Ebook Soda and Good Kindle did not work for me.

Bargain Booksy did decently.

The others in your first list I haven't heard of. I hope you let me know if they worked!

I must be the anomaly, Fussy Librarian got me like twenty downloads.

Bargain Booksy has done fairly well for me. Usually 4-5 times the sales of Bknights as an example.

For 99 cent sales bestebookreaderlovers, TheMidlist, ReadCheaply, and ManyBooks.net have all done very well for me.

Book Basset. Use the feature option. You get to list up to 5 books. Don't mix paid and free.

Don't feel alone. Fussy did well for me, but AwesomeGang didn't do much.

I lost money on Fussy Librarian with a $.99 book. (erotic romance)
Bargain Booksy was worth it though.

I'm doing my first OHFB on a pen name book in a couple of weeks. I'll let you know then.

Hi, Simone.

I used freebooksy (owned by bargainbooksy) for my free Fifty Shades of Tinsel, Vol. #1/Heartthrob title & was real happy with the results. Yes, the $100.00 price tag was
worth it & would use them again.
Hope this helps.

My last BookSends (used to be called BookBlast) was a $60 promo for a 99c thriller (wasn't in Select so no Countdown), sold 120 copies. 

Booksends did well for me this week, with 47 sales on a 99c countdown (that's a good result for me, the best this week so far is 51 and my best ever - ENT - was 80 sales). I write epic fantasy/romance.

I had a similar experience. Fussy Librarian is great!

Good luck, Simone. My promo is April 21st, so I'm watching yours carefully =)

Booksends did well for my first (and only) promo. They sent me an email, letting me know how many sold. I liked that I knew how many sales came from them, because some sales carried over to the next day. I wouldn't have known they were from them otherwise. Good luck with lining everything up!

I've been trying to get my own list going about the *best* promo sites, and I thought there was a thread on this topic somewhere. Anyone know where?

I've had some success with the big bear, BookBub,  plus BargainBooksy, FreeBooksy, ENT and KB&T

Also I received a solicitation from a promo service (they're popping up like flies) called TheBooksMachine. Can anyone comment on this one? 

Just did a Booksends ad on the 18th for permafree Manic Monday. Only ad I ran that day with no other promotion (FB or Twitter). 613 downloads. Only problem: no sell-through (8 other titles connected to that one), and 1 two-star review. I might use them for discount books, but at least my experience has been that their list grabs the free one and that's it. To be fair, I ran with them last year in April, so diminishing returns could be in effect.

Oh, and the title is action/adventure or thriller/espionage.
