Today's hot topic: how to sell your books—and I have some FREE resources for you on how to promote your book.

First, one subscriber clued me in on this free book, Reader Magnets by Nick Stephenson. Many free books are little more than come-ons for high priced stuff. This 50-pager has solid info and great ideas. Which fit perfectly for all authors, but especially with series writers.

Another freebie—only available for 4 days—is a replay of a webinar by Tom Corson-Knowles. I have NO connection with him, but I have a replay of the webinar he ran yesterday about "How to Crack the Code to #1 Amazon Best Seller Ranking." It is nearly 2 hours long, but you can skip past the first 6 intro minutes, avoid the last part (promo for his publishing services) and gets lots of info about how Amazon rankings work—and how to work them.

His company offers publishing for authors and if any of you have dealt with him let me know of your experiences. It appears (?) he basically formats and submits your books to Amazon, etc. for 50% of the proceeds. Again, let me know if you know more about his company.
