Writing a novel is an enormous task, one that is satisfying yet difficult. Getting your book in the hands of readers is similarly both rewarding and challenging. With hundreds of thousands of books being written each year, marketing can be one of the most formidable tasks for indie authors. Advertising on Amazon, BookBub, and social media can bring results, but often the advertising costs overshadow the results. For over a decade, a reliable method for reaching readers is the use of promotion services that share discounted book deals with their subscribers. There are many book promotion services available, and generally speaking they all reach a different set of readers so it is often beneficial to use a variety of services to market your book.
