Author Resources: Book Promotion Guides for Indie Authors

Sell more books, without the marketing fluff.

Writing the book was the hard part — until you tried to sell it. These guides cover ebook promotion the way it actually works: how deal newsletters and promotion sites operate, what promotion really costs, how to run KDP free days and Countdown Deals so they produce downloads instead of silence, and how to stack promotions into a launch week that moves your ranking.

Every guide is written from the operator's side of the desk — we run a daily deal service, so the details here (lead times, price windows, requirements, what to measure) are the ones that decide whether a promotion works. When you're ready to put a date on the calendar, start with our genre pricing and submit your book.

New guides are added regularly — Bailey sniffs out a new one about every week.
