Should You Offer Your Book For Free On Amazon?

In Amazon’s KDP program, each author can offer his or her book for free for up to five days per quarter. But not everyone should do this.

Most experts say that free promotions no longer work with Amazon KDP today.

In the past, you could make your book free for five days and then expect it to shoot up the general sales charts after the promotion ends.

After Amazon has massively tweaked its algorithms, for this reason, the free advertising days have lost most of their power.

Nevertheless, there are still cases today where it can make sense to use this measure.

You can read about these cases in my article How I increased my e-book sales at Amazon by 93.3% through a free promotion, even though I had a completely different goal.
