Recently, I had the pleasure of reading Nikki Leigh's new book on how to become successful in book promotion titled Book Promo 201. Today, there are perhaps more books marketed and sold on the Internet than in physical book stores.

Recently, I had the pleasure of reading Nikki Leigh's new book on how to become successful in book promotion titled Book Promo 201. Today, there are perhaps more books marketed and sold on the Internet than in physical book stores. With the change in the publishing and book marketing industries, I can say, without a doubt, that Book Promo 201 is an indispensable and vital reading material for serious writers.Just because you may have already read her first book, by almost the same title, Book Promo 101, I can tell you that you must buy this new book as well. It is full of extremely practical material that will make a fledgling writer into active, motivated and well-known author, if Nikki Leigh's systematic approach to internet marketing is followed and applied to social marketing, publishing and linking to other writers and to readers.
I have worked closely with Nikki Leigh and she is responsible for what I consider to be a highly successful change in my marketing approach of my four novels, across the net and blog-o-sphere. I had to chuckle as I read her new very valuable book, Book Promo 201. There is enough knowledge in Nikki's head to fill several volumes, into the future. Yet, with Book Promo 101 and now with 201, we can take Nikki with us wherever we go and use her knowledge as a veritable bible of internet book marketing secrets, in which Nikki Leigh has gone out of her way to share so many of her proven secrets to selling books. Nikki has proven her ability of getting the writers who work with her a level of exposure all over the net that many of us never thought we could achieve. That speaks for itself.
I found Nikki Leigh's new book to be very practical, very user friendly and extremely well organized. Her ideas shine through the pages and made me understand that this monster called book marketing does not need to be so frightening nor seem so impossible. If you are like me, I first found that writing a book and even getting it published was an easy task when compared to getting the word out about this fantastic new novel, I had written. Then, I met Nikki and she opened up a new world, on the net, and I have been working at it and seeing my sales and my readership constantly grow.
Book Promo 201 can accomplish the same thing for a writer who takes her ideas and proven formulas and applies them to their individual needs. She demonstrates things like the unique benefits of using the Internet to promote an author's work. She clearly shows the benefits and the financial rewards to marketing, on the net. She is also skilled, in this book, in showing more shy writers how to promote themselves across a very wide and almost completely free manner of gaining exposure to the millions of readers who live in cyberspace. It has made all the difference in my writing career.
Book Promo 201 details and demonstrates useful ways of implementing such sensible and important tools as targeting your audience, branding yourself and your material, finding and effectively using social bookmarking sites, using blogs to promote your books and the importance of blog tours and using Internet radio. These are but a few of the very interesting and highly useful points that make Book Promo 201 a book that every serious writer must read and use to develop a serious marketing campaign that can propel a writer's career from frustrating and lonely to very exciting and thriving.
If you want to write books that people actually read and to develop a career in writing that can actually become solid and real, then you have to get this book and use it to become a writer who is well known and appreciated. You did again Nikki, but I knew you would!
