Free book promotion #2

So what is going to happen is another free book promotion and it will start tomorrow at 7am GMT/ 9am GMT+2/ 12am PST 

The book will be free for 12 hours and another post will be pushed as soon as the promotion starts, I will tweet it out during the day. 

I am doing this because I rely on word of mouth, I want people that like to book to tell other people just why they like it and with some luck those people will then buy it and like it too and then share it on. 

I’m a published author!

Well it depends on how you look at it, for some people I am not a published author because my book is not available in hardcopy, for others just the fact that I currently have a book to sell on Amazon makes me a published author. I am in the set of mind that since technology now enables us to get digital copies of books on our devices and carry them around I am in a way a published author.

Now to get to the point. I have a book available for the Kindle! That is pretty awesome by itself but the fact that it is my first book makes it even more awesome for me. And before the book was even out I was asked by people who knew I was doing this “Why are you only doing it on the Kindle, what about iBooks?”. Well my answer was that for now I’m making it kindle exclusive because it is the easiest thing to do. 

Let me elaborate. First, to publish on the Kindle you only need a book you wrote or hold the rights to. Second, they give you instructions so simple a 10 year old could follow on how to format the book so that it looks best. Third, by publishing on the Kindle the book is available on so many other devices via the Kindle app (iOS, OS X, Windows…) and last, I was able to include the book in their landing program and for every copy that is borrowed I get a little bit back. 

Now I’m not saying the book will be Kindle exclusive for ever, not even close. While the book will be Kindle exclusive for 90days, after those 90days are over the book will be released on iBooks and possibly even as a podcast book. I just wanted the book out in the world and available to people as soon as possible and releasing it to the Kindle first allowed me just that. And now I have 90days to make it in to an iBook.

Free book promotion

If you follow me on twitter you probably saw my rant yesterday about how self-publishing on Amazon isn’t as glamorous as it seems to be and my opinion hasn’t changed yet but there is one neat feature.

And that feature is free promotions and what it does it allows you to get Amazon to promote your book for 5 days but it does not have to be 5 days in a row. The book is free for download on those days.

So what I did is made the book free to download for a day this week and that day is today, actually when this post came out the book went free for the next 12 hours. So what are you waiting for? Go to the link relevant to you and get the book NOW…..FOR FREE!

(P.S. if for some reason it’s not free yet go to my twitter account (@zomby6) and I’ll make sure to tweet out when it is free)
