Beware of Amazon ApathyO 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

webinar or podcast / radio interview

How To Create Buzz

fiction booksO Use affiliate links for those products so you

into the book where they don’t belong it can affect your reputation negatively
