Bob Baker's generosity in this book is exceptional. He gives a huge number of resources and a simple to follow road map that is ideal and useful for anyone wanting to marketing and sell their book (or any info product) on the Internet. This applies whether you're just starting your publishing journey or have been at it for awhile. As a bit of a veteran in this field myself, I was especially delighted to find instantly useful ideas that I'm eager to implement this week. Thanks, Bob, for all that you've provided. You've done a superb job of modeling how it can work well when doing it differently. Your book stands above the crowd of book marketing tools. I'm eager to let my world know about this excellent must-have addition for their tool box.

This review is from: 55 Ways to Promote & Sell Your Book on the Internet (Paperback)

As a newly self-published author, I am finding out that the hard part of writing a book is really what comes after: marketing. At first, I created a website, then naively did nothing else and hoped that buyers would find my book. Next, I started doing research on the internet about using the internet to market a book. I found myself overloaded at that point with options and information. Information-overload was almost as overwhelming as a lack of any information. I found myself wandering down a winding road, branching off into this site and that and wondering if I was on the right road at all.

"55 Ways to Promote & Sell Your Book on the Internet" is a really great guide, organized into logical sections, which really helped me to figure out a strategy.

Bob Baker offers good solid advice (one of the best pieces of advice being to be patient and be in this for the long-haul, not to think of it as a big splash-on-the-scene-and-then-stop type of effort). I used a lot of his suggestions and refer back to the book when I have questions.

I recommend this book to anyone looking for advice on internet marketing! I ordered the e-book so I could start reading it right away.

Thank you Bob Baker!
