Easy to follow and packed full of information. Thank you!

Awesome book! Read it twice... A must-have book, especially for newbie writer/publisher!

A must read for anyone aspiring to be a published author. Well done, Mark, and thank you so much for giving us this Smashwords venue!

Excellent advice for new ebook writers. Thank you!

I'm not even close to looking into publishing yet and was fairly certain that I would at least try traditional publishing first, but decided to read this anyway as it seemed interesting regardless. It definitely was. It has me excited about self-publishing (which may not be a good thing as I have to keep reminding myself that I really am not ready for that yet) or doing a mixture of self-publishing and traditional publishing, if it works out, depending on what's right for a particular book.

Haven't finish reading it yet, but this is really helpful. :)

Very usefull!!

I just finished reading Mark Coker's free book, "Secrets to EBook Publishing Success". I appreciated his helpful and collegial attitude. All that info and at no cost! I already used several of his suggestions on my own recently published book in order to expand "my platform". (He writes about that in the book.) Thank You Mark!!

Secrets to Ebook Publishing Success by Mark Coker is a thorough self-help manual about how to succeed as an ebook author. It is a good book for a soon-to-be-published author, but it is also helpful for an author who has already published a book, or several books for that matter.

This book covers a lot of information, which is pleasing since it is free. You usually can’t go wrong with free, and this book is no exception. It emphasizes the importance of writing a well-written and edited book with a great title and cover design. It talks about the value of connecting well with your readers, distributing your ebook to as many online retailers as you can, giving your book away for free, developing your author platform, maximizing “virality,” and studying bestsellers in your genre. It covers the most popular cycles or trends of ebook sales, how to deal with negative reviews, and how to set an appropriate ebook price. It goes into adequate detail about twenty-eight “secrets” to having a successful ebook; plus, there are additional chapters of other helpful information.

I have published four ebooks myself, and even though I have heard of most of the tips Coker provides - because of my five years of publishing experience - it is a well-written book with lots of insights that would help aspiring authors, new authors, and authors who don’t have much experience with editing, formatting, publishing, marketing, and networking, and anyone who is looking to learn a new tip or two to improve their ebook’s sales.
