In spite of hearing mixed reviews of what Select can do, and a lot about how it's not as good as it used to be, it seems like it's the best vehicle to get some momentum going for my debut novel. Since B&N hasn't got their ducks in a row yet, I hadn't put it up on PubIt!, so now was as good a time as any.
Here's what I'm wondering:
- Are Select books really weighted better by any algorithms, and if so how?
- Does just joining Select have any real advantages beyond the lending library and the ability to run promos?
- How soon should I run a free promotion?
- When I do run a free promotion, what's the best way to capitalize on it?
Getting the word out has been a slow-going affair so far, so I hope that a 2- or 3-day free run will drive up interest and garner some useful reviews. I just don't want to blow the promo by running it before I'm really prepared.
