Number One Book System = Amazon Best Seller

The possibilities of a self-published
 author are infinite and only limited
 by their own imagination.
Digital Marketer (DM) has apparently established a sure-fire way to become an Amazon Best Seller --- Its called 'Number One Book System'

DM has some pretty well respected digital/ebooks/marketing experts on their staff. Might be worth checking into.

This Digital Marketer press release from PRWeb:

How to Become an Amazon Best Seller with Number One Book System Showing the Way Topic of DigitalMarketer.com Article


Digital Marketer’s new program, the Number One Book System, is guiding writers on the path to self-publication, according to a recent online article.


Digital Marketer’s latest online article said their new Number One Book System is showing people how to become an Amazon best seller by self-publishing their own eBooks. Amazon.com is the most massive e-commerce site on the web, the article said, and eBooks are some of its main attractions. Readers are scooping up eBooks faster than authors can write them, which is why the Number One Book System is proving to be such a revolutionary program, said the article.
Using the Number One Book System gives authors the chance to start from absolute scratch and work their way towards getting a book to number one on Amazon Kindle through crafty promotion and grassroots community support, the article said. A membership in the program includes a spot in the Number One Book Club, the premier online community for e-publishers to connect and collaborate.

Kindle eBooks have officially dominated the book world since they surpassed print book sales on Amazon.com last year, said the article. The numbers are astounding, and eBooks are creating a modern technological way for readers to absorb written content. The article said record amounts of eBooks are being downloaded and read, thanks to Amazon’s vast collection of book-hungry customers.

A recent press release from Amazon.com told the rest of the story:

“Amazon.com today announced that its catalog of over 180,000 exclusive Kindle books have been purchased, downloaded, or borrowed from the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library more than 100 million times,” it said.

Capturing the flow of the mighty eBook river is a no-brainer, said the online article, and that’s what Digital Marketer wants to convey with its Number One Book System. The program isn’t just a how-to, it’s a comprehensive collection of the most useful tips and tricks that can manage a best-selling eBook’s performance over the long haul.

With the community-based cooperative of the Number One Book Club, writers will have endless support and assistance in writing, reviewing, and promoting their books in any and every category imaginable. The club gives members the ability to break into groups and allows for forum-style communication so like-minded people can work together towards their Kindle goals.

Are E-Book's Surging Sales Damaging Print Sales?


I don't think so...at least not as much as you might think...The e-book sales are up 115% over last year and the print sales ARE down...but kind of negligibly.

Now don't get me wrong, e-books have had an impact, but I feel most of the e-book sales growth have actually come from new reader-consumers that have had their interest in reading tweaked for the first time by the new digital gadgets (and this is a great thing!).

Now there are all kinds of reasons for this downturn in print sales. The biggest and most overlooked one is the economy being in the dump (print books cost more)...But, I believe that printing, paper, binding, distribution, etc. are in for some tech improvements, also, that will lower their costs in the near future. This will be a boon for those that still prefer a physical, 3-dimensional book to curl up with.

Then, too, all the newly-awakened readers (you know, the tech-savvy and e-reader indoctrinated bots) might just want to jump into a 3-dimensional physicality in the future!

So, I'm predicting a print book resurge around the corner.

Audrey Watters of ReadWriteWeb.com has this to say:

E-Books Sales Up 115%, But Does It Come At the Expense of Print?

The Association of American Publishers (AAP) released its figures from January 2011 book sales, and the news echoes what we've come to expect: more readers are turning to e-books, and they're doing so in droves. In face, e-book sales have more than doubled since the same time last year. According to the AAP, e-book sales are up 115.8%, from $32.4 million to $69.9 million year-over-year.

But how does that impact the rest of the publishing industry? Do more e-book sales mean more books are being sold? Are e-readers and iPads engaging a new audience of readers (or at least book buyers)? Or are consumers simply making the switch from print to digital?

According to the AAP figures, the growth in e-book sales didn't save the industry from declining sales. But the drop in sales overall was small - just 1.9% - as total book sales across all platforms and across all categories fell from $821.5 million in January 2010 to $805.7 million in January of this year.

More interesting, however, the breakdown in those sales: the adult mass market paperback section fell the most, declining over 30%. Adult paperbacks dropped almost 20%. Adult hardcover sales fell 11%. Children's hardcover and paperback sales fell, too - 2% and 17.7% respectively. Altogether, the drop in sales of these two key elements of the publishing industry amounted to a $50 million decline.
