“What I liked about the book:
I've read several books about selling ebooks and this is definitely one of the best ones! Ms. James really speaks directly to the author in a down to earth way without using a bunch of big words or filler words.
Since I've been an author for a year now and read several books like these I was looking for new tips that would help my sell books. This book definitely gave me some new things to consider when trying to sell my books. I found most of the tips to be practical and easy to do.
This book takes you from the writing stage to the publishing and marketing stage. It a very comprehensive guide. It's perfect for someone just starting out as a self-published author or someone looking to breath new life into their works.
There is a great list of resources that include links that a seasoned indie or a newbie indie would enjoy using.
What I didn't like about the book
I felt like the book at times only talked to self-published author who have a large budget. The author discusses how she paid a couple of hundred dollars for one stock photo that she used as a cover image. I don't know any of my author friends who are spending hundreds of dollars on one stock photo. Most of us can find a good stock photo for $30 max. The book also mentions spending $400 on an advertisement. I don't know if that would be very useful to people just starting out. She did provide very good links to sites with affordable services in other areas I should add. I only wish she would have talked about some more affordable stock image sites or paid ad sites.
Overall: This is a great book any indie author can use whether their new or seasoned and looking for ways to jump start their sales. I got this book for free and read it within about 2 hours. Even if i'd paid for it, it would have been worth the price for the thought provoking and useful information I learned.
