Kindle best seller\u00a0Srinivas Rao admitted in a business podcast recently that his latest self-published book,\u00a0The Art of Being Unmistakable: A Collection of Essays About Making a Dent in The Universe<\/em><\/a>, was languishing until it got an unexpected boost from publicity.<\/p>\n

Rao told interviewer Pat Flynn<\/a> that \u00a0he had sold a few hundred copies of his book early on but one day, when checking his Amazon page, he noticed something new.<\/p>\n

“I saw it was #1 in Entrepreneurship,” he said. “I\u00a0was like, ‘Oh, cool!’ so I tweeted about it. Some guy replied back saying, ‘Hey, you\u00a0might want to thank Glenn Beck! He raved about your book on his show.’ ”<\/p>\n

Rao sold 1,000 copies the day Beck mentioned the book and later, after appearing on Beck’s national show, he sold 10,000 copies in one week.<\/p>\n

Imagine that!<\/p>\n

Publicity power<\/h3>\n

This shows you the power of publicity. Get\u00a0a positive mention by a powerful media personality with a huge fan base, and your book sales will take off.<\/p>\n

But how do you get that kind of priceless media exposure?\u00a0I can teach you how.<\/p>\n

It starts with a good book, of course. (Read more about why quality counts here<\/a>.)<\/p>\n

Then you have to know how to catch the attention of the journalist or media outlet.<\/p>\n

You can do it!<\/h3>\n

This is one of the skills I teach in the three “Book Publicity 101: How to Build Book Buzz Premium E-courses”<\/strong> (traditionally published nonfiction, self-published nonfiction, and fiction) I’m offering again February 3-28, 2014<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
