This last week has been exciting, but hectic. I published my first novel, Fate's Exchange, a day early (by accident), and then had to rush to implement the final changes that were necessary before anyone purchased it. Then I decided to use the five days from KDP Select to promote it free for the entire work week.
In theory, the idea was great, though next time I won't be promoting a novel during the week invoicing is completed at work. 695 copies of Fate's Exchange were downloaded between Monday, August 25, 2014, and Friday, August 29, 1014, and 8 were downloaded Saturday, August 30, 2014, before the promotion ended. Excluding Saturday, that's an average of 139 downloads PER DAY! Not bad for a debut author learning the ropes of marketing, and I even received four reviews, leaving Fate's Exchange with a current star-ranking of 4.5!
During the week, I discovered how to make a review request, create promotional poster images, utilize social media to gain exposure, and became listed on numerous sites, both as an author and for the book itself. If anyone would like to see these listings and interviews, visit Twisted Fate Series on Facebook and the links will be there.
By far, this was my favorite:
