Book Advertising

Since I put out the offer for people to advertise their magic products for free on this site, I’ve received some interest from people who want to advertise their book or ebook. Unfortunately, to do that in the manner described in that post (where I tell everyone the worst thing about your product), I would have to read an entire book and carefully consider everything in it. That’s not a fun blog post. That’s homework. And I have no interest in that.

So here’s how the advertising will work for books and ebooks if you want to advertise them here.

You send me the chapter or trick that you consider to be the second best thing in your book. That will be posted here and any comments I have will be based on that excerpt.

“I’m not going to give you the second best thing from my book to post for free!”

Good! I don’t get anything out of it. I have plenty of posts to make regardless. I’m just saying if you want to capitalize on the readership here, that’s the price to pay. It’s a win for you and if what you’re offering is good it’s a win for the readers.

“What’s to prevent me from giving you something that’s not actually the second best thing from my book and getting the exposure regardless?”

Well, good sense should prevent that.

If you give me something that’s just okay and I post it saying that you consider it the second best thing in your book, it’s going to make your book look not very good. On the other hand, if your excerpt is really strong it will reflect well on the book and you and people will say, “And it’s not even the best thing in the book!”

See guys? I’m smart.

If you want to take me up on this to promote your book (I’ll do something similar for multi-trick DVDs/downloads), just get in touch.
