How to Market Your Book for Kindle
Writing a Kindle e-book is only half the challenge. Unless you already have a dedicated following, such as regular blog readers or an extensive social network, you'll need to market the book to garner attention and earn sales. Amazon offers your e-book visibility to a buying public, but you shouldn't limit yourself solely to its platform. Instead, branch out and make your book known to a variety of Internet "locates," thus increasing your visibility and sales odds.

Ask a book review website to review your Kindle book, focusing primarily on websites that deal with your type of content. For example, if the book is fiction, consult with fiction reviewing websites. If, on the other hand, the ebook is nonfiction related, find a reviewing website that specializes in nonfiction.

Offer free promotional copies, or a steep discount for a short period of time, which may entice otherwise hesitant buyers to make a purpose. Once your book has been read by a batch of individuals, it may be reviewed without your prompting, further increasing its visibility to other potential buyers.
