Get Thousands of Free Downloads for your Book

It's a PAY TO PLAY world we live in now.

Running free book promotions has changed

Assuming you have a decent book cover and descriptiont, you are now ready to get hundreds if not thousands of downloads of your book.
But how? Can this be done so easily? Well, yes, but clearly if you have a poor cover and book description, the results will vary, but by using the following tip, you can reach many new readers, and perhaps even reach the free Best Seller lists on Amazon. Yes, it is possible!

The trick here is in knowing the best sites to advertise your free book AND TO PAY these promotion sites. Yes, the days of submitting your book for free to these sites has gone.You can still do so, but the results will be poor. We truly live now in a world of PAY TO PLAY.

So these are the steps to take:

First of all, find the right book promotion sites to offer your book for free. Some authors will spend hours trawling the Internet to find these sites. The problem here is that it’s a jungle out there so a Google search or Facebook search will reveal a vast myriad of different sites to try out, some of which are more than a little dubious, making ridiculous claims of being able to reach hundred of thousands of readers.
So STOP RIGHT THERE!
This is the wrong way to do it! In fact, this method might well get you on the list of spammers who will fill your email inbox with hundreds of unsolicited offers every day. So take care.

Avoid using special submission tools to help submit your free book

There are a number of paid tools to submit your book to 20+ free book promotion sites - but they no longer deliver good results.
Examples include:
Bookmarketingtools.com, KDROI

If you prefer to spend nothing, then here is a compiled list for you

If you prefer to manually select the websites where your free book will be promoted, you can use this list from Kindlepreneur (but as explained earlier, don't expect great results, and not all free promotion sites are built equally): Kindlepreneur's Top Free Websites

The good news is that we've done the hard work for you and tested each of the major (but not all) best book promotion sites when offering your book for free. We tested this with over 50+ authors and the benchmar results were clear and fully described in my free book The Unofficial Authors Guide to Selling on Amazon(click on link to view) of which one sample is provided here:

BENCHMARK RESULTS FROM AUTHOR 1: these are sales results for my free book promotion using paid ads on these sites:
"6/4 had 425 downloads: Fussy Librarian; Just Kindle Books; Book Reader Magazine
6/5 had 189 downloads: Book Runes;
6/6 had 508 downloads: Freebooksy;
6/67 had 155 downloads: JKB; BRM
Total advertising for this promo: $115 for 1,277 downloads comes to 9 cents per unit.

Using book submission tools:
I paid $29 to Book Marketing Tools to advertise on multiple sites, but on the giveaway day, I couldn't find my book advertised on most of them. Many hadn't updated their lists for days".

All other tests showed similar results: Paid ads work; using Book Submission Tools no longer really work.
