Put Your Title to the Test

The folks at Lulu kidnapped some scientists and forced them to quit working on actual things and figure out the probability of popularity of books based on their titles. Plug in your book title and see if you have a high chance of scoring a bestseller (unfortunately you can’t plug in the entire text of your book and have that scored.) NB: A Million Little Pieces only has a 63.7% chance of being a bestseller. I guess there’s no way to plug in the Oprah factor.

Create a social media strategy, launch your campaign, and track the results in our Social Media Marketing Boot Camp starting February 16. The online event and workshop will feature speakers including The Onion's Baratunde Thurston (left), Facebook's Morin Oluwole, and bitly's Tim Devane. Register now.
