Writers Take Note: Have Best-Selling Authors Like Stephen King, J.K. Rowling, and Dan Brown Lost their Best-Seller Edge to Rookie Authors ...?
Bestseller lists were once dominated only by big name authors and for rookie authors it was like competing for the Super Bowl. Now star authors find themselves in direct competition with new authors and small publishers, because the playing field has been leveled by the latest online book promotion strategies. Special course make it possible for all authors to score big with their own books.
Shenandoah, VA (PRWEB) February 1, 2006 -- Randy Gilbert, a.k.a. "Dr. Proactive" has just announced "Best Seller Mentoring," a class which reveals his insider strategies that any author (new or otherwise) can use to dominate the bestseller list of Amazon.com and other online book retailers. This 8-week teleseminar course is slated to begin February 13th. Interested authors, publishers and book promoters, who would like to take advantage of this rare opportunity, can learn more about the class at 2006BestSellerClass.com
"This new form of online book marketing is a victory for all writers, because it makes it possible for them to realize their dreams of becoming a recognized best-selling author," says Randy Gilbert, co-founder of "BestSellerMentoring.com." Gilbert goes on to say "I feel that this kind of proactive strategy will give an advantage to every author who uses it."
Gilbert used an early version of the strategy on his own self-published book, "Success Bound," three years earlier to become a top Amazon.com bestseller. The day immediately following he received calls from foreign rights buyers, one as far away as Beijing, China. Gilbert became well known in the book promotion world after he helped Rick Frishman, President of Planned TV Arts and author of "Guerrilla Marketing for Writers," to make his 2004 book, "Networking Magic" (Adams Media) a #1 Bestseller at Barnes and Noble.com.
Immediately following that victory, Gilbert was contacted by mega best-selling author Harvey Mackay, whose book, "Swim With The Sharks Without Being Eaten Alive," was on the NY Times Bestseller list for a straight 52 weeks. Gilbert was also contacted by Jack Canfield, co-creator of the "Chicken Soup for The Soul®" series, and whose name appears on more than 100 million books in print. They each said in effect, "Gilbert, I hear you're the best at online book marketing and I want you on my team." Gilbert helped both Canfield and Mackay take their books, "The Success Principles" and "We Got Fired" respectively, to the top of Amazon.com, which then helped them get their books onto the New York Times and other major bestseller lists.
Gilbert is currently developing the 'next generation' of his bestseller strategy in coordination with big publishers from New York and Boston. He's been hired by Loral Langemeier, author of the current bestseller "The Millionaire Maker: Act, Think, and Make Money the Way the Wealthy Do" (McGraw Hill), to integrate his latest online strategies in conjunction with the more traditional book selling efforts of her publisher over a 45-day period. Gilbert's bestseller team, which includes a top publicist from publisher McGraw-Hill, is creating a mountain of sales for Langemeier's book to three online book retailers, Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble.com, and Books a Million.com.
The online portion of the bestseller drive culminates with the newest Virtual Book Tour phenomenon, which is like an online turbo-charged book signing that can sell thousands of books rather than the dozen or two of the average in-store book signing.
Gilbert says he's a team player and team builder, so he doesn't do the bestseller mentoring class alone. He's recruited a star player to partner with in Peggy McColl, a writer who just won and an extraordinary book advance from a large NY Publisher, primarily due to her mastery of this online book selling strategy.
Gilbert and McColl guarantee the results of their class, something almost unheard of in book publishing. With such confidence, their "BestSeller Mentoring" class is sure to sell out fast. In fact, as of press time, only 57 of the available 120 slots remained open. If reviews from their last classes are any indication, those spots will soon be gone.
Steve Taubman, author of "UnHypnosis," who attended BestSeller Mentoring in 2005, cannot recommend their class highly enough. He said, "There are a million things you can do to promote your book, but Randy and Peggy’s program is unique. It’s been tried and proven many times. Plus, I liked the fact that they offer a money-back guarantee. They were with me every step of the way!"
Learn what this strategy that sell lots of books is all about; go to "How to Make Your Book an Amazon.com Bestseller And Sell Tons of Copies, Even If You're a Marketing Novice." Plus receive access to 7 interviews with BestSelling authors who used this strategy and a report for "How to turn Amazon into Your Own River of Gold."
As for Stephen King and the rest, it is unknown as to whether this new strategy will actually reduce any of their sales, but what is known, is that they would most likely be able to increase their sales if they too used the newest online bestseller strategies.
