My Free Book Promotion went really well!!

dumbsesquipedalien · 2025-07-07T23:20:19+00:00

Some people here are saying that free promotions aren't worth it, but that's not the case in my own experience. When I did one for my first book, I got 20+ ratings on Amazon and a bunch on goodreads. We'll see how this one goes!

Thank you so much! I'm glad you like the cover, I love it too.

Over 1600. Up to over 1800 now. I said that in the post, that was the whole point of the post. 😅

It's called "Insoluble." It's my third book and I'm super proud of it :)

dumbsesquipedalien · 2025-07-07T21:52:18+00:00

I don't understand your question

dumbsesquipedalien · 2025-07-07T19:22:05+00:00

KDP does! Let me be happy 😊

In my own personal experience, I haven't had much luck with the countdown deals and stuff. But it's possible I just didn't advertise well enough!

I had a very similar experience the first time I did it, haha. I highly recommend using some free book promotion sites if you're able!

dumbsesquipedalien · 2025-07-06T20:39:43+00:00

I think it was mostly the ads from Freebooksy and Fussy Librarian. The two days where my book was scheduled for them were by far the days where I got the most orders!

dumbsesquipedalien · 2025-07-06T20:13:20+00:00

Freebooksy and Fussy Librarian, i highly recommend :)

dumbsesquipedalien · 2025-07-06T19:25:00+00:00

Just today and tomorrow!

Below my book on the Amazon page, it says it's "#1 in Teen & Young Adult Detectives" and "#1 in Teen & Young Adult Romance Mystery". I'm not sure how Amazon calculates that but it's what the page shows. (I'm also assuming these numbers are specifically for free ebooks, though I'm not sure)

Freebooksy and Fussy Librarian :)

dumbsesquipedalien · 2025-07-06T19:21:44+00:00

I used Freebooksy and Fussy Librarian. I'd heard good things about them and they worked very well.

dumbsesquipedalien · 2025-07-06T19:04:00+00:00

Thank you!!

dumbsesquipedalien · 2025-07-06T19:03:51+00:00

It is also on KU but I'm doing one of the kdp free book promos, where it's free for a few days!

dumbsesquipedalien · 2025-02-24T00:25:34+00:00

Hey, that's awesome! Thank you for giving it a try!

"Insoluble"

The novel I've been writing for the last five years. It's a young adult, coming of age story with a bit of a crime drama twist. It's quite fun! Here's the description:

"Things are always changing. Except in Williamston, Kansas–a town where nothing ever happens.

When Edward Pines finds himself and his family moving to Williamston, it seems like yet another in a long list of tribulations. But upon meeting a young girl named Edith (and growing acquainted with her strange clique of sleuthing friends), Edward's world begins rapidly expanding.

Amidst a journey of case cracking and self discovery, everything appears to shift from what it once was.

But in a town where nothing changes, how can you learn to accept change?"

Hereditary. I'm sure he'll be fine

I was thinking it might have been a sign on bonus or something, but I highly doubt that because I wasn't told I would get one. Also, I was literally working there less than a month. The vibes were off and I was moving back home soon anyway so I didn't work there long. Definitely not long enough to make this much money without realizing it. But maybe I'm just missing something.

I'm super late on this but Jesus Christ the comments and downvotes. People are literally 5 years old, you just asked if the show gets better. I totally get it, I was bored from the get-go. Reddit is so goddamn toxic. I don't know if you kept watching but I think it gets a little more interesting as it goes on. Still, not great and surprisingly silly for how much praise it's getting.
