Now on to some serious wordpreneur stuff.
While doing my regular rounds this past week through various online forums for indie authors, I saw no less than five rants — well, whines really — about the authors’ failure at selling any of their books.
Nothing unusual about that kind of whining. What caught my attention this time, however, was this: Every single one insinuated Amazon was at fault and to blame for their inability to sell their stuff.
Wha?
All those other competing authors and their books and marketing activity had nothing to do with the fails, I guess.
Nor did those crappy homemade covers, those poorly written blurbs, those inadequate keyword selections, yada yada.
One guy even threatened ultimatum-style to quit the indie authoring game. Um, OK dude, we’re devastated.
I’m not really sure where I’m going with this observation — I’m still quite firmly planted in the “WTF people?” head-shaking stage — probably in awe of all that oozing entitlement.
Is it more info you need? There’s no shortage of that, as you can see in every Wordpreneur Reader issue. Or maybe you just like things handed to you. I think I’ll vote for the latter.
Well quit it. We’re all in the same boat. That “I can’t afford it” excuse when someone points out your covers suck and your work needs professional editing? That doesn’t fly either. Skip Starbucks every now and then like many of the other authors do. Or whatever. No excuses, Grasshopper — it’s all on you.
Indie stands for independent, you know that, right?
Well, on that pleasant note, let’s do some reading. Have fun!

“Can’t you give me just 1 tip (for getting book reviews)?” she asked
“The other day a newly published author who had befriended me 5 minutes earlier asked me if I could give her just one tip how to get book reviews from Amazon top reviewers.
I told her to read my book.
She came back with, ‘Can’t you give me just 1 tip?’
Hmm… Apparently this author was not aware how much in demand these reviews are; on average Hall-of-Fame reviewers get 250+ review requests per month.
So, I told her that getting a book reviewed by an Amazon top reviewer isn’t a ‘1-tip thing,’ especially if the book did not have any reviews yet. Getting reviews is a challenging task that encompasses many steps; which is why my book has 100 pages.
She immediately un-friended me.
I guess that says it all. Just another wannabe author who does not really want to learn the trade. The indie author industry is overrun with people like that. The sooner they get out and make room for the people who really hone their craft and all skills, the better for all.
Of course, from experience I know that most indie authors work a lot harder than this one.
So, here is one tip for authors whose books received already a few reviews (including from top reviewers).
‘Like/find helpful’ the reviewers’ reviews!!!”

$4,344.81 in 40 Days with my Fiction Book Only Spending $30 on Advertising
“I had a plan. A big plan. Heck, I had the plan of the universe — to sell thousands of copies of my new release Science Fiction book, Project Atlantis, during the first month I published it.
This plan started six months before I started writing the book. The plan entailed rapidly finishing three books in a series — Project Atlantis, Destination Atlantis, and Colony Atlantis — and once it had been edited, beta-read, and sent out to my ARC reviewers, I’d release Project Atlantis, then Destination Atlantis seven days later, and Colony Atlantis fourteen days after Destination Atlantis. Additionally, I’d have the fourth book, Beyond Atlantis, almost 100% written. Yet, I’d have Beyond Atlantis’s pre-order already up and running before Colony Atlantis was released, all the while dropping over $1500 dollars in Facebook Ads, Amazon Ads, and on Promo Sites, and whatever else I could get my greedy paws on.
Well, I did none of the above.
Here is what happened that led me to only spending $30 on Facebook and Amazon ads and how I was able to make $4,344.81 in 40 Days with my Fiction Book.”

peeps: Alexandra Allred
Alexandra Allred made sports history when she won the first women’s bobsled U.S. Nationals in September 1994 and was named to the first U.S. women’s bobsled team. When the United States Olympic Committee made her Athlete of the Year, it began a lucrative sports career as a bobsledder, martial artist and professional football player.
III, an expert on prenatal fitness who was interested in how extreme exercise affects the placenta. At that point, very little data had been collected on the effects of sports training, plyometrics and heavy weight lifting, and Dr. Clapp was particularly interested in Alexandra. At the fifth month of her pregnancy, she was squatting 375 lbs. and was clocked running at 20mph! To this day, both the U.S. and International Olympic Committees use Alexandra’s training data as a safety guide for pregnant athletes. She also serves as a fitness/nutrition expert at Pregnancy.org.
No stranger to the media, she has appeared in national publications, news programs and syndicated radio; in 2002, PBS produced a documentary about her. She wrote two women’s sports books — Atta Girl! A Celebration of Women in Sports and Entering the Mother Zone (Wish Publishing) — and became an adventure writer for top magazines in the field like Sports Illustrated and Muscle & Fitness. She even played professional women’s football!
Today, she is now the author of over 20 books, a freelance writer and does public speaking on sports, nutrition, air quality and the world of writing and publishing. She lives in Texas with her family and a wide array of animals.
How Alexandra Got Started Self-Publishing
When she speaks to writers, she opens with this joke: “If you want to get published, first you have to become a pregnant bobsledder.” But she does explain, “I know I was extremely fortunate in that I had NO competition in that area. Trust me. There were no pregnant athletes out there squatting over 300 pounds. While I won’t lie about the physical work I had to put in to make the team, I know I eased into the publishing world. I even got to write a Dummies book because of my sports background. But when I wanted to try my hand at fiction, despite all my contacts, I couldn’t get the big publishing houses to even give me a look!”
As Alexandra began to look at ebooks, she saw the potential. “You know, as a writer, you are two things: an artist and a business person,” she says. “If you are willing to do the PR, the leg work, make the phone calls, send out letters seeking reviews, you can create a new audience.”
She self-published her first novel, Damaged Goods, and she ended up traveling to New York City to receive an IPPY (Independent Publisher Book Award) for it. While there, she was thrilled to get to meet the publishers who discovered and published E.L. James’ Fifty Shades of Grey.
Today, Alexandra has new books under contract with The Writer’s Coffee Shop, but she also still self-publishes and plans on launching a children’s series this spring with CreateSpace on Amazon.com.
Self-Publishing Observations and Tips
- “The downside to self-publishing is bookstores are very slow to carry your book. But that’s okay! As I said before, once you self-publish, you are an artist and a business person. If you are willing to work hard, you will gain a larger audience.”
- “In this big, huge, wide world of modern technology, artists are no longer confined to traditional publishing and that is a fantastic thing! The Wizard of Oz was self-published and developed a following. Why can’t this be true of your own work?”
- “To anyone toying with the dream of publishing, I ask, ‘What’s holding you back?’ It’s easy and cheap.”
- “Make sure you have multiple readers/editors to make your manuscript clean. No errors. No snags in the plot or inaccuracies in characters. Let the only complaint about your book be that it cannot be found in the bookstores.”
- “Be willing to promote yourself. You do not have a large publishing house behind you, so be prepared to use social media outlets to promote and have fun.”
- “If you believe in your story, your product, you can never fail. Do not publish with the idea of making $$$. Publish because you love to tell stories and share. Anything after that is a true bonus!”

Reader 06/18/18 Edition
I’m not going to pontificate here on whether gaming systems is morally suspect, yada yada. Doing them is totally up to you. Whatever game you’re playing to gain some advantage over the way a system is built, designed and is actually supposed to be used, screwing around with that is most certainly “within the rules.” Technically. For now, anyway.
These are system holes, ladies and gents, and sooner or later, these holes will more than likely be plugged up. Which means if your business model banks heavily on being able to work and take advantage of these holes, well — surprise! — someday, that’ll just likely come to a screeching halt. And seemingly overnight, with no warning. One day click, it’ll all just go dark.
Google’s search results algorithm is a perfect example of this. Trying to take advantage of how it works is a never-ending source of system gaming examples. In the early days, for instance, keyword stuffing reaped huge benefits, moving practitioners’ sites way up in the search results, much to Google’s users’ dismay. Huge business operations were actually built around sites taking advantage of this technical hole.
Then one day — click! — no more. The faucet with the flood of inbound traffic was shut off. All those advertising $$$ from that traffic (AdSense, affiliate marketing, etc.)? Gone too.
That’s not the end of it, though. As far as I know, these keyword stuffing sites started getting penalized in the algorithm’s search results. These sites were now worse off than the clean folks. All that system-gaming content? Useless. Heck, worse than useless: damaging. They either had to invest huge sums to redo all their content, or die. Many died.
That’s the thing, folks: System owners hate the people who game their systems. Passionately. And for obvious reasons. Here’s a simple one: It screws up their business operations and income. Duh.
LOTS of examples of this kind of thing going on through the years, and not just with the search engines. Social media sites battling follower farming is something you’re likely aware of, for instance.
Indie publishing itself isn’t immune from system gaming, which is the whole point of this post. Amazon sure has problems with them. And a lot of the games aren’t based on some technical or logistical hole in an automated system that can be easily plugged up. Ergo, they’re a bit more difficult for Amazon to “clean up” and start preventing. I would imagine that doesn’t make Amazon very happy.
The latest clean up mess I’m aware of, picking up from forum whining, is Amazon cracking down on ARCs. That stands for “advanced review copies.” Amazon’s not against them in general, obviously, just the practice a lot of indie authors have been employing of assembling and using “ARC teams” — people with Amazon accounts whose whole raison d’être is to post those star-rated Amazon customer reviews. Besides just padding the review counts, timed well around book launch, those usually glowing reviews paint a rosy picture and prime the pump, so to speak. These “reviewers” get ARCs not to review and write about in regular media or even their own blogs to share with their readers — you know, old school legit ARC activity — but mainly for futzing with those Amazon customer reviews. It doesn’t really take a genius to figure that out, so save it.
Yeah, Amazon could of course turn a blind eye to the whole thing, but apparently it’s chosen to do a solid for its customers instead. Why that would be a surprise to anyone, I have no idea.
Just as unsurprisingly, Amazon’s none too happy with the game players. I don’t know the exact technical details, but it seems they’re all now on some internal watchlists (those can be automated too… surprise!). The ARC reviewers are seeing many of their reviews zapped, and they are now being prevented from posting reviews pretty much everywhere; authors are seeing their books’ existing reviews purged, yada yada.
As you may have guessed, however, this kind of manual/automated-hybrid cleanup effort is causing some real problems: There’s the inevitable collateral damage. Many of these books are seeing a significant number of legit reviews getting nuked as well. Interesting, huh? If you think about it, much like the Google keyword stuffing thing, the game players seem to be losing way more than whatever gains they may have enjoyed screwing with the system.
Funny how that works. If you’re caught up in this kerfuffle, good luck getting it all sorted out.
But hey, I’m not stopping you from trying to game the system if you’re so inclined — large scale, small scale, it’s all the same (yeah, killing just one person instead of 10 makes a difference, hmm?). But please, spare us the whining, and even the outrage, if it catches up to you.
This all just reminds me of this very common saying I keep stumbling across online. Amazing how well it fits:
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.”

5 quick tricks to improve your Amazon listing’s ranking on Google

The best thing you can do for your sales listings isn’t even related to Amazon at all… It’s ranking on Google… Google is the largest search engine in the world, and it involves an entirely different set of criteria to Amazon’s internal search engine. Rank well on both and you can double up on the benefits… Rank badly on either and you’re cutting yourself out of a potentially massive revenue stream.”

10 Bestsellers That Began as Self-Published Books
“There is much to be said for self-publishing, especially if you have spent a year or ten (see Michael J. Sullivan below) trying to get publishing houses interested in your work.
If you self-publish, and do a proper job of marketing, your book may not only achieve success in its own right, but may be picked up by a major publishing house. (Ironically, it may even be published by one of the houses that has previously sent you a rejection slip.)
All of these books have one thing in common – their authors did not simply publish and then lean back and enjoy their success. They marketed, pitched, and sold the heck out of their books.
And they continued to write.
Here are a few best-selling books whose authors did not give up on them.”

10 books that will make you a better writer (and why)
“…
I love borrowing books. But there are some books that a writer really should have in their own personal for-keeps libraries. These are the books that you’ll keep coming back to, over and over, through your career.
Here are my top ten writing craft books. Some of them I’ve owned for twenty years or more. Some are new to me. Some are classics that you might already own. Maybe there are some that will be new to you.
Self-Editing for Fiction Writers by Renni Browne and Dave King
“You want to draw your readers into the world you’ve created, make them feel a part of it, make them forget where they are. And you can’t do this effectively if you tell your readers about your world secondhand.”
In 2004, when I was eight months pregnant, I won Nanowrimo for the first time. I wrote a truly awful first draft of a romantic suspense story. Then I had a baby girl on December 8. I never looked back. Once I knew that I could finish writing a novel, I knew that I could learn how to write well.
Self-Editing for Fiction Writers is the book that taught me how to be a better writer. I finished my first manuscript and took a solid year, going through this book, chapter by chapter, exercise by exercise, and applying what I learned to my work.
Zen in the Art of Writing by Ray Bradbury
“I have never listened to anyone who criticized my taste in space travel, sideshows or gorillas. When this occurs, I pack up my dinosaurs and leave the room.”
Ray Bradbury’s little book of essays about writing and creativity is an essential little pocket of inspiration. I’ve read it half a dozen times and every single time, I pick up something new. Because it’s a collection of essays, you can pick it up and read what you need, when you need it.
Bradbury’s advice for fiction writers has shaped my writing life. He believed, especially, in short stories and in reading a lot. And watching movies. One of my favorite parts of Zen in the Art of Writing is the way that Bradbury breaks down how and why he wrote some of my favorite short stories.”
