The goal is success The goal is success - to sell books. This will take investments. It will also take book reviews. Thus far no one accepts unsolicited book submissions for review. I did find one book club for my book review. The question is - how does your book standout among millions of books? LifeRich needs a nexus with book reviewers. I will try Google advertising. If I can generate revenues I will try other venues.
