Hello there, I joined the community a few weeks back and have been reading some of the posts here regarding how to build email lists of your readers so that you can sell your next sequel but I have some stand alone books published in amazon that are non-fiction. I really need some help at this point from some members who have promoted their books to get massive downloads. My goal here is to:

[list type=decimal]
[*]Get massive number of downloads
[*]That result in a few natural reviews
[/list]

Any paid service or fiverr gig that you people often use to get exposure. Please share your experiences with different services with some stats. I know I am asking for too much but believe me it will help many newbies like me.

Thanks,

Bookbub will generally get you the best results; they're also the most expensive and the hardest to get accepted by. Last week I got over 26,000 downloads on a free promotion for a novel. They take non-fiction submissions as well.

Really like the Bookbub route, but you will need to ensure that your book is highly polished (as they're tough to be excepted by).

BKnights on Fiverr is good way to get lots of downloads for a cheap price.

There's not really any way to get MASSIVE downloads other than by stacking multiple sites OR getting into Bookbub.

ENT and Freebooksy are #3 and #2 for free books.

Non-Fiction is a bit of a different beast. Based on our experience of promoting non-fiction books etc. I'd suggest the opposite of what you're doing

FIRST: get a few downloads via review sites or by handing out free copies of your book via Library Thing or Good REaders.

THEN: run a few promotions on the same day to get a high sales rank.
