How BookBuzzr\u2019s New, One-Click-Win Feature is Different from Amazon Free Day Promotions<\/strong><\/p>\n

Reviews!<\/p>\n

You can love them or hate them. But you can\u2019t ignore them. All your marketing efforts will come to naught if your readers land on an Amazon page with just 1 or 2 reviews which look like they\u2019ve been written by your friends.<\/p>\n

One way to get reviews for your book is running an Amazon free day promotion. This works well for many authors although I\u2019ve read on a few forums that the efficacy is going down over time.<\/p>\n

At BookBuzzr, we\u2019ve been playing around with a number of solutions for this problem. One of them is the \u201cOne Click Win\u201d feature on our reader site \u2013 Freado.com<\/a><\/p>\n

The idea is that a reader can get a copy of your book with just one click. This works great for ebooks since you can give away hundreds of copies at a very low cost which may translate into a handful of reviews for your book.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s how your book shows up on Freado in the prize listings section:<\/p>\n

And here\u2019s how it shows when a reader clicks on the prize details page:<\/p>\n

\nHow this is Different from an Amazon Free Day Promotion?<\/strong><\/p>\n

The chart below gives a quick comparison between the two:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Amazon Free Day<\/strong><\/td>\nBookBuzzr\u2019s One Click Win<\/strong><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Promotion is limited to only 5 days every 90 days.<\/td>\nPromotion runs until the number of giveaway copies you\u2019ve setup runs out.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Causes readers to download first and think later about\u00a0 whether they really wanted the book in the first place … hence the ratio of books read to books downloaded is likely to be low<\/td>\nSince there is no pressure of time, and since readers are limited to a maximum of 6 free books per month, readers tend to really think about whether they want a particular book or not<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
A giveaway can happen only in Kindle format on Amazon<\/td>\nYou can do a giveaway in all formats \u2013 ebooks, PDF, Kindle, even paper backs<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Amazon does not share the names of people who download your book. This means that your 10,000 downloads are nameless, faceless entities with whom you cannot follow up.<\/td>\nWith BookBuzzr\u2019s One-Click Win feature, you can build a relationship with your readers and follow up with them for reviews or feedback.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

This feature is available only for subscribed BookBuzzr authors.
