RiskBuster Eblast Moving Forward and Upward

It’s 11:00am and I’m so completely overwhelmed by the positive energy our amazing team of partners and friends are putting into the RiskBuster Book Launch.

I’m thrilled to report that the book just moments ago reached it’s highest ranking so far today… here is a clip from the Amazon page:

Amazon.com Sales Rank: #22,737 in Books (See Bestsellers in Books)

#7 in Books > Business & Investing > Small Business & Entrepreneurship > Home Based
#29 in Books > Business & Investing > Small Business & Entrepreneurship > New Business Enterprises

The Train Just Turned the Big Corner – Best Seller in 2 Categories!

Ok, I need to get a life.

Awesome! In my last post I waxed philosophical by comparing book marketing to getting a train turned around. The train just got it’s head pointed in the right direction.

I’ve been monitoring activities and noted some ebook sales at the RiskBuster site, folks

Half an hour ago the Amazon ranking was at #2,207,753, with no visibility in the categories.

At 7:00am it just popped up to #71,564 in Books overall and made the Best Seller List 2 of the categories…

#36 in Books > Business & Investing > Small Business & Entrepreneurship > Home Based
#78 in Books > Business & Investing > Small Business & Entrepreneurship > New Business Enterprises

Early Morning Book Launch Thoughts

I awoke too early this morning, I’m sure I heard Oprah scratching at my door in an attempt to get her hands on a copy of RiskBuster… yup, definitely time to get up and greet the world!

Of course, reality crashes in around me as soon as I belly up to my laptop. No Oprah, just me and a honker of a low Amazon ranking!

It’s still early here and a few of our partners are getting messages out to their lists. The Amazon ranking has dipped lower than ever to #2,207,753 a few minutes ago. Trying to improve the ranking is like trying to turn a moving train.

It is commonly said (usually by lawyers) that anyone who attempts to defend themselves in court has a fool for a client. Based on that logic, an author attempting to market his own book might be said to be a bit delusional. Nonetheless, people occasionally win their own court cases, and authors can bust through a busy marketplace and speak directly to readers.

Methinks it’s probably never been easier, but it’s still a lot of work. And you don’t do it alone. My many friends are my lifeline today.

Brandt Smith’s RiskBuster Book Launch Message

This is a quote from Brandt’s message this morning:

“Yesterday I reviewed Dan Boudreau’s book RiskBuster: Start or Grow Any Small Business, Wherever You Are With Whatever You Have, Right Now! Overall I was impressed with how Dan managed to go in depth while making the book easy to read. I was also impressed with the tools and forms that accompanied the book.” Read the rest of the post.

Your Business. Your Plan. Your Way.
