+127 of the Top Free and Paid Book Promotion Sites
A grand but overused tactic to improve Kindle book sales is to spread your book’s Amazon sale page link to as many free and paid book promotion sites as possible.
The hope is that regardless of the quality of the book promotion site, or the amount of actual traffic that they receive, sales or downloads will occur and hopefully a review or two may show up.
Whether you love this style of kindle book advertising or not, one cannot deny the effectiveness of this book advertising strategy.
The below list is my compilation of my favorite book promotion sites – some free, while others not so much.
Each one of the ebook promotion sites will have their own set of requirements in order to be accepted. So, to help you out, I did the research on each one and wrote a quick bit about their stipulations and what that website is all about.
In this article, you will gain:
- A list of the best book promotion websites, free and premium
- An understanding of how these book promotion sites work
- A couple of options in order to not have to do this yourself
List of Top Free Book Promotion Sites
The below list comprises of the best book promo sites out there. As you'll see they are all free, but some have a special upgrade. Make sure to check the notes to the right and ensure your ebook meets the requirements. Many of these I have used, while others were ones I collected recommendations from by other authors, so please keep that in mind and if you find one to be incredible or terrible, let me know and I'll update as necessary. Check this post out if you're looking for book promotion sites for audiobooks.

Book Promotion Plus Publishing Deal
There is a company in the list above that needs a special mention. Inkitt is a publishing company that will not only submit your book to their thousands of readers for free (legit) but will also offer you a publishing deal worth thousands of dollars if their readers like it.
You win because you get your book out in front of a LOT of people, increase your discoverability, and get the chance to land a publishing deal. They win because through their system, they'll be able to know how much people enjoyed your book and with their mastery of book marketing, they know they'll be able to increase sales so that it is profitable for the both of you if you do decide to sign with them.
How it works is that you first submit your book, and they'll upload it to their e-reader app which has been downloaded by hundreds of thousands of people. There, their app users will choose, download and read your book…all the while Inkitt will monitor how far they get into the book. If they see that people are reading it at a high percentage, then they'll offer you a publishing deal.
The best part is, you can still say no…but I doubt you would. They've got a solid record at this.
Requirements:
- Must be over 20,000 words
- No short story collection or poems
- Accepts only Fiction entries
That's it.
So, check it out, upload your book, get it discovered by thousands and potential land a nice publishing deal!

Also, keep in mind the list of paid sites below consist of some that I haven't personally used, and some that I have.

How Do Free Book Promotion Sites Work
These book promotion sites have collected a very targeted bunch of emails or built up a large social media account and are willing to do some free book promoting on your behalf.
All you have to do is submit your book information for a promotion, and they'll blast the information out to their – hopefully – avid readers. With all of those free downloads, the hope is that some of them will leave a review and the spike in downloads will help with your Amazon rankings.
So, why do they do such an amazing free service?
Podcast Episode – Learn More About Which Promotion Sites Are Best And How They Work
In many cases, these free and paid book promo sites will use their Amazon Associate link to point to your book. That way, if someone clicks on it and downloads it, that site will get a percentage of anything that person ends up buying within 24 hours of clicking the link. Yup…that's how Amazon Associate works.
But don't let that get you all riled up! These book promotion sites are basically free advertisement for you. By getting the clicks and downloads, your book will become more popular by the minute…and all you had to do was fill out a form. It's a win-win situation.
Some even do it so as to see how well your book performs with their readers and will then turn around and offer you a very profitable publishing deal like Inkitt does — which is kind of brilliant if you think about it.

Book Promotion Site Services and Help
Now, if you are a writer with frugal living habits or just someone on a budget, you can take the above list of book promotion sites and hand-jam your information into each one.
Grab a bottle of wine and some ice cream, because that will take a little bit of time.
Viable Economical Services
Another viable option is to go to Fiverr and pay someone to do the lists above or follow their own list – although I don’t think they will be as thorough as my list. Typically, though, I will send my Virtual Assistant this list and have them do it for me, but until you make the VA leap, see if you can find someone on fiverr to do it for you.
And here are some more Fiverr Opportunities
(P.S. None of these are affiliate links)
BKnights on Fiverr: This guy or gal is the bomb diggity of promotion sites sales. While his or her services have changed a bit recently, you still have the option of promoting your free or discounted book on their website and email list full of hungry readers.
Book Kitty Facebook Promos on Fiverr: Through this gig, they'll promote your book on 5 popular Facebook pages that the gig runner owns. With 600+ positive reviews, it's a favorite and go-to gig for many.
James H. Mayfield's Promotion Service: This one is my favorite coming from my good friend Holger (uses a pen name). Honestly, he has the most experience with working with these free sites and I took a peek at his analytics and well…the guy's a pro. Plus, he offers other types of promotions to include Facebook, Reddit, forums and others. If you're looking for a free book promotion, (he does not currently do 99¢ promos), this one is worth checking out.
Fiverr Gig for 25 Kindle Sites
If you would like to make some extra cash, go ahead and start your own Fiverr gig and email me your link. I'll include you on this post….talk about FREE publicity!
Premium Book Promo Submission Tools
If hiring someone to do this is not your thing, then you could always venture into the programming side of the world. Here are two programs/services that you could try. Neither of these links are affiliate links because I don't use them so I can't say with certainty that they are good or work. But if you try them, let me know your thoughts in the comments below:

Hey Guys, I’m Dave and when I am not sipping tea with princesses or chasing the Boogey man out of closets, I’m a Kindlepreneur and digital marketing nut – it’s my career, hobby, and passion.

Hey Dave, nice list. Here’s one to add:
Free Books Showcase @ White Dove Books
If you are an author and you have book in the Kindle store, we can help you to get interested readers by promoting it to our regular subscribers, our social channels, and our expansive distribution network consisting of 80+ sites …

Amazing! Thank For Sharing List
Glad to have helped!
Hallo,
Which of all these are good for promoting poetry books?
Thanks,
Nicola
Not sure since I haven’t promoted a poetry book on these before.
Ah ok – thanks anyway for your quick response.
Dave: This list is really getting out of date. For example, a number of these site’s prices have changed dramatically. There are simply too many to mention in this comment. So, for it to be relevant it needs to be updated more frequently. It would also help if this list were alphabetized. And perhaps if any of the promo sites listed has a minimum word count required for an author’s work to be accepted might be included. For example, Free Booksy requires a minimum of 50,000 words. Those of us who write short stories in addition to novels, or who write short stories exclusively I’m sure would love that feature. Anyway, there is such a limited amount of decent lists of this kind on the Internet that are updated at least once a year that it might be worth your time to update it more frequently. I’m sure it would get even more hits than it currently does. You do such great work overall (I love PubisherRocket) and you seem to be highly regarded by your customer base that you could improve your standing even more so with an excellent list of this type.
Thank you.
It takes over 100+ hours to go through that list and investigate each. But I have it marked on my calendar that I do it annually. Next marathon on this is scheduled for next month…although I’ll admit, it’s a task I do NOT look forward to doing..haha.
U Rock buddy!…so much good info
Thanks and glad you like it.
Book Goodies link is broken – here is a good link
https://bookgoodies.com/authors-start-here/
BTW I caution everyone not to use your regular email on most of these websites, especially the free ones. You will be immediately hit with spam and scammy offers.
Ignite Your Book is also a dead link.
Dave–thanks for everything you do! I’m pretty sure I’m not the first person to THINK of this question but I didn’t see anyone ELSE asking it so here goes…
“Would it have KILLED you to alphabetize the list?
Thanks in advance for your answer to this question.
Haha…perhaps. I am taking a look at the article and updating it soon. Might use a table this time that allows for the use of sorting and such.
I submitted my books on ww.humanmade.net and I found it useful. They offer free and paid services. Give it a try.
This is an amazingly comprehensive list. Thanks for putting it together!
Thanks for this list, very helpful. Been looking for book submission sites for my book Coping with Suicide.Please also checkout my website.
I highly recommend reading The Lonely Life of a Pornography`s Wife, especially women. Sure, It is about love and romance, mafia and murder, pornography and erotica, adultery and deception but It is really about how the porno movie industry in the 1970`s-80`s reached peak and when corruption took over. This nearly destroyed some of the wives who were unwittingly (and/or, unwillingly) involved. Oh yeah, yo men will like to read this too… a lot!
Thank you for the great info Dave! If ever you review your lists, there are two things I would love to see:
1) Number of people reached (daily or monthly) so we know where to put our efforts
2) which ones are compatible with Amazon`s terms of service for those of us who have an ebook on KU for sale.Thank you

Great list, thanks.I’ve found https://profilecritics.com/ to be a really effective, free promotional tool. You have to put occasional work in – tweeting or Facebook posting either your own interview or one of the articles – but it brings regular exposure in quite a classy environment
great video Dave with so much info.
Awesome and glad you liked it.
Hi Dave,
E book deal of the day now costs $10 per platform (Kindle, Nook, etc.) Thanks.
Hi Brent, oh, thanks for that. I’ll get that updated. Currently doing an annual full scrub and test of everyone of those (a LONG process)
Thanks for the incredible information. I am just about finish with my second children`s book and I am going to redo the illustrations to my first children`s book now that I have a solid marketing plan. I have been doing a lot of research since my first book. I feel even more comfortable about moving forward with the added information I got from your blog, David. Thanks, again, for sharing.

Ok thanks
I hope my book https://www.amazon.co.uk/Qu… sells more with your help thank you
Just thought I’d share some of my experiences. I did not try every site in the list, but the following sites appear to be no longer available:
Ebook Lister
Book Pinning
Free Kindle Deal”Jungle Deals and Steals” appears to be no longer active (although the website is still there), and I had access errors when I went to check out “Free Book Club” and “Book Deal Hunter.”All of the other ones that I tried (and I probably posted my last eBook promotion on at least half of the “free” or “nearly free” sites) are still active and in-business.
Thank you for sharing!-)
There are sooo many sites… Difficult to make decisions…Thank you.
I just checked eBook lister and they are open
Hi,Thanks for sharing It is very informative
I produce romance and have had the best book promotion success with Real Romance Readers!Check them out!https://realromancereaders.com
The New Rationalist has an excellent non-fiction book review section at https://newrationalist.com/…
So do i have to submit my manuscript here in free promotion sites?
My experience with BooksButterFly: For a book with 19 reviews of 4.5 star average I got abysmal results after spending 200 bucks. I would say that not many authors reply on a single source for promotions, so even with 2 – 3 sales and no analytics not even those numbers can be fully attributed to BB. They give you credit for future promotions if they do not meet their numbers, but then again It is a circle. To add to the frustration Amazon will only allow you to do a countdown promo every 3 months for each book.
BooksButterfly has a horrible reputation.
Will it not go against the policies of Amazon if I will put my Kindle ebook on Inkitt for free?
If you are signed up for Kindle Select or KU, then yes, that goes against their TOS. However, if you are not, then no.
https://bgsauthors.com/ is one also
Do Amazon allow you to give away FREE copies of your published Kindle book on free ebook sites? If not, the other option for the author would be to write a free PDF ebook (in my case, a book of my short horror fiction), not publish it on Amazon, but put it on these sites as free download. However, that would not enable the author to get reviews on Amazon, would it?
Yes, so long as you aren’t under Kindle Select or KU. Here is a video that fully explains all the intricacies to giving out a copy of your book and Amazon`s take: https://www.youtube.com/wat…
Are there times that the differing submission tools post to the same sites and how do the sites handle that?
What are the best sites anywhere to promote a free kindle book?
In truth, there are so many different sites and they all have different audiences so the best bet is to post your promotion wherever your audience is most likely to see it.
Thanks Dave. Will focus on social media groups interested in the free kindle book subject.By the way there is an author in the UK who is typing tags in his Amazon Book description. For example, after he writes the description of a Quotes book he has compiled, he ends his Amazon book description with this paragraph:Tags:Positive quotes, uplifting quotes, short inspirational quotes, famous quotes about life, inspirational sayings, encouraging quotes, inspirational messages, daily inspirational quotes, motivational sayings, inspirational quotes, great quotes, motivational quotes, inspirational quotes about life, motivational thoughts, inspirational quotes about love, sad quotes, good quotes, famous quotes, daily quotes, meaningful quotes, motivational words, cute quotes, short quotes, best quotes, motivational messages, quote of the day, quotable quotes, quotation, motivational quotes to get the blood moving, quotes box, quotes every man should know, quotes growth, quotes happiness, quotes and sayings, quotations history, quotes book, quotes life changing, quotes magnets, quotes quips and words, sentiments, life changing quotesSeems this helps Amazon shoppers find his book better? What do you think?
In truth, I’m not a big fan of using tags in the description. That said, A9.com, the algo`s own website, says they index product descriptions so it may have a small impact.
Do any of these sites promote Novellas?
Thank you for compiling and sharing this information. It is much appreciated. https://www.jasoneroyle.com/
The list of the best promos to do is not real right? I have tried with three different emails to get somthing and all I get a landing page for subscribing to your videos and podcast.Which of these 127 options should I use? This list is meaningless if you have no data on what works, you are giving us no more than google.
Hey Chase, I’m so sorry to hear that happened, the list is definitely real and you should have received an email shortly after signing up. Unfortunately they often go to spam or promotional folders. Please send me an email at dave@kindlepreneur.com so I can get this sorted out for you.
This is a great read. Thanks for the great insight on book promotion. However guys, if you need help promoting your book, you can check this out. http://bit.ly/2FS1zOVI have tried it out myself and I can tell you that it is awesome.It is cheap, rewarding and result oriented as well
I never imagined for such a big list.
Thanks for the information, it really helpful for me as an author for promoting my book.
No problem, hope you found some good ones.
Awesome! Thanks for sharing such a great list!
Be WARNED! EReader New Today is NOT FREE! Their pricing is also listed on a separate page from submissions; nowhere is specific pricing listed on their submissions page. It is around $45 to advertise your book with them. Very misleading.
They do work well though.You can get a lot of sales from those promos.
Great list, I will be trying a few of these sites. My experience with book promotion has been fraught, and I’ve found that most of the free services tend to bring virtually zero results. Having said that I just promoted an epic fantasy book with Book Sends (https://booksends.com/adver… and I can honestly say that this is the first (and only) paid promo site that has actually produced results, for my $25 my book jumped from outer space on the Amazon rankings into the top 100 in genre. So I think they should be on the list above. I have a promo coming very soon on Book Scream ($8) so if it gives results I’ll let you all know.
Thank you for sharing.-)
Hey, first of all thanks for the amazing information. the sites which you mentioned here are wonderful. i got some useful books from Free Kindle Books and Tips.
I would suggest you tried for the Digital India Teacher where I got all the books for free. they havent charge a single dime.
Oh my word, Mr. Chesson! I’ve written a story which I want to give away to entice people to leave their emails in return. With some of the sites above I can not only display them full time for free, but I can also find someone (I’ll get in touch with your buddy, Holger, before my website is finally finished and see how much he charges and if he can be a platform for advertising my novel on all of the sites above.) I’m also in the middle of your AMS campaign video`s, which I totally recommend to anyone who wants an over the shoulder look at how to advertise on Amazon. I cannot believe the amount of information that you and your team have put together for us Author`s who are starting out. I’m staggered. I look forward to the next topic I come to in my quest to achieve my goal, which you have so unselfishly given your valuable time to. THANK YOU!
Thanks Michelle! That really means a lot to hear.
First of all, Thank you so much for your ” Description Generator”, this is perfect. I have publish my first Kindle e-book on Amazon and I have a problem. Please, could you help me to answer this question:
My book just available for day on Amazon and I do not see my book “Page Length” on a sale page, everything is good except this one. Hope your answer. Thanks!
Just Kindle Books is a scam. Got nothing from them and they messed up my promotion days which I’m hoping doesn’t give me bad reviews. After emailing about the date mix-up, I’ve received no response from them. Not a legitimate site. Also, i think they sell your email addresses because I’ve received several unsolicited offers from other sites I’ve never heard of since signing up with them. Freekboosky was amazing. Bargainbooksy not worth it.
Oh wow…I’ll look into that – thanks. Yeah, Freebooksy is one of the best which is why it makes my top 10 list that my email subscribers get.
I supposedly just did a Butterfly Books Promo which cost me $100 for their PURE GOLD package, but they did not promote my book — there was nothing on their websites they listed, no email to readers that I can tell. I emailed them to ask for evidence that they’ve promoted my book and have received no response. They are criminals. You need to take them down from this list and your secret list. I am so disappointed with the predatory behavior of most of these sites.
Contact me via my contact page or email – i’d like to know more.
Jennifer,We promoted your book only 10th instead of 9th and 10th.We’re very sorry we missed the first day and have done a full refund. You emailed us 9th and we responded 10th.We’ve forwarded you email newsletter from 10th and you yourself

Please, could someone give me some advice about Kindle publishing: Could I publish different category ebooks under different author`s name(pen name) in 1 account ? THANKS!

Hi to everyone! I am an individual author on amazon and i am looking for tips how to promote books on amazon.
From my experience i have found some services that help to promote books cheap and fast, in a few clicks, I tried bookmarketingtools service,its a good service, but too much expensive for 1 credit, i have found another one, which propose less websites for promo, but its much more cheaper, very cheap indeed): http://bookpromo.site, I tried it and it worked well)
If anyone knows good services to promote books, please share))

Does anyone know anything about a promotion company called Book Nymph? I used to get a lot of ads for them, and was ready to use them for a new book of mine That is coming out, but when I tried to go to their website, I got a big red “X” and a warning about their security certificate; that it was not safe to go there. Anyone know anything about them?
Dave, is there any way you could add to these tables which books accept permafree? Thanks
Hi Amy! Great Idea! I’ll get to work on that update it. Once I’ve done that, I’ll send out an email about it.
Awesome!

Kindle Nation Daily the greatest RIP OFF of all times. Paid more than 100 dollars and got two sales. Imagine that!
Yep, this happens often with KND – I know a lot of fellow-indie-authors who promoted with KND (various genres too) several times and never even approached the ‘level of sales success’ that the site continues to claim. I’ve promoted with them too with a trickle of sales for the amount you have to pay for their service. However, they ALWAYS have some ‘best-selling’ New York author endorse their service. I’ve been tracking their promo tactic for a long time now. However, a reality-check here.For an indie author ‘success-sales’ does NOT mean the same thing that it would for a legitimate New York best-selling author. If KND has 10-sales for that given promo-day for a new indie author, That is actually very good ‘success’ for that newcomer. If KND has 10-sales for an indie author who`s been doing the circuit for 3-5 years and has a dozen books out, That is not so good.Once again, realistically speaking, the ONLY promo sites that will get you 70-100 books per promo-day sales (and your book better be super-professionally edited, great cover with a story that will suck-in the reader from the first sentence) are RobinReads, BookBub, maybe Riffle Books and not much more. 15-30 books per day is a good performance for BargainBooksy, ENT, Reading Deals, eBookDiscovery (lower end performance), BookAdrenaline (genre specific) and maybe eReaderIQ.You need to actually TRY ALL the paid promo sites to determine which ones peforms and then which one PERFORMS FOR YOU. Yes, even promo sites are author-specific. RobinReads and ENT have done great sales for my Peacetaker series over the last couple of years – but they won’t touch my other genres. Go figure.

YOU WANT TO LOVE AND BEING LOVED FOREVER?
Is your marriage at the verge of collapse? Partner left for another woman /man; Feel rejected and doesn’t notice you anymore ,non of your opinions counts anymore, partner not showing love and affection or you have been divorced but still want your partner back? Here is a great opportunity to restore your happiness and Make your partner love you more than ever!
I was once in one of those problems mentioned above and it was so frustrating that all my efforts for solution yielded nothing till I read an article about dr.Kareem how he helps reunite broken relationship.I gave it a try because you can never know sometimes until you break down the walls. I got his contact from his website : www .fastspellsolution.com and he opened up a communication channel with me which lasted for few day.I must say his services are beyond human imagination, and many have always asked what is behind these very services, because of their effect on problems.However, he told me what i need to do and afterwards, our love ife the affection rekindled and restored.We are in love more than ever and it’s been 7 years now.Thank you so much dr.Kareem for restoring back my marriage.If you are going through any problem visit him at drkareemjida AT gmail DOT com or http://www.fastspellsolution.com. Do not allow unbelief and ignorance to keep you in that position and you will be glad you as you reach him.
Good luck!
Thanks for the great list. Im surprised i didnt see top shelf book on there. They are one of the best sites around. Them and ibookpile until it was shut down. anyway heres the link, check it out. https://topshelfbook.org/
thanks. and ibook pile started back up ibookpile.org
its https://topshelfbook.net now. They changed it
I tried book butterfly and the best description to the experience is that it was a pure rip off and a well organized scam. Even for their guarantee they don’t make refund but rather they make you buy more service with the refund amount as a discount.
This was quite informative. Got to know about how book promotion sites work, and was not aware so many free sites were there. Got what I was looking for. Thank a lot!
Hi Dave. Is there any reason Instafreebie isn’t here? Do you recommend it? Thanks.
Nope…but I’ll look into them. Thanks for the heads up.
one of a best article…
i am going to promote my book in free sites first. I wonder how the sales will grow….
How up to date is this list?
I do my best to keep it up to date from time to time, but once a year I will go through all of them again, and reform my data and republish the article again.

If possible please add to this list.
Thank you
Hi Dave, awesome post. I just went through all the free listings to promote my ebook next month. Then I will do the paid versions to compare. Or would you suggest just to do them all in the same month? I am doing free 4 days and then .99 cents for the month as its migraine awareness month. (Good timing, I hope!). Just spent hours reading different posts on your website. AWESOME! Thanks ….
Just thought I’d share. I’ve used Awesome gang and you might as well set fire to $10, but then it is only $10. More annoying was Indie Author News. This sites paid advertising is in the region of $100. I used this and I was soooo excited. It could be the boost I needed. Normal sales were around 6-10 a day and that’s with me pushing it daily via FB, website, and using Amazon advertising. So I did nothing on the Indie Author News day and sat back. I dropped from position 25 to 39 in my category, not a hit on a FB page, nothing at all on my websites, no sales. A big flat zero. I wish I’d kept the cash and put it towards a couple of days off work when I could have generated more leads myself using some of Dave’s great tips. Lesson learnt the hard way.
thank you so much, that was really helpful. i wish you many sales

Out of curiosity, how much percentage referral you make from inkitt? i see that your link is as an affiliate .. Also how did your book do after submitting them ?
Assuming you’re talking to me, my link is not an “affiliate.” I don’t know the guy who wrote that article from wallpaper, so my opinion isn’t biased. I just left a comment there thanking him for confirming my suspicions.
The Inkitt website barely has readers there anymore. It’s just a bunch of writers fighting each other to be heard, that’s what it amounts to. People spend all their time fighting to get people — mostly other writers — to read and review their stuff on Inkitt and only Inkitt, which is utterly pointless. It’s not like reviews on Inkitt have an effect on Amazon sales, and KDP prohibits your books from being published there anyway. Even if Inkitt wasn’t a scam, the website still has little value for an indie author who publishes on Kindle.
I didn’t post anything about Inkitt because I have a grudge against them (I don’t) or because I’m angry my book didn’t do well with them. I wasn’t there that long. I left when I had enough sense to realize the “publishing deal” was a scam.
I don’t have anything against Dave. And — once again — I wasn’t at Inkitt long enough to hate them.
I posted my comment to warn other writers, to help them avoid falling into a trap that other writers have fallen into.
It’s. A. Scam.
Thankfully, I got out before I could get sucked in and I’m trying to help others.
That’s basically it.
No, my question was for Dave, his blog post above is a referral link for inkitt. I can see why he is putting it in first place. Thanks for your warning @Dragon Nerd. Noted , and will not even attempt to try inkitt.
The above listing are good collected and thanks for sharing.

I signed up to get the best list of sites of the best ROI. but what I got was your Kinlde ranking ebook – very deceptive
Deceptive? No…more like a glitch – sad you’d jump to a conclusion like that…but then again, in today’s online world, I get where you are coming from. After putting in your email address, it’s supposed to immediately auto-redirect you to the page to download list of best promo sites. If it didn’t, I apologize for that and contact me via my contact page and I’ll send it to you.
I get how hard it is to put up a specific content upgrade for specific bunch of posts. Sorry for jumping into conclusions. I must have been real stressed out that day. Anyways I sent in an entry to every one of the ones above on the list (except the ones that require payment) lol.
But I will highly appreciate if you can mail me that list. I really love your stuff btw. I just hope my comment helps as well as some kind of a feedback., it might be a good idea to test how your upgrades work because it doesnt just NOT lead to the page where you can see the list of the sites with great ROI it really ..isnt there, I hope you double check how that works. Maybe you upgraded some plugins and the option just disappeared. Happens to me as well
Fully understand. There are a lot of questionable things on the internet. Just emailed you the link and I’ll look into my system and see what went wrong.
Thank you my friend, your authenticity shines through
No problem and that means a lot to hear 😀
Thanks for the tip, I just tried this and we’ll see how it works.
I feel the need to comment here that Inkitt is a hack https://davidgowey.wordpress.com/2016/11/19/inkitt-deleted-my-account-and-other-forms-of-nefarious-vanity-press-skullduggery/
They aren’t a real publisher. They’re a scam and they are definitely not a ticket to publishing success. Writers are being duped into taking contracts from them and are basically ripped off, most of the time receiving no royalties.
I mainly use the website to put excerpts from my books in front of readers, but already, I’ve got Inkitt employees sniffing around, like I’m the next sucker.
I agree that in the past, they had an issue with their marketing team doing things that ruined their name a little. But before I ‘recommended’ them I actually had a full meeting with their team, and President and discussed a great many things about their company. I liked the fact that they were using real data to help make decisions and appreciated their honesty about the mistakes made in the past. I also had a lawyer go through and check all of their terms and conditions, check their background,etc (yeah, I’m pretty thorough) and the lawyer gave them the low risk, good compliance green light.
I did research on those who’ve used them and seen success, and checked all of their “as mentioned on” so as to make sure they weren’t lying but were actually featured. All came back good to go.
Granted there are a couple of articles out there that refer to the previous issues (many of which aren’t personal experience but refer to other people’s articles) but they are right in their claim.
Finally, the last thing I liked and gave me the warm and fuzzies is that I gave them a list of things I wanted to see them do differently and they immediately got to work on it. I had a lot of things to say about their landing page being a little misleading – wasn’t their intention but they saw where I was coming from once I brought it up.
I also asked them to make it so that in the future they provide that data to all users. How awesome would it be to know which part in your book most people stop reading? Or how your book compares to others in your industyr for completion rate? They said they’d get to work on providing that. That alone would cause me to put up my fiction in their system because there is no other way to decipher this…and as you know, I’m a big number geek.
Ok Dave. I have submitted a Manuscript of my Kindle book on Inkitt. But question is – Does submission on Inkitt vioalate or negate KDP select program? I cannot seem to find an answer anywhere!!
Yes how does that work? i already have my story up in kdp… can i submit that to inkitt as well?
well I submitted mine anyways. and guys from inkitt dont seem to be responding as well. I should have just submitted half of it instead everything. Mine is non fiction you should just submit part of your book there and tell them
” if you want to see the ending head over and buy this book”
Anyways can you tag dave he’s not responding and I could not see anything on google as well. I dont know how to tag on this thing
Hi George, Inkitt only works on Fiction, not non-fiction. I had that in the list of requirements but didn’t have it in the chart. I’ve just updated the chart to reflect that so as to make sure that isn’t confusing. As for violating KDP Select, yes, submitting to other markets violates KDP select. They specifically say no other markets or found anywhere else…even on your own blog.
I see…Thank you for clarifying man
….it’s a scam. Hard to admit you’re wrong about something, I know. But the place is a scam. They don’t get anyone a publishing deal. This “publishing deal” amounts to them self-publishing your book for you on Amazon. Then they shop it around to agents. Then they take some of the money, *if* you get any.
You basically wind up paying these people for stuff you can do yourself. Did you even read the link I put there? Of course you didn’t. Hopefully, other people will see this and see the light.
Why should I give them my book so they can give it to agents, and then I have to pay them part of my royalties for that? It’s b.s.
You can give me a long, rambling explanation, but the fact is, you are wrong. And given all the otherwise valid information on this site, it’s sad that you’re promoting a scam that rips off and hurts indie authors rather than actually promoting us.
Are the sites and services listed only for Free or Discount promotions. Can we submit our books at full retail or are their other sites for that

Stay away from this guys Fiverr deal. I purchased it the other day and it was a waste of $15.
Your post is misleading in that you mention the job is to all of your social networks, it’s actually $5 each…Facebook, Twitter and Pintrest… not a deal breaker but dishonest.
The 3 Facebook groups you posted my eBook in had NO LIKES other than yours and mine (you forgot to like of them BTW) and your buddy said something like “living the dream”, whatever that means. After looking through some of the profiles I realized they were fake. In all fairness I only looked through 5 profiles…could be a coincidence although unlikely.
The Twitter post got 12 re-tweets and 6 likes. No complaints here.
The Pintrest post was Spanish! I didn’t happen to read that in the fine print. My book is clearly English so the Pintrest post did nothing for me.
To the author of this article: This fella is downgrading your quality, I’d remove his comment. Your article is amazing and packed full of good, rich information, hate to see other visitors step in his crap.
“The Pintrest post was Spanish! I didn’t happen to read that in the fine
print. My book is clearly English so the Pintrest post did nothing for
me.”
No it wasn’t, it was in English.
Our Pinterest address is Spanish because we are based in Spain but our audience is mainly from the United States, as you can see in the analytics below…

Will do!
I got burned by these guys too and I got their Fiverr listing removed.
In retaliation, Mark Watson left a 1-star review on my book on Friday.
Everyone in my company has reported this guy and Amazon will be taking care of this Monday.
A complete waste of money and big messy hassle.
I am SO glad Fiverr removed their listing – DON’T BE SWINDLED BY THIS FIVERR SCAMMER.
I have all of my proof.

Title ICE
(Amazon Review Count 1,560)
ASIN For January, Using Kindlepreneur selected promotion sites.
Units Sold 1,344
Units Refunded 3
Net Units Sold 1332
Kindle Edition Normalized Pages Read* 1,061,328
That adds up to about $11,000 a month, including the Amazon Prime Reading bonus we receive over and above. Kindlepreneur…use it. Do not waste your time with non-sellers comments. If they do not have a minimum of 1,000 reviews on one book…they know nothing.
which one is this for?
what is the site? there is not book promo on the site you mention.
I use them all.
Can you please narrow that down and suggest just one or two more to try and I will start there. I have only one Erotica Short out, published yesterday with zero sales. Last night I paid $14.99 for Erotica Everyday and booked a free promo on Pretty-Hot.com.
Okay. So, the major players likely won’t take that for two reasons: short and erotica. However, there are smaller one that will welcome with open arms. Go through the list, book what you can. Give your book away, make sure you’re on kindle unlimited. You’ll get reviews and will be paid for this readers taking it kindle.
For the big time players:
Bookbub- it has to be a hit, have a lot of reviews. A track record. I did 75,000 copies in two days on one bookbub drop.
E- reader news: $30-600+ copies
Choosy bookworm
Fussy Librarian
Good reads
And on…..
This site does a great job of listing at top.
Don’t forget Fivver.com. Tons of book promotion for $5.00
I checked the book on Amazon. Drop the price to .99 or offer it free. A lot of readers will take it kindle ulimited and you’ll make about .050 a page. That adds up when you start hitting 100,000 pages or more. Get it into the categories where a handful of sales make it a bestseller. Do that by mining down in erotica for instance. If you can find sex with sixx after six, take it. Yeah, only motley fans give a, whatever, but damn, get a few hundred sales and then to off to the bestseller races.
YAY! Thanks for this! I’m going to give the free sites a try on my next book free days and then hopefully someday I can move to the paid sites 🙂 Great resource!
Awesome…a good place to start 😉
Nice! Thanks in advance.
Hi Dave – don’t forget your pals at Self-Publishing Review have an “indie books” BookBub-style service, no gatekeepers, all books welcome! Proven 100% over 2 years. http://www.selfpublishingreview.com/spr-bestseller-book-packages/
It’s a great list for sure, most of the genuinely good ones are on there. Although I’d also add InkArcade to it, it’s a really nice site… http://inkarcade.com
You may want to downgrade BooksButtrfly from “awesome.” A lot of people have had problems with them lately.
Robin Reads is another paid service
One Hundred Free Books is free and paid
Ebook Hounds is paid
Fussy Librarian is paid
Book Barbarian is paid, SFF only
I’ve had a lot of success with ereadernewstoday, but they are a paid site, not free as indicated in the list. Here’s the link for their prices, based on genre. http://ereadernewstoday.com/pricing/
The above listing are good collected and thanks for sharing.
Awesome and glad you liked them – took a LONG time to collect and test many of them and I have scheduled quarterly checkups on all to makes sure they are still legit. Will keep it up to date 😉
readper offers free posts for authors, along with newsletter and Twitter promos. Contributions of $5 or $10 accepted, but not required. http://readper.com/authors/
Just want to add another one to this list that I came accross: http://creativedesignerswriters.com/
Adding another to the list: http://www.kindkindle.com
Excellent list here. https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/22633f1189608fc77769385b1a318aeb616e2bcbd7841e0ca942e16ae41f9987.jpg
You can get huge traffic from social networks because people wasting time on social networks so promote your book on correct social networks.
I used this guy to promote my books and got a massive results.
http://www.fiverr.com/fastsolver
Frankly, I find FREE BOOK PROMOTIONS IS DEAD. It use to work but no more.
So can you or someone provide a list of sites where I can promote my PRICED books at $2.99 and over? My books are mostly $2.99 (so I can earn 70% royalty) and of the sites you mention the only ones I found offering promotions for priced books is http://www.kindlebookreview.net and bookbub.com
So which other sites help promote books priced at $2.99 and over?
pop over to my webste http://www.ilikeebooks.com/submit I just looked at your book and would love to try and help promote it for you
I totally agree, I want to be able to promote my $2.99 product. If you have any new proven techniques, please share.
Thanks, Dave – uber useful post and so well researched (as always) I appreciate you!!
Awesome and glad you like it!
Do you know how awesome you are?! This list is amazing and I am super grateful you show us the pricing, which saves us tons of time! Also, your KDP Rocket program is DOPE! You are seriously helping all of us succeed and thrive! Thanks Dave!
Haha..thanks Tristan. That means a lot to hear and glad you’re loving KDP Rocket 😀
Thoughts on Bookbub?
Really hard to get accepted now, and the ROI isn’t as good. Same goes with their ads.
Great info Dave. Thanks ever so. 🙂
Absolutely and any time. 😀
Great list and I’ve had great success with your free and paid list on my previous two book launches. I’ll be using your lists for my upcoming book launch too! BTW, one fantastic service I didn’t see listed and has had massive success for authors is Buck Books. Reach out to them on Facebook or via the web.
Awesome Jonathan and glad you’re liking it. Funny I forgot to add Buck Books to the list. I’ll get that up there soon.
Perfect timing! Exactly what I need right now. Thanks a lot for your hard work Dave. Much appreciated.
Thank Thibaut and no problem. I had someone ask me if my writing was still useful even if it was 1 year+ old….I’m on a mission to make sure that ANYTHING I write and publish will always be updated so that I can respond emphatically…”YES”

Thank you David Chesson! I have an additional question. It may addressed on a post on your site already, please direct me there if so. I have two kindle books. One is currently KDP Select, so I can pay for keyword advertising. The other book is not in the KDP Select program. 1. Do you know if you can still advertise on Amazon somehow? 2. If not, would you recommend Google Adwords? Or, what is the best way to do PPC marketing that you’ve found? My KDP Amazon ads have been very beneficial, but it seems I cannot run them if I do not commit my book to the KDP Select program. When you have time, your answer will be super helpful. Also, I have purchased your KDP Rocket software and am loving it. For anyone reading this, I’ve tried multiple softwares and this one is my favorite. Thanks! -Micah Brooks http://www.micahbrooks.com
Hey Micah, I’m glad to hear that! So…let’s jump in: 1. Last I heard, it’s still only KDP select…which is sort of a bummer. 2. The best return on you ad buck is where you direct them to your email capture landing page. To send someone straight to your sales page from a click ad usually has very low ROI. But if you do decide to do Adwords, make sure you are targeting “buyer” words like “Books like Ready Player One” or “Best Sci Fi military Books”…these denote that the person typing in those words is looking for another book…they’re ready to buy. So, get your book #1 and you’ve got a chance.
Also, it doesn’t have to be pointed to an email capture page. One tactic I’m looking to try out when I write my epic Sci Fi military book is to also write a blog post that is the “Top 5 Sci Fi Military Books” and add mine as the 6th saying that if you liked those five, then you’ll love mine. Then I’ll pay Google Adwords to direct people to that article (very low competition, so low cost per click).
Just a couple of quick thoughts.
