Taming Amazon discussion

Greetings, everyone.

I'm a new author who just e-published my first novel in June.

To promote it, I posted to several Goodreads groups a chance to win a Kindle Fire HD or $130 Amazon gift card for posting an honest review on Amazon. I ended up selling about 20 books the first week (with the price dropped to $0.99), but only 7 people have entered the contest so far.

I'll keep you posted on how it turns out.

Meanwhile, you can still enter at http://bit.ly/1l1LjU4 With so few entrants, you've got a great chance of winning

You might get a more traction on the giveaway if you try a little Goodreads or Facebook advertising. It's relatively cheap and can put you in front of targeted readers if you narrow the audience.

If you need more reviews after the competition, you could sign up to the ebook review group. Jim gets 5 of us together and we all undertake to review 4 books in 8 weeks. It's going well so far, but I haven't had my reviews yet!
