Aiming at Amazon: The NEW Business of Self Publishing, or How to Publish Books for Less, Sell Without Hassle, and Double Your Profit (or More) With Print on Demand and Book Marketing on Amazon.com
Product Description: There has never been a self publishing manual like this. It's NOT about getting your book into bookstores. Instead, it lays out an innovative approach focusing almost entirely on sales at Amazon.com. It's also NOT about working with a "self publishing company." Instead, it introduces the printer/distributor used by almost all those companies themselves. Let Aiming at Amazon reveal to you the NEW business of self publishing.
Great resource for self-publishers This book has been a great resource to me, giving me all the necessary insider information to successfully put together and publish my first book all on my own. Aaron is very detailed in his approach and shows you exactly how to e.g. word your title optimally and format your graphics for print on demand. His website also complements the book perfectly with updates and links to excerpts of the new version.
Makes selling books on Amazon much easier. Very good book at describing, in detail, the ins and outs of how to sell books on Amazon effectively. Not many books are so specific about "how" to do things and it is what I liked most about this book. Tremendously beneficial to me in promoting my own book!.. Highly recommended!!
Aiming At Amazon This is a fantastic book that does just what it promises. I used this book from start to finish to write and publish my own non-fiction book, and get it on Amazon. It was exactly what I needed and invaluable in my own book-writing endeavor, thanks Aaron!
If you are interested in self-publishing with Lightning Source, read this book! You have read all the stories of how hard it is to get a big time New York publisher to publish your book, and author service firms like iUniverse and Xlibris seem to expensive..., so what do you do?
Well one alternative is Print On Demand (POD) by going direct to the source of most POD books, Lightning Source.
Shephard gives a high level primer with some very good tips and shortcuts on how to make the new publishing model work for you.
The goal of the book (and hopefully your publishing efforts) is to make money. Shepard never loses sight of this and points out that when dealing with the worlds largest online bookstore, there are some differences you should consider than traditional publishing methods.
Things like...
- Optimizing your cover for display on Amazon. - How to deal effectively with PDF files. - The practical economics of POD.
Already I have picked up a tip or two which more than justifies the cost of the book, and will speed up the process with my next book.
What you learn is it is really not that hard, you just need to learn what to do.
Shepard will take you by the hand and shorten your learning curve.
Cheers!
Just what I was looking for. I read this book in one sitting on an airplane. It covers exactly the information I was looking for. The author uses the book itself as an example of many of the points he is making. It is clearly written and easy to understand. In a world where everyone is publishing, this book gives the insight needed to get your book on the market. All along I have been thinking, I want to market my book on Amazon.com. I was delighted to see a book with the title that speaks exactly to my need. You will find this book useful if: - you are adventurous enough to become your own publisher - you don't care about seeing your book in book stores - you are willing to let go of beautiful cover art - you need to be practical and keep expenses down
I look forward to putting his advice into practice.
