Bookbub is super hard to get a feature on. I'd suggest trying Freebooksy instead. Much easier to get into then Bookbub and you can get several thousand free downloads on your kdp free promo. I've done it several times and consider Freebooksy my goto for ebook promotion because you can't rely on getting a Bookbub feature.
Thank you so much for this video! I'm considering BookBub for my upcoming novel and it's been a few years since I looked at them for my debut duology, so it's super helpful to hear about such a recent experience with them. :D
Googling myself/book titles monthly and digging through the web. I also have a Google Alert on for my name/book titles and I have UA-cam search for infringed content as well. It is a chore.
Did you get accepted for a discounted and / or a free book? I have been accepted three times for two different books for a 99c deal. Two deals were US + International, one was Int'l only. A forthcoming fourth FD is US+Intl, but is Kindle only and has been accepted for 'free'. I am hoping there will be sell through to the four paid books in the series(which I will list at 99c). Congrats on your success to date Bethany.
I've done multiple free books (US + Intl and Intl Only) and have been really happy with my results every time. I haven't tried a discounted one yet, as I've had a lot of success with series sell through with the free but I'm planning on aiming for discounted options soon. Thank you! And thanks for sharing. I hope this deal goes well and you see lots of sell through the rest of your series!
Hi. Many thanks for this. My book hasn't sold one single copy! When I tried to submit to BookBub for Featured Deals, it was giving me an estimated cost of over £200, which I found to be a bit steep. Also, is it simply a matter of editing the price in your KDP account to £0.00? Apologies - I'm new to this. Thanks. X
You can set it to free days under the Marketing tab in your KDP dashboard if you are signed up for Kindle Unlimited (if you are distributing your ebook wide, there are other ways to go about this). Also check out this video (What to do if your book doesn't sell): ua-cam.com/video/eXU97EM_jxs/v-deo.html and here is a playlist for using AMS, which may also help: ua-cam.com/play/PLbpO7CSvIYsC8fG0d5dlqktLgDXb5afg5.html Wishing you all the best with your book ❤

Glad it was helpful! 😊
Thank you. I've been considering a featured deal for my picture book.
I wish you luck with trying out a featured deal - I truly love them!
THANKS so much Bethany! How did you keep an eye out for copyright infringements?

Thanks for the info! Can I set the sale to just two days?
