It's hard to get exact information on the number of downloads people achieve with a giveaway and how many you need to get high in the Amazon rankings. So I'm experimenting with a giveaway, various promotion techniques, and blogging about it very openly with exact figures. Hope it helps others.
I'm giving my novel away free as an alternative Christmas present, as it's an alternative kind of Christmas novel. It's full of dark humour, so I hope you enjoy it if you get fed up with the usual festive sentimentality.
It's a free Kindle download until tomorrow (Wednesday), and you can get it even if you don't have a Kindle by downloading the free Kindle reading app from Amazon.
It's available worldwide on Amazon sites, so look for Adele Ward Everything is Free and you should find it. If you write a review or blog about it, let me know and I'll promote it in the blog articles I'm writing (which are popular) and on the publisher website. Hope you enjoy it!
I'm blogging about this experience very openly, giving the statistics to show how many downloads of the book can get an author to certain positions in the Amazon rankings, and the techniques that can be used to achieve this. My blog is on
http://www.adeleward.blogspot.com Do let me know if you write a review, even if it's only brief, or a news item about the giveaway as I want to mention them in my blog.
The festive season has begun! Happy reading and writing -
