1. 5 Essential Promotion Tips For Selling More
Kindle Books On Amazon

2. Welcome, and thank you for downloading this free report.
Writing a Kindle book is only the beginning. The success of your book will depend on
the amount of promotion that you are willing to put into it.
Promoting a Kindle book is just like promoting an "offline" book.
This short report will share some proven promo techniques and tips with you that will
bring your Kindle book more traffic and sales.
Before we get started, there are some important things that you should do when you
submit your book to the Kindle store.
Make sure you have a great looking book cover image. People DO judge a book by
the cover. Your book cover should invite people to click on it, so you better make it
stand out from the rest.
If you don't know how to create a great cover yourself, you can hire someone on
Fiverr.com to do it for you for just $5.
Here's a good one:

Trust me, a great cover will make a difference for your sales!
Ok, let's get started…
TIP 1: Always use a proper book description and use the right
keywords and tags when you submit your book to the Amazon
Kindle store.
Keywords and tags are very important if you want to get your book a top position in
the search listings.
Keyword tags help customers, who are doing keyword searches on Amazon, find
relevant books.
You can also ask friends and family members to enter tags. Don't forget to add your
book to the right categories.
BOOK TIP: If you need a great guide (at low-cost), I highly recommend you to get
a copy of: Working Amazon: The Secrets of Amazon Tags & How to Get the Most
Out of Them -for only $3.97. The info inside this guide will pay you back many many
times.

3. TIP 2: Setup an author central page.
Once you have your book listed for sale on Amazon, setup an author central page,
and talk about yourself, your hobbies, your family, etc.
Be sure to add your book to your profile page, and tell people why they should get a
copy, mention the benefits, how your info can solve their specific problems, etc.
You can link to your Amazon book page on your blog, website, Squidoo Page, Hub
Page, Facebook, Twitter, in your email sig file, etc.
TIP: If you promote your Kindle book link, you can earn a little extra on each print
and Ebook sale when you sign up for the Amazon Associates affiliate program at:
https://affiliate-program.amazon.com and then use your affiliate link. This way you
will also earn a small commission on every book sale ☺
TIP 3: Create a webpage or blog just for downloading a free
chapter of your book.
You can create a free chapter of your book, and make it available for people to
download your book sample.
There's no need to have your own web site to do this.
You can setup a free blog at Blogger.com or Wordpress.com.
Select a style that suits your book's topic, and add some interesting articles that
relate to your book subject. You can enter a link to your Amazon book (or book
sample) below the articles.
When creating a sample of your book, use the .pdf format so that your book can
read on a any PC, Mac, Kindle reader and iPad.
You can promote a preview -or trial- version of your book on Google for free.
Making a preview copy of your Ebook available via Google will help you sell a lot
more books if people like the preview.
To help people find your book, you need to match the content with user searches.
Google Book Search will connect your preview copy with those people who are
looking for your keywords.

4. TIP 4: Join "Ebook", "Self Publishing" and "Writing" related
Facebook Fanpages or groups, and interact with other members
and writers.
Facebook has many fanpages and groups where you can meet other writers and
authors.
You can post your opinion on Facebook pages, or comment on other people's posts
or questions. Just don't be spammy, or you may be banned.
Always be polite, and helpful. Other people will start to like you if you act friendly,
and follow your links.

If you have written some useful articles that other members may enjoy, you can post
a link to them.
There's no need to write long articles, a few short tips on a specific subject will do
fine.
As long as your info is relevant, you will be able to get people to click over to your
Amazon book page, main website or blog.

TIP 5: Write reviews for other books on Amazon.
This technique is very effective.

5. Buy some books on the subject of your own book, and link the reviews to your own
author page, and from there, to your Kindle book(s).
You can mention your book in your review if it’s closely related to the one you’re
reviewing, but always be subtle about it, or your review can be removed by the
author.
You can write lots of reviews, thereby increasing the number of people who will see
your name and find your book(s) on Amazon.
You can also write an article, reviewing the related book(s) and submit these book
reviews to some of the biggest article directories.
This way, people reading your article may visit the original book page on Amazon
and when they browse the reviews, they will also see YOUR book link appear.
- You can create an Amazon book list on your favourite topic(s) and include your
own books in there. Simply select a few books on your subject that complement
rather than compete with your own, and write brief descriptions or
recommendations.
Amazon book lists are very popular, and along with your reviews, they can greatly
increase your visibility and the chances that people will find your book(s).
TIP: You can allow anyone to send your articles to their Amazon Kindle, free and
conveniently.

Voila, there you have it. 5 Essential Kindle book promotion tips that will help your
Amazon sales.
BOOK TIP: John Locke wrote a great book explaining how he sold 1 Million Ebooks
in 5 months. I have it on my Kindle and read it in one rush. It’s good info. John's
book is packed with practical tips that can help you sell more books. As an author
yourself, you should grab every tool you can to increase your sales.
Each author uses a different marketing method. Find out what can work for you,
what you can do a bit differently, and you’ll sell more copies. Period.
Writing a book alone does not earn you book readers/buyers. Getting the word out in
as many possible ways will.
Wishing you all the best with your future book sales!
