OPERATION iSCAM: our attempt scam the Scam School book to the #1 spot across all e-book platforms
How it works: Digital sales rankings are determined by the current number of incoming purchases. If only a few thousand people click "buy" during the day of release, Amazon, iTunes, and Barnes & Noble will assume the book has become wildly popular and put it at the #1 spot in their rankings.
So what do I do?: On release day, March 14, head on over to iTunes, Amazon, or Barnes & Noble and search "Scam School Book 1," then purchase the book – it's as easy as that! For launch day we're reducing the price from $9.99 down to a measly $4.99!
About the Book: Compiled from material spanning over 200 episodes, the Scam School ebooks are packed with extras, including pro-tips from Brian, embedded video demonstrations and audio commentary for every trick. The award-winning Scam School Book 1 is available March 14 (Pi day!) on the eReader of your choice. Below are some of the features you can look forward to in the release:
Hear behind-the-scenes secrets about Scam School episodes and listen to bonus techniques with Brian's exclusive audio commentary for every trick featured in the book. Embedded video demonstrations provide an easy way to understand some of the visual aspects of your favorite scams.
Ever need to review a trick at the bar before pulling it off in front of an audience? Having the Scam School book on-the-go allows you to easily review tricks, techniques, and presentation ideas in secret before amazing your friends.
Each trick has a custom header designed to summarize the type (or class) of trick, the factors involved, and what objects are required to pull it off. Each section that corresponds to a Scam School episode links directly to that episode.
Important Tips:
- Follow @shwood on Twitter for up-to-the-minute updates
- Feel guilty getting the book so cheap? Just purchase on more than one platform, maybe even all 3! Every sale counts!
- Purchasing extra books as gifts? Make sure to check out in a separate order. Two orders of one book is much, much better for the sales rankings than one order of two books.
- Tell your friends! It'll be a blast to participate in scamming our way to #1 on three popular store charts!
- If purchasing on iTunes, remember to download the iBooks app beforehand.
