One of our VIP members, , is doing something smart that I wanted to share because itโs a strategy you can absolutely replicate if you publish on Amazon KDP. Sheโs running a Kindle Select free promotion for a few days. The goal isnโt just free downloads.
Itโs to:
- Increase visibility in Amazonโs rankings
- Get more readers
- Earn more reviews
- Build momentum that can carry over after the promotion ends
I used this strategy myself on my books first birthday, and it helped me earn a bestseller badge. It doesnโt guarantee results, but when you combine a free promotion with your community and email list, it can be a powerful way to build traction.
If youโd like to support Tess, her book is currently free to download through July 3.

If you know a 22 to 35 year old whoโs feeling stuck, burned out, or unsure of their next step, this could be a great resource to share with them too.
If you read it, consider leaving an honest Amazon review a few days after downloading. Reviews are one of the biggest gifts you can give an author.
Iโd also love for you to look beyond this specific promotion and notice the strategy.
Building an audience that shows up for your launches is one of the most valuable assets you can create.
Have you ever used a Kindle Select promotion? Or if youโre planning to publish a book, would you try this strategy?
