I just wanted to give a shout out to Booktastik. This is my first time using them to advertise my free book, and man....are they worth it! For only $10.00USD they boosted my book so well that in less than one day I've had over 900 downloads...which is a LOT for me.

If anyone out there is advertising their free book, I highly recommend using them, they are fantastic.

None of my books have ever climbed Amazon ranks before, and today, my book, The Wheels of Change has hit #2 in one of its categories, and #5 in the other category. Unbelievable. Wow. And I still have a whole day yet for downloads. I can't wait to see what the end result is.

Thank you Booktastik!

Do they advertise only free books, or are bargain books and full priced books available for advertisement as well?

Congrats on the success btw

I have a promo set up for Friday, 6/26, and can't wait. It's for the New Release deal for Black 21 (May 2015) for 2.99. Dionne Lister is super nice and very prompt. Paid $5.

I hate to burst your bubble, but I have a strong suspicion that the site didn't produce all of those downloads. Your book may have been featured elsewhere, like EreaderIQ or just on Amazon in places. I wouldn't be surprised if the site's audience consisted entirely of 900 subscribers, and I'd find it hard to believe that all of them went and downloaded your book.

Thank you, Nancy! I found yours and did the same. I would have RTd mine earlier in the day, but...well, I posted a heartfelt reply to another tweet on today's big decision early this morning, got a whole bunch of favorites, and decided it would be tacky to follow that up quickly with self-promotion. I waited until this afternoon to do it.

The person behind Booktastic is also a writer and editor. Very friendly, helpful and a pleasure to work with.

I like them. Last month, while running a free promo, I used them the day before my Bookbub ad. I had a ton of downloads, pushing me to the top 1000 in the free store. By the time Bookbub kicked in, I easily went to #1 overall. I have another free day coming up at the end of this week, and I'm using the same strategy.
