Hi Dave. First off, thank you for being so incredibly detail oriented. So many people give short answers, because they know the subject from years of experience, but you talk to us as though you are us..which is awesome. I purchased Publisher Rocket about a year ago, and it's amazing. The info on Keywords and Categories is helpful beyond measure. A year you ask? Yeah, I'm shy at pulling the trigger on my release, despite my eBook files being done, and a hardcopy (single print) on my book shelf at home. You may be able to help spur myself along, if you could answer some of these for me: 1. When I setup my promotion with all of these sites (As many as will accept my book category) is it best to set them all up to begin the same day? 2. Should I put a link to my KDP author bookshelf at the end of my book, so people outside of the KDP readers "may" go there to review it? Or does where they review it have little influence, as long as it is being reviewed? 3. Does it matter how my book release and promotion release lineup with each other? Another words, is it best to schedule the release and the promotions to begin the same day? Or does a promotion beginning a few weeks after a new release have little influence, other than the date heightened coverage of my book may begin?

@Kindlepreneur I've got a question which could warrant its own video... I'm a narrator and voiceover artist so am still learning the other side of the coin. My wife is an author but has found herself writing in two conflicting genres. Her first genre is children's books, while the second is Adult & post-apocalyptic which contains controversial material. Should she establish a second avatar or pen name to differentiate the two genres for the sake of marketing?

@Kindlepreneur

I'd recommend the two being separate. We authors need to brand ourselves. It would be hard to truly know what "Nike" is if they are kitchenware and Sports stuff, right?

Hi Dave! My husband and I self-published his first novel in a series of 3. It launched on Amazon 3/2/18.

What are your thoughts?

Hi Laura, awesome and congrats on the launch! As for your question, I will admit that I don't have much experience with libraries as a tactic. I know of a couple of authors who did and none of them spoke of it like it made much of a difference...if at all.

Can a book be perma-free if it's not published widely (available free on my website only)? I thought Amzn would only price match if the book is with other retailers.

Since Kindle Unlimited restricts my distribution of eBooks across other platforms if I'm enrolled in their service, I don't think this is applicable to me right now.

Thank you for your tutorial! By the way how can you make your OPT in gift turn to your perma free on amazon? should I put there the link?

This method seems a nice one... on Amazon US. What if you're writing in another language (french in my case) ? I've never heard of such promoters in France and google neither it seems...

I think you'll get more bang for your buck that way. However, that doesn't mean I recommend forgoing the tactic all togther for others out there.

Without a platform or large list or following, I definitely think you should use this strategy upon launch.
