Best seller list book marketing experiment

Best seller book lists are everywhere.

You see them on the internet, and in the popular mainstream media.

Achieving a top position on those exalted best seller lists is the holy grail for many authors. I could make a bad pun here, about the Dan Brown runaway bestseller The Da Vinci Code, I suppose.

I'll try to fight the urge.

I don't think I succeeded.

Anyway.

Author and blogger Vikk Simmons of Down The Writer's Path is conducting a marketing experiment on best seller lists.

Her new book is called Exploring Texas History : Weekend Adventures.

You might notice that Vikk's name is not listed on some of the Amazon.com links. They are being corrected and updated to include her name as well.

Vikk is attempting to move her new Texas history book up the Amazon.com best selling titles list. She is employing a combination of linking and blogging, as part of her book marketing campaign.



Blogs have already proven to be a author's dream for marketing their books, whether a novel or a work of non-fiction.

So far, Vikk's book marketing experiment is working very well.

Her campaign is moving her Exploring Texas History : Weekend Adventures ever higher on the best seller lists.

A combination of writer creativity on the part of Vikk Simmons, and the power of blogging, and a best seller can be achieved.

Blogs, books, and best sellers.

A winning marketing combination.
