Yes.
Are there books that you do not accept?
We do not promote books with pejorative racial terms in the book title or book description. Additionally, we do not accept books that promote or advocate for racial hate.
What frequency do you recommend between listings for your paid book promotions?
If you have already run a promotion for a particular book, and you want to run another promotion for that book priced at $0.99 or higher, we recommend spacing out the promotions by several weeks. If you plan to price the book at free for the second promotion, then one week of spacing is sufficient.
Can I promote a book that is on pre-order?
Yes.
Can I promote a novella, short book or short story?
Yes, but we ask that in your description you call out that the book is novella or that you call out the page count. We want readers to understand what they are getting.
Can I submit my promotion now, even though I don’t have an Amazon ASIN?
If your book is not yet live on Amazon (i.e. you don’t have an ASIN yet for it), we have two options for you. 1) you can email us at “justkindlebooks (AT) gmail.com” and reserve a promotion date, then submit your promotion for that date once your book is live. Or 2) you can submit a promotion now and in the box where we ask for your ASIN, just write “coming soon.” We will send you an email about your promotion, simply reply to it once your ASIN is available.
What are the benefits of running a book promotion?
There are three main benefits of running a book promotion:
- Increase your sales: Book promotions help you reach your greatest potential audience to generate more sales.
- Gain more book reviews: Typically, 1 in 100 people who buy your book will leave a review. The more sales you make the more reviews you will get. When it comes to books priced at free, only 1 in 500 people who download your book will leave a review. You can help increase your number of reviews by putting a short message at the end of your book asking readers to review the book. Reviews carry trust and authenticity with potential new readers, and they help sell your book.
- Secure sales for future books: The more readers you get for your current book, the more you will have going into your next book. Running a book promotion now helps to build your fan base for the long term.
How can I prepare for my book promotion?
Here are the best things you can do to get your book ready to promote (listed in order of importance):
1) Make sure your cover reflects the genre of your book. If a reader can’t identify the genre of your book by glancing at your cover, you are likely losing sales that you could have captured.
2) Make sure your Amazon book description is well written. “Well written” is rather subjective, but here’s are some questions to ask about your current book description: Does it seduce the reader into wanting to know more about your book? Can readers tell what genre the book is from your book description? Can someone read the entire description in under 60 seconds? How does your book description compare against the book descriptions of the current best sellers in your genre? It’s worth looking at the book descriptions of some best sellers that are like your book.
3) Reviews, reviews, reviews. Real reviews from real readers help customers make purchases. It’s better to launch your book promotion after your book has some reviews. Our advice: never buy reviews. Don’t buy them even if the company selling them offers to buy your book, read it, and post the review on Amazon with Amazon’s verified purchase badge. We can spot fake/paid reviews, and we think readers can tell the difference between fake and real reviews.
4) Run multiple promotions at the same time. Running a Countdown Deal or setting your book price to free (both are only available if your book is enrolled in KDP Select) can lead to more sales. But authors can amplify theses sales by pairing a price discount or free sale with not one, but several, or many promotions that all launch on the same day. Why run all the promotions on the same day? If you can crack the top 100 on Kindle, your book has a better chance of organic discovery. We’re not the only quality book promotion site. There’s bookbub, pixelofink, bookgorilla, and many others. Here’s a fairly comprehensive list of free and paid book promotion sites: Big List of Book Promo Sites.
As an author what are the benefits of pricing my book at free and then promoting it?
Great question, there are six benefits of pricing your book for free, those include:
- More reviews: By our calculations you can expect to get 2 to 3 reviews per 1,000 free books downloaded. As all authors know, reviews are not easy to get. While you might lose revenue while your book is priced at free, you will gain reviews. Those reviews will likely come in over a month-long period after the book was made free.
- KU Reads: Even though your book is free to download, many readers are members of Kindle Unlimited and out of habit they will click the “Read now” button instead of the “Buy now” button. If your book is enrolled in KU, you can expect to see a big upswing in KU page reads. Authors with books enrolled in KU get paid roughly a half of a cent for each page read or $1 for each 200-page-reads. While your book is free on Amazon, you will see an uptick in page reads. The increase might be in the range of 2 to 20 times your normal daily rate, depending on how many copies you “sell” each day while the book is free.
- Amazon followers: Amazon encourages readers to follow authors. On your author page there’s a “follow” button, when a reader clicks on that, they are effectively signing up for automated emails and notifications about your upcoming books. These emails are highly effective sales drivers for your future books. And occasionally, Amazon allows authors to send a note to all of their followers. When readers buy your book on a mobile device, they are prompted to follow you immediately after taping the “Buy now for Free” button. How will you know how many followers you got during the time that your book is free? Unfortunately, you won’t. Amazon does not share that information with authors.
- Back Matter Actions: Readers who finish your book and enjoyed it are likely to take actions that you recommend in your back matter. For example, in your back matter you might ask readers to review your book, join your mailing list, follow you on social media, etc. See more on back matter actions here.
- Get readers interested in your series: Giving away the first book in a series is a great way to get readers interested in the rest of the series.
- Audio book sales: Giving away your Kindle book can help drive sales of that same book in its audio book format. If a Kindle book has an audio book version, Amazon will prompt the user to purchase the audio book, right after the download the free Kindle version. So while you might be giving away you Kindle book you might also be prompting users to buy the audio book.
Is there a limit to how often I can run a promotion for the same book?
There’s no strict limit, but to keep promotions effective, we recommend spacing them out. Too many frequent promotions for the same book will reduce performance.
Can I schedule a book promotion in advance, say weeks ahead?
Yes. You can book promotions weeks or even months in advance, which is useful for coordinating with Kindle Countdown Deals or free promotions.
What happens after I submit my promotion request?
You’ll receive an automated email confirming that we got your submission. Our team will then review your submission, schedule your promotion, and then send you a second email letting you know that your promotion has been set-up and scheduled.
What time of day do promotions typically start and run through?
Our promotions go live in the early morning hours Pacific Time (PT) and your book will stay on our homepage for at least 24 hours. Our newsletter sends each day at 9AM PT.
How do I pay for my book promotion?
We use PayPal to accept payment. If you don’t have a PayPal account, you can still pay with your credit card by using PayPal’s guest checkout. If PayPal does not work in your region or does not work for you, contact us as we can also accept credit cards, but we need to direct you to the correct payment page. and debit cards.
When does payment get processed—before or after the promotion runs?
Payment is processed at the time you book the promotion.
Is there a refund policy in case I change my mind or the promotion cannot be run?
If we cannot run your promotion due to an error, offensive content or other reasons we will issue a full refund. If you cancel your promotion in within 48 hours of your promotion we will refund you.
Do my books need to be enrolled in KDP Select to qualify for a book promotion?
No. We accept books whether or not they’re enrolled in KDP Select.
Can I promote a box set or book series?
Yes. Box sets and book series can be promoted, and they often perform very well with readers. To promote an entire book series, select the Book Series Promotion.
Can I see a performance report after my promotion runs?
We do not send a summary with the number of clicks your promotion generated. To measure your performance look at your KDP dashboard for the number of books sold (or downloaded) on the day of your promotion and the 2 days following your promotion. If your book is enrolled in Kindle Unlimited, then also look at the number of downloads over those days.
Can I promote the same book again for free after a paid discount promotion?
Yes. You can run a free promotion after a paid promotion (and vice versa).
Do all JustKindleBooks book promotions include email newsletter inclusion, homepage features, and social media placement?
Yes.
What information do you need to promote my book?
To set up your book promotion we need your book’s ASIN, title, genre, author name, book description, promotion date, and the price that the book will be on the date of promotion. We will pull your book’s cover from Amazon.
Can I cancel or reschedule my promotion once submitted?
Yes, though changes should be requested at least 48 hours in advance. We offer refunds for canceled promotions.
How well do promotions work for authors?
Results of any book promotion vary by genre, cover quality, book quality, price point, and reviews. A strong cover and description can significantly boost results.
Can I expect reviews from a promotion?
Yes in time, though reviews aren’t guaranteed. Typically, 1 in 100 buyers and 1 in 500 free downloaders will leave a review. Promotions increase the volume of readers, which increases the likelihood of reviews.
Are there alternatives to book promotion sites?
Yes. Alternatives include running Amazon ads, Facebook ads, or growing your own email list. Promotion sites provide quick access to large groups of targeted readers without the learning curve of paid ads.
Why should I choose JustKindleBooks instead of another promo site?
We specialize in Kindle promotions, have a highly engaged email list and reader community, and offer affordable packages. Authors have praised us for our transparency, support, and results.
Should I combine a JustKindleBooks promotion with promotions from other sites?
That’s a good idea. Many authors use JustKindleBooks alongside BookBub, Crave Books, Fussy Librarian and other sites. Combining promotions maximizes exposure.
