Amazon Bestseller Campaigns -- and BN.com as well!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I just created an incredible video describing how to create and operate an Amazon Bestseller Campaign that produces real results: book sales that catapult your book to the top of Amazon.com -- or BN.com! The video is part of my Ten Million Eyeballs online marketing course. This one video reveals more in one hour than other courses that charge $500 to $3,000 and take weeks to deliver enough information so you can act.

You can have this one video plus a whole lot more as part of the Ten Million Eyeballs online marketing course (still available in $500 and $700 packages for at least another few weeks). Or you can order the new Amazon Bestseller Campaign program for only $297. Your choice.

We Follow user-generated Twitter directory
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We Follow: http://www.wefollow.com — You can list yourself in this user-generated directory of Tweeple by sending a tweet as follows:

@wefollow #tag1 #tag2 #tag3

One tag should say #author if you are an author. The other two tags can be your keywords. You are limited to 3 tags.

Twitter jumps BookMarket.com's Alexa rank 57,000 in eight weeks
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Two months ago BookMarket.com's Alexa rank was 169,421. On April 1st BookMarket.com's Alexa rank was 112,011. The 57,000 difference is due to my Twitter activity. Nothing else has changed during that time in regards to my online marketing activity.

If you haven't joined Twitter yet, and I know many of you haven't, you should join now. As you should know, I've not been big on social networking activities because they can be so time-consuming, but Twitter is different. In a few minutes a day, you can make a big difference in your website traffic.

How do I know that most of you are not on Twitter? Simple. Because you're not following me -- and you should be when you join!
