As a publisher of over 50 books on Amazon, I can share first hand that there is indeed a direct correlation between the number of reviews a title has and that title’s book sales.

The more reviews an author has (good or bad), the more he/she will sell. How many reviews?

Icom 208h Programming Software Download. I recommend getting as many as you can, but a good, realistic goal is 1-2 per month. So how do you go about getting yourself more reviews?

By issuing a call to action! Thankfully, Amazon does this automatically on its Kindle books with a pop up screen at the end of the Kindle book asking the reader to leave a review (& providing a live link to make it easy for them to do so). Of course that assumes they get to the end of your book. So I recommend you provide your readers an added incentive to post an honest review earlier in the book. Perhaps halfway through.

Tell them that you would be grateful for their authentic feedback (whether it’s good bad) and that you are willing to provide something in return. I say honest because I’m not going to just give someone a 5-star review because they asked me to. If your reviews are only good reviews, they won’t carry as much weight when readers see your other reviews. This is yet another good reason why it’s important to have your book available on Kindle. If your print & kindle editions are properly linked, any reviews left on your Kindle edition will also show up on the listing for your print edition. Still struggling with getting your book up on Kindle, Nook, or iBooks?

Dear Authors, I received several emails shortly after Amazon announced the KDP Select program in early 2012. Everyone was asking me what I thought they should do. I honestly couldn’t answer because I didn’t know the answer! But today, I can. Barrino Sam Istinu Pdf. I received an email from a past client that validates how incredibly powerful the KDP Select program can be! Keep in mind this is a first book, she published it herself (with our help) and is just about to finish her 1 week KDP promotion of offering her Kindle book at a $0.00 price on Amazon (which you get to do only if you sign up for KDP Select).

As of today (3/5/12), in the short time it’s been up (since 3/1/12), she’s had over 30,000 downloads and is currently ranked #1 in the historical fiction category and #5 Overall (Free) Kindle books (whoa!). She’s even outselling Charles Dickens!

Time will tell whether or not the explosion in exposure will translate into sales, it’s her only book. And she’ll be putting a price back on her book on 3/8/12). But based on Nancy’s experience – I would give an enthusiastic thumbs up on the KDP Select program. If you are a talented author, as is, you can see how much of a boost the KDP Select program gives.

I would not be surprised if she gets calls from NYC literary agents and major publishers. Not bad for a first time author who just published her first book on Amazon 3 months ago!

I wanted to send out a quick update this unusual to say the least, but two of the books I just finished are now among the top.5% of all Kindle books sold. In other words, they’ve broken into the coveted top 5000 spot I often speak of.

This equates to a huge amount of visibility (& profit) to both the authors. The two titles I am very proud to have worked on are and just published to Kindle that are among the top.5%: • by Jim Henry • by Don McGrath, Ph.D. As of today (2/29/12) – here are their rankings respectively: I often tell authors – if you have a single goal, it should be to break into the top.5% of Kindle books. The rewards will be reflected on your commissions report and you’ll be hooked to doing it again. This entry was posted in,, on.

Another example of how much Amazon an Kindle are transforming the traditional publishing industry, and how accessible publishing is now; 20% of the top 10 best selling Kindle books of 2011 were self-published! Back in May of 2011, Darcie Chan (a former Coloradoan) self-published her she had written 5 years ago that was rejected by over a dozen publishers. There is a in the Wall Street Journal on her rise to the top, in it they state “ book publishers are losing ground to independent authors and watching their powerful status as literary gatekeepers wither.” Also on the best seller list was by Chris Culver, another self-published author.

Wondering which Kindle books are the hot sellers right now? Check out the running Top Seller list. Interesting to note, that given it’s the start of a new year – Brian Tracy’s is currently in the Top 10. FYI, I’m hosting a through the end of February. The first one is this coming Wednesday, Jan. 11 at 4PM MST.

While they are intended to be general Q&A (since I get a lot of the same questions on a daily basis), I plan to spend a portion of the time analyzing and discussing the strategies and tactics these and other best selling authors are using to become top sellers in this new evolving era of digital publishing.

Keywords determine how often your book shows up in each marketplace, so it’s vital that you take time and choose wisely! This is one of the major reasons I advise my clients to avoid using 3rd party aggregators. Amazon allows you to use up to 512 characters for your keywords, so be sure to make full use of all the space they provide to fill your listing with relevant keywords.

Barnes & Noble only allows you to use up to 100 characters for your keywords, so be extra careful with that limited space they provide. Here’s where you list your keywords in the back-end of your Kindle book listing: There are two great tools I recommend you become familiar with as you get seek out relevant keywords; &. There’s tons of great resources around the web on how to use Google Insights & Google will show you how when you visit their site. Netspeak.org on the other hand has little documentation to go off, so I created this video walk-through to show you how I use NetSpeak to come up with keyword ideas for the titles I setup: Let me know if you need my help in optimizing your marketplace (Amazon,BN,Apple,etc.) listing for you, I do charge a very small fee, but I’m confident that the resulting increased book sales will provide a quick return on investment (ROI). Alternatively, you can attend our and learn to do it yourself.

You might heard about that talked about this relatively new paradigm in depth (you can still download the entire 7 hour unabridged audio book ). The question is (or the argument presented), that you can sell more books by giving your book away (online, perhaps as a free download). Let me make this clear: I do believe the freemium model can be good for authors. But you need to have some strategy behind it, and it’s going to take more effort than just providing a link to download your book for free (which I don’t recommend you do). Unless you are a high paid speaker (like Chris Anderson), giving away your entire book for free may make you famous, but I know a lot of poor famous people.

Take note to what they refer to in the app world as the ‘freemium model.’ Over 1/3 of all downloads from the iTunes app store are free. But I don’t suggest you just give away your entire book for free, because doing so devalues the book itself, and people generally don’t pay attention to something they perceive as little value.

GigaOM posted an about how the iTunes app developers are leveraging the free apps. I do want you to pay particular notice however that GigaOm itself is using the freemium model themselves: That post I just referred you to is free, but in it, there’s a teaser to read an article that is available by subscription only. So how can authors adopt the freemium model to sell more books? • Create mini-versions of your book and post them to several of the 3rd party aggregator sites for free (ie.

Scribd, Smashwords, Feedbooks, etc.). • Strategically implant hyperlinks throughout your free book to your own *website (or directly to your listing on Amazon (Amazon will appreciate that) – offer a relevant compelling download in return for their email address. • You might try to us an auto-responder that send your prospects a series of carefully planned emails, each of with more reasons to buy your book. • Create.99 mini versions of your book and put them on Kindle.

Amazon will be rolling out ‘Amazon Singles’ soon which are mini-versions of popular books to give readers a taste (a step towards a ‘pay-to-preview’ strategy which Amazon already has patents on). • Give your readers some ‘exclusive’ content in return for joining your facebook page.

Facebook is great because it allows you to interact more and more with your readers. One of the fears an author/publisher has is the ease file sharing technology allows to share content, which in fact, that ebooks (pdfs) are one of the most pirated items.

To prevent this from potentially stealing your profits, take a tip from, and (now up to his 16th edition): release new editions of your book annually nobody will want last years copy when the find out a new edition is available. The changes each of those title usually makes are minor, but buyers still don’t want the older editions.
