Great cover and cool title. That was enough to get me to buy PLUG YOUR BOOK. In fact, this book was perfect until I opened it and started reading. What a waste of my time and precious money. Honestly, there’s nothing here that you can’t get from surfing the web.

I am looking for unique information and unique ideas. Steve gave so-so information like “How to turn our blogs into blooks? I don’t think he understands we writers prefer quality to quantity. It was an interesting read. Very organized, clear and concise. What I missed was HIM. He forgot to put himself in his book. Who is this Steve Weber that is all over the internet? I think he is hiding behind his cover. I got a few interesting urls to checkout. It is a great book for about publishing and promoting. I noticed he devoted a whole page to How to Change My Friends on MySpace. Most everybody knows this medium is driven by teenagers and young people. Yes, my name, Joyce White, is there and my own book; but, I don’t hang there a lot. Sincerely, Joyce White.

Good book. Good advice. I wanted more info. on search engines and more specific advice on online campaigns; however, it was easy to read and was filled with many useful links.
Thank you,

I didn’t think any book could come with new stuff on this topic but it does. There is some old stuff but plenty of new tricks to get my teeth around in plugging my stuff online. I have been told by publishers that online sales account for 10% of sales – now I am beginning to wonder.
