It would be great if a book could sell itself - it hits bookshelves and bam ... it sells. This is typically not the case ... one must promote the book. Although many times I have purchased a book without hearing the author spout his head off. As a matter of fact, I've probably only purchased half a dozen books out of hundreds based on the ramblings of the author.
So, one can hope ... although I will promote the book as well. Case in point: this blog.
Some other bestselling ideas:
- I know I've mentioned this already but it will be a series: Abraham Lincoln Wants to Buy Your Small Business is the sequel.
- When the book hits the big-time, I am going to use part of the proceeds to help out part of my family in need.
- Goal: 2 million copies sold by December 25th, 2012 at 7pm.
- Goal: 5 things a day to market the book.
- Goal: Have to get half of it done, in great shape by May 31st, 2011 at 7pm.
- The Oprah show will be cancelled by the time this is published so ... get on the Dr. Oz show?
Oh yeah ... here is the book ... due in February 2012 by Wiley. Pass it along to 1 million others so it can in fact become a bestseller. Much appreciated ... and go to www.smallbizcoffee.com if you would like to sign up for updates.
