Excellent Guide to Online Book Marketing
Someone once warned me that writing and publishing a book isn't as hard as promoting it. When I first started promoting my own novel, I quickly understood what he meant. How do I go about it? How much should I spend? Where should I focus my energy? Will I even get my novel into the bricks-and-mortar stores when thousands of other new books are also being released? If I can't, what do I do?
I found the answer in an extremely useful guide called PLUG YOUR BOOK by Steve Weber. Weber tells us how to navigate the enormous online opportunities available to all authors whether self-published or traditionally published. Weber discusses the benefits of building your own website, selling on Amazon, blogging and blog tours, plus social networking at places such as MySpace, and a host of other things to assist authors. What I especially like about this book is the amount of how-to detail offered, including e-mail addresses for various resources. As a bonus, Weber offers updated information on his website.
If you're stressing about promotion and don't know how to go about it, then this book is a must-read.

 If you're new to self publishing, this is a good place to start
I went through this book a few times and felt I got a good value out of it. Weber does do a nice job of providing some valuable insights on how to promote a book, many were eye-opening to me.
I've found other books a little easier to read, but in all fairness this wasn't bad at all. While I did find the majority of the book helpful and insightful, there were a few chapters in there (blogging), that were perhaps longer than they needed to be.
When it comes specifically in selling your book off of amazon.com, Weber does do a admirable job in explaining the pros and the cons of each promotion, and provides practical advice on which direction might be best for you.
If you're self publishing your book, and you're considering working with amazon.com, this is an inexpensive resource you should have in your library.

I wish he had written this book 15 years ago ( parisminton )
I wish Steve had written this book 15 years ago when my first books came out. But better late than never. I have found a path for increasing the number of my books sold. My pubisher is happy, I am happy and I hope Steve writes more on this subject. Follow Steve's advice and watch the books sell.
