Then, in the board settings, write up an SEO optimized description and add a cover photo 📸.

Thought I'd share a few reflections from my Free Book Promotion. I signed up for Kindle Select when I published my book last November and did nothing with it until July. 1. I didn't realize how giving my book away for free would benefit me. It seemed like it would just take sales away, but now I understand how it drove traffic which can show Amazon it's a book to show more people. It made it as far as #3 in all it's categories (for free books!) I saw my rankings improve significantly. Also, as it went on I got really excited about people having and reading my book. 2. Even though I gave my book away free it was still one of my biggest months in KDP royalties 3. It was by far the biggest month in people reading my book, with over 6k pages read vs an average of less than 3k. I'm experimenting more now that I see how easy it is. I had intended to raise my ebook price incrementally over the first few months but never did. After the promotion I finally raised it. This quarter I'm going to experiment with running a sale vs free. I wish I had started experimenting with it earlier!

👋 Hey everyone, I wanted to give you a quick update in case you notice I'm a little quieter than usual this week. Last night I spent about six hours in the ER with my son after he started having asthma-related breathing issues. We're heading back to the doctor today for a follow-up, and right now my main focus is helping him rest and get back to feeling like himself. It breaks my heart that he got sick so soon after celebrating his birthday. Because of that, responses to messages, video reviews, and a few other community tasks may be delayed by a day or so. I appreciate your patience and understanding while I put my family first for the moment. I'm hoping today's appointment brings us some reassuring news and that he's on the road to a quick recovery. Thank you all for your kindness and support. It truly means a lot. ❤️

some reader groups that will offer to read your books and possibly give a review (without violating Amazon rules)? If you use them, how do they work?
