This book is a MUST read for any author who wants to brush up on their marketing skills on Facebook and Amazon. I love that the book is short and to the point and is easy to follow, especially for someone like me who is somewhat technically challenged.I spent about two hours reading this book. During the process, I was able to stop in places and go immediately to my Author page on Amazon and my Author page on Facebook and incorporate some of Phyllis Zimber Miller's suggestions. Many of her tips and suggestions were not new to me. But some were and those are the ones I wish to highlight below.Two excellent examples that I immediately applied today to my author page on Facebook:1) I had no idea I could personalize my username on my Facebook author page. Phyllis gave excellent directions with links straight to her own page so I could easily see what she was talking about. In a matter of minutes, I logged onto Facebook and made those changes.2) Until I read Phyllis' book, I did not know I could add an author application on my author Facebook page that directs visitors straight to the two editions of my novel on Amazon.  Now when people stop by my Facebook author page, an attention grabbing image in the upper righthand side of my page says:  "READ MY BOOK." Once you click on the image, my author profile shows up with a brief bio, a link to my website, and links to my Kindle and paperback titles on Amazon.I HIGHLY recommend this short and excellent guide to all writers who do not have the time or inclination to learn these simple marketing tips on their own. I'm so glad I took a couple hours out of my day to read this book and make these changes.Thanks Phyllis.Kathleen M. Rodgers - author of THE FINAL SALUTE, ranked #1 on Amazon's Top Rated War Fiction
