Review: okay but out of date
Rating: 3 out of 5

The 26 pages of this book took no time to read. Ten minutes, maybe. Some of the ideas are interesting, others were helpful a year or two ago. This book isn't current, which I don't understand since it was published in April of 2013. For example, it suggested having people click the "like" beside your book. Amazon removed this feature and it is exclusively on author pages. The book doesn't tell you it's on Author Central, so you'd have to figure that out for yourself.Also, the book suggests putting your novel in multiple categories and with multiple keywords. Again, Amazon has made changes where only 2 categories you can add your book to (unless the publisher did so for you) and keywords have vanished. Which is a shame because when I published my book in April, I'd have loved to use keywords. You can use keywords in Shelfari and more categories, so we'll see if any of that translates over to Amazon.If you're trying to sell your book, ask for reviews from book bloggers, tweet your book (and join #ASMSG and #IAN1 where they tweet your book for you), have a social networking presence (twitter, facebook, goodreads) and make sure your book is well written and properly edited. That will sell your novel.
