Whilst most of our students are fiction authors, we have a significant number of non-fiction authors as well. There's absolutely no reason why the principles laid out in the course can't be applied to the marketing of non-fiction books. You'll find some of our successful non-fiction students talking about the course here:
You might also be interested in hearing the stories of other members of our community, Joseph Alexander and Marc Reklau who have been extremely successful as non-fiction authors. Here are links to their Self Publishing Show podcast episodes:

I came to this page to see what you say to non-fiction writers. The second link (SPF #44 About Joseph Alexander) is broken, and I got a 404 page error.
The first link went to a page of generic testimonials which were marked for different genres (Fantasy, Science Fiction, etc.) and there were a few marked "Non-Fiction." I listened to each one of those. All nicely done. I believe the people who were talking. But their comments were so generic as to offer me no help at all. I wanted to hear what specific kind of non-fiction they are writing about so I could draw parallels to my own field. Alas, none of that is possible. Hearing over and over again, "This is life changing" is nice--I'm not complaining about that. But frankly, you could have deleted all the genre's from the descriptions and it would be just as informative about non-fiction (viz., not).
This page does not address the question. I'm NOT trying to be negative; I am trying to find answers to my question. This did not help.
