New Book Promotion Website Drives Tons of Sales to Your Book for $0 - For Real - Say Whaaat?!

Have You Heard about Buck Books?

 I recently found out about them myself and ran a promotion with them, so I want to share with you what I discovered...

Buck Books seems to be racing to the lead in book promotion with their outside the box style, and the win-win benefits for authors, affiliates, readers, and of course themselves. Those extremely expensive book promotion websites that are reserved for only the privy might want to take some notes— I'm still fairly new at this whole authoring ebooks thing, but just from the experiences I've had, and the research I've done on other book promotion websites; I would venture to say that Buck Books will be the leading promotional website for ebooks. If I’m wrong, you can always come back and tell me “I told you so”. But if they keep going at this rate, I doubt it…

How Buck Books Benefits Everyone Involved:

·         They benefit authors with free book promotion;

·         They benefit affiliates with the commission;

·         They benefit readers with quality books at low cost;

·         They benefit themselves with their own affiliate commissions;

·         They also benefit other ebook sellers with promoting books being sold on their websites;

 

For Authors:

If you are looking to promote a book, buck books can be a bit hard to get into. If your book does not look marketable, professional, or publish ready, they may choose not to promote your book.  So make sure to cross your T’s and dot your I’s and make sure that your book cover is professionally designed.  The only thing they ask of authors is for promotion of their website.  But they don’t even ask for promo without giving something else awesome in return. Authors not only reap the benefits of getting their book promoted, but they can also reap the benefits of getting and affiliate commission at $1 dollar for every person who subscribes. How crazy cool is that? Which brings me to the affiliates…

For Affiliates:

Buck Books provides you an affiliate link to put on your website or share on social media. When someone signs up to receive book promotion emails, you get $1. They also give you a commission when someone signs up as an affiliate.

They have a Tier 1 & Tier 2 affiliate commission. Basically, when the person you referred signs up as an affiliate, you will be paid a .50 cent commission. When that same person refers someone else, you receive a .25 cent commission. Pretty sweet huh?

For Readers:

Their motto is “Never Pay More Than a Buck for a Book Again”. Buck Books provides readers quality books for an unbeatable price. The reason I say quality books is because they don’t promote just any book, like I’ve seen so many other websites do. Buck Books is working hard to create a quality brand, and with that brand, they want to feature quality books. Therefore they take the time to verify the books submitted to them are something interesting that people actually want to read. After all, if you’re promoting junk that nobody is going to want… even if it’s free, or just a dollar, nobody will waste their time with even looking at what you have to offer. I’m an author, and I’m subscribed. I’ve seen some pretty good gems come to my inbox.

I ran a promotion with Buck Books on January 2, 2015. My book went from selling 1-3 units per day to selling 141 units in one day.  I was Number #1 in three categories and had a sellers rank of 1,700. I even saw my book hanging out in the same place as Dr. Phil's which was pretty cool.

Ok, so selling 141 units wasn't the biggest promotion I could have done, but it certainly WAS THE BEST PROMOTION I've ran so far out of all the paid promotions since being an author. Buck Books is still fairly new and rapidly expanding, so I'm sure if I run this same promotion one year from now, my sales would at least be quadruple that number. With that being said- since they are fairly new, they are still working out some minor kinks. So be patient. I’m sure they are just busy cooking up something good for those who wait…

Promotion with Buck Books

Bottom line: Buck Books is fun, neat, and keeps things interesting for the readers, authors, and affiliates. They actually strive to do the right thing, and help interested readers find books that legitimate authors have worked so head to create. I’m sure they will far surpass the vast majority of book promotion websites in their efforts to create a wholesome, fun, and valuable network of readers, authors, and affiliates.

My After Christmas-New Years Book Promotion Experiment

Trying to figure out a good book promotion website to go through, but can't seem to get any straight answers to save your life? 

Yeah, I went through the same scenario. It's all good though. I got you covered. You all get to learn at my expense ;)

Okay, so I told you guys I would come back and give you the results for my after Christmas promotions.  I went through three different book promotion websites.  

KBoards on December 26

Ereader girl on December 29

Buck Books on January 2

Here are the results:

KBoards

I expected KBoards to be the big one but I was surprised because it didn’t seem to do any promotion at all.  I made a total of three book sales the date the promotion ran.  I got a small ad at the top of the forum page that rotated with another book and ad.  I thought surely this would be a winner since it is one of the main forums for the Kindle users. 

 I paid $35.00 for the KBoards ad service.  I would have been very disappointed however I emailed the admin and they refunded my money.  I was shocked that they would refund because the service was provided already.  But that says a lot about the integrity of their company.  

I asked why they thought there were no sales.  They said because my book was most likely not fitting for their readers.  Which made me wonder what exactly do their readers look for?  I had read all the information before I ordered.  It seemed that my book would have fit their demographics with the age and income range, but maybe their readers aren’t parents?  They said they are one of the large as Kindle sites so I was almost positive it would have done well.  I don’t like that I wasted my time with this one, but at least I didn’t lose my money.

EReader Girl

I didn’t expect a whole lot from Ereader girl and I didn’t get a whole lot from Ereader girl.  However I only paid $10.00.  I sold 14 units the day the Ereader girl promotion ran.  I didn’t exactly make my money back but at least I got the ball rolling. The customer service was great too.

Now, I’ve saved the best for last and was pleasantly surprised….

Buck Books

The last promotion I ran was with Buck Books on January 2.  This promotion has been by far the best one I have ran yet since I’ve been an author.  Oh yeah did I mention it was FREE? I wrote another post about how Buck Books works here.

I sold 141 units the day Buck Books promoted and my book became a number 1 best seller in 3 different categories: Discipline, Child Care, Reference.... Also when I checked, I was number 3 in Parenting and number 12 in the large Parenting and Reference category.

It was a trip seeing my book hanging out in the same place as Dr. Phil’s.
