RE: [Free e-book] One of my favourite writers is giving his book for free (only on Saturday, April 14, 2018) -- The Vathiriel Blade by Mark Brantingham
Wow! Thanks for getting the word out. What a post! I just put up a post about it as well. It gives links to info on the book and as well as reviews. Thanks for the support. I'm blown away. This is the first promotion I've run using Steemit as a way to spread the word so it will be interesting to compare numbers on download statistics from Amazon to see what kind of effect Steemit had in comparison to promotion days in the past.
Due to your amazing support, I have extended the promotion through Sunday just to make sure everyone who wants a free copy can get one.
Let's see how many views we can get here :D and I'll also add a link to your post in mine when I see that you've published it.
I wonder too, if you have the ability to read where the users came from. Because maybe people will also come from the search functionality in their Kindles. I for one used to search for free e-books when I browsed the shop (I haven't done this for a couple years, but in my first years of having my kindle, I did use this because it's easier than googling for pirated .mobi editions)
Yes you get a detailed report telling the country of the download, and those are mostly US in my case, plus a few Australia and Deutschland, and a spattering of a few other random countries. The number of free downloads is normally pretty consistent because I'm pretty meticulous about the way I do the promotions in order to gather data, so if Steemit downloads are significant then the numbers should show that.
Ahaaa, amazing! :D I hope you'll tell me about your results when the promotion is over.
