"An amazingly rich collection of cutting-edge promotional tactics and strategies. Makes most other books about online publicity look sickly."

Customer Reviews

This book has been reviewed extensively so I will just give a quick response as to why I liked it. There are not only a lot of good suggestions and explained nuances of marketing your book, it's a really easy read. Mr. Weber doesn't bog you down with long terminology and fluffed out explanations. It is straight and to the point. Some of the subjects may be obvious to you or you may already be employing them, others will have you saying, "Wow, I would have never thought of that".

I would recommend going to the author's web site, which is mentioned in the book as there are some aspects that are now out dated, but updates are available online (not a surprise, with how fast things change in the online world). Two other books I would recommend for some companion information if you are a self publisher are 101 Reasons Why You Must Write A Book: How to Make A Six Figure Income by Writing and Publishing Your Own Book and The Well-Fed Self-Publisher: How to Turn One Book into a Full-Time Living.
