Tips for Scheduling an Ebook Promotion

Here are some additional tips to help make your ebook promotion a success.

Discount your book at the right price

Many failed book promotions were unsuccessful because they weren’t priced appropriately. It’s usually not enough to just take $1 or $2 off the price of your ebook if your book is priced at $9.99 or above.

We always offer eBook promotions at $0.99 or free, and we recommend you do the same unless there’s a very good reason not to. Different eBook promotion sites have different pricing requirements, so make sure you read the details for each book promotion service you intend to use during your marketing efforts.

Offering your book for free for a limited time can ultimately help you to sell more books by helping you get reviews and exposure.

Choose your Amazon categories wisely

Because over 90% of eBooks are sold on Amazon.com on the Kindle platform, the categories you select for your book on Amazon could make a huge difference in your sales.

Have you chosen the right categories for your ebook? Choosing the most appropriate Amazon categories for your ebook can play a big role in your success.

You can check out our lists of the most competitive and least competitive Amazon categories and we highly recommend you read our guide on How to Become a #1 Bestselling Author on Amazon which will help you select the best categories for your book.

Get more book reviews

As we noted in our guidelines above, C.K. Patrick Publishing Group will only promote a book in our newsletter if it has at least 10 reviews and an average of 4.0 stars. That’s because readers demand high-quality books, and many readers won’t consider buying a book with poor reviews or less than 10 reviews.

Most sites feature similar rules, which means you’ll need to use your network to reach out to members of your target audience, offer some free books, and kindly ask for book reviews as soon as your book is released (if not sooner).

Schedule your promotion at least 1-2 months in advance

This is not a requirement for C.K. Patrick Publishing Group, but it’s a very good idea to plan your eBook promotions at least 30-60 days in advance. That’s because some book promotion services may get fully booked if you wait too long to notify them about your promotion.

The more time you give the book promotion sites to feature your book, the more likely they’ll be able to promote your book during the day(s) you need your book promoted.

How This Book Promotion Service Works

We’ve built an email list of 20,000+ readers from our blogging, publishing, and other marketing efforts. These readers are looking for great book deals in different genres including General Nonfiction, Self-Help and How-To, General Fiction, Romance, Thriller, Fantasy, Mystery, Science Fiction, and Teen and Young Readers. Every week, we send our readers for each list at least one email letting them know about some of the most promising eBooks on sale for $0.99 or less.

When our editors accept your application for this book promotion service, we’ll include your book in one of these emails to our list of readers that are interested in your genre, helping you get more sales and reach more readers.
