Yet another free ebook from The Nametag Guy

Last month I released a free ebook about speaking. It was downloaded a few thousand times, which ain't bad.
Because I got so many positive emails, calls and comments about it, I decided to write a companion ebook for authors and self publishers. Here she is:
Selling and Marketing Books
Three of my favorite tips are:
#37: I would recommend you give away at least one free downloadable ebook a year and post it on your website/blog. It gives value, increases traffic and often results in future sales via click-throughs. (Kind of like I'm doing RIGHT NOW.)
#84: If you don't want to make this a business, don't bother.
#196: People don’t want to rent a car; they want to get out of the airport. Think about it: what does your book REALLY DO for your readers?
LET ME ASK YA THIS...
What does your book really do for your readers?

scott - just found you and i am so enjoying your commentary, your topics, your attitude, your great sense of humor in getting your points across. so relevant and perfect for me at this time. i've been sharing your site with friends, widening the circle.
you rock.
This ebook is packed with outstanding ideas -- I really appreciate you putting it together, Scott.
In particular, I found your suggestion to focus on group sales to be especially helpful. I think many new authors tend to focus on individual sales to the exclusion of profitable, bulk selling opportunities.
