Aptly named "My Way", this book will take you simply and easily through each step that I took in order to get my book "Wrong Place Wrong Time" to the #1 spot in True Crime on Amazon's USA chart.

If you're a newbie, or if what you've been doing just isn't working, I'm hoping this book will help you to get the recognition you deserve.

It's written in a very easy to read style with no technical words, no assumptions and no need to research anything I discuss in order to understand it. Everything is explained fully, and written in its most basic form. I don't tell you what to do, I show you how I did it. I also provide examples of what I continue to do, as well as links to wonderful people who will help you in your journey.

If you're not a social media guru...if you're someone who perhaps knows that you should be using Twitter and Facebook and other social media platforms, but aren't entirely sure how you should be using them or what you should be saying, then this book is for you. However, if you already know what you're doing and are just looking for the 'secret' to having a bestselling book, you'll be disappointed. There is no secret.

'My Way' is quite simply a story. It's the journey I took from the unknown to the acknowledged; from being in the abyss of the Amazon charts to making my way to the top.

Selection of the many 5***** reviews received for "MY WAY" across Amazon!

"His advice worked for me. 'My Way' is like a handful of jewels, scattered out in front of you."

"If my second book's steady trickle of sales goes on building, he might have helped me to 'kick start' my sales."

"Thanks to David's advice I got almost 2000 free downloads & since then, almost 100 sales in the days following."

"I'm now working my way through the book and applying ideas to the promotion of my own novel."

"My Way is the first book I've read that provides really usable tips & advice on how to get your book noticed."

"Not an author but the marketing tips in this book will help me push my company forward in social media."

"No hesitation in giving this 5 stars. Thanks David for publishing "MY WAY". I intend to put the advice into practice."

"Picked it up & read it through in one sitting. "My Way" has some great tips for any indie author."

"Followed David on twitter for a while & seen how successful his work has been, so when My Way came out, it was a no-brainer."

"Internet is a vast place & there's a hell of a lot of books, so DON'T GO PUBLISHING WITHOUT IT, GOOD PEOPLE!"

"Having read Dave's first book & enjoyed his conversational style I decided to give it a try & I'm glad I did."

"I read "My Way" in an hour & now the world is my oyster. Highly recommended."

"Must-have for all new authors. Priceless information, succinct & neat, without any waffle."

"Lots of tips - generous & encouraging- someone you would want to have a cup of tea with after finishing the book."

"Just spent a happy afternoon following David's advice and, frankly, it is enlightening!
Packed with lots of facts about creating the best self promotion platform for the indie author."

"For somebody who is just starting on the #self-publishing experience this book would be an excellent."

"No filler no bumph just an honest account of how to get a book high up in Amazon & more importantly keep it there."

Hello and thank you for visiting my author page.

WRONG PLACE WRONG TIME my first book & is based on true events. The success of Wrong Place Wrong Time has been mind blowing and the reviews from readers around the world has been a wonderful surprise. Over 1,000 x 5* reviews across Amazon and social media. The book has been #1 in many categorises across the Amazon world and is now a BOOK TO MOVIE project with Golden Mile Productions and No Reservations Entertainment, with Mark Foligno as EXECUTIVE PRODUCER from Bafta winning movies, such as Moon and The Kings Speech. Also, I can't wait to announce very soon, the name of the Hollywood/British DIRECTOR.

I have also written THREE other TRUE STORIES, titled FIVE WEEKS, about my visit to America where I'm nearly left for dead in Pennsylvania. 24 HOURS IN NEW YORK about yes you guessed it, my 24 hour stay in New York, and 13, about events that happen to me when I was 13!

My CRIME FICTION SERIES has received over 180 reviews on my blog with readers demanding a TV series. The books are titled, WRITE TO KILL, WRITE TO SURVIVE and WRITE TO LIVE, and follows a loved up budding author, who's in mountains of debt, get's involved with the boss of a London underworld gang, called MAD DOG MADDOX, is offered thousands of pounds to commit a hideous crime and writes a book about it, which becomes a WORLDWIDE BESTSELLER and a MOVIE! Don't worry, this is not another true story!!!!

I have also written EIGHT books all about book marketing and promoting authors around the world in various genres!

A Reader’s Perspective

Insightful!

I have known David for a while and have done near enough everything he has said in his book and not got his level of sales. The only thing I have not done is 5 days straight in the KDP scheme - this could be an option.

The only thing David has failed to mention is genre... Some genre's are definitely more popular than others and since his book is nonfiction, he is not competing against the masses of fiction novels currently on the market. I believe the nonfiction market attracts a different reader. I have seen this with my nonfiction short story (which I do not actively market) promotion. When promoted alongside a fiction charity anthology it faired a lot better, even though the anthology was a much better buy.

However, for new authors this book is extremely useful. It does give you an idea of what you have to do to gain potential success. The best idea for Twitter users is to use Tweet Deck (i never got on with it and use Hootsuite instead).

The problem is how much time do you all want to commit to selling your book?

Ultimately, every writer wants readers to enjoy their books and the only way to get your books read is to promote. If you are self published, and even if traditionally published via a small press, you need to do this yourself.

I believe we are all entitled to dream and, like David said in his book, hope it'll happen of its own accord. Unfortunately, it rarely does. Think of all the hype, publicity and marketing that goes into making traditional books sell - thats right, it doesn't happen by magic for them either.

I started on my journey in the same way David did (I also started my first novel in Feb 2010) and will see my own Trilogy to the end on my own. But, after this I intend to seek representation for my next novel. If I am not successful I will self publish. I think the value of agents and traditional publishers is still massive, especially at a time when some readers have become wary of self published books. I sometimes wish I had tried harder before I self published since I did get great feedback from agents at the Festival of Writing (organised by The Writers Workshop). One agent said "why did you do it?" Truth, I had already committed to self publishing at the time and I have learnt a lot from the process.

Thank you David for mentioning me in your book, I appreciate it. Having read your book I know I am doing everything I can, but I'll check out a few more sites you recommended. I would also like to add the value of "blog hops" - it seems to work for a lot of authors...

Review of My Way
By Dave P. Perlmutter.

Let me start this review by saying that I'm an Internet veteran who cut his teeth on Windows 3.11, cursed his way through Windows 95, skipped 98 and jumped from XP to the Linux (Ubuntu) system without stopping for breath. I can take a webpage into a text editor and fix the HTML, I know my way around the Internet and can hack my own browser to make it behave sensibly. With DTP experience I can create my own ebook. However when it comes to social media I fully admit I've flunked the intro class. I understand what it does and what it's for, posting pictures of cats apparently, but when it comes to actually using social media to promote my own books my brain goes in about ten different directions, and I spend days clicking links and thinking there must be an easy beginners course.
Enter Dave P. Perlmutter's, <i>My Way</i> it's aptly named because as he tells us in the intro this is how he went about marketing his novel, <i>Wrong Place, Wrong Time.</i> That's a refreshing tone because so many writers tend to take to the pulpit to tell us mortals how it's done and while they mean well they're just another voice. A new writer might take it all on board until they download the next writer handbook or social media how to and find the advice is different.
Perlmutter's book is very short and to the point, covering formatting to layout and artwork, (in his case he emailed a friend) and then we get to the guts of the book, the marketing. Here he has laid everything out simply and in some parts it's almost too simple but it is also accessible to most folks. I call it a check list of things to do once you've uploaded your book.
Much of what he talks about isn't new to me, as I mentioned I've been around the Internet for far too long but having it laid out so simply made all the pieces fall into place for me. There are no black arts to learn, it's a simple process that may not give you a bestseller but at least you'll know you've done everything possible to give you a shot at making some money back. You may modify your marketing to accommodate your own book but this gives you a recipe for putting together a good marketing campaign. He's artfully synthesized a lot of information into short simply written chapters and perhaps that's why it made an impact on me. I can flick through his book whenever I need to check something and I'm not wading through a mountain of words. It's the simplicity behind this book that makes it a great resource.
There are books out there that go into the social media phenomenon in greater detail and you may find you need to delve more deeply into it. But with this book you've got a walk up start and for authors struggling to make sense of social media that's got to be a good thing.
A well deserved five stars.
