How Bestseller Lists Work…and Introducing the Amazon Monthly 100 91 Comments
So you want a bestseller? If you're going to compete against 200,000+ books per year in the US, you better understand how the lists work. (Photo: See-ming Lee)
This will be a short post, but it's one I've wanted to write for a long time. Special thanks to my book agent, Steve Hanselman, for help.
Having had two bestsellers (and preparing to launch what I hope will be a third), I'm constantly asked about how bestseller lists work. It can be a very complicated subject, but I'll provide a summary of the major lists below, with the bonus of a brand-new list you've never seen: The Amazon Monthly 100.
The New York Times
At the top of the heap of all the lists, of course, are the publishing industry standards: The New York Times Bestseller lists. Yes, "lists." There are a lot of NYT lists: in fact, now 20 weekly and 3 monthly lists. Check them out here. The 4-Hour Workweek is still appearing here at #10 this weekend, more than five years after publication! It's been a wild ride.
The New York Times list is what they call a "survey," based on a proprietary and closely-guarded list of accounts they poll weekly for sales. It's tabulated Sunday to Sunday, which is why I prefer to launch on Tuesdays instead of Thursdays, two common options for publishers (nope, you can't just launch at retail whenever you like)…
The Times uses a methodology for filtering these reported sales that excludes books which are reported too narrowly. For example, if only a few accounts are reporting significant numbers, and most are not reporting any, they will automatically exclude this title. Ditto if a lot of bulk sales (high-volume sales to one customer) are reported without the balance of a broad reporting profile. You may have noticed the "dagger" next to titles on their lists–that means bulk sales have been reported, but a lot of "normal" sales too, so the title makes it. Often titles that do well across the board are not even tracked on the list. Note to authors: it is the publisher's job to make sure NYT have a copy of the book and are tracking it. Independent bookstores are known to be central to success on the Times' lists, so if they turn their nose up at your book, you are toast, alas.
Nonfiction books that deal with advice, how-to, political and a host of other prescriptive and practical matters (including some religion) are treated by the Times separately from all other non-fiction. They are given the shortest of all the lists, the 10-slot weekly "Advice/How-To" list, sometimes referred to as the "Mt. Everest of lists." To make matters more confusing, the Times refuses to track eBook sales for all this "lesser" non-fiction! This all means that many worthy and popular titles fail to make the shorter Advice/How-to list and are then doubly damned by being ignored on the NYT eBook lists… even if they had enough sales to make both lists in the broader "Nonfiction" category. I've seen authors petition for reclassification precisely for this reason. It can make the difference between "New York Times bestseller" on the cover and resume, or not.
The Wall Street Journal and USA Today
All of these vagaries don't apply to the other major lists, like the Wall Street Journal list, which is based strictly on Nielsen Bookscan reporting (estimated to be about 75-80% of the actual market on most general trade titles) and includes eBooks, without filtering out types of non-fiction. This is sometimes referred to as a "compiled" list. Bookscan will remove books from its reporting that are selling in bulk in only a few outlets, so they keep the lists true in that way.
Some say the truest of all the lists, which tracks all formats of a single title rolled up into one number that is then ranked against all other types of books (fiction, nonfiction, children's), is the USA Today list. Unlike the Times, everything fights against everything else, like the old UFC with no weight classes. Like the Times, it's a survey based on a list of polled outlets, but there is no attempt to separate or filter categories or types of books (e.g. advice/how-to).
Now, The Amazon Monthly 100
If you've ever wondered like me what a pure listing of all new hardcovers would look like, regardless of subject matter, the below list provided to me by Amazon — which I'll call the "Amazon Monthly 100″ — is probably the closest you'll ever get.
I could see some variation of this list becoming the new standard in bestseller lists.
The normal Amazon top 100 is usually calculated on an hourly basis. The below list of the top 100 hardcovers was calculated over a MONTH (July). Making it a month is important, as this duration removes all one-week wonders and most pay-for-play (buying your own books to hit the list).
If you read through these top 100 for July, you'll see many books that never made the other lists.
Can you spot them? Would you like to see a list like this every month, or something like it? Let me know and I'll try and deliver!

Thanks for the info Tim! It will come in handy as my travel book gets published next February. This gave me a better understanding of how the lists work. Chris G gave me some good ideas on how to do a big pre-sale launch!
Awesome shit as always.
Thanks for this post Tim-
My first book is coming out in January so I was just starting to look into how bestseller lists work.
Matt, Tim or whomever else might be able to answer these questions related to pre-sales:
Do pre-orders count toward bestseller lists?
If so, are they counted on the release date or the ship date?
Thanks for your insight!
Elizabeth Grace Saunders-
To answer my own question:
Based on what I have seen in regard to pre-orders of my book on Amazon, I think that pre-orders are counted toward ranking and sales as they come through not on the day the book is actually shipped.
Hope that helps some authors and if I'm wrong in my observation, feel free to correct me.
To your brilliance!
Very interesting info Tim. I'm looking in to publishing a book called the London Cyclist Handbook so I'm taking this advice on board and seeing how it translates to us over here in the UK. Personally, if I can top a list on Amazon I know this will provide a good selling point for it and I believe the key to that is building up an interested audience and ideally having their contact details so you can get hold of people on the day of launch.
I'd definitely be interested in your book once it comes out…
Awesome and insightful information, thank you for sharing..
It is amazing how this information is calculated and positioned. After reading this I am going to pay closer attention to the USA Today list to see what treasures show up there. Please continue to share the monthly Amazon 100 list it was great to see what made their list! -
Nice dude. Looking forward to the launch of yours
Thanks for the excellent content Tim! I'm in the process of writing a few books; my take away from this post is to have a publisher & advisors around me who know what they're doing! I'm a very independent person but I feel that to do this right it's not just something you should ever take lightly (like anything of great importance in life), I definitely see a need for indepth strategy & planning!
Really appreciate your insight Tim, it's great to see that you not afraid to give away the hard facts to being successful! Cheers-
Hi Luke,
I've been hanging around this community for a few years now and every once in a while I'll click someone's name when it links to a website to see what they are "promoting". Your video on your homepage is the closest I have seen in a long time to combining genuine authentic passion for your work wrapped in an elegant and professional package. If you bring the rest of your marketing up to that level then you could really go places. Keep up the fight and keep polishing your work. You're getting close.
Thanks for the great feedback! I really value your words of encouragement, I sometimes feel like in this industry there are so many people who lack real integrity, so to know that people see my passion in my message really means a lot because I live my message everyday! hat are you passionate about Jason And thanks again Tim for all your wisdom.
Sorry Jason, last message sent before I realized the spelling error! Was supposed to say, What are you passionate about Jason!
Great article, Tim. And great Comments Rules, might I add. You have helped me much in my entrepreneurial quest thus far.
Interesting list, a few things
1) Being from Australia I don't recognize a lot of books on that list, from a quick browse it looks like the hunger games trilogy is the most dominant on the list (i think that's well deserved). Was surprised not to see 50 shades high up on the list (unless i missed it?), here in Australia we are a little behind but it has definitely crossed the adoption barrier with a bang, seems like every second girl is reading it/posting picture of the cover to facebook lol.
2)This might be a bit unfeasible because of how fluid amazons pricing is but it would be interesting to see that list with books bought at a "sale" price removed.
3) What i would really like to see is a 100 by 100 matrice with each book and percentage of people who also bought the other book. Ie if they bought the first hunger games novel what percentage bought fifty shades of grey etc.
I know recommendations is a massive part of Amazons business model, if i was amazon i would be collecting this correlation data, and using it to recommend to big authors who to work with. Ie if I've bought the four hour body recommendations for paleo books along with links to collaborations/articles you have done with the author of the paleo book. Amazon could not only charge for access to these recommendations, but also boost profits by increased book sales.
tldr: next time i would like a 100 by 100 matrice of correlations between buying one book and buying the other
A list of hardcover books means little to nothing for most of us. I can't remember the last time I bought one and I buy/read more than 150 books/year. I think a comprehensive list of hardback + paperback + ebooks will be more useful and we'll see all of these lists shift that direction in the future.
For someone who just started publishing on Amazon. This is great information.
Thanks Tim,
-Seven -
Thanks for the information on this Tim! I'm currently writing a short non-fiction book that I'll be self-publishing on Amazon and was curious how various entities established thresholds as to what constitutes a bestseller.
#3 woo hah!
What are you thoughts on pay-for-play?
Thanks for sharing this, Tim. As a writer/author, it's imperative to know the business inside and out. Every thread gets added to the ball of string. Thanks again and keep up the great work!
This monthly top 100 is a great idea. My only issue is with your picture caption, "So you want a bestseller? If you're going to compete against 200,000 books… You better understand how lists work…"
I could not disagree *more*. I've had four long-term bestsellers, including the two books that have stayed in the Amazon Top 100 for computers/Internet/tech longer than any other books… Over 2,000 days and counting. My first book sold over a million in print alone, at a retail price of over $40. I think about this *constantly*.
You already know my feelings, Tim, about those who credit the success of your books to savvy marketing and promotion. This makes no sense whatsoever *if you are talking about sustainable success/sales* because there is only one robust, reproducible way to have a non-fiction bestseller in the how-to, advice, instruction, etc. cateogory: the book MUST do what readers/buyers are hoping for, and must do it significantly better than competitors in its category.
As I said at my TOC keynote to publishers: "Tim Ferris has bestsellers because every single day, across the Internet and in live conversations, people are saying, "OMG I lost ten pounds. This actually works."
Creating a result for the reader is worth a million dollar marketing budget and the savviest list-management. You of course did *both*, but the magic lies not in you, or your marketing, but in the results your work produced for your readers. When I talk with our authors about creating bestsellers, we start by looking at the attributes of bestsellers including the book itself and its promotion. But the only reliable path to creating one is in realizing that the attributes of a bestseller DO NOT LIVE IN THE BOOK (or its marketing). The attributes of a bestseller live in the reader. They live in the result your book produced for that reader.
And you, Tim, have crafted books that produced true, sustainable, and deeply-motivating results for more people than I can comprehend. I often feel that your success and skill at *promotion* has led many to cargo-cult your success, mistaking the surface mechanics of the promotion of your books for the heart and soul core of their success. And that heart and soul core has very little to do with promotion (at least by your publisher and even you) and nearly everything to do with the promotion of your books by reader's whose lives were changed, profoundly.
A reader/user whose life was impacted so positively by your books will not STFU. There's the magic formula
Where does one find more Kathy? I like your thinking. We need more of you around these parts!
I like to think of marketing as a catalyst to the reaction. Tim's books created results that got people talking. His fantastic marketing increased the velocity at which those results were shared. *NOTHING* beats a quality product that is 10x better than the competition.
Best comment I've ever read on a blog. Anywhere.
"good job" comments like are annoying imo, but that was just too darn well articulated not to compliment.
It's so nice to see you here, and thank you for the VERY thoughtful comment. We still need to go riding on your horses!
I agree with you 100%. The results to the reader are the bedrock that supports everything else. And you, as one of the best storytellers I've ever met, are as qualified as anyone to teach this. In fact, I quote you all the time! I paraphrase a portion of a workshop/keynote you gave ages ago (E-Tech?), where you asked:
"In Amazon reviews, which would you rather have people talk about: you or your book?"
The answer was, of course: "Neither. You want them to talk about THEMSELVES… the results they achieved, the before-and-after awesomeness in their lives."
It's so, so true, and you see this in the 5-star reviews of long-term non-fiction bestsellers. That short keynote of yours has driven most of how I think about books, so thank *you* very much
Also, you might smile to know that I bought Head First Design Patterns (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0596007124/ref=wms_ohs_product) a few weeks ago just to review how you teach complex material!
Hope to see you again soon.
All the best,
Bonjour Monsieur Tim Ferriss,
Tout d'abord, je ne parle pas anglais et seulement français.
Je prends connaissance de votre livre "la semaine de 4 h". j'ai noté que vous lisiez vous email le lundi, donc semble-t-il, aujourd'hui – pour autant votre email personnel reste introuvable, je choisi donc ce biais pour vous écrire.
Vous proposez de prendre un mentor. Je vous choisi donc pour être mon mentor pour deux raisons : 1- vous êtes celui qui pourrez me faciliter la vie en gagnant plus et en ayant plus de temps pour moi et les miens 2- Parce que j'aime les défis pour moi et pour les autres. Je vous lance ce défi (et comme il n'y a pas de petit défi…).Ma proposition: nous vous recevrons pendant un mois à La Rochelle ; si vous ne connaissez pas le français, je vous apprendrais les bases quant à mon mari qui est Chef Cuisinier – Maitre Saucier et spécialiste des épices vous apprendra à réaliser des sauces atypiques et des plats de sa création qui vous ferons avoir une nouvelle corde à votre arc; en échange, vous m'accompagner afin qu'en 1 à 2 mois j'ai augmenté ma rentabilité financière à hauteur de 20000€/mois pour mon entreprise et de 5000€/ mois pour moi.
Je reste à votre disposition par mail ou par téléphone que vous trouverez sur le site academieculinairehoteliere.com.
Je vous souhaite une excellente journée et vous remercie par avance de votre réponse positive.
Hi Tim I am a 46 yr old dentist who has been in private single doctor practice for the past 15 yrs. I love what I do but I feel like I am hostage to my practice and can't take time off to travel the world with my family. If I am not in the office working I won't. Make any money. I can't outsource or work remotely .do u recommend I sell my practice and find something else to as recommended in ur book or should I start another career and then sell the practice? Have u helped any one else in my situation in the past that was able to make it work ? I appreciate any feed back for info ur book got me really excited .m I don't want to wt until I retire to enjoy life
Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Take that Kathy!!!
By the way Tim, I'd be interested to see a list like this every month.
Oh my God. Sincere, sincere apologies. I read this post on my mobile earlier and misunderstood this comment. I thought you were responding to a junk comment that referred to you as Kathy. Yikes. Now that I realize from my desktop that there really is a Kathy, I am so sorry. My words must have seemed really rude. My apologies again to both Tim and Kathy.
And by the way, for what it's worth, I vote for posting a monthly list.
This is one of the greatest comments (on the surface, constructive criticism, but upon closer inspection just a wonderful compliment to Tim's work) i've ever read.
Tim, I think a monthly list is an excellent idea- it allows the cream rise to the top, rather than the usual pond scum.
A small insight on the inner workings of publishing. Thanks
Really cool info. Thanks!
Tim, have you ever thought about experimenting with selling richer content, such as an interactive video coaching class, as a way to deliver higher value to each customer with far less work?
(like Eben and others)
Who is Eben?
Also, just a heads up, the video on your landing page didn't buffer well when I visited. My connection generally does 300 KB/s, but was doing between 60 and 90 KB/s which caused the video to freeze about 2.5 seconds in resulting in a 15 second delay, eternity in internet time, before continuing. If you can't upgrade your server then perhaps changing the flash element so that it displays video length with amount buffered would be helpful (think the red on grey on black at the bottom of youtube videos).
Thanks, very insightful. I'd love to see a monthly list from Amazon, but maybe presented with a bit more information about each title like a short excerpt or maybe some kind of editor's pick designation, etc.
The current list is great as a sales data set but it's time-prohibitive to treat is as a discovery tool for new finds without having a bit more at-a-glance info to help guide which ones I may want to look at in more detail.
Thanks for post on a topic that's been largely in the shadows.
Wait, so is this whole "hardcovers are special" bullcrap the reason why the Hunger Games sequels & 4-Hour Body don't have paperback editions after MANY years??
First off, please be civil. I never said "hardcovers are nice" and "bullcrap" won't score you points in this neighborhood.
I'll cover the hardcover debate in another post. Suffice to say that I don't think your book choices (especially for 400-600-page books) shouldn't be dictated by a $3-4 price difference.
hi tim i just read your book. very useful info. the reason i am writing is bc i am 45 yr old dentist with my own practice for the past 15 years. i still love what i do but feel like my career wont allow me to do things that i want to do before retirement. i have to be present everyday for the practice to be successful. so alot of the ideas in the book i cant use. do u recommend i keep practicing and start using some of the ideas in the book on the side.or selling the practice and starting fresh doing something else? have u helped anyone else with a similar situation in the past that can mentor me. appreciate ur time and any feedback. thx
Good work, Tim: the more people know about the ins and outs of how book lists work, the more effectively they'll be able to share their content.
Steve is my agent too, and I too have been lucky enough to have two NYT best-sellers on the "Advice/How-To" list, and am working on a third (June 2013). He is the best.
Something that is worth mentioning for all the lists is that momentum counts. Your own ability to bundle the book with other goods, and create recurring waves of PR, some of which others (e.g., bloggers who are influential in the space) can do for you, is a key to assuring success. Or at least, giving it a hand.
Something else worth mentioning: the staying power of 4 Hour Work Week is not just about the book.
Everything else that you do that gives you national (or even excited local) notice, lifts that boat, and the boat of the 4 Hour Body.
All boats rise with new PR, irrespective of whether it is about the book: a good example is your starter-pistol-in-checked-luggage reference from the NYTimes last month. Yowzer!
Totally agreed on all points! Thanks for chiming in!
Hey Tim,
Great post.Question for you: My upcoming book is currently classified as Advice & Misc (Paperback) — http://www.nytimes.com/best-sellers-books/paperback-advice/list.html
Would you suggest I petition for reclassification?
That's definitely a convo for your publisher. If you feel you can get it reclassified as "Non-fiction," your odds generally improve.
With the growth of ebooks, and independent/chain outlets going out of business – when does the Times survey become irrelevant?
Despite having no book publishing aspirations, I love finding out how historical ways of doing something are about to be overtaken. An actual "here's exactly how many books have been sold to the end user" makes complete sense as the basis of a best seller list in the medium.
It's a bit like the LIBOR scandal, that used to be ok to do a straw poll until people realised the potential for abuse and it became not ok!
you might want to check this one – Cheeky bastards!!
Great to hear what goes into making the lists – it's hard to know as a consumer and even as a self-publisher on Amazon's KDP. Hopefully eBooks will be included one day! Looking forward to the launch of 4HC, not far away now. Keep it up!
Hi Tim,
first of all thanks for the post above. I always wondered what was the Kindle:Hardcover book ratio with extremely large books like the 4HB for example.
I ve heard "rumors" that Kindle in general is outselling hardcover books by 3:1 these days. But I struggle to grasp how many "kindle pages" 4HB would have, since Kindle only holds about 250words a page, if I am not mistaken.
I would also like to know, if you got any "heat" from Amazon (or anyone else) for the 1.st day after launch 180 reviews scenario?
Thank you for the info.
Sincerely, Buyseech
My little Kindle currently holds 1086 books (I read about 3-4 per day, delete them, and add 3-4 more). It does "crash" fairly often, but will reset without any loss of data, so no big hassle. I don't know how many pages total the thing holds (some are 400+ pages, others a mere 50 or less).
At the same time, I read dozens of hardbacks a week and many additional paperbacks, newspapers, and magazines (mostly from the library).
I prefer holding an actual book, but with aging eyesight, the scalability of fonts in the Kindle is very helpful late in the day and into the evening. Also, if I'm very worn out, it will even read the book to me (not my choice, as the spoken word is much, much slower than reading).
Thanks for this, Tim. I've published three books, get the royalty statements from the publisher — and know I've sold more retail units that some that have made the NYT list. I never could understand why…until now. The list rewards those with a big splash, but not the slow, steady seller. Really appreciate the insight!
Off topic:
I am going to re-read The 4 Hour Work Week and Letters from a Stoic tonight.
Looking for a change in the way I think and do things.
Thanks for the inspirations you gave me when I read it the first time. Need to remember all that again.
This is my first attempt at writing a book. Some of this information is a little over my head, but apreciate it all the same. Could you break down the process you took when you first finished and released the four hour workweek?
This is another great post, and very timely for me. With all the hype and PR surrounding Fifty Shades of Grey, my book has seen a good spike in sales. I discovered that when you search Fifty Shades, my book pops up on the list of "People who bought this also bought…" which is a big help.
I appreciate the info on this; I need to take another serious run at a literary agent now that I have a reasonable track record of sales in this genre.

I've been publishing on Amazon for the last year, and sometimes I wish they only gave sales data once a week. Having a new top 20 every hour and new sales data if I want to log on is the sort of thing you can waste too much time looking at… Kind of like having an iPhone and carrying your email with you in your pocket all day, you're much more tempted to check frequently.
I didn't recognize a lot of these, and ended up hitting up Amazon for a couple. Would love to be able to access this regularly, so YES, definitely would love to see this again.
Re-reading 4HWW. Are you still interested in Political analyst research?

Hi Tim!!
I'm currently a high school senior, I'm home schooled but taking classes at a community college (for college and high school credits) anyways, I've read your book about four times (and I'm reading it again). I really love your view on life and I would love to get a head start on the four hour lifestyle as opposed to getting into the 9-5 life style and then having to un do it. Are there any suggestions from you as far as what to major in in college, and just where to start with my life in general? Thanks!!
Thanks for the info and most of all for taking time to do this for all of us. You may wanna hear a different message about what it means to be successful:
http://www.nextgreatestspeaker.com/profile.cfm?aid=72Looking forward to reading your newest book! Luv d.
My books are in the Top Sellers list on Amazon today – Volume 1 of the 4 Volume Secret Superfood Series – http://amzn.to/Qq9pcG
I have always wondered how the bestseller book thing worked. Thanks for collecting all that info in one post.
I have self published 2 books blindly. I just put them on amazon. Now i am definitely going to rethink my strategy for my next book that i am writing right now.
I never thought about this part of the writing biz. So much to think about when going into a new field. Did you have a mentor to learn this kind of stuff? or was it just hard research and trial-by-fire?
Great list bro..
First time visit this informational blog -
As part of dreamlining, my wife and I are going to buy a home in the sun (the Med) and aim to spend 1 month in 3 there. We each have our own professional services firms that are thriving.
As part of the set-up to achieve this goal, we're moving our data and clients etc into 'the Cloud' so, when away from home, we can work from our new base as and when (if) we choose to do so.
A very real issue is that staff are saying to us – 'great, everything is systemised and in the Cloud – so I don't need to come into the office anymore, right?'
The thing is – that as we look after a lot of money for clients (& other matters) and do see clients face to face when home, I think we do still need a physical office presence in the city. That office needs manned by trained people.
As we receive a lot of 'snail' mail, and the occasional drop in visitor, I need our main member of staff to 'man the ship' in my absence (scan in anything important, send out reports, be my right hand person etc) – when my wife and I are on our month long mini-retirements.
My issue is – how do I best tell/manage staff (who have never owned a business or put their neck/capital/life on the line and will never do so) that the new way of working is for ME – and that their (very well paid) role is back at base helping to facilitate MY new found freedom?
Any ideas?-
- Consider their point of view: maybe they are wondering if the can have a 4-hour workweek, too?
- Consider that money is not the most important motivator in work, otherwise, we wouldn't have teachers, social workers, etc.
- Consider that you need to make your staff feel appreciated and motivated to come into work, whether or not you are there.
- If you communicate to your staff that their hard work is to support your lifestyle, regardless of the fact that it supports them too, then you've lost them in mind, soul, and spirit.The problem you will face is the same problem offsite/offshore CEO's and business owners have faced for a very long time: resentment and/or envy at your success. You staff doesn't care or doesn't see the risks you've taken, regardless of how large or small the risks have been. It sounds like you are a little frustrated with this.
Communicate with them that simply, yes they need to be there, but don't be a jerk about it. Drop the negativity, and don't assume anything about their ability to stick their own necks out. Explain why they need to be there. Forgot how much you're paying them. Pay them in respect. They already know that you are the boss. If there is already resentment built up (on either side of the pond), don't expect to receive the best service while you are away. You need to build them up, encourage them, coach them, teach them, and lead them. It doesn't take a lot of time, but it pays huge dividends. Make them feel like they are part of the success of your company. And do it often.
My assistant would probably jump through fire if I asked her, and yet we have never met face to face. Can you say the same about your staff? Those are the type of people you want manning your ship.
Dear Tim,
When are you going to study the problem of hair loss in men and write a book about it?Half the world is waiting for this! If not you, then who?
How about you?
A lot of men will lose their hair forever, until I write something adequate. We need an experienced, nonobservant framework diversified expert Tim!
I can be a guinea pig only…
I absolutely love this website and the people that post to it.
I'm at the beginning of your book and love it. It's like I found exactly what I needed. I'm in Seattle and was wondering if you ever get out this way? If so let me know and I will take you for coffee.ha ha
Thanks Tim, would love to see more of the Amazon 100 list!
Which would you rather have, being at the top of the Amazon list or the NYT list?
I would love to see my book move on Amazon. Could you tell me how to get a niche of peopl?
Hi Tim! I have won the Xmas 2012 countdown and would like to claim my roundtrip =)
Hi, I'm a natural foods chef and teach classes on fermentation, and local/seasonal cooking and food in Dallas, TX. I'd like to share your "Inside the Microbiome: Balancing Bacteria for Fat Loss" article with people who take my classes – on pages 111 – 112 in The 4 Hour Body – with proper credit and can't really figure out who to contact to ask permission from the "Contact" page.
Help please.
Great post Tim. This was very informative for me since I am writing my own book. There is so much competition out there it is unreal. It is just like being on YouTube and trying to get seen. You can make a great video and then no one sees it. It it doesn't go viral then it doesn't have a chance. I'm just wondering how much paid reviews from bloggers comes into play when reaching the top. I read Laptop Millionaire and it seems like he paid a lot of bloggers to write positive comments about the book. I thought the book was very helpful and action oriented. It informed me about registrycompass .com which i didn't know about before but I have been able to snag up a lot of expired domains that already had traffic and back links. I think the 4 Hour Work Week and Laptop Millonaire are must read books for anyone serious about making money.
I read your book The 4 Hour Work Week and it's a great book. Gets tons of idea and exploring the Passive income opportunities around.
Indeed and agree that I shouldn't "sell" my life into a company and work most of my time in the office, thus I'm spending my other times in exploring the great opportunities behind this 4 hour work week lifestyle.
Anyway, yet to read a lot of these on the Top 100 list, and what's more important, learn the How behind their success.
A monthly Amazon Top 100? Oh yes I think so. Share please!
Love the Amazon 100. I just got a few new books to read! Please publish again in the future.
Please do publish future copies of the top 100 list. Your books rock and I have pre-ordered your next book. I can't wait until it's available!
BTW, as an old geezer, the diet in "4-Hour Body" doesn't work very well for me. Can you point me to anything you've written on how to adapt this for old metabolisms that cling stubbornly to a single weight? I'm not saying I haven't lost any weight, but my body seems to adapt after about 6 weeks (even with the crazy eating day factored in) and goes back up toward its starting weight. Sigh….
Susan – Limiting beliefs locked in your subconscious are controlling what you weigh. Once you have cleared them, then you can visualize how you would like to look – and get there
I would love to see more of these.
Hi Tim–
Nice post. I'm glad someone out there cares about best-seller list methodology.
Also, your idea with the AMZN 100 is spot on. We've been doing something similar but that blends all the major e-booksellers. It comes out every monday and also divides by price category. Here's the latest iteration: http://www.digitalbookworld.com/2012/no-easy-day-tops-e-book-best-seller-list-as-release-approaches/
Like you, we take methodology very seriously. We link it prominently on the site and we're constantly thinking about how we can tweak it to make the list better.
I'd love to chat with you about best-seller lists, etc, and get your thoughts on ours. It's made a pretty big splash in the publishing industry.
You have my email…feel free to reach out.

Editorial Director, Digital Book World -
Thanks for the post Tim. P.s. Lifestyle design (or redesign) rocks out! Nice Hurley too mate, what part of Ireland were ya hurling? I'm from Galway.
I would love to see this list published each month, and would even subscribe to a newsletter with this as its primary content. I've never understood why the big lists are so segmented. Simple is always better.
I will be checking out the "Four work week."
Great post but to keep up I'm going to need to go full blown Kindle or end up on an episode of hoarders!
Wow! the Amazon monthly 100! This is amazing! This sure is a hit thing for me my friends. I totally love the fresh and comprehensive information. This will absolutely make us in the loop of what book is worth spending our time and money. Thanks.
Just pre-ordered a copy through Amazon. Normally I hold off until the price comes down, but I think it's ridiculous to boycott a published book. I'm going to be going into B&N to "ask for a copy" on November 20 as well.
Adam! -
Never give in, it seems to be getting harder to compete with the big guns these days. I was thinking about writing a book but it seem a very uphill battle to get them published.
Tim: I remember reading this post a while back and kept it in mind when publishing my first book Body Energy – Unlock The Secrets of The Chinese Energy Clock (you might consider it a brochure compared to 4 hour body – only 58pgs). It is only published on kindle – paperback due out in 2 weeks but it hit #1 in Acupressure & Acupuncture for Kindle on 1/1/13. I think I remember you talking about picking your battles as far as category selection is concerned also. Thanks for the great info and would love to learn more about publishing books, especially on Amazon.
Great post! My hope is to make the best seller list as well!
Terrifying now i will by no means acquire an individual yet again
This is really helpful for affiliate marketer and buyer .Anyone can help to resd this article.
many many thanks

Newts and Other ReptilesPosted Saturday, January 28, 2012, at 1:04 PM
So how can folks who only tolerate "born again Christian" (BAC) people vote for a man just because he says he has been redeemed? How can they trust a man who has lied to at least two wives and maybe his third "Good Wife"?
Newt (the reptile) Gingrich was cheating on his cancer ridden first wife, while holding Bill Clinton's feet to the fire concerning Monica Lewinsky. Then he married his second wife, who we found out last week refused his suggestion of an open marriage with his mistress who is now his third wife. What a soap opera. The third Mrs. Gingrich better have gotten Newt to sign a pre-nup. Rick Santorum better watch it, too. There are many BACs that don't consider Roman Catholics to be Christian, and remember Mormons are a cult. So that leaves Ron Paul. He's a Methodist or a Baptist, so I guess that's OK. What I still can't understand is how BAC voters can consider an out and out hypocrite for the highest job in the land. Gingrich is a liar, an adulterer, a home wreaker, and a poor loser. He is arrogant and mean spirited. What kind of Godly attributes are these? I submit, that in the final analysis, Republican BACs will vote for almost anyone if they think they can beat President Obama. They will even vote for a slimy, cold blooded reptile named Newt for president. How desperate is that? Comments Showing most recent comments first [Show in chronological order instead] P.S. A newt is an amphibian, although I'm sure you will claim literary license. -- Posted by mrbliss on Thu, Feb 2, 2012, at 3:08 PM
Your second to last paragraph is also a fairly accurate description of Bill Clinton's peccadillos, as well, while he was in office. Odd, that I do not remember you calling him names when all that occurred during his presidency. Also, we are all supposed to be polite and respectful of others in our comments in this newspaper, yet the writers, be they writers of editorials or blogs are allowed to call others "slimy, cold-blooded reptiles." You are entitled to that opinion, but I would suggest that in order to live up to the standards this paper expects of its respondents, you should strive for a more respectful way of stating that you do not support Gingrich as a candidate. You're a Democrat and we get it, Enid, do you? I'm sure all hell would be raised if someone wrote in to the paper and called Obama what you called Gingrich. Be polite. -- Posted by mrbliss on Thu, Feb 2, 2012, at 3:05 PM

Suspects in Barona Casino theft face additional charges
Eighteen additional charges were filed Tuesday against two parolees suspected in a series of high-risk armed robberies throughout California last year, including one at Barona Casino and another at Fashion Valley jewelry store.
Robert Chavira, 40, and Ryan Alan McKnight, 34, were charged in November with one count each of robbery and arson. Charges of conspiracy, false imprisonment, robbery and assault with a deadly weapon were added on Tuesday.
Deputy District Attorney Rick Clabby told Judge David Szumowski last year that Chavira and McKnight were involved in five high-risk armed robberies in Costa Mesa, Mission Valley, San Jose, Palm Desert and at the Barona Casino.
On Aug. 2, the armed defendants used sledgehammers to steal hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of watches from a Costa Mesa store, Clabby alleged.
On Sept. 12, they allegedly drove down a walkway at the Fashion Valley mall and used sledgehammers to break display cases and steal high-end Rolex watches from the Ben Bridge store.
Chavira and McKnight are accused of using the same tactic to steal Rolex watches from a high-end jewelry store in San Jose on Oct. 15, Clabby told the judge.
Nine days later, the defendants—armed and wearing masks—allegedly stole more than $1 million in Rolex watches from a store in Palm Desert.
Clabby said the defendants changed their method of operation when they allegedly stole $60,000 to $70,000 from a glass case at the Barona Casino on Nov. 2.
The defendants set fire to a house next to the casino to draw firefighters and authorities away from the business, the prosecutor alleged.
Clabby alleged that Chavira and McKnight tied a chain to the back of a vehicle and ripped out a glass case containing the cash.
A video shows McKnight buying gas before the fire was set, the prosecutor said.
When the defendants were arrested a week later, gear used to commit robberies was found in their hotel room, Clabby said.
A third defendant, 22-year-old Adrian Ramos, was charged in connection with the robberies at Barona, Fashion Valley and San Jose, according to a criminal complaint.
A status conference is scheduled today, March 7, at the downtown courthouse.

Click on pictures for larger view.
This picture comes from a cemetery known for being haunted, it is River Styx Cemetery in Wadsworth, Ohio. We still have quite a bit of checking to do on the history of the cemetery. This picture was taken late in the afternoon around 4 p.m. using a 35 mm. camera with 400 speed film. This picture was shot just on the inside of a small cavern located under a hillside within the cemetery. There is a family plot atop of this cavern. We had pretty much shot the 24 exposures focusing around this cavern with 10-second intervals. Going back over the pictures, this one took us by surprise -- it looks to us like a large face. We have also caught orbs and mist at this location, but nothing as grand as this. The face was in only on one picture and all the others just showed an empty cavern.

Dozens of people came out Tuesday night to voice their concerns about a proposed sales tax increase.
The Madison City Council held a meeting at City Hall.
The proposal is to raise the sales tax from 8.5 percent to 9 percent. The extra money would pay for the city's capital improvement plan.
Some residents are undecided about the issue, and some are against it.
"It's ludicrous to even bring this to us when you are not even in the council six months. Think about your citizens," said Margi Daly.
"I think any tax increase should be put to the vote of the public on the ballot and whether I'm for it or against it is not my primary endeavor. Right now, I just want the public to be able to vote on it," David Hackney said.
If the tax is approved, Madison would join other cities like Florence and Decatur that have a 9 percent sales tax.

Police still on hunt for Manassas woman wanted in string of crimes
Saturday - 11/26/2011, 1:28pm  ET
WASHINGTON - Police are still on the hunt for a young Manassas woman who they say is responsible for a string of crimes.
Prince William County police officers say Stephanie Lynn Schwab, 26, has robbed two banks and carjacked a woman at Tysons Corner.
The most recent incident occurred Tuesday, when Schwab is suspected of robbing a BB&T Bank at 8432 Old Keene Mill Road in Fairfax County.
Police say Schwab entered the bank around 1 p.m., implied she had a weapon and demanded money from the teller. She left with an undisclosed amount of cash. No one was injured in the incident.
"Detectives are still investigating that case. They've distributed Stephanie Schwab's photograph and information throughout the county, and they are diligently tracking any leads and following that case up, working cooperatively with Prince William County police who also have a warrant for Stephanie Schwab for bank robbery in that jurisdiction as well," says Don Gotthardt with Fairfax County Police.
Schwab is also accused of tricking a 59-year-old woman into picking her up in the parking lot at Tysons Corner Center Nov. 19 by claiming she had run out of gas.
Once in the car, police say Schwab pulled a knife and told the driver to get out.
Prince William County Police say Schwab robbed the Virginia Commerce Bank on Balls Ford Road Nov. 18.
Gotthardt hopes tips from the public will help investigators find Schwab, or that all the publicity the case is getting will force Schwab to give herself up.
"We encourage Stephanie herself to do the right thing and turn herself in. It just makes everything a lot easier. We're not going to stop looking for her until we find her," Gotthardt says.
Channel 5 reports Schwab is a former member of the MS-13 gang, who recently testified in a high-profile murder case.
Schwab is described as 5 feet, 3 inches tall, weighing 130 pounds with green eyes and blond hair. She also has two facial piercings.
She wore a plaid coat, dark pants and boots during Tuesday's robbery.
The car from the Nov. 19 carjacking has not yet been recovered. It is described as a 2003 silver Acura with Virginia tag XEK8095.
Anyone with information is asked to contact Crime Solvers at 1-866-411-TIPS/8477 or contact Fairfax County Police at 703-691-2131.

Franklin Delano Roosevelt , often referred to by his initials FDR, was the thirty-second President of the United States. Elected to four terms in office, he served from 1933 to 1945 and is the only U.S. president to have served more than two terms. He was a central figure of the 20th century during a time of worldwide economic crisis and world war.
During the Great Depression of the 1930s, Roosevelt created the New Deal to provide relief for the unemployed, recovery of the economy, and reform of the economic and banking systems. Although recovery of the economy was incomplete until almost 1940, the programs he initiated such as the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation , Tennessee Valley Authority , and the United States Securities and Exchange Commission continue to have instrumental roles in the nation's commerce. One of his most important legacies is the Social Security system.

Out with the old, in with the new
Object Memories
maddog reflects on some of the many souvenirs from his long career in computing.
I started writing this article as the last column of 2012, and you will be reading it as one of the first articles of 2013, but in reality, I started writing this story in 1969. As Rob Hunter of the Grateful Dead once wrote in the song "Truckin": "Lately it occurs to me, What a long, strange trip it's been."
I am a person who has a hard time throwing things out that should have been thrown out long ago. On the other hand, as I face the fact that I am 62 years old and, sooner or later, these things will be of absolutely no use to me, I look at these objects and see an opportunity to remember the days when they were new, as well as remember the people who created them and what their contributions meant to "computing." The memories are sometimes bittersweet.

Editor's Review
DT Utilities PC Backup Pro Suite 10 Plus Carbonite Online Backup is an all-inclusive Windows data backup software that simplifies and enhances the entire backup process. Users have the ability to backup any file type, and even the entire operating system if they'd like.
The software is compatible with virtually any type of removable and network storage devices, including USB flash drives, Blu-Ray discs, external hard drives, local and network drives, CDs and DVDs and many other data storage devices.
With DT Utilities Backup Pro Suite 10, backing up an operating system has never been easier, as the entire process can be fully automated and scheduled based on user preferences. Utilizing the Scheduler feature, the user can execute backups automatically at the desired frequency. This removes the risk of forgetting to backup before a system crash or other forms of data loss occur.
In the event of a system crash, the entire operating system can quickly be restored, using an Image Backup of the hard drive that can be created with the click of a mouse. Rather than backing up the entire hard drive, users can also choose to backup only certain file types using the Smart Select feature. For example, a backup can be created containing only picture files. This feature is especially useful when one is trying to extract all media or documents from the operating system in an organized fashion.
Although there are plenty of advanced features for more demanding users, PC Backup Pro Suite is also an ideal solution for novice users, as it presents a user-friendly instructional wizard with every function of the software. Even with all of the educational tools and wizards, it would still be possible to create a backup that contains a virus if it were not for the integrated virus scanner which scans all backups for viruses before exporting to the storage device.
The software is segregated into distinct modes; advanced and basic. The basic mode is perfect for novices as it includes all of the functions that the average user would need. The advanced mode is where the software carries it's value, offering a plethora of customizable and useful features. Although the features in advanced mode are a bit difficult to learn, virtually anyone can do so using the included help documentation.
This suite also includes a special bonus; 1 year free unlimited membership at Carbonite online backup.
This feature is perhaps the most enticing, as it removes the need for an external storage device. With Carbonite online backup users can host their backups online in a remote location, thereby preventing backup misplacement or wasted removable storage devices.
PC Backup Pro: What We Liked
The included Carbonite membership expedites the backup process, as a removable storage device is no longer necessary.
Instructional wizards simplify the backup process.
Virtually any kind of storage device is supported. Users can even host their backups online after they've saved them to an internal network location.
Simple Scheduler feature makes the PC backup process a fully automated and hassle-free maintenance task.
The entire operating system can be saved with a single click using the Disaster Recovery feature.
PC Backup Pro: What We Didn't Like
The advanced mode carries a slight learning curve, even with the use of the helpful wizards.
DT Utilities Support
Support for all of DT Utilities software can be found at the DT utilities online support center. There users can find a plethora of helpful resources including a helpful knowledge base, troubleshooting wizards, a downloads section, and even a news section. Users can also submit a customer support ticket to initiate contact with the online support staff.

Efficient Backup and Quick Restoration in one Package

Published 11:48am Thursday, December 27, 2012Local stores are offering sales on things Santa might not have brought.
"I think it's very important to shop local," said Amy Hill at Cloud Nine. "We want people to continue to shop locally after Christmas just like they did before. We want to keep tax dollars local."
Hill said Cloud Nine is having a large after Christmas sale to offer residents an incentive to shop locally.
"All of our Christmas items are 50 percent off," Hill said.
Hill said everyday items are also on sale at Cloud Nine.
"Our apparel and boots are 25-50 percent off," Hill said. "Our sale alley is now 75 percent off, and our food items are buy one get one free."

Little Black Dress will also be offering major markdowns on winter apparel and 25 percent off the lowest price on sale items.
"We have to make room for our spring styles so winter merchandise must go," said Little Black Dress owner Stephanie Smith.
Sale items are also available in Dadeville.
"We're having 40 percent on Christmas and 20 percent on most of the store," said Sharyn Marshall of Plantation House in Dadeville.
Marshall said they have never done an after Christmas sale before.

Mama's Pineapple Filling
Mama's Pineapple Filling
Posted at http://deepsouthdish.com/
1/2 cup of sugar
4 egg yolks
1/2 of a large can of Dole crushed pineapple
Juice of 1 lemon
1-1/2 tablespoons Land O' Lakes butter
1 tablespoons flour
Combine all ingredients and cook over medium heat until well thickened. Cool. This will thicken some when cool. Makes about 1 cup of filling; use approximately ½ cup per layer.
8 comments:
Just made this... It came out fabulous! I put it between layers of orange cake. Can't wait to bring it to my event tomorrow. Thanks for the recipe!
ReplyDeleteHi Mary! I just made your pineapple cake filling. Wow is it good! Cake filling just doesn't get any better than this! The recipe made 1 and 1/2 cups for me using half of a 20 oz can of pineapple. (My eggs might have been a little bigger...) Thanks for sharing this yummy recipe. I look forward to coming back and trying more of your recipes.
ReplyDelete- AnonymousDecember 27, 2013 at 1:28 PM
I am slightly allergic to eggs. Can I leave them out?
ReplyDeleteRepliesYou can! You'll lose some of the richness that you'd get from the egg yolks though and you'd have to use a binder like cornstarch for thickening since the eggs act as a thickening agent also. Just not sure how much. I'd start with about 1-1/2 tablespoons and increase from there if needed.

Texas lawyer pleads not guilty to aiding cartel
Ken Walters, a spokesman for the Pittsburgh university, confirmed that Delgado was a trustee from 2006 through mid-2012.
"I wish it was someone else," he said.
Walters said Delgado provided the biographical information that had been on the school's website, including his claimed links to Mexico's president-elect. He declined comment on whether the endowment funding could be linked to drug money or if they have looked into the claims made by Delgado in his biography.
"Right now we have no knowledge of the matter and are reserving comment until the authorities investigate," Walters said.
Associated Press writers Kevin Begos in Pittsburgh and Adriana Gomez Licon in Mexico City contributed to this report.

Comment by Darcy after the article sums it up nicely:"Social conservatives are the moral and religious people who present the only obstacle to the Constitution's complete dismantling by radical egalitarians. And for that we are rebuked, chastised, and shunned. In our place, libertarians, leftists, right-liberals, and you name it, have determined that a new order must emerge, an order that worships the individual and his desires above everything.And we're supposed to mind our own business? Really? You social progressives are the interlopers, not us. And what I'll never understand is how anyone can make a rational argument for homosexual unions when to do so flies in the face of Darwin's survival of the fittest. Such unions cannot even make it to the next generation.It would seem that we would be derelict to adopt your MYOB advice." Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.

Nominate for a must read. I think this conversation is going to be very interesting, here on L.com.I abhor abortion. Our govt is beyond hypocritical when it comes to laws protecting the eggs of endangered birds, say, and protecting the life of the unborn human. But I also believe that the abortion argument in and of itself has become incredibly polarizing, to the point that those who support abortion rights do so purely on the legal points. They are so caught up in the vitriol that they don´t see the real issue.I have taken the position when asked that I will not primarily argue the religious side anymore, or whether it should be legal. I state that I am pro life. I argue the hypocrisy of protecting one unborn species over another. I ask why we protect those birds´ eggs? It´s just an egg, why protect it. It inevitably leads to a deeper discussion. I´ve stopped worrying about whether I´ve convinced them. Instead, I want to make them think. Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.
He wants social conservatives to leave the ´divisive´ issues at home. You know what? We´re not the ones bringing the issue up! Did he not see the abortionpalooza that was the DNC convention? It was all abortion, all the time. Libs told us for years to get out of the bedrooms of homosexuals, but the homosexuals won´t leave us alone. Now I have to be tolerant of everything they do.Lib journOlists are the ones who only ask conservative candidates about abortion. When did a lib journOlister ask Obama about voting 4 times in favor of infanticide?Simon is naive if he thinks this will go away if we just sit down and shut up.

I really couldn´t care less about the gay marriage issue except for one point. With gay marriage legal, we will be prohibited from telling children that gay marriage and traditional marriage are not equivalent.The PC police will be out in full force ready to penalize teachers, doctors, coaches, and any other community members that dare to differentiate the two.

Piffle. The majority want free stuff! Abortions or gay marriage add up to a pinch of sour owl doo doo in comparison. Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.
I agree with the author´s principal argument that moral issues should be outside the purview of government. The whole ´Pro-life/Pro-choice´ issue is a glaring example. ´Pro-choice´ isn´t about ´choice´ at all; it´s about abortion on demand, without remorse. But ´Pro-life´ isn´t about ´life´ either; it´s about government interference in personal moral issues. Forcing someone by the force of law to make the ´right´ choice does nothing to uplift their morality.When I was growing up, it was considered to be a shame to talk about abortion, a shame to be pregnant out of wedlock, a shame to be ´knocked up´, a shame to be shacked up. It was a moral horror to be involved with homosexuality in any way. Perhaps we need to make our arguments in the realm of religion and morality, rather than by governmental edict.

But don´t you see? We Republicans have earned the frowning face of disapproval the Dems and media successfully charged to us. We don´t like Hispanics(legal or not), gays, divorce, even minimal abortion laws, anyone collecting food stamps or borrowing money for student loans, the long-term unemployed and on and on and on.We must change the way we are perceived by the average voter. There are lots of people who have to (or believe they might in the future) get some help from somebody (feds, state, parents) at some time in their lives. We frighten those people by giving them the impression we would take all that help away. And we anger them by patronizing them.Why can´t we stick to the original intent of the tea party movement, reducing the size of government and national fiscal responsibility?

All laws reflect morality, the question is who´s? The laws of a society are both a reflection of the people, and standards to guide their actions. Unfortunately, many people today believe, "If its legal, it must be moral."Without the moral underpinning of a religious society we have devolved into the situation we now face. How long will individual liberties last without acknowledging that it is God who bestows those rights? How long can a just nation survive without the most basic of God´s precepts being missing from its canon of law?As to the abortion issue: Today the majority in the Pro-Life movement understands that Roe v. Wade will never be overturned, nor do they advocate such a position. That is only how the Left defines us. We accept that legal abortion is the law of the land, but we do not accept that our tax dollars should fund murder. We also advocate and support the life choice for pregnant women through over 3,000 Life clinics in the country. We pray and work that, although abortion remains "legal", it is no longer the default "choice" of the mothers AND the fathers. We can end abortion in America without making it illegal.

Darwinian success is boiled down to one simple concept... passing on your own genes to as many offspring as possible. With that in mind, I say, go ahead libs, kill your children. Hook up with your own gender so that you´ll never procreate.Maybe there ARE too many people, so whose children should we allow to be eliminated or prevented? People who guide, nurture, and protect their kids, or child-abandoning, abusive, egoistic parasites who have no sense of responsibility? Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.
Abortion and gay marriage not not just religious issues. If they were, wouldn´t gay marriage be legal in countries like China? And secular Europe has far more restrictive abortion laws than the US. Atheists and non-religious people claim to still have moral principles. What is the moral principle that would allow someone to abort a fetus because it will have Down Syndrome or some other genetic defect? Or because it is female? How is it moral to have an abortion at 8.5 months into the pregnancy when it is immoral--and criminal--to kill at baby at the moment of birth? And who is imposing their views on whom? Roe v. Wade makes it impossible for the moral issues even to be debated, since state are forbidden from restricting abortions. Click Here if you Like this Comment 2 persons like this.
