Dear Reader:
It was almost embarrassing.
I'd been writing since 1982 -- and by 2008, I had published over 70 books with major NYC publishing houses.
Yet not one of my books had made any of the best-seller lists ... at any time.
Not one!
It's not that my books don't sell.
My first book, published over a quarter of a century ago, is still in print today and sells thousands of copies every year.
A number of my books have sold more than 100,000 copies each - and in total, my books combined have sold well over a million copies.
To make the best-seller lists, however, you have to sell a large number of books in a compressed period of time.
But I hadn't done it yet, and in the summer of 2008, I decided it was time for me to join the ranks of best-selling authors.
Now, let me ask you a question....
Have you ever gotten e-mails from online promoters asking you to buy a book on a certain date, and offering you a massive amount of bribes and free bonus reports if you do?
Those e-mails are a part of the author's carefully orchestrated marketing campaign to make that book a best-seller!
Using this same proven formula, I helped my latest book climb to the #2 spot on the Amazon.com nonfiction best-seller list ... #1 in business and investing ... and #9 overall.
I say "proven" because I didn't invent the formula. Authors and online marketers have been using it for years - legally and ethically - to exponentially accelerate the sales of their books on Amazon.
I simply applied their formula, added a few twists of my own, and by October of last year, had the first - but, I assure you, not the last - best-seller of my multi-decade writing career.
Now, I want to show you how to make your book an instant Amazon best-seller, if you will let me.
(Haven't written a book or gotten it published yet? I'll show you how to do that too. No charge. See my free gift offer in the P.S. below.)
5 reasons to make your book an Amazon best-seller
1-When your book becomes an Amazon best-seller, you sell more books. And isn't that what every author - and publisher -- wants?
2-Selling more books can put a lot more money in your pocket. An Amazon best-seller can sell up to 1,000 copies or more in a single day. For a $25 book, that's $25,000 in sales in 24 hours.
3-You can add "Amazon best-selling author" to your list of credentials. It impresses everyone - friends, relatives, neighbors, colleagues, customers, potential clients.
4-Publishers will compete with one another for the privilege of publishing your next book when they see your current book hit the top ten list on Amazon.
5-As a side benefit, using my Instant Amazon Best-Seller Formula also adds new subscribers to your list. (It added almost a thousand new names to my e-list within 72 hours.)
