6 Advantages of Amazon Bestseller Status

The Secrets of Female Sexuality places #8 overall...

As I’ve coached authors, helping them make their book a business, I’ve had a front row seat to their success. A successful book is quite a feat, but I’ve witnessed firsthand how transformational it is when a book reaches bestseller status. The perks are phenomenal!

Why should anyone want to be a bestselling author? Here’s a quick list of the benefits:

If your book becomes a bestseller:

1. You get bragging rights! And you’ll deserve them! Very few authors achieve bestselling status, so when you uncover the secret to marketing your book the right way, you are among the cream of the crop. That’s something to talk about. It also helps you to create more buzz about your book and the interest it receives.
2. You can add the title “Amazon bestseller” to your marketing materials and website. Everyone knows Amazon, and everyone knows that to become an Amazon bestseller, you have to beat a lot of competition. There are millions of books available through Amazon, so when you become a bestseller, you’ve earned a prestigious title that is more than an opinion—it’s indisputable and based entirely on fact—sales numbers which outrank all the rest!
3. People can introduce you as an “Amazon bestseller” before radio and TV interviews or speaking engagements. Being called an “Amazon bestseller” automatically provides you with credentials. It makes you an expert in your field, stating that you have something different to say and that people want to hear it. It’s an accomplishment that automatically portrays success.
4. You gain credibility in the corporate world. As an author, you are one of millions. As a bestselling author, your commendable achievement is acknowledged. Suddenly, you’ll become a sought-after speaker or consultant to businesses who place great value on credentials and accomplishments.
5. You establish yourself as an expert in your field. If you want to be an expert, write a book. If you want everyone to agree that you’re an expert, write a bestselling book. When you’ve written one of the top ten books in your industry, your expertise will have much more value and people will view you as the authority on your topic.
6. You can distribute a press release the next day – toting the fact you are a bestseller. By quickly getting the word out that your book is a bestseller, you spark more interest, accolades, and prestige. A press release that once might have gotten buried will go to the top of the pile when it touts such a remarkable achievement. When it does, you’ll benefit from the speaking engagements, interviews, and articles it will produce.

Best of all, your bestseller placement puts you in front of an audience that may have never heard of you at all. Once Amazon and Google know who you are, the sky is the limit.

3 Tips to Become an Amazon.com Bestseller…

As of 9:58 am PST, my client and colleague David Shade became an Amazon.com bestseller.

There are many authors, or wanna-be authors, who also want to achieve this status, and I always get inquiries on how one becomes an Amazon.com bestseller. Well, you can pay an expert 20K + to orchestrate the campaign for you (Currently, I charge anywhere from 12 to 15K to coach and strategize all of the intricacies of a bestseller and book launch campaign for my clients.) Or you can do it yourself, which is tough if you don’t know where to begin (see 3 tips below to help you get started). Or, there is always something in between.

And with that, here are the following programs I recommend:

My friend, colleague and best-selling author, Sally Shields has crafted an amazing program called the Amazon Bestseller and Free Publicity 101 Homestudy Program. She walks you step-by-step through the Amazon Bestseller Campaign Process, and shows you exactly what you need to become a Amazon bestseller and garner FREE national publicity. *An aside: I just spoke to Sally today and she was taping the Rachel Ray Show – so this woman is definitely someone to follow!

Also, if you are a wanna-be author who needs to write their book before they even think about becoming a bestseller, you want to check out my coaching course and product, The 17-Day Book Challenge. In this course, I coach you on how to get your book done in less than 17 days, as well as develop your book marketing plan, which goes into depth in launching your book and making it an Amazon.com bestseller. I’ve gotten steller reviews about the 17-Day Book Challenge, which also includes as a bonus a private 1-on-1 60-minute telecoaching call with me.

Nonetheless, if you do decide to ‘go it alone’, here are a few tips to get you on your way to being an Amazon.com bestseller:

1. * Ensure your book is placed in the correct browse and sub-categories.

As you see from the screen shot, David’s book is not only in the top-20 overall, but is #1 in specific sub-categories. That way, people interested in dating topics will see it’s the #1 book of the day. Also, this step is crucial, because it is much harder to become an Amazon.com “Overall” bestseller. The chances you are a bestseller in a specific category are greater.

2.* Ensure your book is available on POD (with a guarantee of 100 on stock) or there is at least 500 books on site at the Amazon warehouse.

If you book is not available in-stock at Amazon, or available on print-on-demand (POD) through a reputable POD company or Ingram distributor, your book will read OUT OF STOCK and discourage sales. Amazon.com makes it difficult for self-publisher or Independent publishers to provide stock-up requests, so you want to make sure you research this thoroughly before conduct your campaign.

3.*Select an appropriate Amazon.com bestseller date..

Authors don’t normally do these campaigns on days that Harry Potter or a similar powerhouse book comes out. Choose dates wisely – do your research.

Of course, I hope this information helps. If you want further support, I offer 15-minute complimentary sessions to discuss what is the best route to go! – To your success – AD

The Secrets of Female Sexuality: He made me blush… now I’m in his book

I met ‘Renegade Sex Expert’ and Detroit Examiner Sex Advice columnist, David Shade at my Extreme Revenue Growth Mastermind Group in Mountain View, CA about 6 months ago. Now, I did notice David closely observing me from the corner of his eyes while I presented my 3-month revenue strategy, but didn’t think much of it until he said this to me:
“I bet you had a close relationship with your father.”
Hmmmmmmm….
Well, I knew it was a compliment from the way he said it, but I didn’t really understand what David meant until I got to know him better. David’s theory – and it’s backed up by most mental health professionals – is that women who had loving healthy relationships with their fathers make for more responsive lovers and more successful marriages because they genuinely like men.
The more I learned about David and his theories, the more I came to respect both, so when he asked me to write a guest chapter for the second edition of “The Secrets of Female Sexuality,” I agreed unequivocally. After all, any man whose life is dedicated to making men into better lovers is definitely my kind-a guy!
So here we are today – the Amazon Book Release of David Shade’s Secrets of Female Sexuality.
Now, this morning, I scanned my featured chapter to find any G-rated content about what women want from their lover/partner/husband/boyfriend. Here’s the excerpt:
…in my opinion, every woman, whether urban sophisticates on Sex and the City or small-town girls in Podunk, Missouri, knows deep down inside what she wants from a man in bed. Not everyone is able to verbalize it, but instinctively we know what we want when we see it – if not sooner.

Not very long, huh? I found one G-rated paragraph out of 6 pages! Well to get the whole enchilada (a.k.a the juicy secrets I can’t mention here) you’ll have to buy the book.
And, as an extra bonus, if you buy the book today, October 7th 2009, you get $300 worth of additional gift.
As always, to your success!

P.S. I tagged FB friends and other dating/relationship/sex experts I respect who I thought would find the information in the book valuable… Enjoy!
P.S.S. Remember, if you buy the book today, October 7th 2009, you get $300 worth of additional bonuses. This offer is only valid today, so act now by going here.
