Why Every Author Can Learn From Peggy

Every author I talk to has the dream of becoming a best seller. Few make it. Peggy did.

Like a dog with a bone, she didn’t give up, discovered the leverage she could get from driving her book to best seller status on Amazon, and then creating relationships to to that again and again.

Peggy was so good at doing this, she turned it into a business and had many best seller clients.

Then she pulled out all the stops with the release of Your Destiny Switch in early 2007. That book went to the New York Times Best Seller List the week it came out.

Is Your Book On Kindle?

This holiday season, it’s been impossible to buy an Amazon Kindle.. The popular ebook reader. Many say due to the product’s endorsement by Oprah.

We’ve been making all of our books available for Kindle readers, and seen substantial sales.. especially for our popular book on Twitter (“Twitter Revolution: How Social Media and Mobile Marketing is Changing the Way We Do Business & Market Online“).

According to the New York Times. Kindle sales have helped increase sales of electronic books:

So far, publishers like HarperCollins, Random House
and Simon & Schuster say that sales of e-books for any device —
including simple laptop downloads — constitute less than 1 percent of
total book sales. But there are signs of momentum. The publishers say
sales of e-books have tripled or quadrupled in the last year.

Amazon’s
Kindle version of “The Story of Edgar Sawtelle” by David Wroblewski, a
best seller recommended by Ms. Winfrey’s book club, now represents 20
percent of total Amazon sales of the book, according to Brian Murray,
chief executive of HarperCollins Publishers Worldwide.

In the Future, Will We Need Bookstores?

Most of the publishing world desperately hangs on to any thread of the old way of doing things. Many bookstores, publishers and many authors are convinced that Google and Amazon are out to put them out of business.

Read about the current lawsuit against Google

Google Authors Guild and Association of American Publishers, Google book deal, Google publishingAs part of the settlement, Google will not show any part of in-copyright books online that are not included under its new “partner program,” according to Google chief legal officer David Drummond.

At the same time, Drummond claims that the settlement will help to boost Google’s scanning of books, and allow it “to begin offering in-copyright, out-of-print books for preview and sale directly online,” MarketWatch wrote. Google has already made more than 7 million books available to Internet users, and Drummond said, “We’re just getting started.”

The settlement also tasks Google with creating the Book Rights Registry, an independent nonprofit service meant to “resolve outstanding claims by authors and publishers and to cover legal fees from class-action lawsuits against Google,” The Daily Telegraph reported.

I take a different point of view. Readers ultimately are the market. We want to get our information in whatever form we like, whenever and wherever we desire.

The market for books will not go away, but the institutions that cling to the past are doomed. I do hope the stores come up with a good reason for us to shop there.. I do like strolling through the shelves.. but the won’t survive if they just fight progressTechnorati Tags: , ,
