Some of the websites offer enhanced listings and these seem to increase downloads by around 10%, so if you are after every download you can consider a budget for the enhanced listings.Facebook Groups for Kindle Book Promoting:Facebook works best when the book is free. I've found that groups appreciate it if you go back after your free download day and let them know how it worked for you and thank them for their help. Free Kindle Books FB group Free Bookclub Free Kindle Book Club Free Kindle Books FKB.me Free books for Kindle UK Today's free Kindle Books Free ebooks and tipsSome authors like to do a free book event on Facebook where they invite all their friends to an event and update them throughout the day. This works better when you giveaways spot prizes to people who share images and quotes related to your book. I've not tried this, it's just not my thing but two friends have done it with good outcomes.As well as free giveaway groups and pages, join groups where your target market is active. They are more likely to download and review your book. Spamming any group will not win you any friends.Promoted posts work okay on Facebook but ads for the free book can be costly, (as you are taking someone off of Facebook), and not as good value for money when compared to paying for an enhanced website listing.X (Twitter) Hashtags for Kindle Book GiveawaysAgain, something you organise for the day of the free promotion. #Amazon #eBook #BookBuzzr #BookGiveaway #BookMarketing #Kindle #KindleBargain #KPD (Kindle Publishing Direct) #WLCFreeToday #FreeKindleReadsI recommend using #free with
