Thanks for the great tips! I never suspected Amazon was offering user-generated content, outsisde the book reviews.

John --

These are some great ideas. I had never thought about using an Amazon profile and writing things like reviews to get exposure for something like a business or a blog. I'll have to explore that further.

@Roger - I only scratched the surface here too - Amazon has done a great job of getting others to create tons of content for them. It's a model others drool over from a community standpoint.

John,

I’ve been looking into Amazon myself recently. I decided to take a blog post I wrote of my Top 5 Photoshop CS3 books and convert it to a Listmania. Twice the exposure half the work. I just did this yesterday and here you are the next day recommending it. Great minds think alike. Thanks for the additional insight regarding options for authors. I guess I better get cracking on my book.
