Would you mind sharing your list of websites to contact when you're running a temporary sale? Thanks in advance!

Are you looking for ones that list for free or ones that charge? For example, Flurries of Words charges a 4 dollar donation to list a 99-cent book.

I'm not sure what she was asking, but I would be interested in paid advertising for "reduced price" runs that are not free. Many of us are moving away from those and the places we can advertise seem to be very limited.

This is a great question Amanda. I will be checking back.

I'm pretty sure Amanda is asking for places to 'advertise' cheap books at .99 or 1.99.

I'd love to know too.  There only seems to be the freebie sites

I know that EBL (ebooklister.net) offers paid options if your book isn't free.  They also list free kindle books.

Seems like someone with initiative could move in and start developing a site that caters to this given how many people would like to discount books, but not give them away.

At the risk of self-promo, I will say that if it's Speculative Fiction you can list is on my promo site (so longs as it's $5 or less). You can even schedule specific dates if you'd like. Posts get put up on the front page, get their own post, tweet, FB mention, pinterest pin, and go out in my daily mailing list.

Reach is small for now but grows daily and I accept links for Amazon/iTunes/Kobo/B&N.

Besides that, I've found very few other sites that allow the same.

If you meet the requirements EreaderNewsToday allows for $.99 books: http://ereadernewstoday.com/bargain-kindle-books/

Indie Book Promo will take books $2.99 and under: http://www.indiebookpromo.com/submit-to-ibp-3/

And of course the Kindleboards here take $.99 books: http://www.kboards.com/bargain-book-promo/

I subscribe to Spec-Fic Daily's RSS feed.

I also submit there when I have freebies, and will when I run promos.

I like it because it works for my genre, so I know people looking at it are people who might be more or less interested.

That's exactly what I want to know. Whether they list it for free, or I pay. I have a huge list of sites for freebies, but not much in the way of places to advertise 99 cent or $1.99 books.

I know BookBub, ENT Bargain Books promo, Flurries of Words...and that's where it seems to start to be slim pickings.

I tried this one. Don't think much came from it, but it was only 5 dollars to advertise a bargain book:

Well good evening!

Authors should check out my site MommaSaysRead.com. We offer free listings of bargain, free and scheduled free books. We are in the midst of our "soft-launch" right now, but we have received more than 15,000 visitors in two weeks. Albeit at least half of those have been authors.  ;)

Most of the author services on the site will be now and forever free, but there are also paid opportunities, in banner ads. But wait for our official launch - it's going to be huge!

Thanks,
Momma

You keep writing, we'll keep reading 'cause Momma Says "Read"!
