This was my reply to BookWhirl:

Hello Bryan (or is it "Brian" given that you can't even spell your name consistently, not to mention several spelling and grammatical errors throughout your e-mail ?):

For the record How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free, a Promotional
Giveaway by VIP BOOKS has already sold over 110,000 copies and has been published in 9 languages.

I have only started marketing it, since as I just told my new distributor National Book Network, that I intend to sell 500,000 copies of this book.

But this certainly won't be achieved with the help of BookWhirl.

Funny, a friend just contacted me the other day asking about BookWhirl, which I had never heard of.

I took one look at your company's website, checked the programs and the prices, and immediately told my friend to avoid companies like yours like the plague because you know very little about effective book marketing.

Later, I also found a blog / website discussing your company's practices, and the many comments on the webpage confirmed my first impressions, even downgrading what I initially thought about the integrity and usefulness of your company.

My success has been a result of many things including learning to stay away from companies like yours.

I know things about creative book marketing that people in your company will never know.

As Jack Canfield and Tony Robbins say, "Results don't lie!"

I have sold 625,000 copies of my books worldwide and have been published in 27 different countries in 20 languages.

My pre-tax profits from my books are now close to $1.5 million even though most of my books were rejected by major publishers and had to be independently published.

If you want to learn my marketing techniques, some which are unique and unknown to even the best book marketers, I am available for consulting at $3,500 an hour.

I require 50 percent in advance, however.

Thank you.

So long for now,
