Best Seller Secrets Lesson #1 - Becoming An Amazon Best Seller
SUBJECT: Best Seller Secrets Lesson #1 - Becoming An Amazon Best Seller
{!firstname_fix}
Everyone would like to have a bestselling book, but very few
people will ever achieve it. Have you ever wondered why that is?
Is it because some people are better writers than others?
Possibly. But have you ever wondered why some people who aren’t
great writers end up on the bestseller lists while fantastic
writers often struggle to sell a handful of copies?
The answer, of course, is promotion!
Most writers, especially self-published ones, upload their book
and just sit back waiting for the magic to happen. Then they
wonder why no one is buying their book.
Would you expect to start a website and get a ton of traffic
without any promotion? Would you expect to start a restaurant
and get a ton of diners without any promotion? Then why expect
to write a book and sell a ton of copies without any promotion?
Promotion is the key to almost every bestseller you can think
of. Very few books have taken off without some kind of promotion
behind them.
The overall plan for marketing your book has one main purpose…
to make your book shoot up the bestseller lists on Amazon to
gain the most visibility possible. Once your book makes it onto
the various bestseller lists on the Amazon site, your sales will
really take off.
But just like it takes money to make money, it takes sales to
make sales. You need enough sales to propel your book up those
lists, and then your book will take off on its own.
So how does the Amazon system work, anyway?
There are two main built-in promotional tools on the Amazon
website that can help market your book:
1. Also Bought – If you visit a fairly popular product on
Amazon, you’ll notice a section that says “Customers Who Bought
This Item Also Bought”. Then you’ll see a number of different
products listed that people who bought that item also bought.
Usually, the items are fairly closely related. For books, it’s
usually other books in the same genre. Once several people buy
your book along with some other book, your book will start
appearing in the list of stuff people bought on the page of that
other book, thus sending you more potential buyers.
2. Bestseller Lists – The bestseller lists are invaluable for
book marketing. There is a main bestseller list for all of
Amazon, plus individual bestseller lists for different
categories. Your book could end up on several bestseller lists
if you list it in multiple categories. Additionally, there’s a
list for new stuff that only features products released
recently, so it’s important to market your book right from day
one!
This plan is meant not only to solicit direct sales, but also to
hopefully push you onto various bestseller lists in order to
give you the huge boost in sales associated with being on these
lists
If you don’t make it onto any bestseller lists, don’t fret. Not
everyone does. Sometimes there’s just too much competition in
your category, and sometimes your book just isn’t quite what
buyers are looking for.
Even if you don’t make it onto the bestseller lists, you will
still be able to take advantage of the “Also Bought” lists. This
will happen naturally as people purchase your book along with
others.
These two things are the ultimate goal of all other promotion,
as they are usually going to be much more powerful than any
other single promotion method alone.

Best Seller Secrets Lesson #2 - Proper Categorization & Keywords
SUBJECT: Best Seller Secrets Lesson #2 - Proper Categorization & Keywords
{!firstname_fix}
One thing a lot of people miss when uploading their book is to
use proper categorization and keywords. If you miss this
critical step, your book is going to be very difficult for
readers to locate.
Amazon actually makes it relatively simple for your book to be
found. You don’t even have that much competition in most niches,
because the majority of people don’t know how to do this
properly.
When you submit your book to KDP, you’re allowed to choose two
categories for your book. Depending on your keywords, you could
also show up in other categories, especially sub-categories of
the one you choose.
Be sure to choose your two categories carefully. Find the two
that are closest to your book, even if it doesn’t fit perfectly
into any one category.
You can choose up to seven (7) keywords for your book. This
includes keyword phrases. Choose carefully!
If your book is about weight loss with a low calorie diet, you
might use:
Weight loss, lose weight, losing weight, low calorie diet, low
calorie weight loss, quick weight loss, lose weight fast
Separate the keyword phrases with commas when you add them. The
system will tell you when you have 0 keywords left.

Best Seller Secrets Lesson #3 - Ways To Get Reviews
SUBJECT: Best Seller Secrets Lesson #3 - Ways To Get Reviews
{!firstname_fix}
Reviews don’t bring actual sales to your book, because those
reviews are from people who have already read the book. But what
reviews do is to encourage those people who come across your
book to buy it.
Many people aren’t even willing to buy a book from an author
they’ve never heard of unless there are good reviews for the
book, so reviews are critical if you’re a relatively unknown
author.
There are many ways to get reviews for your book, but be sure
you do it in an ethical way that won’t upset Amazon. First,
we’ll take a look at a few good ways to get reviews. Then, we’ll
look at some ways you should never use to get reviews.
Ways to Get Reviews
There are a few ways you can get reviews without being dishonest
or resorting to tactics that could get you banned from KDP
forever.
1. Review Copies – Giving away free copies of your book in
exchange for reviews is a great idea, but make sure you tell
people they are not required to leave a review, and that if they
do, their review should be completely honest. If you require a
review, or if you ask for only 4-star and 5-star reviews, it is
considered a paid review. Just state that honest reviews are
appreciated. You can find people who want review copies at a
variety of different places such as Kboards.com, GoodReads.com
and various Facebook pages that relate to your book’s genre.
2. Giveaways – In addition to giving copies to people
specifically for review purposes, you can also hold giveaways in
order to get more people to read and potentially review your
book. Some sites (like GoodReads.com) only allow giveaways of
printed copies of your book, but others allow eBooks.
3. Inside the Book – Don’t forget a very simple way to get
people to leave reviews of your book. At the end of your book,
simply include a note asking people to leave a review if they
liked the book. Many people simply don’t think about doing this,
so a friendly reminder doesn’t hurt.
4. Bloggers – We’ll have an entire section on this later, but
for now, just remember that many book bloggers will also leave
their review on Amazon and other book selling websites after
they post it on their blog.
Ways NOT To Get Reviews...
Don’t ever be tempted to do any of these things in an attempt to
get reviews. To do so would not only risk getting the reviews
deleted, but could even potentially cause you to lose your
Amazon account forever! Don’t risk it!
1. Paid Reviews – Some people sell reviews on sites such as
Fiverr or other similar websites. Don’t ever do this! If Amazon
finds out you’ve paid someone to review your book, you could
definitely lose your entire account! Paid reviews are the
biggest no-no as far as reviews are concerned.
2. Good Reviews in Exchange for a Copy – It’s fine to give away
copies of your book and ask people to please give you an honest
review on Amazon after they’ve read it. However, it is not okay
to ask for or demand positive reviews. When giving away free
copies, always state you are looking for honest reviews.
3. Exchanging Reviews – One popular method is for authors to
give each other’s books 5-star reviews in exchange for the other
author doing the same for them. This is not a good practice! If
Amazon discovers this happening, your reviews are likely to be
deleted, and they could even ban your account from KDP!
4. Friends and Family – Many new authors ask their friends and
family to leave reviews. This could backfire in a big way if
Amazon ever finds out. Not only that, but if another author or
buyer finds out, they will potentially destroy your name by
telling everyone they know. This has happened to many authors.
Don’t risk it!

Best Seller Secrets Lesson #4 - Social Marketing
SUBJECT: Best Seller Secrets Lesson #4 - Social Marketing
{!firstname_fix}
Social marketing is especially effective for marketing books,
because people naturally love to talk about books they enjoy,
and there are plenty of different avenues available for
promotion.
If you’re marketing something else, such as socks or DVDs, there
aren’t as many avenues open for promotion through social media.
There aren’t fan pages devoted to them, and if there are, they
don’t allow blatant promotion.
With books, it’s greatly different. There are many different
groups and pages on Facebook alone that allow promotion of your
books as long as you follow their rules, and not only do they
allow promotion, they often encourage it!
Even if you can’t find any Facebook fan pages that are devoted
to your genre, you can create one! Creating and maintaining a
fan page is quick and easy, and it can be used for more than
just promoting your book. You can also use it to promote
affiliate products and other products you produce, as well.
Facebook
Facebook is perhaps the single most powerful social website for
authors. You should have a fan page specifically for you, as an
author. You may also want to have one for your book or book
series.
To take advantage of other fan pages, search for groups and fan
pages devoted to your niche or genre, especially those that
focus specifically on books. Check their rules, and if they
allow self-promotion, do so!
If they don’t allow self-promotion, contact the page’s owner
privately and ask if there is a way to promote your book on
their page. They may be open to paid promotion, or they may even
offer to promote your book for free, especially if you give them
a free copy or allow them to do a giveaway on their page.
Additionally, many official bookseller fan pages allow
promotion. Amazon’s Kindle page allows authors to self-promote
once each week, so take advantage of all those Kindle owners!
Twitter
Twitter is another great tool for authors if you use it
properly. You can’t just tweet your books over and over an
expect people to pay attention. Instead, use it to interact with
fans. They can become your “book ambassadors”, promoting the
books for you!
If you become personal friends with some of your fans, all
you’ll have to do is post a tweet and ask people to “re-tweet”
it for you and you’ll potentially reach thousands of people very
quickly!
Pinterest
Pinterest is a growing social platform which mostly focuses on
sharing images. You create “pin boards” on which you “pin”
various images. You can create lists of books in your genre and
pin your own book to it. You can also ask other people to
“re-pin” your book. If you re-pin some of their things, they’ll
be more willing to re-pin yours.
In addition to making lists of books, you can also create pin
boards that feature things people who might read your book would
like. For example, if your book is about weight loss, you could
have pin boards such as:
* Cool running shoes
* Best workout wear
* Low calorie dessert recipes
* Low calorie soup recipes
* Best workout DVDs
You could link to your book in the description of every pin
board, getting you a lot more exposure than you would otherwise
get.
Don’t forget to share your pins and pin boards on Facebook,
Twitter and elsewhere in order to get as much exposure as
possible to all of them.
YouTube
YouTube is a great platform for promotion. You’ll need to have a
“book trailer” created for your book. This doesn’t have to be
extremely complex. A simple video with some music, a synopsis of
your book, and some images that go along with it will work fine.
Don’t forget to share your book trailer video on Facebook,
Twitter and other social sites for more exposure!
GoodReads & LibraryThing
GoodReads.com and LibraryThing.com are two social networks that
focus specifically on books. These sites are great for
promotion. In addition to holding giveaways there, you can visit
the various groups and participate. Just be sure to read the
rules in each individual group to find out what their rules are
regarding author participation. Since groups are individually
managed, each one has specific rules.

Best Seller Secrets Lesson #5 - Book Blogs And Giveaways
SUBJECT: Best Seller Secrets Lesson #5 - Book Blogs And Giveaways
{!firstname_fix}
One of the most valuable methods of book promotion is giving
free copies to bloggers in exchange for their reviews. Most
bloggers will only post the review on their blog, but
Keep in mind that many book bloggers only review fiction, so if
you have a non-fiction title you may not be able to find too
many people to review it for you. Bloggers typically review the
books they are interested in and nothing else.
Another thing to remember is that some book bloggers only review
printed books. If your book is only available in eBook format,
you may not be able to submit to certain blogs.
Do not send unsolicited eBooks to bloggers! Most of them do not
want this, and it will make some of them mad at you. Be sure to
read their rules carefully before you submit. Most of them want
you to send them a message first, usually with a synopsis of
your book, and if they want to read it they will ask for it.
It may take quite a while before a reviewer can get around to
reading and reviewing your book. Many of them have long queues
of people waiting to have their books reviewed, so be patient.
One last thing to keep in mind about book bloggers is that they
are not required to give you a specific review. Their review
could be good or bad.
To find book bloggers in your genre, search for things like
“book blog +niche” and “book reviews +niche”. There are also
lists of book review blogs online.
Book giveaways aren’t the only thing you can give away that will
get traffic to your books. If you contact various Facebook fan
page owners and book bloggers, you can offer them “swag” to give
away that features your book. This benefits them, because it
gets “shares” of their page, and it benefits you because your
book will be brought to the attention of all of their fans.
Typical swag includes:
* Bookmarks
* Posters
* Cloth bags printed with your book’s title, logo or cover
* T-shirts
* Printed pencil cases
* Jewelry related to your book’s theme
* Other items related to your book’s niche or genre
* Autographed copies of your book in print
You may want to create a graphic for the fan page to display
that tells people when the giveaway ends, what the prizes are,
and to “share” the post to enter the giveaway. Be sure to
include a picture of your book in the graphic, and ideally a
picture of the prizes, too.
You may want to include items for several winners in order to
increase interest so people think they have a better chance of
winning.

Best Seller Secrets Lesson #6 - Email Marketing
SUBJECT: Best Seller Secrets Lesson #6 - Email Marketing
{!firstname_fix}
As with any online marketing, you absolutely must build an email
list in order to market as effectively as possible. This is
especially true if you’ll be releasing more books in the same
niche or genre. However, even if you have only a single book,
email marketing can be beneficial for you.
It takes, on average, three times of seeing an advertisement for
something before someone buys. Thus, if you manage to get them
on your list, you have more chances to encourage them to buy
your book.
You can get people to opt-in to your list by simply including an
opt-in box on your blog or website, but if you give something
related to your niche or genre away, (such as a book excerpt, a
short story or a report) you will get more people to subscribe.
Once people are on your list, you can not only market your own
book, but books by other authors in the same genre as well as
related products.
For example, if your book is about weight loss, you could market
affiliate products like diet supplements and exercise equipment.
If your book is about online dating, you could refer sign-ups
through a CPA (cost per action) network and receive commission
sales.
If your book falls under internet marketing you could easily use
this to your advantage and sell higher-end products such as
online consultations and coaching programs and membership offers.
Think of your book as not a means to an end but to cast your net
further and expand your business and online presence.

Best Seller Secrets Lesson #7 - Your Book Cover
SUBJECT: Best Seller Secrets Lesson #7 - Your Book Cover
{!firstname_fix}
They say people shouldn’t judge a book by its cover, but the
fact is people definitely do. The cover is the very first thing
people usually notice, other than perhaps the title.
Think about it, would you buy a physical product if the
packaging was damaged or awful? Even though you know there's
probaby nothing wrong with the product inside you'd still
probably pick the one without the damage or bad packaging on it
wouldn't you?
To make matters worse, book publishing is becoming more and more
popular, some of which are direct competitors in your niche.
And with so many people investing in more 'make money'
opportunities, there is no sign this slowing down so the need to
kill off any competition becomes more serious!
That said, making your product stand out of the crowd is going
to be a challenge. Forget the quality of the product, or how
good you think it is, if you can't grab your prospect's
attention within the first few seconds you might as well give
up.
The right book cover can really make or break sales, so it’s
important to get the right one. An unprofessional cover will
scream “self-published”, and like it or not, many readers are
still wary of self-published titles.
Don’t think it’s enough to download a photo and write some text
on it with a free photo editor. Unless you can really create a
stunning cover yourself, it’s best to get a professional to
handle it.
Fortunately, book covers are remarkably inexpensive. They can be
purchased for as little as $20 from many different places, and
you can even get pre-made covers that will let you start using
your cover in a few hours instead of waiting for custom work to
be done.
Here are a few places to get a pre-made or custom book cover:
* getabookcover.com
* selfpubbookcovers.com
* premadebookcovers.com
* dreamscapebookcovers.com
* damonza.com
