right now with at least five great ideas I learned in this book.
If I could give six stars, I would. Take action! Great Advice!

The Art Of Book Marketing: Increase Your Book Sales By 700% In 7 Days.
Successful Book Marketing! It might help to understand this review, I have written more than 70 books in print (paper), Amazon is still listing about 40 of them. I have currently 11 Kindle books currently listed. But the book marketing process between main stream print and Kindles digital is like night and day. I grab almost every book on ebook marketing I can find. My hope is to find just one good thing from each that will produce results. Which is why I purchased The Art Of Book Marketing. My plan was to skim over this book and find the good item and move on before going to bed.
This book messed up my plan, after reading a few pages I was hooked. This book is packed with useful marketing techniques I can start to apply instantly and many others great strategies that will take me a bit of time to implement. It seemed this book would never end about 170 pages. It kept me up all night reading and planing how to use the ideas. Author Das has done his home work to test and produce more profitable marketing ideas than any other book I have read.
Unlike most of my reviews I will not try to explain the strategies because unless you follow the detailed plans the techniques will sound overly simple. And they are simple but if you take action I know that they will produce results. They are the missing pieces of the puzzle.
You will learn the value and how to use things like the pre and post launch, blogs, book trailers, press releases and yes, even the correct way to market using Twitter, Facebook and Pinterst.
Will this book increase my sales by 700 percent in 7 days? I doubt this but I feel these techniques will boost my book sales by many times the current rate. I have applied and are getting this information into action now. I am very impressed in this book and are eagerly waiting for the Volume Two.
Highly Recommended!

I honestly can't see where this author got all the 5-star reviews on Amazon. There are grammar, punctuation and spelling issues throughout - my pet peeve, frankly. On page 10 the author says "I have very little first-hand experience with physical book marketing." Really? Why are you writing a book about it? Because, as he says on the next page, he has "learned a lot from millionaire authors about book marketing." He's spent "countless hours reading books on marketing, psychology, human behavior and listening to interviews."
By page 12 I saw the book is "primarily written for non-fiction writers" - wish I'd known that before I paid for it.
Page 13 - he calls the book "conceptual blending" - using stuff he read or heard from others to create his own book. Fifty podcasts, watching fifty videos on marketing, reading hundreds of articles . . . etc. etc. My gosh. The guy read a bunch of stuff, listened to some podcasts, watched videos and suddenly he can tell you "The Art of Book Marketing."
I read about football. I think I'll write a book about how to coach the 49ers.
Don't waste your time and money on this one.

A once-over-lightly view of book marketing. It makes some good points (which have been made by others), and has some really bad advice, like getting your friends over to your house, get them drunk, then get them all to review your books (Amazon will track the IP address and delete them all), or contacting the Amazon Top 1000 reviewers (there was a time when this was good advice, but this was when you could make the top 1000 by reviewing books. Now it seems you only have to review the free app of the day).
I downloaded this free, and it was worth the couple of hours I took to read it, but I think a new author would be better off with something more structured.

I must have missed the part where it said this book is for non fiction authors. The insights in the book are good, however I found nothing that other authors haven't told me, or that I found on the net.
The book in concise, and there were more things in there to do for non-fiction writers. I found if very interesting.

Great Information for Authors
