2 Ways to Promote Your Kindle Book Using Kindle Countdown and Blogging

Here's a great way to promote your Kindle book; use the Kindle Countdown feature. You can go to Amazon's Kindle site and learn about it so I won't go into those details. I will however share how I use it to promote my books not once, but twice using my own blogs. First of all, remember that the book (and anything you promote on your blog) needs to be relevant to the theme of your blog or your readers will get turned off; they want relavancy. Then print it on flyers, and even list it on Craigslist. I will also share sites that will promote your discounted or free eBook for you at no cost, on future blog entries, so be sure to register with the (RSS Feed) Follow by Email box found on this page.

First I use content such as this to promote the book in advance:

UPCOMING eBook PROMOTION!

Yours truly has a Birthday in February; and I’m celebrating with a special on my Kindle Book. This week only, my book, ATTAINMENT REVELATION CELEBRATION, will be discounted up to 81%!  

 

 

Can’t wait? Buy it now for only $4.99 at: http://www.amazon.com/ Just place in the search bar: Ter Scott, Attainment Revelation Celebration, click on the “go” to find it and then click on the picture to look inside.

 Description: Ter Scott, Attainment Coach will show you how to attain anything within twelve months by creating your own special holiday called your Attainment Revelation Celebration Day. He walks you through the entire process to write your requests that you wish to attain (from the Major 8; a list that he categorized as the most desired wants) within the following twelve months on a sheet of paper, how to write and submit your requests to the Universe and what to do until you read your list again and compare it with the realization of your requests; on your Revelation Celebration Day twelve months later. You’ll then open it, reflect on what is revealed, celebrate and make plans and adjustments for your next twelve months and repeat the process.

 

I hope you enjoy it and use it to attain great things in your life. - Ter Scott Attainment Coach.

 

........................ The above post goes out immediately. I then create the following post and schedule it using the "Schedule" option in blogger, to have it come out one week earlier:

One last tip before I go. Create a flyer, print it and leave at coffee shops and even business places that share the theme of your eBook (but not a competitor). Usually local book stores do not promote eBooks unless of course they can get part of the royalties.

LOCAL AUTHOR Publishes ... this could be you!

LOCAL AUTHOR Publishes ....

That could be you this line refers to. Let us know when and what you've published as a Kindle book and we'll let our readers know. And because you cannot lead where you won't go, I publish Kindle books on regular basis. This is my latest:

 

Attainment Revelation Celebration

 

Whatever you do, whoever you are, you probably want to get more from your life, your career, etc. I’ve put together a book that show you how you can turn your life around within twelve months. People want instant fixes but we must remember that we didn’t get into our present situation “instantly” it took some time to get where we are with the good and the not so good. Get my book, create your own reflection and projection holiday and put it on your calendar. Give yourself twelve months time to see results. As the old commercial stated, “Try it, you’ll like it”. It’s only $4.99 (priced this low for a limited time; no, really. The price goes up soon).

 

Tony Robbins says that by the 15th of January most people have quit their resolution, that is why he one of his passions is to help people 365 days a year. And, that's why I just published my Kindle book: Attainment Revelation Celebration. It explains how you can create your own holiday in which you create a list of wishes, set them aside for twelve months, when you come back to them on your personal holiday to reflect and project; and repeat the process for another year. Plus, you can start this at any time; not just at the beginning of the year!

Should you use AdSense in Your Blog?

This blog is all about offering helps in getting your Kindle book up and selling on the web. But I know that many of my readers are also bloggers (or they should be as I teach using blogs to get your Kindle book "noticed" and "out there" on the Internet) so I'm offering this "tidbit" of advice here.

Consider Whether or Not to Use AdSense in Your Blogs

I maintain over 100 blogs (Ter Scott, Man of 100 Blogs) on the Internet and I like using Blogger because you can add AdSense to your blog with the click of your mouse; it’s “built in” as a “gadget”. But do you always want to offer AdSense to your visitors? I say “no”.

For instance, several of my blogs offer tips about using one of my products and services; pens in this case: http://myimprintpen.blogspot.com/.

By using AdSense, Google places “relevant” ads on my blog. That’s usually fine with me; I’m glad to make a few cents from each click by my visitors. But I don’t want other ads on this site about “pens” from my competitors!

Now, if it is a blog such as this one, http://secretrulesforattainment.blogspot.com/, where I assist people in attaining the dreams, goals, and desires, using AdSense here, makes sense (and cents, dollars and euros, etc.!).

So how does one make money on sites and blogs without using AdSense? Well, by selling your own products and services, you “silly goose”! However, I use affiliate ads,  Amazon widgets, and even links to my own websites, where I can control the choice of ads that will be placed on my blog or web page. 

Have questions or comments? Leave them below. I’m always glad to help!

Ter Scott!

One less promotional trick with publishing Kindle Books.

Things change, time changes everything, and Kindle doesn’t want us to use a simple trick that I’ve been taught and have taught you. It’s not a real big deal, but because I like to be able to promote my web address (www.terscott.com) on everything (and you should too), I was deflated just a bit to see that two of my books were in the “draft” mode until I removed the site address. Let me explain.

I learned my lesson in the past about not missing email communication from Kindle. So, I did a search in my email box (I have to do searches now because I get so much email) using the search term “kindle publishing” and found out why two of my books are still in the “draft” mode:

Hello,

Thank you for submitting the following book(s) for publishing to the Kindle Store. During our review, we found one or more issues with your submission that requires your attention before we can move forward.

Marketing Bootcamp for Small Business by www.terscott.com, Terry  Ter  Scott (AUTHOR) (ID:3503972) - Please remove the reference to a website in the author field.

Due to this issue, your book(s) have been moved into an editable status. Please review your book(s) for accuracy and make any necessary corrections by going to the Actions menu and clicking on “edit book details”. Once you have made the corrections, please resubmit the book(s) for publishing by clicking the “Save & Publish” button under Step 8 (Kindle Book Lending). Upon publishing, we will review the files and provide a status update shortly thereafter.

If the message above indicates that a different book has been submitted, you are required to submit the new content as a new book. To do so, choose “Add a new title” from your Account Bookshelf. If you would like to remove an existing book from sale, use the Actions button and choose “Unpublish”.

Thank you,

Kindle Direct Publishing

So here is what I had:

 

Here is how I had to change it:

 

And now it gets updated:

 

Moral of the story, don't make Kindle mad and keep your books up and selling. Also, keep abreast of these things by signing up as a follower by email. I don't collect your email that way, you will just get these posts automatically in your email box when I do them.

Things are always changing and so it is with Kindle. In my classes I have taught that you can use your web address in this way. Per this message, this is no longer the case.

If you have any comments or questions, always feel free to leave them after any of my posts.

Make it a great day!

Ter
