I wish I had read how to promote my e-book BEFORE I published it! First, if you use KDP you have 5 FREE days to promote your book. Sounds great? Well WAIT! First you need to tell people about your book, then get them to download it!
Choose your 5 days wisely. I wish I had!
AT LEAST two weeks prior to your FREE days, e-mail sites announcing it. This can take a lot of time. Here are some links to sites which can help you.
