Q: How did you come up with Fingertip Marketing as an effective way to sell eBooks?
A: When I was writing my first paperback book, How To Hypnotize Yourself Without
Losing Your Mind, I thought that once I wrote the book and was listed in the Library of
Congress, my marketing work was over.
I actually believed that I would be in a universal listing that bookstore managers and
librarians would see and then order my book.
The truth is that the author must do all of the marketing of his/her book.
There is no universal listing that will get libraries and bookstores to order your books.
You have to become a "salesperson."
Most authors that I have met are not salespeople. In fact many authors I meet despise
salespeople.
