This is great 'how to' guide. There are the usual hints and tips about how to promote your ebook - which is definately the hardest past of being a self published author, but there are also lots of other valuable hints from an author who has quite literally been through it. I've read this book once and now I've started again with a pad and pencil by the side, so that i can write down the things i need to improve on with my own writing career. Thanks Conrad for sharing information and supporting other authors.
This book covers both tips for the production and pricing of ebooks as well as the promotion. It is nicely set out and easy to follow but does not go into details.
Strange to write a review of a book that tells you to write reviews, but here goes. A lot of this book is about promotion and marketing, so any author hoping to find some secret formula for huge sales without having to do any of that boring marketing stuff will be disappointed. Of course they will. If you want tips to make you and your book(s) sell then this contains enough ideas to get you busy. It will not magically transform your novel into a bestseller but it will hopefully get you started on new ways to get more people to read your book.
