Promoting Your Books with Discounts

How can you get your book into the hands of more readers? Here’s one familiar strategy: put it on sale.

Lowering the price gives you a reason to reach out to potential readers. It reduces the risks for people who don’t know you yet.

The real magic happens after the sale is over. More readers means more reviews, referrals, and impact.

In this course, you’ll learn how and why to make short-term discounts part of your book marketing strategy.

  • How to use short-term sales to reach new readers, elevate your book’s Amazon profile, and earn more reviews
  • When to discount new books and how often to discount existing ones
  • How to decide the prices to use, and what royalties you’ll earn during and after the sale
  • How paid promotion sites like BookBub and Bargain Booksy work, and when and how to use them
  • Multiple free promotion activities that can make your sale a success
  • How to track and measure your results
