How is Ann Coulter able to sell any books?

Question

I mean, she's not funny, she's downright nasty, she plagiarizes, distorts facts, and--enough is enough already--she is NOT attractive.

Had to throw in one dig at the right-wing beast.

Anyway, answers?

Answer 1

She knows a lot of good marketing tricks and uses them to her advantage, doesn't matter who she steps on in the process. For example, she tried to make an agruement that the 9/11 widows used their husbands deaths to voice their political opinions. While this might have some truth to it, that alone wouldn't make a best seller. So she says something like "they enjoyed their husbands deaths", knowing full well a lot of people would have a problem with this. They come out to protest, and the book pretty much promotes itself.

Most people that buy her books aren't looking for insight. They just want to read something from an educated author that shares their opinions. They love it when this mostly involves firing 3rd grade level insults at the other side; it's cheap entertainment and it makes them feel superior. And as long as she sticks to her guns no matter what happens, no matter how wrong she is, she'll continue to sell books.

And i agree with you about Ann not being attractive. Another trick she uses is growing her hair that long, and since she's blonde, most people would assume she's attractive and listen to her.

Answer 2

I am not a fan of Ms. Coulter. But, even though her writing is sometimes over the top and not true, she is an excellent writer, often funny, and handles opponents intellectually. She also understands what it takes to market her ideas and books. Viewers who watch her on political talk shows like the fact that she is does not back down and is willing to defend her opinion no matter what. Often successfully. By the way, some of the answers to your question read like quotes from an Ann Coulter book.

Answer 3

um...her name?

It does have a very nice ring to it. "Ann Coulter...Ann Coulter...."

Nice three-syllabled name. Mine, no, mine has, let's see, 1, 2,3,4,5,6...6 whole syllables! way too many. No, three is just the right number. And it sounds nice and upper-crust, the name Ann. You could just see a king's neice named ann strolling around her rose garden.

And then there's the name Coulter, which of course sounds very properly british. i don't think you could get me to sell that book, what with my 3 syllabled italian last name. So really it's all her name. Have you noticed how author's names sound nice? Like...like Stephen King, for instance. i mean, it's quick, it's easy to say, it's a common name. Who wouldn't want to read a book whose author's name has three syllables and sounds British?

Answer 4

A number of people read a book, and its not
necessary they know the Author. The topic
or story line is what they are interested in.
Everyone has their own perference when it
comes to reading a novel even if it is Ann
Coulter.

Answer 5

She stands on street corners shouting 'Who'll buy me lovely books? Two for a dollar, three for a pound! I need to feed my starving ego! Cough! Cough!' for hours on end until she returns home and cries under her Spongebob Squarepants duvet.

Answer 6

She sold her soul to Satan in exchange for a place on the NYT Bestseller list

Answer 7

And yet Bill Marr loves her as his guest.

Could it be that she sells them on every spin doctor show in America.

I think that is it.

And she is better looking than Hillary.

Answer 8

People must by her books to use as chew toys for their dogs.
Her ignorance is laughable.

Answer 9

SHE FEEDS THE NEOCON WHAT IT WANTS....
