These are tactics that are strongly recommended for successful book marketing after publication.
These are the marketing products and services determined to be most popular by our authors for the month of November, 2009, listed below in alphabetical order:

Amazon Keyword Search Submission Participating books are “tagged” with applicable terms and keywords on Amazon’s Product Detail page. Then 10 specific keywords or phrases are submitted to Amazon’s Search Engine on the author’s behalf. |
 |
Amazon Kindle Edition Only books that have been submitted to the Amazon Kindle via the required process and in the required format are available for Kindle readers to purchase and enjoy. Kindle editions of books appear on Amazon and in Amazon search listings just like any other format (such as a hardback edition). |
