An author is paying me to get more attention for his book by “recommending” it to other similarly themed books on Amazon.com. He has tried this out and it comes down to the fact that you can only do it twice a day otherwise the spam detectives delete your posts.

How does it work? Each book page on Amazon has a section where customers can either recommend a book in addition to the one you’re looking at, or recommend a book instead of the one you’re looking at. When shoppers are checking out books and see your recommendation, hopefully they will take a look at yours as well — and ideally add it to their cart. It’s an easy way to reach your target audience.

I’ve also started doing it for Stories of World Travel.
