Having downloaded this excellent book onto Kindle for PC, I have found it to be concise, clear and covers essential areas to be adressed in order to maximise sales. In particular, I found the section on self-publishing via Lighting Source illuminating. Thank you Dana for an excellent guide.

This review is from: How to Sell More Books on Amazon (Kindle Edition)

I read lots of how-tos on book promotion. I usually figure that I'll just get a little review on something I'm already doing and maybe a nudge to do something I've been putting off.

Because I talk about how important Amazon is in my The Frugal Book Promoter: How To Do What Your Publisher Won't, I didn't expect to learn a lot from this Savvy Marketer book. But Amazon changes names, changes links, adds new ideas, and strays from old features s-o-o-o fast, I figured it was time for an update. I was right. I learned a few things I didn't know before and it didn't take me three days to plough through material I couldn't use anyway. It's wonderful when an author knows what will be useful, what is just chafe. Hooray for Dana!
