Your Viral Ebook

Okay. Panzer and I admit it. We're just like you.






We've been looking for marketing ideas to make his ebook go viral.

You know ... be the next Smashwords success story ...  hit the Million Club at Amazon/Kindle.

So, we were out in the catosphere looking for ideas. And we found Larry Brooks' Storyfix blog.

Larry has a post explaining his take on what makes an ebook go viral. He uses E.L. James' 50 Shades of Grey as an example. He breaks the book's success down into two things: 1) hero empathy and 2) a vicarious adventure. Panzer and I admit it. We agree with him totally.

So ... tootle on over to Storyfix and read all about it.
