Penny Sansevieri provides a healthy dose of guidance for anyone wanting to sell books on amazon. The book is simple and practical. It will be especially useful for those that are new to selling on amazon, but even those who have sold a lot will learn a thing or two to help them sell truck loads.This book is actually two books. The first focuses on selling more on amazon. “How To Sell Your Books By The Truckload” focuses on strategies such as understanding amazon, researching keywords, book ideas, amazon's algorithms, using keywords, using amazon central author pages, the importance of amazon categories, pricing, amazon headlines, sending traffic to your page, promotions, and some she calls fun amazon hacks.The second book is “How To Get A Truckload Of Reviews.” This book covers topics such as why reviews are important, getting reviewed, understanding the process, advance reading copies, what to do before pitching reviewers, how to find reviewers, crafting book review pitches, other ways to pitch your book, turning your book into a sales tool, how to find top amazon reviewers, how to respond to reviews, review incentives, goodreads, and more, including some bonuses.I have seen some “how to sell books/e-books” that teach some ways that I don't feel are ethical, and that I certainly wouldn't ever do. Penny Sansevieri does not teach or advocate those practices that I feel are unethical. She provides solid advice, that will take some work, but that will help you sell more and get more reviews.Obviously, you must first write a good book. Nothing will save a book that is not written well, or that is full of trash. So write a good book, and if you want some strategies to help you get reviews and sell more, Sansevieri's guide will help you do just that.
