Whether or not I have a book out, in this case, for children aged approximately between 7-10, and their parents who will want to buy it, remains to be seen.

I also suggest another reason, and that is that it is very difficult for a relatively unknown author with limited means to become recognised.

In my late seventies, I have the time and the focus. I’m willing to invest some money and, so I’ve been told, I also have a thriller novel that is both relevant and decently written.

Probably yes, if you already understand the website/newsletter/bulk email processes. The advertising course is a vast expansion of, in particular, facebook advertising.

There’s nothing insulting – and nothing wrong – about his comment. Most indie authors simply can’t write and they don’t write ‘good books’. He wrote a review of the course and put his reasons why Dawson’s points might not work for some people and that reason is their books are simply no good.

Thanks for this valuable advice. My first book: “The Conscience of An Agnostic” is listed on Amazon and I will soon start advertising it. I recently read “Mastering Amazon Ads For Authors” by Brian D. Meeks and I thought it was excellent. I will keep Mark Dawson’s course in mind.

First of all, he didn’t tell anyone to buy it. Secondly, I don’t see why this matters at all. He offered a balanced opinion based on his research. You are more than welcome to dispute any individual claims he makes in the post, that’s fair, but assigning some hidden motive to him is unnecessary.

If what he’s saying in the article is true, who cares?

If anything he’s said isn’t accurate, I invite you to inform us of what that is, which would be a much more productive thing to do.
