Writing and Publishing: Book Promotion – Read Free.ly

With the release of part two of my series, “Werewolf Phenomenon”, I decided to try a few free promotion websites with book one before the sequel became available on June 15th.

I set out looking for free promotion websites, and since The Recruit is currently offered for free, I didn’t want to spend a lot of money. Instead, my plan is to use the few dollars I have in Amazon Marketing Services with book two, when it comes out.

One of my successes became Read Free.ly.

Granted, I opted for the paid version, but for the $6 dollars I paid, I got great results. Read Free.ly lets you use their $6 service every four months and I plan on using it for both book one and two in October.

With $6 you get only two perks worth mentioning:

– One day featured in their newsletter (which my book shared with four other book covers).
– Five days on Twitter

The newsletter showcase became the most successful to date for “The Recruit”. You can clearly see the day it came out (with 130 downloads):
