Linda Leon interviews Best Selling Author Vicki Lieski

Over 100,000 E-books Sold by Self Published Author

Talk about a David v/s Goliath story, self-published authors are giving traditional publishers havoc. All across the book industry self-publishers are getting social media savvy, book marketing capable and book buzz proficient. This has sent shockwaves through the traditional book marketplace. When I interviewed Vicki Lieske, a New York Times Best Selling (Self Published) Author that sold over 100,000 e-books I was cheering!!! No longer do writers have to wait to be “selected” by publishing houses. No longer do writers have to have their dreams bruised by rejection letters. They simply have to become knowledgeable about book marketing, just like Vicki did, and elevate their book into public awareness. The Internet has made that extremely possible and has leveled the playing field between the self-publishers and traditionalist. We see the footprints of it everyday as online book sales topple in store purchases, as bookstores close throughout the country and as e-books sales sky rocket.

Vicki candidly discussed how she was able to accomplish this in such a short amount of time. In recap the key was getting connected with people in forums, through online interviews/reviews and participating in groups. She also stressed the importance of having a quality book. It was an absolutely fabulous interview and filled with so much more information. I have placed a link on my about page to direct you to the full interview. Happy listening and if you like the interview please share it with your social media friends and leave a comment.
