POD Publishing Insights

• Real-World Book Promotion Campaign - Part 1
  
• We Are Now Working With UK Authors

FEEDBACK - What POD Could Be

Kevin Murphy - However, as a Booklocker POD author, I can testify strongly that my experience with Booklocker fitted the high-tech cliche, "seamless."

Seamus O'Brog - One of my favorite topics for writing is “How we can know things for sure.” How can we know something is true when we can’t experience it all. Along with that, I seem to have a knack for tripping and falling into the correct ditch on my first try. Booklocker was the first POD company I ran across.

FEEDBACK - How To Market A Book For 399 Bucks

Reg Crowder - This is REALLY SOLID advice and I appreciate it. This kind of value-added assistance to customers (me) is what innovative, information age businesses, such as yours, do best.

FEEDBACK - How David Louis Edelman Promoted His Book

Kristen Tsetsi - Promotion is everything. I, too, created a website and a blog, and in addition to that, I made about 400 fliers and sent them to various coffee shops and indie bookstores in several states...

FEEDBACK - Amazon Bestseller Scam Redux

Steve Weber - More discussion of this in today’s Wall Street Journal.

Colleen Newman - What is a good rank for someone who just started out?

Richard - Have a look at Morris Rosenthal’s explanation of Amazon’s Rankings.
