I shall go and read that, T, thanks for sharing. Although, hallelujah, I am getting notifications of your blog posts into my inbox again!

Yes, the good thing about being exclusive with the Zon is that you do get those KU reads even when doing free. It’s the visibility free brings that I love. Annoyingly the mighty Zon have buggered about with my permafree of ASS for the second time in a couple of weeks so I need to go and sort that out next with them. No point firing ads to a free book that ain’t free! Grrrr…

Anyway, I agree, free is the way to go if you want people to read your work. It’s as simple as that!

I sell books and get a decent amount of Kindle Unlimited pages read every day – if I didn’t do a free promotion (and pay for advertising for them) once every 4 or 6 weeks, I wouldn’t. They pay for themselves and more, all the time. A successful free promotion brings Amazon visibility, which is what makes Kindle books sell. I don’t pay for advertising as such, but for inclusion on sites that send emails out to subscribers with details of free or discounted books. I started doing this nearly two years ago. Best move I ever made!

I think the only question is this: do you want people to read your work, or not?

I did an article about free promotions a few months ago – don’t know if you’ve seen it, but here it is, in case you haven’t (it’s geared towards the 5 day promo for KDP).
