Review: Not what I expected
Rating: 3 out of 5
Date: 08 21, 2013
As a Kindle author I was very interested in this booklet. While I applaud the author for her success I was disappointed in the fact that she did not give explicit directions on the procedures she talked about in promoting books. She just told you to "do it" not what steps to take. So basically she gave you the idea and then you were on your own. Unless you or someone you know is technically savvy, her suggestions would be difficult to follow. Addition to this review: If you give this author 3 or less stars you can expect a heated email. You can check this fact on your own by reading all her reviews with 3 stars or less. This is her response to me: "I'm not sure why you couldn't find all of my steps in the book...but they are there. I revealed everything I used that resulted in my success. I felt it was important to share that as too many times authors are secretive about how they become successful. And I do mention exactly what I did and how. Perhaps you don't know how to use Twitter, Facebook or Hootsuite (in which case, you'd best learn as these are vital tools for an author) or you are a very new author. Or perhaps you skimmed the book? I don't know. But if you're not seeing great sales, it may be worth rereading and taking notes. I still do 90% of everything I talk about in this book when I'm marketing a Select free promotion, and I use many of these techniques for books I put on sale. Best wishes! :-)" I am thinking the smiley face at the end was meant to take the bite out of her words. Avid Reader
