Darcie Chan, mentioned in the article, is a client of mine.
The advice in the article is good, as far as it goes, but neglects the most important part, and the factor that made Darcie a #1 best-seller. You need a book that isn't shit.

But, like so many, that article tells absolutely nothing about how to move a book, much less being a best-seller.
It's "steps" are what everybody does. Get A review????? You have to have 10 average over 4 stars to even get on to those ebook tip sheets. Pick a category. Well, duh... It's really just SEO content crap dressed up using somebody else's name.

[You need a book that isn't shit.]
Mike, are you saying to dumb your book down so it is absorbed more readily by the majority of people?

Or perhaps easily changed/morphed into what the publisher thinks will sell?

If you want to sell a book, write romance, find a way of telling the same story in different permutations over and over and be prepared to write 6 a year.

Exactly. You should do a book about that. :-)
And don't forget to get a boyfriend with absurdly cut abs so you can do cover shots cheap.
