Review: How I Used the Information in This Book
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 09 11, 2013
I am an owner of several of Steve's books, and I believe that I have rated them all 5-stars.  They are excellent.I found this book to be solid overall. I mean, obviously the book is going to earn you 100x the purchase price of $1, right?  I rated this book 4-stars because it was good, but there are books out there that incorporate the pricing information relayed in this book, plus give authors a lot more advice in addition to that.This short book does a good job discussing the pros and cons of using KDP free promos, and suggests that 99c is often a better approach, and I agree.  Steve goes on to weigh the advantages of using several ways that 99c sales can be used to spur sagging sales or launch a book.  I liked how the author explained the effects 4 different 99c approaches had with his book sales when applied and tracked.I applied several of these 99c approaches with my own books 'Almost Free Money' and 'Passive Income for Life' (both of which have been #1 in Kindle categories), during slight down-ticks in sales, and 1-day pulses did jump-start sales again, in some cases.  I think that applicability of these sales is very dependent on multiple variables, including genre, time of the year, popularity of the author, and whether the book is part of a series.  Sometimes 99c sales work great, sometimes they don't.  Sometimes free promos work better than 99c sales, sometimes they don't.  The most important thing is to track book sales on a daily basis and see what works for you.  Steve discusses that in this book.Bottom line, this book is well worth $1 to read.  The info is well-organized for easy consumption.  Take 10-15 minutes, read it and decide how to use the info for yourself.
