My Kindle Select Experience Part 3

Welcome to my third ‘Kindle Select Experience’ blog.  It’s been four days since my last post. Let me start by saying that my prior comments regarding inaccurate royalties was unwarranted.  With further examination, I see that some of the purchases were for my lower priced books, thus making my total royalty less than the expected 70%. My apologies to Amazon.

Although sales remain quite slow, I’m encouraged to see a recent surge in “borrowed“ books.  I’ve come to understand that my work can be “borrowed” by Amazon Prime members and at the end of the month I will receive a small percentage of a large pot of money.  I have no idea what amount this will be, but several blogs lead me to believe it will be around $2.00 per book. This is definitely something I wouldn’t get on all other search engines (at least I think), so not bad.

Finally, I’m about to test the real muscle of the Kindle Select Program.  Effective Wednesday 4-23-14 my book “4 Weeks to Live” will be free on Amazon.  This promotion will go for 5 straight days.

Stop on by for my post-promotion blog.  I promise to share actual numbers at that time.
