America Overflowing With Would-be Writers With No Place to Go!

By Bob Gaines, Renowned Marketing Consultant/Book Review Editor/Copywriters Council of America™ 

Every day, unpublished writers see their great ideas buried under a pile of rejection slips, as their dreams of becoming bestselling authors drift off to some special “round file” purgatory. 

But now, just over the horizon (almost like the U.S. Cavalry in an old John Wayne western), comes a much-needed source of new hope – a genuine lifeline embodied in a new publication called (How to) Write & Sell Kindle E-Books for Fun & Profit. This remarkable volume is available today at AmazonKindleRiches.com.      

But rather than John Wayne, this book’s firepower comes from a trifecta of copywriting luminaries: Kim Stacey, Andrew Linick and Bob Bly. Each one of these contributors is among the most sought-after and respected professional writers in America. 

These industry stars are definitely “quick on the draw” with both ideas and free-flowing information. Indeed, many publishing industry insiders are calling the result of their efforts, “the long-awaited ‘How To’ treasure chest for would-be authors.”

OK, OK. Admittedly, there have been other highly praised e-books dealing with this subject. But the trio responsible for (How to) Write & Sell Kindle E-Books for Fun & Profit at AmazonKindleRiches.com.    point out that when put to the test, these early efforts consistently led to big-time disappointment and frustration. Healthy skepticism is therefore understandable. 

So, why so much enthusiasm for this new publication?

According to Bob Bly, “We’ve compiled the richest compendium of information any non-published writer could ever expect to find in one place. Its content reveals all the traps, hazards, pit-falls and outright mistakes writers have to overcome in order to be published, along with lots of other actionable tips and strategies – too much to cover in a few sentences.” 

Bly speaks the truth – that much is obvious from my review copy. What came across immediately as I thumbed through the early pages is that traditional publishing is not (and never was) a smooth journey for new, aspiring writers. The challenges are many, and the resources are few.

First, you had to write a compelling book proposal. Next, you had to convince a literary agent to represent you. Then, you had to wait month after month as your agent shopped your book proposal to the various publishers – usually without success. 

NOTE: Here’s why I use the past tense “had.”

Stacey, Bly and Linick’s new e-book goes to great lengths to point out how and why the publishing world has shifted on its axis. “It’s a brand new ball game,” they proclaim. “The old rules no longer apply. Would-be, first-time authors finally have the chance they have been waiting and hoping for.”

They further emphasize that today (as in this very moment), (How to) Write & Sell Kindle E-Books for Fun & Profit gives the average person the knowledge needed to publish their own book, make it available for sale on Amazon, sell hundreds or thousands of copies, and in some cases, make a significant income. And all without kowtowing to snobby literary agents and Manhattan publishers.

But here’s an inescapable truth. The trio states that new authors can only make their dreams come true if they know: how the system works; how to prepare their e-book; how to get into the Kindle system; and how to publicize and promote their e-book for maximum sales and repeat profits.

Stacey, Bly and Linick not only brag openly that they have sold several million books using the techniques and methodology prescribed in (How to) Write & Sell Kindle E-Books for Fun & Profit – THEY ARE CONFIDENT THIS E-BOOK CAN SET READERS OFF ON A SIMILAR PATH TO SUCCESS. 

But how comfortable do they REALLY feel in making such a bold claim? 

Comfortable enough to go far out on a limb in proving it is possible. According to the literature that came with my review copy, every e-book they sell is accompanied by what they consider an extremely rare, risk-free offer. 

While some guarantees feature a 30-day opportunity to return a purchased book for a full refund, and a few others even offer a 60-day period to request money back, Write & Sell Kindle E-Books for Fun & Profit comes with the kind of generous guarantee that even I had to read more than once to make sure there was no fine print.

Here is what Stacey, Bly and Linick promise:

If any would-be writer fails to get their book published as a Kindle e-book and available on Amazon in 90 days, they will get their money back in full. No questions asked. No explanations required. 

In a nutshell, that means anyone ordering the book will have more than enough time to utilize all of the information it offers, to make sure it enables them to get their own e-book out there, and finally to measure its sales and profits. 

At this point, I was curious enough to contact the authors in search of some actual Kindle e-book experiences. Here’s some of what they sent me:

• Amanda Hocking could not get a publisher to put out her novel, so she self-published it as a Kindle e-book. Her out of pocket cost: $300. In 20 months, the book sold over 1.5 million copies, and Hocking earned $2.5 million.

• Fiction writer Cheryl Kay Tardoff earned over a quarter million dollars from Amazon alone in 2012 and 2013.

• Florida-based author Hugh Howey says his series of Wool digital books     earn him a six figure income on Amazon. And that’s six figures a month – not a year.

• Oli Hille is the author of the #1 best seller, Creating the Perfect Lifestyle, among many other books. Creating the Perfect Lifestyle was the 57th most popular book on Amazon out of over one million titles.

• Michael Rank has published numerous books of popular history, including the Kindle #1 best seller, From Muhammed to Burj Khalifa: A Crash Course in 2000 Years of Middle East History.

• After becoming disgusted with paltry advances from NYC publishers, Beverly Flaxington began self-publishing her books; titles include Understanding Other People: The 5 Secrets to Human Behavior and Self-Talk for a Calmer You.

• A prolific author, Steve Scott has written and published 15 Kindle e-books,  including How to Write Great Blog Posts That Engage Readers, and Your First $1000: How to Start an Online Business That Actually Makes Money.   

These are just seven self-publishing success stories. There were plenty more. 

By now, the question on my mind was how much Write & Sell Kindle E-Books for Fun & Profit would cost a new author seeking to learn how to self-publish.

To my absolute surprise (and I might add, delight), I was informed it is being offered on AmazonKindleRiches.com.    at a special downloadable e-book introductory price of just $39, which is $20 less than its list price of $59.

Furthermore, unless their customers have obtained the results they were seeking, the authors don’t even want them to pay that. Just contact them within the 90-day guarantee period, and they promise to refund its purchase price in full.

After going through the abundance of invaluable material that Stacey, Bly and Linick have packed into their e-book, I have to admit it’s truly a special accomplishment. In fact, it’s special enough for me to use in attempting to self-publish a manuscript of my own. Who knows, my success story may be added to those included in this article.

Oh yes, there is one extra surprise benefit. 

Bob Bly reminded me that everyone ordering this impressive work will get a free copy of his 50-page Special Report, How to Write a Book and Get It Published (list price $29).
