Some Great Resources for E-Book Publishing and Marketing

My Facebook friend and fellow writer, Linda Bonney Olin, has created some excellent resources for indie authors on her website at http://www.lindabonneyolin.com/resources/ .

I’m particularly impressed with Linda’s Excel spreadsheet for promoting your KDP Select e-book on “free” days, which comes with lots of great links to websites and Facebook pages that will help promote your free book, as well as tips on how to go about promoting your e-book on KDP's free days, and instructions on how to use the spreadsheet.

Linda has given me permission to share her awesome resources, so here are the links. Thanks so much for sharing your work and skills, Linda!

  1. Jodie, I hope my experience with Songs for the Lord gives your readers a head start on creating and promoting their own Kindle books.

    Even if you have a publisher or a hired formatting service, a little extra knowledge might help you evaluate the quality of the product they put out for you.

    Blessings,
    Linda
