I must first tell you that I knew Dan Poynter's name from having bought his self-published book. But I did not read it at that time. My wife and I consult and write books and we ran into Dan in a United Club in Denver and I was bold enugh to introduce myself and express interest in his work. He was kind in chatting with me for an hour and the conversation drove me back to his books.When I bought this particular book, I had just placedThe Leopard Tree, our novel, in the program and picked three free days in a row. By following Dan's advice in this book, we had great exposure and there were 10,800 downloads in the three days. When we went back to selling books, we were selling 25 a day for awhile. Now we average two books a day. Clearly we have more work to do, but Dan's advice was right on the money. I only used about half the promotional suggestions he gave on those first three free days on Amazon. This weekend we have our book up for two more free days and I am doing every single thing Dan suggests exactly.He has an amazing personal story and continues to innovate in the books he puts out. I am grateful to have gotten a little acquainted with him personally and especially grateful for this particular book. I'm reading it for the third time this week. Thanks, Dan.Tim Merriman
