Amazon #1 Bestseller?

Did you know there is a specific formula for launching on Amazon and making it to #1?
These are a few of the steps:
Choose a category in Amazon
Setup your book page in Amazon - submit your book
Create a webpage
Ask for Joint Venture partners and affiliates who will email to their list and help you promote
Give away lots of bonus gifts.
Promote like crazy during a 12 hour period on social network sites using the bonus gifts as the benefit.


This is a proven system - that will probably get you to #1, but only in a specific category.
So, here is a place for discussion on this forum: and I welcome more!

If you sell 200 books and it gets you to #1 in a specific category, is it worth it?
