Beware of Amazon Apathy O Don’t rely solely on Amazon for sales
O You want to bring in readers with other strategies O If you have a series of books – & each one is full
of value – you’ll attract more readers & sales O But you have to promote your book heavily so
people know about it

How to Create Buzz O Strategy-Be a Guest
O Contact potential hosts & suggest a JV webinar or podcast / radio interview
O Different hosts may be interested in your pre-
launch, launch or post-launch stages
O Make sure your book is a perfect fit with their audience
