"How I Sold 30,000 eBooks" also more than satisfies on another level. It is a compete book! Without obvious sales pitching, which is so annoying, this author provides a vast amount of information from helpful websites, articles, to individual Amazon sites and much more.
Best about the book is - it is realistic and honest - in my language: "naked". The author shares his info and does not pretend, that promoting a book is a walk in the park. Authors have to work for it and he gives them the tools.
Amazon Review

If there is one book that demystifies the whole murky area of selling books and making money from self-publishing on Amazon, this is the one. The author admits that he decided to write this book not because he thought that it would be a huge money-spinner but because he was angry and disillusioned with the information that the "experts" were imparting to existing and potential authors. So he decided that he would share his own experience with being a self-published author, which, luckily for those that are writing or thinking about writing and self-publishing, this is the book that can save them time, energy and the avoidance of taking on and following-through on mistruths and misinformation. Which is no small thing.
