Death of Secrets is featured on ereadernewstoday.com. As marketing opportunities go, this one may be the best I’ve encountered for self-published authors. I’ve sold about 49 e-books since the listing went live at around 9am mountain time — in less than 11 hours, in other words. And honestly those didn’t really start coming in until around noon. So really it’s about 8 hours to sell 49 e-books. Based on my experience with Kindle Nation Daily / bookgorilla, it seems likely this surge will continue at least through tomorrow morning. If so, there’s a good chance that this promotion will exceed the success rate of the previous promotion.
What makes ereadernewstoday.com the superior promotion, though, is their price structure. As I understand it, I will receive a bill in a few days for 25% of the dollar amount I make in the first two days of the promotion. That makes it effectively a can’t-lose proposition from a return-on-investment perspective.
I’ll report in a week or so on whether this worked out as expected. If it does, I would say ereadernewstoday gets my strong recommendation for any indie author to use in promoting their work.
