This was a great book. It taught me what it takes to be successful as an ebook entrepreneur.According to the author, the trick is to publish short, inexpensive books and to publish them FAST. One also needs to pack them full of information so that readers feel that they got a good deal for the little bit of money they spent. In addition, one needs to fill each book with information about other books that one offers so that readers are compelled to purchase additional titles. Not only did this book tell me what I needed to know, it also SHOWED me what to do because the book itself is an example of the author's strategy.The only thing I didn't like about this book is that it is too short. But of course, this is in keeping with the author's marketing strategy. Nevertheless, readers should know that this book will not do them much good unless they also learn how to a) quickly research a topic and come up with ideas for ebooks that will sell and b)market these books by placing information about each of them inside of each other. This book does not explain how to do these things and you will have to buy two other books from the same author in order to get that information. The two other books are:How to Discover Best-Selling Nonfiction eBook Ideas - The Bulletproof Strategyand61 Ways to Sell More Nonfiction Kindle Books.Steve Scott's marketing strategy works because ebook consumers are irrational. They want ten dollars worth of information for three dollars. But an author can't give them that or he won't make any money. So Scott has stopped lamenting this problem and has learned how to deal with it brilliantly. Instead of trying to sell them ten dollar books, he breaks the books up into three parts and sells them piecemeal. It worked on me and I have no doubt that it will work on your readers.I highly recommend this book.
