Has anyone here ever used free-ebooks.net? I hadn't heard of them.

LynnBlackmar,

I sign all my correspondences CG, so no, I don't mind.

Endi Webb,

They make you upload copies of your books to their site. I may try them eventually and post my first book there. The thing is, they have so many books, that I think to be effective you'd have to utilize one of their advertising options, and each is about $100.

...but uploading is free.

I know Lindsay Buroker's "Emperor's Edge" is posted there. Not sure if she feels she's gotten anything out of it.

Excellent resource. It's generous of you to share it!

JRTomlin,

Thank you. I'd be very interested in sites I've missed.

Something I haven't included is blog tour sites. I checked a few of them (can't remember the names offhand), and some of them had 100K + visitors a month. If combined with another ten or more well visited sites a blog tour could create significant visibility. I'd be curious if people have had any luck with them.

No BookBub?

This is an awesome list. Thanks for posting - it'll make my promo job a little easier in the future.

Philip,

Ha ha ha! I adore BookBub! And didn't list them because I thought they were too obvious!  

 

[Lionel's Mom]

This is really awesome! I'm going to start advertising when I get my third book out, so thanks for making it easier! 

 

[JRTomlin]

No BookBub?

What I was about to ask?

It would be nice to compare their statistics.

I just went through the sign up. Since my book is permafree - not worried about where it ends up. You have to upload an actual copy of your book to them. You can upload an EPUB and MOBI if you choose, but you have to upload a DOC(X), RTF, or PDF also for them to run through their conversions. They will not accept the book without that. You also have to submit a separate cover. Once you do that you go in to "review" for an unknown period of time. That is where I am.

For now I am trying the free path through their system - but I suspect the other poster who said you need to pay them to get any real traction will be right. I will just see. I have not found anyplace on their site to check status or etc. More to come after I get more time to look through the site.

Cool, thanks will check it out

Thanks for sharing, I love reading your books! Anytime I watch the Thor movies I imagine your Loki

My daughter is a huge Loki fan and so I got her "I Bring The Fire" a week or so ago. She loved it and begged for the second book. (which I got her!)

CG, thanks for sharing your info!

MaryMcDonald,

I'm so glad she liked it! And thank you for posting a review on her behalf.

Most of my readers are 35+, it's nice to know I can appeal to a wider audience.
