These book promotion websites will greatly help your Kindle ebook sales if you learn to do things right. We have used some of these book promotion websites to promote some of our books on Amazon.
I must confess we have not used them of late the way we did in the past. This should not stop you from exploring some of them to promote your Amazon Kindle eBooks.
What are book promotion websites?
Book promotion websites are ebook marketing and promotional platforms where authors and publishers can get their published ebooks promoted to the right audience.
The promotional services are not limited to only published ebooks on Amazon. You can also use some of these book promotion websites to promote your published ebooks on Apple, Barnes, and Noble, Kobo, etc.
Book promotion websites: Are they legit?
Book promotion websites are legit. Well, I believe I can stand solidly behind this direct answer.
Agreed, there are fakes, and there are some who will not deliver what they promised to deliver. But this does not rule out the fact that there are a lot of them that are legit and who deliver their promises.
So the onus lies on you to carry out your due diligence before you do business with any of them. You must also do this for any website link we are going to show in this post.
How do book promotion websites operate?
Book promotion websites operate in the following ways:
- They have a segmented email list to which they promote your books.
- They also promote your ebooks on their websites whether on the home page or wherever they believe you will get good traffic to your ebooks.
Are they free services?
Most of these book promotion websites have both free and paid services. Some of them will ask you to submit your ebook and its details for free promotion but will add a caveat for you to speed up the chance of your ebook being accepted and promoted by paying a certain amount of money.
From experience, some of the free promotions we submitted don’t get accepted by these websites. But there are some exceptions like Awesome Gang and Ebook Angel. You will find some of the other links in the list in this post.
We also find the FreeBooksy and BargainBooksy services from Written Word Media very useful and valuable. Bookbub is also another service that will give you value for money. Though your ebook has to pass through a rigorous check to get accepted.
Some book promotion websites will reuiyyour ebook on Amazon to have a certain number of reviews before it can qualify to be promoted on their platforms. I believe they put this requirement in place to ensure they only promote quality ebooks to their highly esteemed subscribers.
