Write & Market an Amazon Best Seller

You’ve written your book. That separates you from all the people who only talk about writing a book, but never get it done. You did it. You’re published! Hands clapping!

Now you have to sell it. But how??

You write a book and then your book floats adrift among the other thousands of eBooks. Few will even know it exists.

Luckily, there are tools.

My Best Seller Book

I am the author of 12 eBooks. One has been a frequent best seller on Amazon.com.

The book, “Unvanquished: How Confederate Women Survived the Civil War”, is a collection of 50 diary excerpts of Confederate women written during the Civil War.  I was curious how these women survived. Many were alone with large families to support without their husbands. They often were on the brink of starvation.

Originally I thought I only needed to write the book. And it would sell on its own

I had worked hard on the book, reading 100 Civil War diaries and selecting only the most interesting selections. I knew people were interested in the history of the Civil War, so I thought the book would sell. Ha!

But sales were eerily slow... What happened?

Slowly I realized I wrote the book, but now I must SELL the book. I needed to become a marketer and be good at it, and quick.
