Plan to Promote Your Book
Of course, the book is geared towards authors. So my plan was originally never to make a public announcement of it on the forums.
However, I am so happy with the response this has gotten in just a few days. It is now ranked on Amazon as #635 out of almost 90,000 free books for Kindle. It is #1 in the 'Writing Skills' category.
I am posting here to ask for help from all of you on this last day. Please help us climb the ranks even further. Every time someone downloads the book it is like a vote. So please even if you aren't author just go to the Amazon page for the book and download the book while it is still free.
If you can, please try to read at least the one-page intro too.
I really think this book will help even more authors find this awesome community!
Thank you for your help!

Since many people on this site will likely be reading this book, maybe you can set up a topic or subforum in the Writing section for further discussions on the methods you suggest.

It's hard to say since I only read the intro so far. I defer to your judgment.Scott wrote:Good idea. Are you suggesting a different topic for each section of the book or maybe just one topic for the whole book?

I think that adding a 'marketing and promotion' section for the book within the writing section is a great idea!

#329 nowALynnPowers wrote:I took the night watch to follow the rankings! (Okay, fine, it was daytime the whole time here, and I had nothing else to do with my Sunday!) But I did check every now and then and witnessed the number continue to drop below 400! At the time I am writing this, it is a #351 in the free book store! Whoo hoo!
I still can't get over how awesome that first review is.
It's been number one in its category for a while now too. But to be #329 out of almost 90,000 free books is awesome, especially considering this book really has such a specific market. I think that's a truly amazing rank for a book in this category. The book has become its own proof: its now a bestselling book about promoting books.
So thank you all so much for helping me with this!
And thank you to ALynnPowers who helped me a lot with this project. For those who don't know, ALynnPowers is a published author herself. In fact, please checkout her Author Page on Bookshelves and add some of her books to your shelves to thank her on my behalf!
