How To List Your Amazon KDP Select Book For Free Pt.1

Amazon lets you launch a Free Book Promotion on a KDP Select title. Amazon limits free book listings. You can make any KDP Select book free for up to 5 days every 90-day membership period. You can utilize all 5 days at once or one day at a time over 90 days. You can't run a KDP promo on the  first day of  your enrollment date. Here is how you set up a free promotion: 

1. Click the ellipsis button ("...") next to any KDP Select title in your Bookshelf.

2. Select "KDP Info".

3. Select "Free Book Promotion" under "Price Promotion." (Default is "Kindle Countdown Deal").

4. Click "New Free Book Promotion."

5. Enter start/end dates and click "Save" Avoid ending on KDP Select's last day.

If your book is in KDP Select and you want to run a $0.99-$2.99 promotion, you can also run a Kindle Countdown Deal. Select "Kindle Countdown Deal" from the drop down and choose dates.

Countdown deals provide several benefits, including:

1. If your book is regularly priced above $2, you keep 70% of the royalties.

2. Amazon promotes Kindle Countdown discounts on dedicated and daily deal pages.

And that's it!
