Hi Melissa, thanks for the question. From my (so far) limited experience, I know that it takes some serious effort to promote your book on Twitter etc. But the good news is, the free promotion days on KDP Select are really powerful! I was able to get 156 downloads of my 8-page short story in two days. I still have three days of promotion left to use. If I had been promoting a full novel, I am confident the downloads would have been significantly higher. The more exposure you get from these promotions, the more purchased copies you can expect afterword.

The other really neat feature is the sales ranking. If you can believe it, my short story “The Path” got all the way to #1,313 out of millions of books for that day! If you can get near or into the top 100 for those couple of days, then you can expect significant sales just because of the additional exposure.

Like I mentioned on your blog, the cover of your book looks really cool and very professional. That should work to your benefit. Where did you have it done by the way

Good luck, and I’ll make sure to check out your progress after you launch your book!

I’m in the process of preparing my manuscript to self-publish my first novel via Amazon. Should be done in the next few days. What’s your take thus far on the whole self-pub/Amazon KDP scene? Any tips or words of wisdom?

Thank you for the comment. Yes, it is very important to conscious of this, especially in Facebook. It may be a bit more tolerable if people have signed up to follow your business on Facebook, but even then moderation is key.

I wish more people would do this – think things through, before spamming everyone in sight. I’ve started ignoring posts from certain people (on Facebook), for this reason. Great post!
