The fact that I'm writing this is proof that it works. November 29, 2008
There is so much good information in this book that I hardly know where to begin. I particularly like the way each tip is graded from one to five stars (the tactic ranking system) and Sampson's writing style is easy to read.
One of his tips is that you should use Amazon's review facility in combination with a well thought-out personal profile to direct traffic to your own books.
Before reading this book I had barely scratched the surface of Amazon.com.

Deconstructing Amazon: Harnessing the marketing power of the world's largest bookstore. November 25, 2008
Brent Sampson's Sell Your Book on Amazon offers a well-structured, informative introduction to the key merchandising tools available from the world's largest bookstore. For self-published authors new to Amazon's intricate and personalized architecture, gaining an understanding of all that Amazon offers can be a daunting challenge. The neophyte is tempted to take the easy road: get your book listed with a brief couple of descriptive paragraphs, then hope for the best. Sampson's careful explanation of each part--from the Author's Profile, blogs, Listmania, Search Inside modules to the multipart Editorial Reviews page--helps the reader better understand each feature's marketing advantage and gain an improved confidence in how to harness Amazon as a key online partner in building book sales and author reputation. As useful as this guide is, it would have been helpful to see more examples of how authors from different fields successfully put Amazon to work to build online sales. In every respect, however, Sampson's book is an invaluable resource for anyone selling their books on Amazon.
THIS SHOULD BE THE FIRST BOOK YOU READ IF YOU'RE PLANNING ON SELLING YOUR BOOK ON AMAZON November 24, 2008
Numenon (Bloodsong) (Bloodsong)Unfortunately for me, I struggled with Amazon for years before finding Brent's book. Here the information is, all in one well organized place: what all those tabs and "click here's" and strange terms mean. (Is Amazon as counter-intuitive to you as it is to me?) When I read this book, I realized I'd been doing nothing to help the sales of my books. Now I have a chance. I get to put together a winning strategy and carry it out with a clear plan.
Brent's advocacy of the POD concept came as a revelation. I've heard others say the same thing, but doubted it. Now I'm going over the financial side of our publishing business with new eyes. Since the meltdown of our financial world, getting books to market for the lowest cost IS the only viable alternative. POD may be the only way to go.
I have a question, though, Brent. This book's been out a year or so. How does POD work on the late 2008 Amazon? I understand they only accept POD books through their own company. When I did a cursory investigation of that company, it didn't seem to offer all the features and flexibility yours did. Now what?
The First Place to Start Your Book Promotion November 14, 2008
I've read a lot of books on self publishing. I decided on self publishing for myself because I didn't want to take 18 months to get a book published, and I didn't want to share the profits if I had to do the marketing anyway.
The problem with these types of self publishing books is that they contain a lot of information on self publishing, but in the marketing chapters the marketing information is skimpy at best.
Another problem I had was that when I looked for information specifically on book marketing, I really couldn't find a whole lot that allowed me to take full advantage of the internet (i.e. getting the word out quickly and automating some of the work.)
What information that was available involved having to travel, or doing tasks that are really time consuming. Because of my schedule and lifestyle, I needed marketing techniques that were fairly easy to do, effective, and could be done at home.
Finding this book is like an answer to a prayer. It does everything I mentioned about and includes plenty of techniques on how to market your book online specifically using Amazon. Since Amazon is the number one bookstore online anyway, it's where you want to go because that's where your customers are.
Sampson includes all of the techniques and even rates them for you so you know which ones are the most effective. It is a fast read (will only take you a couple of hours), and you can begin marketing on Amazon immediately.
What separates the best sellers from those books that are never read is marketing. Although many writers may avoid marketing like the plague, for those of you who don't mind marketing (I don't), this book offers you a viable opportunity to connect with your readers, make more money, and spend less time doing it. Even if you hate marketing, this is a good book for you because it's a great marketing plan for introverts.
Once you've written that book, and you're ready to start promoting, start with this book. It will save you the days and weeks I spent researching to find the right marketing information.
This book will save you time, it will save you money, and it will end any stress you may have over trying to figure out how to market your books and make money from them. Highly recommended.

 Universal strategies November 5, 2008
Having gone through this book several times, I have gotten several great ideas about selling on Amazon. It was not necessarily something specific the book said, more like 'Oh, and I could do that!, or thats a great idea.'
You may have wondered, what benefit could I possibly get from doing a list or listmania. As a reviewer, I think 'what's the point?' tons of people look at these lists, but hardly anyone says they are helpful?
From an author's perspective though these lists are read by thousand of people, and if you tweak your presentation as the author suggests, that is thousands of potential customers for your book. In addition, if you do not already write reviews, this can also give you much exposure, and if you develop some skill as the author suggests, you can raise your profile.
The multiple book strategy, I found very useful, and the ebook strategy he mentioned is also valuable. If you don't already know about ISBN numbers, hello, then you need to get the book.
How can a new writer have a similar presence to a seasoned writer on an Amazon search?
What are the economics of an ebook versus a regular paperback? Very useful to know.
My personal recommendation to you is study how other authors market themselves, how you notice them as you peruse, and what they do to stand out. Some top reviewers on Amazon are also authors. Look at what they do on their profiles.
If you're like me, you,ll get some inspired ideas of how to use information and strategies in the book. I hope this is helpful to you.
