Hey Dahlia,

Excellent stuff and thanks so much for sharing the reddit post. I didn’t knew one could make so much money through Amazon.

Now it’s time to write a story ebook and see if I could make a sale or 2.

Thanks for sharing the great stuff, Dahlia.

Your site is a GREAT resource for information and inspiration Dahlia…. so thanks!

An unrelated question if you don’t mind. I notice you don’t seem to go for opt-ins and list building which is counter-intuitive to the typical IM advice/mindset. Being a contrarian is something I can certainly appreciate.

Is this a matter of focus on your part or maybe a marketing philosophy you have? Just wondering…..

My pleasure, Brandon! Yeah, it’s a booming little industry on Amazon. And when you consider the fact that you don’t have to write fully blown novels, the sun seems to shine just a little bit brighter, lol.

Nice to hear from you!

Excellent share Dahlia. I had NO IDEA how lucrative the kindle game could be! That reddit post is damn inspiring… my brain is sizzling just thinking about the opportunity. To think you can make cashish writing fiction without a publishing deal, well, I finally get why folks are saying that self-publishing is a game changer.

My mind is blown. You’ve inspired me to finish editing a few projects that I’ve been dragging my feet on, to see if I can make a sale or two. Thanks for that!

Good for you in getting them out David. That’s a lot more than most people are able to do.

Keep scaling and you’ll start seeing better results.

Thank you for commenting,

Hi Dahlia,
Thanks for the info on promoting Kindle ebooks. I published mine about three months ago I sure with my sales would increase. I alos realize that volumne is a key area but I have been busy with other projects. I like your idea of building a blog around the book. I expect that will be my next step.

Hey Jamie… You’re right. Writing them is the easy part. If all I had to do was write ebooks, I’d be happy as a clam.

My hope, however, is that my Amazon sales will take on a life of their own so that I don’t have to promote them. Once again, I strongly believe that volume has a lot to do with my ability to make these thoughts a reality.

Thanks for commenting!

Nice post, Dahlia.

Books are an asset. Once you have a collection, you can heavily drive traffic to your site and promote your books in an email funnel.

Writing them is the easy part

Hi Dahlia,

Just a quick note to tell people how much your earlier Ebook about writing press releases to help promote your products, services, and/or website is REALLY good. I want to thank you for writing it and knocking yet another fabulous guide out of the ballpark! You’re the best.

If people are interested in promoting their own Ebooks, you HAVE to get Dahlia’s press release guide. Success with press releases involves one part writing (and writing one isn’t very hard) and one part knowing where to submit it. Dahlia teaches you both things and makes it SUPER easy to get traffic and write great press releases.

Thanks again, Ms. D!
