eBook Sites You Should Be Using to Promote Your eBook Deal!
So you’ve scheduled an eBook promotion and marked down the price of your book (or maybe you’re even offering it for FREE – http://thefutureofink.com/free-is-best-marketing-tool/), but now what? How are people going to hear about this promotion?
You have to do a little work to get your book into the hands of readers. In addition to announcing your eBook deal on your website and other social media platforms it’s definitely worth your time to have a few eBook promotion sites blast out an announcement to their readers.
Check out these sites when you need to get the word out about your eBook promotion!
Note: You may wish to promote on a variety of sites. Some have paid options, others are free. Some sites won’t post about your book unless you have a minimum number of reviews, a certain star rating on Amazon or are priced below a certain dollar amount. A few restrict genres, too. So pay attention to the “rules” for each site.

Here is an interesting new approach to ebook promotion I would like to share. We list your book on content rich pages and share it through our large and constantly growing social media following.
It is super simply to submit an ebook and always free:

Think of it as Pay-Per-Click advertising without having to pay per each click!
Your Ebook does not have to be free, and once we list it, it stays live on our pages for as long as the Ebook is available for download.
