I was expecting a book with this title to be packed full of marketing methods but that is not the case. Instead, the author provides a wealth of information on preparation and does not get to the actual marketing until, per my Kindle, about 67% into the book. For all those that have dove head first into the marketing cesspool and gotten poor results, this guide that will enable you to back up and take another look at your writing career. This is a must read for anyone trying to "get rich writing Kindle books."As someone with a book listing site, I see far too many wasting their time on guru courses that teach little more than how to scam the system. It's not possible and this book is a wake up call as to the amount of work needed to achieve long term success. The author is an online marketer and some of the information such as tracking codes will be confusing and taxing for many. However, this is good information that you won't find in most other book marketing guides. Whether you use all the tactics or just a few, it will encourage you to look at your writing as a business and either help you make it a reality or save you wasted time doing something that isn't for you.I found this book in a Goodreads group and received a free copy in exchange an honest review. For that reason, I vacillated between giving it 4 or 5 stars but went with the 5 because it is well written, all encompassing and has a good number of valuable links. If you are looking for strictly quick marketing tips, this is not the book. If you are serious about a writing career, I recommend it as reference book to add to your collection.
