Yesterday, with much fanfare and a bit of fireworks, I kicked off the Tour de Commandments event for my 10 Commandments of Con Men etc. book.
I published that book a year ago, and have since sold ~4k copies.
I got a reply about that number from from online creator Kieran Drew, who continues to read my emails even though I viciously and without provocation assaulted him a few weeks ago in another email.
Kieran graciously wrote:
“4k! Incredible. What’s contributed to sales most? Just through your list?”
My list, great though it is, has not been the main driver of my Amazon sales. For one thing, my entire list is not 4k people. For another, while many of my readers did buy the book, more did not.
Instead, I attribute the biggest part of my book sales to Amazon ads.
Over the past 7 years, I have spent $18,487 on Amazon book ads. The vast majority of that has been spent on promoting this new 10 Commandments book and my previous 10 Commandments of A-List Copywriters.
I’ve seen on a couple occasions how my book sales (including organic sales) plummeted after ads were turned off.
For those reasons and more, I believe Amazon ads are the best way to sell books and get quality buyers onto my list, and something I plan to scale up soon (immediately after this promo).
But back to the Tour de Commandments. I have written up a new report, titled:
“3 lessons after $18,487 spent on running Amazon book ads”
I’m offering this report as a free bonus for the Tour de Commandments event. I’ve also prepared two other free bonuses:
#2. “40 Pages to Authority: A $1k article series”
Back in 2023, the the Professional Writers Alliance paid me $1,000 to write a 4-part article series about my experiences writing, promoting, and profiting from a 40-page book (my first 10 Commandments book).
PWA made these articles available to their paying members only. But you can get them as a free bonus for taking me up on my Tour De Commandments offer.
#3. “How I made an extra $1404.53/month in Amazon royalties at the push of a button”
This report outlines a hack, which involves the push of a button — literally, that’s all there is to it — and which made me an extra ~$1.5k per month in Amazon royalties. I used this hack once, over the span of a few months, or rather a few weeks. I made money with it. And I never used it again.
I’m not saying anybody else should use this hack. I’m not saying anybody else should NOT use it either.
All I’m willing to do is to tell you what this hack is, why I’m no longer using it myself, and how you can try it out yourself, if you so choose, to make easy money off Amazon.
And on top of these three new bonuses, there is the bonus I announced yesterday, Manna for Marketers, a live workshop where I will cover I’ve consciously applied these 10 Commandments of Con Men etc. in my biz.
Plus, I’m offering my help and input if you want to raise your hand live on the call, and ask me how to apply any of these commandments to your biz (or life).
If you want to take me up on this Tour de Commandments offer, here’s what to do:
1. Grab five paperback copies of the 10 Commandments book (or four, if you’ve already got a paperback and can dig up that receipt as proof)
2. Forward me your receipt (or receipts, if you already got one) from Amazon
3. I’ll get you in for the Manna for Marketers workshop, and get you access to the above Amazon-related bonuses, as well others I release in the coming days
If you’re in, here’s where to take me up on this offer:
