The Smashwords Book Marketing Guide is a fantastic resource. It's the 'Bucket List' of ebook marketing; I find myself returning to it again and again to make sure I'm covering all the bases. It's my personal 'do-list.' This guide is even better than Mr. Coker's other free gem, The Secrets to Ebook Publishing Success, which is also a must-have. The Smashwords Book Marketing Guide is a lean and mean instruction manual for turning over every stone. Thank you for this great resource!

The Secrets to Ebook Publishing Success is a must-read for any self-publishing author. Possibly a little wordy with some obvious instructions, it's still chock-full of excellent advice, tips, and resources. Although I liked The Smashwords Book Marketing Guide a little better, they are a great companion set. It's well-written and organized in a logical manner. Definitely a steal for free, as it is easily worth paying for.

Interesting and I picked up a few tips, but there was nothing there that is not obvious for any author who has already published a book and is on the marketing trail. Worth the read though.

This was pretty good and easy to follow, but I'm sure it could have been shorter. I read it immediately after reading Coker's Secrets to e-boook Publishing Success, and I'm starting to notice a tendency to long-windedness.

This book would be vastly improved by the addition of a short (1-2 page) list of steps to take in formatting a book for Smashwords, with inks to the relevant chapters for those who need or want more detail.
