TIP # 1 – Use Amazon Author Central and your Amazon Author’s page to your best advantage.  You can add your photo, access to you blogs with highlights of your posts, announce the events where you will be appearing and Twitter messages to you authors pages.  Also, make sure you obtain access to your book page on Amazon.   Since traditional publishers usually supply Amazon with your book information, they often do not give their author access.  Ask you it.

TIP # 2 – Concerning book reviews, things have changed.  Reviews such as Kirkus and even School Library or Horn Book are no longer driving the market. We live in the social media age and customer reviews now drive the market.  If you want to support other authors, and you want them to support you, write a reviews of their books and ask them to return the favor.  To learn more about reviewing books on Amazon read Penny C. Sansevieri’s book “How to  Get a Truck Load of Reviews on Amazon.com.”

TIP # 3 – Remind your readers that you don’t have to have a Kindle to read your e-Books on Amazon.  They can access them on Kindle Computer Reader, IPhone and IPad APP, Android APP, or Blackberry APP.  The APPS can be found on Amazon.com.

TIP # 4 – My final tip.  Keep writing and never give up!!!!
