How to Sell a Crapload of Books:: 10 Secrets of a Killer Author Marketing Platform

WRITTEN A BOOK? GOOD FOR YOU. PUBLISHED IT? AWESOME. WANT PEOPLE TO BUY IT? GET A PLATFORM.

In How to Sell a Crapload of Books, Tim Vandehey and Naren Aryal share 10 secrets about building a killer marketing platform that nobody else is talking about. We're not talking commonplace, no-duh advice like building your Twitter following or writing a professional press release, but straight talk like:

• Start building your platform at least a year before your book comes out

• Half of your marketing opportunities come because someone finds you by accident, and

• Forget the New York Times; focus on your local paper!

Today, being an author is about professionalism and determination, cleverness and creativity, technological savvy and old-fashioned hustle. If you want to sell books, get a publishing deal or even turn writing into a full-time career, you have to be a marketer, not just a writer. Let Tim and Naren show you how.
