Write quality books: You have to believe, in the deepest part of your soul, that it is a good thing for readers to buy and read your book. Your goal is to provide as much extra value to readers as possible.
Proper Marketing: Marketing isn’t sleazy car salesman tactics. Marketing isn’t tricking people into buying. Marketing isn’t unethical. Marketing isn’t intrusive self-promotion. Marketing is two things: (1) creating lasting connections with people, through (2) a focus on being relentlessly helpful.
