How To Sell Your Books By The Truckload On eBook Penny C Sansevieri
This is perhaps a good introduction, but you won't find any startling insights into Amazon's business model here. Still, there are good things to try. I personally think Shelfari and Goodreads are wastes because they're so user unfriendly--I think Amazon just bought them to eliminate potential future competition. I would have preferred more stats and suggestions based on them. Is there an optimum number of days for free promos, for example? Is a weekend free promo better than during the week? How do you choose reviewers who will review self-pubbed ebooks? The screen shots don't work on my Amazon PaperWhite, so I have to glean too much out of context. Either I'm a Luddite (I am for many computer things) or some of those URLs just don't work. Still, this is a good start for anyone trying to use Amazon to raise their book(s) above the average sea level, but it won't guarantee you a tsunami (nothing well, of course--that's luck, pure and simple). Another good job, Penny.Product details

How To Sell Your Books By The Truckload On eBook Penny C Sansevieri Reviews
I purchased this book assuming I would gain some powerful insight that would take my sales to a new level. I picked up a few gems, but the majority of advice is pitched at the novice. A very short book which disappointed me
This book is out of date. no longer has many of the features this book claims it to have. Moreover, the book is so short I was done with it nearly before I started it. You will not learn how to sell a truckload of books by buying this one. I must say, however, the title is a good, if not truly descriptive.
I tend to avoid how-to books about publishing. In my experience the authors over complicate the subject to the point where I throw my hands up and say, "I'm never going to understand how this works. I need an agent/publisher/publicist." And just like that I'm back to the query-and-wait game. Penny Sansevieri's book is the exception. Brief and to-the-point, HOW TO SELL YOUR BOOKS BY THE TRUCKLOAD ON AMAZON.COM sets out exactly what an author needs to know to make the most of this high-powered marketplace.
In under thirty minutes, I learned how to pick the best keywords for my book, how to maximize the impact of my author page, how being smart about categories can help position my project, and how to find respected reviewers. My only regret is that I didn't read it with a pen in my hand. If I'd done that, by the time I finished it, I'd have had a complete action plan for getting my book's sales machine in gear. That's why I think that, even though Sansevieri wrote her book for ALL writers working with , it is a real find for those of us toying with the idea of going independent.
I hate to give the book a poor rating, but I think the title is misleading, and the information supplied superficial and limited. If the title was "How to Use Your Author Page, and How to Manipulate 's Algorithm," I might have given it another star.
The author is an indie book marketing guru who has figured out that the only real money to be made from the self publishing world is, for the most part, from indie authors themselves. That's cool. We need marketing gurus.
The book, however, seems to me to be a marketing tool itself. For the author, that is. Which is cool, too, so long as you know.
All the book really does is to suggest ways to manipulate the algorithm. No doubt, it's important to understand how works. But manipulation of the system never works for long. For example, the book suggests that an author use the names of well-known authors as keywords. does not allow this anymore. It's kind of underhanded, anyway.
The chapters discuss certain elements of in a very superficial way. That's not to say that there is no useful information in the book. It does explain how to use the Author Central page, and gives ideas on how to categorize your book, and how to contact top reviewers, and gives other links and important information.
But that's all it does. But the book is entitled "How to Sell Your Books by the Truckload on " There's more to it, though, than how to manipulate the algorithms, which only works until gets wise.
What about
How to write a good blurb
How to use Goodreads
How to use social media
Blogging and websites
Good editing
Good covers and titles
etc.
I know the book only costs 1.99, and that there are other books available on these subjects. But why the title? Actually, that's probably the biggest lesson to be learned from the book. Make sure you have a catchy title. Ah, I can sell books by the truckload! Must be a magic bullet. I must have it.
If you want some insight into how works, and a couple of things you can try to do to affect the algorithm, the book is helpful. If you want to know how to sell books by the truckload on , it's not the answer.
I liked how short and to-the-point this was. However, as other reviewers have pointed out, there are TONS of books like this out there, and I've read a good chunk of them; so for me, the information was nothing new and actually a bit too basic (also, outdated). I usually try to avoid judging books solely in comparison to other books, but this niche topic I think warrants a compare-and-contrast. Since there actually isn't a magical formula that guarantees truckload-worthy results (surprise, surprise), and there's a limit to marketing suggestions that indie authors can get, I usually judge these books by how the information is presented to me rather than just the content itself. So that being said, Penny's writing style was casual, terse, and direct, but perhaps too terse and direct -- I wish she embellished the information a bit more with some personal experience, examples, etc. etc. -- something that would make me feel a bit better about shelling out money for something I already know.
So overall, this is a good introductory book as a way for newbie authors to ease their way into the industry. But don't expect to actually sell your books by the truckload just by reading this book, or by reading any other how-to books, for that matter.
