Hey Garth,
Good luck with the sale. Does Amazon just spring these sales on you? Does your cut of the purchase change when they have a sale? I was just curious.
Thanks, Susan. From what I’ve read, it does not affect the author’s cut. From my browsing, it looks like Amazon has discounted all books on their site between 5% to 25%. It caught me off guard, but I’m more than happy to promote it. 🙂
That’s good to hear! I am doing more and more research about self publishing, and the idea is beginning to really gel with me. Just because I am curious, did you research other self publishing avenues besides Amazon? If so how did they differ?
I am actually a familiar with Smashwords and Barnes & Noble, and have been involved with releasing books through all sites. I’ll eventually use those other channels, but right now it’s more a matter of taking advantage of Amazon’s marketing with their Select program. They do a good job with their promos. Kobo is seeing a lot of growth, and they are an aggressive ebook company, and B&N is awesome. It is painful not to be on those sites, but until they can compete with Amazon’s reach, Amazon gets temporary exclusiveness.
