The Stolen Kingdom FREE BOOK: books2read.com/thestolenkingdom My BookBub page: www.bookbub.com/profile/bethany-atazadeh

I find it relieving to have a self-pub author willing to talk financials and business within this very fascinating world of writing we are all mixed up in. Very few are willing to go the distance. And it's understandable as well as sad. Because it's very helpful info. Anyhow. Grats on the book bub, and thanks for the heads up. Will be getting your whole series shortly. Looking forward to seeing how it all plays out.

This is such a good strategy!! Thank you for sharing. I didn't realize it was part of a Bookbub deal when I started sharing links to the free Amazon listing after you posted it on ig. I am invested now! I can't wait to see how this strategy plays out. This is such a great idea!

Just discovered your channel, Bethany. You're amazing! And such a good writer. I downloaded the Queen's Rise - impressive!

I would love to see the follow up video! We just went through the sell through videos in the P&T course so it’s really interesting seeing it in action.

It's been awhile since you got this deal, so I was wondering how that worked out for you? Were you happy with the outcome? Was it everything you thought it would be? I love you vids so much. The information you provide is outstanding and so helpful! Keep up the hard work!

I just spent over an hour going through your video with a calculator and playing with your numbers to see if it was really smarter to go with the free book instead of the 99 cent sale... I tried to post my numbers but KZread won't allow it... suffice to say, I realize that you probably went through the same effort that I did and came to the same conclusion... but were you as surprised as I was? Thank you for the great video! I have learned to be creative but my analytical brain loves this stuff naturally!

Congrats, that's awesome! I'm thinking a series would be better read through than standalones. Hope you follow up with this sometime in the future. XO

I get the bookbub email everyday. I usually grab everything that's free and give it a try, if it's all right, I finish it. If it's really good, I get the sequels.

@@BethanyAtazadeh you're right, though, I click on a lot of books that I haven't read, or I read the first few pages/ chapters and just didn't continue. If the books aren't quality, you won't get the sell through, so it pays to make your book as polished as possible before getting a deal. Thanks for this video. I didn't realise you could pay to have your book featured in the emails.

Congrats on the deal! You should film the day it comes out. My first bookbub was so exciting, I know your book is going to do really well that day. Amazing news and so happy for you!

What if I have other books but they are different genres. One kids book, one devotional, one cookbook. I really wanted to do a book deal for the kids book and cookbook.

What do you think was actually the key action or approach which made a difference this time? (to get the deal)

Congratulations on your BookBub deal! I'm so glad you achieved your goal! 🎉

I never heard of it until now. I've tried to submit a deal, but it was rejected. I'm experimenting with their ads though.

First of all congratulation! question: in what language can 1-the book is advertised 2-new release 3-is Approval deal. - Right now my books are in 4 languages. --Not to mention my niche in that list is small (i write nonfiction)- i just added my upcoming book for a new release and it isn't free. almost $300! - Lastly, how long does the deal last? THANKS. I hope you made your money back. After watching your video, i saw my nitch (Christian nonfiction) for free almost $400 and $1300 for a deal, (unfortunately I cant sell my book at amazon for less than $2.99 (my book weight because they are picture books) But I can with Streetlib.

SO exciting! Congrats!

Does book bub free deals helps to gain new readers if you don't have a series yet?? Like is there an example where a person retained readers for her different stories or books?

@@BethanyAtazadeh Hello, great video. Can you tell me how you give your book away for free? do you have to publish your book through some service other than amazon? amazon lets you do free book promotions, but only for 5 days once every 90 days. is there a service that enables you to give your books away for free permanantly?

I’ve yet to get the answer to this: do you pay download fees to KDP when someone downloads your book for free? I’m releasing a children’s picture book and have large download fees and am scared of this! This could theoretically cost an author thousands? Thank you!
