Persistence Pays in Getting Great Publicity
It took Ernie Zelinski 10 years, but he finally got the AARP (American Association of Retired People) to mention How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free in their September 2014 issue of The AARP Bulletin.
What made this difficult and special in the end is that the AARP is a competitor of his since they publish many retirement books in conjunction with well-known publishers such as Wiley.

This mention in The AARP Bulletin generated between 10,000 and 15,000 extra sales of the print edition of How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free with an extra profit of between $50,000 and $75,000 to Ernie.
