Promoting the same ebook on fiverr and kindle

16 replies
I have an ebook of about 11k words and want to sell it at more sites than kindle. I'm sure many of you already promote an ebook on both platforms, but it would be a couple bucks more on fiverr. Is that fine with fiverr and kindle?

Any other platforms to sell an ebook? It's in the health niche

    You could get a few highly reputable health bloggers to write a post about it in return for a free copy.

    That's a dumb idea. READ: https://kdp.amazon.com/community/thr...48910&tstart=0

    Enroll in the Select Program and just use proper marketing on and off Kindle to sell your book. Doing things like posting to 5rr and such is amateur.

      I have lots of friends who write ebooks, including some who sell 100K books a month, and they sell their books on various platforms. I don't know that any of them sell on Fiverr, though, but there are a number of websites and services to sell ebooks through.

    KDP Select should be your initial option, but there are other options that can be better for your ebooks. Here are two threads about this matter:

    Are you glad you got out of Select?


    Is it worth my time to publish other places than Amazon?

    As far as I concern, Amazon does not allow you to sell your ebooks to other place once you enroll into KDP

      You are allowed to sell your books other places when you are enrolled in KDP.
      You are not allowed to sell Digital copies other places when you are enrolled in KDP SELECT.

    I recall reading about a guy who was doing this and doing well.
    However, I would suggest starting with KDP Select for 90 days. Using their features can help you kick start an audience for your books. Also you will want to use the reviews you get to tweak your book and make it even better.

    Then consider expanding to other platforms like Smashwords, Apple, Barnes & Noble etc (after your time in Select is up).

      Not the best idea here since you risk losing your KDP account violating TOS.

      Anyway here is a link to an article I read on a guy selling on Fiverr and KDP. Keep in mind his KDP Select term (where you promise exclusivity for 90 days) was over so he was allowed to sell it elsewhere;

    You can sell those on sites who can deliver instant downloadable products. Many micro job sites have this function nowadays including the site in my signature. List on as much sites as possible and you will count more sales.

      I dont think you would even get great results for your ebook on Fiverr.

      If it is a great eBook, I would set it up on Click bank and recruit affiliates to market it.

      However, with proper marketing and KDP select, you would have the best deal.

    5rr would be good place to start.

    OP -- I'd strongly consider sticking with KDP Select. Get cracking on your 2nd, 3rd and 4th books. Then use a combination of list building, Countdown Deals and free promos to build a brand on Amazon. This is a better long-term strategy than chasing after a few random sales on Fiverr and other sites.

    Amazon wants to have the lowest price available, so as long as you have the equal or higher than the Kindle price on Fiverr, they won't mind.

    If you're in KDP Select it would be a violation of their TOS - but not if you're just on Kindle.
