I’m glad it was helpful, Nancy! I think that doing what he has done at his level would be challenging for many of us, but doing them in a smaller way might work out fine. For example, acquiring $4 million in donated giveaways might be unrealistic but a few hundred $$ worth of bonus materials? Probably doable. Re. #12, could you send PDF review copies via e-mail?

Thank you so much for taking the time to share specifics here — it’s so helpful!

My first book has been out for awhile and I only just did a book trailer. I can incorporate much of this for my next book, but here are some obstacles to my duplicating his plan:
#12: Amazon overload: takes money to send out books for free. But a friend priced his ebook at 99 cents and asked buyers to leave an amazon review. Doable.
#7: incentives: that would be a challenge. Not enough contacts and finances to arrange.
#5 is totally doable since I’ve had a blog for awhile. I actually started blogging two years ago because I read that his blog was one of the keys to Tim’s successful book sales.
#4 is mind-boggling. It seems to take many more contacts than I have.
But so much of this can be done! Thank you so much for sharing this!
