Matt Stone, also known as "Buck Flogging," is the founder of Buck Books and co-founder of Archangel Ink. Matt has been earning a full-time income as an author since 2010, has self-published 20 books, and has written two traditionally-published books as well. He's most notable for the creation of Buck Books at the end of May, 2014, which has quickly grown to become the 2nd largest book promotion website on earth. Food for Thought Just because it's traditionally published it doesn't mean that it's gonna sell. Traditional publishers are not better at selling books than indie authors are. It is impossible to have a successful book run on a self-publishing book if you don't have at least a little bit of a launch platform built in. If you have a launch platform built up (no matter how big it is) that still does not guarantee that the book will be a bestseller but you can definitely give it a good chance. The success of each book can almost directly be linked and co-related to the number of downloads it got in the first 24 hours. Many authors do everything by themselves and as a result can't make a professional product. 99 cent releases and promotions are really powerful. Author's time is best spent on writing and publishing more books. Buck Books Buck Books was created to come up with the marketing solution for published books. The service is free and they don't charge authors. The books they are looking to promote should be: of good quality preferably always priced at 99 cents (not countdown deals) at least 100 pages long (longer better) are heavily discounted Buck Books also promoted books, which are doing their free promotion. Soon Buck Book will have a new service for fiction books. On Gaining Readers Blogging takes too much time and does not work very well for authors (especially fiction authors). Instead you could try: Get outside of your website and network with people, who've already built their audience. Tap into and appear in froty of their audience (write something for them - guest post, story, etc.) Network with writers, who will help you Create a podcast Host events Organize a competition on your website (and capture e mail addresses like that) Put a link at the end of your book sending readers to your site where you capture leads Useful Links Matt's Amazon Author Page Archangel Ink Buck Books GoodReads Pat Flynn's Kindle Publishing Facebook Group Keep writing and stay in touch.

How do I get started with my new Internet business?    Today, James calls someone who has been influential in him building his own business, Buck Flogging.   Buck says, "Find a way to tap into the hard work that others have done in building their audiences and then find a way to get those people over to your site. They've done a lot of the hard work, so build good, strong, healthy relationships with them; you can get there a lot faster."   For too many people, the usual formula has been...    You keep writing and writing... praying someone will subscribe.   Instead, spend the bulk of your time off your website, not on your website. Drive these readers back to your website via a good landing page and create your most important tool using this shortcut.   Your e-mail list...   

Matt Stone and his alter ego, Buck Flogging, is the author of more than 15 books, one of which was a #1 Amazon bestseller in it’s category for 17 straight months, and the co-founder of Archangel Ink - an audio book publishing company created by authors, for authors. I invited Matt (or was it Buck Flogging) on the show after stumbling upon his book, “Kill Your Blog: 12 Reasons Why You Should Stop F#$ing Blogging”, but got more than I had bargained for.
