A few spots are taken now, I would imagine this will be at max capacity in a week so get in now if you want to do this. We will all be sharing on social media so it will be a great way to boost your freebie and driving mailing list subscriptions!
15 on the list come from here and 15 from another board. 30 great FREEBIES will be in the newsletter; meaning 30 people boosting your book (and catalog's) signal!
popping to make sure we have a ton of free shifter books included so that everyone benefits!
If you have a permafree Kindle book or you have a book you can make free on the 9th and 10th, let me know and I will get you in the newsletter and get you some FREE promotion
Shifted Sheets Promotions has been in business a year now doing the odd promotion here and there for authors. Currently I've decided to launch a package deal but would like five people who write Kindle Paranormal Romances to be test subjects and give me feedback on the service before I launch it.
What I need from the test applicants:
URL of your Kindle Paranormal Romance book
Instafreebie link for the same book
What test applicants get:
Book will go out to over 400 Reviewers that read nothing but PNR. They'll get the cover, blurb, and link to where to download their free copy and a link on where to leave their review.
Book will also go out in Shifted Sheets Friday newsletter (to 4500+) to promote it. Typically books listed here are free or 99cents.
I will then email the author the number of clicks their book received as well as the Amazon Affiliate number of sales shown. (I cannot track KU downloads if your book is in KU)
After two weeks I will also report back the before and after number of reviews the book has received.
This will be done for free so that I can test the service and see about how many reviews/sales/clicks authors are getting before I go live with the service.
If interested, post here first, I'm only taking five. Just post you're interested and then I'll PM you
This is for Christmas themed books of any genre to be featured in a cross promotion. You agree to send out the newsletter link to your mailing list or social media to help drive sales/downloads for all parties.
This promotion is scheduled for 11/4 and signups close on 10/21
Thanks for the kind offer, but although I have a book that meets your criteria (and is even on sale for 99¢ at the moment), I can't say the idea of giving it away to 400+ random people in the hopes that they'll review it is very appealing.
I prefer to give my Instafreebie books away in exchange for the recipient's email address for my newsletter. I also prefer to know the preferences and reliability of the reviewers who might be reading my book (e.g., do they hate books that don't have shifters or vampires? do they post a review within their promised time frame? do they post DNF/one-star reviews? is the review more substantive than "This was OK."?).
I applaud you in providing data and reports to your participants. That's a service I wish other pay-for-play newsletter services would provide.
If your book is already free then that is fine I will test you tomorrow as I've everything ready to go out for a blast. I'll PM you here tomorrow after it's done

Uncarved ran a promotion for Lucien's Mate yesterday 8/26.
Some background info:
Lucien's Mate has been permafree for almost 3 years and I've had over 60K downloads in that period of time. It's a novella and the first in a series of 6.
For August, without any promo, I've been averaging 17-40 downloads a day for LM.
Here are the stats:

So that was a nice boost for me. I've found lately that the more expensive promo sites are less effective than inexpensive sites.
I didn't check mailing list signups. Will have to check and I'll come back later and update this post.
I did not get anything but I will get you in 9/9's newsletter if you resend it.
The rest are going out today that I received. I appreciate everyone that is testing this for me.
