Reviews are fuel for future book sales in the world of book sales. The more people your book reaches, the better the chances you have for reviews. If you book is available on Kindle there are two great opportunities through Kindle Direct Publishing if you signed up for KDP Select. These special opportunities come up every 90 Days for those enrolled in KDP Select.
Create a Kindle Countdown Deal
You can create excitement about your book by scheduling a time-based promotional discount for your book. While the special is running Amazon customers will see the discount (and regular price) and the time remaining at that price level. During the promotion you will continue to earn your selected royalty rate. During this time books will automatically be available for customers to see on Kindle Count Down Deals on Amazon.
Create a Free Book Promotion
Your Kindles can be offered for free to readers for up to 5 days out of each 90-day KDP Select enrollment period. During the period that it is offered for free you will not receive any royalties on your book, but you will get into the hands of a large number of new customers. You can offer your book for free one day at a time or 5 days in a row.
