Thanks, Hawke. I'll probably skip them.I took a gander. They advertise tweeting your book and giving your book multiple days exposure. I'm not impressed with some of the covers I'm seeing--meaning, they appear not to be vetting writers very strictly. I find the price they're asking for is fairly steep. You can pay the same price for proven sites like ENT and Fussy Librarian.
If you use them, please consider letting us know your results.
I disagree. You're right, Amazon is where most people go but you should build your distribution network wide. Books do get banned or dropped occasionally, and if the only place you sell is Amazon, then you're out of money. Also, while they are the major source for most people, I average around a $100 a month from Google Play, Apple, and other outlets. That's $1,200 a year. Are you really going to walk away from extra sales when it's very easy to publish on other platforms and outlets?Well, as a reader, I usually only use Amazon to search for titles, and I think others do too. Therefore, it is not necessary to publish the book on a platform other than Amazon.
