Book Description Publication Date: September 6, 2013
Your Kindle e-book is awesome. It should be selling more copies! As a matter of fact, it should be an Amazon bestseller, but it's not. Why are books that are inferior to yours raking cash, while your book collects digital dust on KDP? Pimp My Kindle Book provides many low cost (most are free), easy-to-complete tasks that can shoot your e-book up the popularity lists and earn your book bestseller status in a very short period of time. If you are like most authors, you have already read the e-book improvement classics like Kindle Bestseller Secrets by Derek Doepker, 61 Ways to Sell More Non-fiction Kindle Books by Steve Scott, and Ebook Millionaire by James Calthorpe. These are great books, but they only tell part of the story. They can also be difficult to get through because of their straightforward style. Pimp My Kindle Book kicks it up a notch, with an energetic and motivational flair. It is a fun read, packed with humor and the personal experiences of an author who has spent time in the trenches and built a reputation, starting from scratch. There are many ways to make your book more sexy to book buyers. Included in this book are methods that will boost sales for any book (although the book works best for nonfiction titles):
Learn how to use keywords, so that people will find your book through SEO and internet searches Learn how to create a killer title and subtitle that "gets the click"! Learn the elements of an awesome book cover - How do you get people to click on your book from a list of 10-20 books from Amazon search results and Kindle book browsing pages? Sell more books on Amazon by creating a book description that translates directly to book orders - learn how to set up your book description with eye-catching formatting, SEO and a call to action! Learn how to maximize the earning potential of your book by understanding the Amazon sales algorithm and associating your book with other bestselling books in the 'Customer Also Bought' applet. Make more book sales and expand your author influence by developing an effective and attractive Amazon Author page. Why are book reviews so important? Learn how to get reviews for free and use them in your book marketing. Learn how to price your book for success.
These topics are just the highlights of the book. There are many additional topics covered in the books that will help your book become a Kindle bestseller. Author Eric Michael has gone from never writing a page of text to writing three bestselling books on the Kindle platform in short order. This book pulls no punches. It describes in detail what has worked and earned book sales, and what has not. Authors are provided an action plan for "sexifying" their books for readers and maximizes their books' potential. Now is the time to step on the gas and get rolling! Not tomorrow, or next week. Let's sell some books!
Most Helpful Customer Reviews 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful 5.0 out of 5 stars nothing held back September 9, 2013 By mj Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase If I were the author if this book, I would be hesitant to provide all of the information provided in the book to potential competitors. Honestly, I doubt that I would provide everything that I knew about improving books and sales. I know that most other books on this subject only give pieces and parts of the formula, not the whole thing. I know because I have most of them. This book was well-written, and unlike most books in this genre, it's actually readable
(enjoyable, even). There is even some humor weaved in to the helpful advice. I am confident that the information provided will directly yield significant book sale increases. Recommended.

I don't like the way that most of them are written by internet marketing "gurus", not real authors. I'm glad I made an exception for this book. Maybe it was the cover art..lol.Pimp My Kindle Book was written by an author that has built his book publishing business from scratch. The tone is fun and supportive. It was an easy read and I found myself identifying with the author throughout the book.There is a lot of instantly actionable tasks that can make immediate improvement in book sales and book sales page traffic. Can't wait to start implementing my own action plan.

Man, I wish that I would have found this book first. I would have saved myself $50+. I was expecting a book on improving book sales by spicing up the book cover, title, and description. There were some excellent tips for those topics, but there was so much more in addition to that. It covers a wide array of free ways to improve sales - many were fresh ideas that I had not seen, several were updated approaches that I have seen discussed in other books. Long story short - every author or publisher should own this title. A valuable resource.
2 of 2 people found the following review helpful 5.0 out of 5 stars Very Informative and Helpful September 9, 2013 By C. Gonzalez Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase I have read many books looking for the information that Eric has provided here. I have to say, almost every single one of those "other" books are absolutely useless. They either do not provide enough information or the information that they do provide has been a complete waste of my time. However, Eric has put together a handy little guidebook that offers real information that has been proven to be highly effective. It's easy to read through, to understand, and to apply. Well done Eric. Thanks for sharing your invaluable knowledge with the rest of us! Pimp My Kindle Book is definitely a keeper to have on hand for my future titles!

September 10, 2013 By M Nickolas Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase Pimp My Kindle Book is full of useful insights and tips. The author, Eric Michael, has produced a first rate book on how to make your book look perfect and market it on a variety of platforms.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful 5.0 out of 5 stars Highly recommended for serious authors September 9, 2013 By Kuda Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase I downloaded this book earlier this morning, and I have already taken the advice of the author and made several vital improvements to my book pages on KDP. I have outsourced the formatting of my Kindle book, with my instructions for HTML tags and I have completed additional keyword research to bring additional traffic to my book page. I am confident that these changes alone will significantly increase my books sales, and I plan on taking the author's advice and building my author platform outside Amazon, as time permits. I want to be careful about how excited I sound about this book. I am not sure that I want many other authors in my genre to have the information from this book, like I do. It's that good.
