The Goodreads Giveaway – Part 2
The giveaway ran for one month and ended November 6, 2013. I’d have to call it a success.
The Goodreads Giveaway
Since publishing the Kindle version of The Girlfriend Experience in December, 2012, it’s been my intention to promote the book with a Goodreads Giveaway. I read about Colleen Hoover’s example and learned that her Slammed series languished for months until she did a giveaway and her book got picked up by the blogs. So from that time on I considered a giveaway the cornerstone of my promotion plan.
Free Promotion! The Sequel!
There is a controversy over the value of the free promotion – giving away your book for $0.00 for a limited time. Some view this as a great way to raise the visibility of your work. Others say it cheapens your work and gluts the market. The debate rages on.
