Create Link Wheel
When you launch a product, may be you think to give as high as possible rate to receive bigger profit from it. From Steve’s experience, I realize that price is not everything all about, moreover if you have a brand new blog to build.
The smart idea is, he establish authority for his another site by publishing kindle ebook. He simply add link to his blog posts and call to action reviewing his product in Amazon. So that’s the link wheel I’m talking about. You drive costumers (visitors) from one place to another with all your name on it. In the end, you are the authority.

On the 3 ways he promoted his kindle ebook, making a post on Pat Flynn’s Facebook Group is kind a tricky for you to follow. I think it’s quiet clear that Steve has a good relationship with Pat that made him able to post such an update. That is exactly what you need to consider before you do the same marketing strategy or else you are just an amateur marketer that mark as spammers.
