**3.5 Stars**My novel has done really well on Kindle, landing on many Kindle bestsellers lists since it was published in late 2011. But marketing is a never-ending learning experience, so I read books like Cheryl's often to see if I can glean any new knowledge that will help me with my marketing strategy.This title was interesting and, for me, certainly worth the money. I can't say that I learned very much from it (although a newbie and/or someone who hasn't yet found her readers certainly would), but I did enjoy reading about her personal journey, especially with KDP Select.My two cents on KDP Select: For most new indie authors, experimenting with KDP Select & running free promos is certainly worthwhile. It's much more competitive than it was just a month ago, but still, it's powerful. Probably one of the most effective marketing tools many indie authors have access to.I've given away nearly 100,000 free books over the course of 4 promos and have seen **amazing** sales in the days and weeks following 3 of the 4. I've also had many of these readers return to Amazon to review my novel (as of today, the total is 217)--and, as you know, reader reviews are incredibly important when it comes to future sales.Not everyone will see success with it, but, IMO, it's certainly worth giving it a try.Other worthwhile books like this:The Indie Journey: Secrets to Writing SuccessMake A Killing On Kindle Without Blogging, Facebook Or Twitter: The Guerilla Marketer's Guide To Selling Ebooks On Amazon
