The book published without saying a word
What are the ingredients of success in publishing? Brilliant author, excellent book, luck … We have to disappoint you and say nothing of that. An example is the Shed Simon, who has in only one week designed and published a book titled “What Every Man Thinks About apart from sex.
Shed Simon has earned millions of dollars with that book and ended up on 44th best-selling books on Amazon. It would not be any surprise that the 200 pages there is not one single word.
Simon has already written a book titled “Man the idea” but he has not made financial gain, while this happened with a book in which there is not one letter. Best-selling author says that behind this success great job is done in the equipping and preparation of books and a great London PR agency. They sure must be a great PR agency because otherwise they would not make a hit out of blank sheets.
When the book was put in sale, the agency sent a press release in which he argued that the book is popular with students because it comes in handy for making notes in lectures or in learning. It was even promoted on YouTube.
Apart from good PR campaign, Shed Simova said that he has sent the book to the Playboy publisher Hugh Hefner. His lifelong dream was to be invited to one of his party. Hefner sent a card saying that the idea is funny, though not an original. The invitation was not sent.
