I am a soon-to-be author who is looking to educate myself in the marketing of ebooks, and I have read a few Kindle marketing books.This one is solid gold. There are couple of really good nuggets in this book. Let me start first with Best Sellers Rank. It was explained better than other books that I have read, and it immediately made me get off my backside and test his techniques. Within 30 minutes I found two categories that looked good for the selection of my book. I looked at the categories that I had originally planned, and they were way too competitive based on his 'Rule of Thumb'HTML coding in Book Description was explained in Michael Alvear'sMake A Killing On Kindle (Without Blogging, Facebook Or Twitter). The Guerilla Marketer's Guide To Selling Ebooks On Amazon, but the addition here is a nifty little URL where you can test how your code looks. You don't want to have messy codes splattered all round your Book Description and wait for hours before Amazon updates them. Two days after I bought this book, I wanted to share the link with others, but i couldn't find the book by title. I searched by author name, and found his author page, where his Tweet feed mentioned that Amazon had banned his book. (Didn't he ask for it? With a title like that.) I panicked and wanted to save the HTML codes and test link. So I copied the AZW file of this book onto my computer. Thankfully, Amazon unbanned his book later. Now onto the gold nuggets that I mentioned.Gold nugget 1: How to get into How New Sellers category: this sweet tip is giving me diabetes! Its so straightforward when the author explains it. I dont want to expose it in the review, but will only say that its good.Gold Nugget 2: Analytics: I had heard a lot about Amazon not sharing the incoming urls, and authors having no way to track this. This was the real reason I got this book, and boy, DID HE DELIVER! As soon as the author mentioned Step 1 in the Analytics chapter, I realized where he was going and I told myself, "Shucks, this is Analytics 101! Its stupid simple."Final thoughts: This book and Michael Alvear's should really set up your marketing plans. Hope this is useful to you, if yes, click Yes, and then scroll up to read. I didn't regret getting this book, and I think you wont.
