For sure! And yes, the name of the game is promotion. Don't forget media releases, too. Maybe local newspapers would be interested! Maybe USA today is just researching an article on e-books and needs a quote. Who knows what could come of it!Carolyn Howard-Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15041591136206289558noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14401984.post-39514413128046935412012-05-16T15:57:11.735-07:002012-05-16T15:57:11.735-07:00I had AMAZING results with KDP and am excited and ...I had AMAZING results with KDP and am excited and thrilled for my next "freebie". My book is still experiencing wonderful sales and reviews and my others are also benefitting from my April giveaway. I am very pleased with the program so far. :-DAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14401984.post-20382879768745776602012-05-16T15:26:03.136-07:002012-05-16T15:26:03.136-07:00What are the changes?

Point is to promote yourself like crazy on social media during the three month period, then take a rest???? I think without continual social media updates daily about your book...etc., it becomes harder then...but what do I know.Carole Di Tostihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11831790843436160256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14401984.post-87718733003367375522012-05-16T15:01:32.318-07:002012-05-16T15:01:32.318-07:00Madison, I think that new networks, ideas, booksto...Madison, I think that new networks, ideas, bookstores, etc. often do better at first than after they get old. Maybe it is a change in policy. Or maybe it's more competition. The thing with KDP is that it isn't permanent. After 90 days, one can always take their book and spread it around to any online bookstore one wants.

Amazon has made some changes and don't let me go on about KDP. They are next to impossible to deal with. I think there is backlash about KDP select and wonder if it really is as great a tool as it was in the beginning. Even Martin Crosbie says that Amazon has made some changes. Maybe if they updated it more frequently. Good luck! I love the new cover!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00741339742186444605noreply@blogger.com
