Of course it's too good to be true. If the so-called bestseller campaigns work, why don't these clowns have bestsellers? It's all a scam, and it draws in suckers the same way all online scams do: People take it as an article of faith that there must be a secret technique or program that will carry them to glory if only they can find (or buy) it. It has to be, because "all things are on the Internet." Right.

And, not incidentally, traditional advertising DOES work for books. See this article in Publishers Weekly:
http://www.publishersweekly.com/article/CA6415358.html

The book has made the New York Times extended bestseller list, and the Wall Street Journal and Business Week hardcover bestseller lists. 45,000 copies sold in three months, and still going strong.

Hi Steve:

I have to buy your book Plug Your Book. First time I have heard about it. I intend to buy it immediatedly from Amazon.com given that I always buy books that can help me market my books, especially on the Internet.

In regards to Amazon.com best-seller campaigns, I am not a big fan and have stayed away although I have had several pitches made to me.

I believe something original always works best. Years ago I cut defective copies of my first book The Art of Seeing Double or Better in Business in half and sent either the top half or bottom half to organizations with a creative sales letter. This resulted in great publicity and extra revenues of over $15,000.

Lately I have used a variation of this scheme to market my book How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free. I actually give away over half of the book - the top half - on my webpage Creative Free E-books at the Real Success Resource Center.

This has helped this How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free to sell over 75,000 copies even though it was turned down by over 35 publishers and largely ignored by the media. I intend to sell over 500,000 copies and I am sure that your Plug Your Book will help.
