Are You Losing Overseas Readers?

Below is a promo piece that will be of special help to anyone who wants to reach people overseas by using the specific links to their buy pages in the worldwide Amazon markets. My husband, author of What Foreigners Need To Know About America From A To Z is exploring this site right now, but I didn't want to wait until he's tried it to let you know about something that may be so beneficial.

Are you losing sales by sending your UK readers to Amazon.com?

If they are in the US, then they will be forwarded to your book's page on Amazon.com. If they are in the UK, they will be sent to your book's page on Amazon.co.uk! Canada? Your book's page on Amazon.ca! Awesome, right?

Most Promising Service of the Year for Amazon Book Sales

 

 

 

My poetry partner Magdalena Ball and I are testing a new free service that helps authors sell books in countries other than their own . I am so jazzed about it, I am speechless! (Well, OK, not quite!)

 

BookShow assigns a new link that takes readers to a book page on the most  appropriate Amazon bookstore depending on where they live. I.e. If you're a German reader it would take you to your book's buy page on Amazon.de. 

 

In fact, this is so miraculous, I don't quite trust it. So Magdalena and I set up a trial link for our chapbook for mothers:  http://bookShow.me/1438263791

 

We're wondering if those of you who live in countries other than the US would check to see if this link works for you and where it takes you. Maybe tell us where it takes you if you say, live in Denmark. To the French Amazon? The Spanish Amazon? 

 

Love to hear if you're excited about the possibilities, too. Either as a comment on this blog or by e-mailing me direct at hojonews@aol.com.

 

You should also know that the "Most Promising" award in the headline of this blog is my own. But some smart contest should duplicate my efforts.
