How to promote eBooks after you enroll them with KDP select

Your free days are limited to only 5 so you better use them smartly. I’m going to suggest you couple of ways you can use to maximize the number of downloads and reviews you can get in those 5 days.

Social Media

Don’t be a fool and think Social media is not for self-publishers. World changed. Everyone is on social media nowadays. That’s why you need to be there too. People are delighted when they get a free eBook so why not spice things a little bit. Invest $50-$100 on Facebook ads promotion and you can get thousands of downloads in one day. It will payoff later, trust me.

Send out an email

While this usually requires having an email list (which requires running a website), you can also buy an email list if you are new to Internet Marketing world. Even if I usually don’t recommend this because there is extremely low number of honest sellers out there, I still think you can find someone with a huge and real email list that will help you speed things a little bit.

Ask for reviews

There is no reason why you can’t ask your friend to leave a review on your eBook. Amazon has no rules against that so feel free to ask your friends and family to help you.

If you follow these steps, you will be able to publish ton of eBooks on Amazon Kindle platform for KDP select program and earn some real money

Enjoy!

To your success!
