IME, the truth is, while other self-pubbed authors are willing to discuss marketing in generalized terms, or answer specific questions about which button to click, when creating an AMS ad, for this or that...those who find profitable marketing methods tend to keep those to themselves.
Every profitable or advantageous marketing trick, method, etc., over the last 9 years that self-pubs spoke about was subsequently tsunami'ed, by other self-pubbed authors. From early tricks to the later...I just think that finding
any author that will openly and fully talk about what s/he does, to successfully market, is a Grail Quest--and just as likely to be found.
Each determined, professional author-publisher has to do his/her own testing, marketing, A/B tests on AMS, etc., and find the things that work best for him/her. Really...there's just no one-size-fits-all marketing, in any event--what works for romance writers definitely doesn't work for Men's adventure writers, etc.,
anyway.
