A Personal Word from the Author
I've been publishing books successfully for years before ebooks became popular. But I was never satisfied with the sales I was getting. So, I buckled down and started learning how online book marketing really worked. This took me through half a hundred "expert" ebooks, thousands of web-pages, and countless real-world tests.
I figured out how to do this for little or nothing more than what I already had. I found out you don't have to have fancy equipment or programs to create your books. And that time-consuming Social Media and expensive advertising doesn't sell your books - but applying these discoveries will.
In my tests, I started routinely getting sales from books which had sat dormant for years,You don't have to spend the months I did to work this all out. Or buy all the books I have just to compile their hidden methods. Now this one book tells you all these secrets, so you can get your booksales rocketing, too.
