Perma Free Amazon Books: Build buzz for your books, brand and business with Amazon Ebooks

Regardless of whether you have a real life local business - offer professional services to the public (or a specific niche, market, vertical or industry) you’re an online newsletter publisher, want to add new life to an old blog, sell physical products via an Ecommerce platform like Etsy (or your own branded site and store) - the magical but mysterious “forever free” book strategy on Amazon will give you immediate access to a much wider audience - 100% for free - without gurus, gimmicks or buying expensive ads.

Step 5: Check email for updates from D2D

Within a few hours, you’ll start getting updates letting you know that your book has been published, for free - at various book marketplaces around the world, and the web😊

Step 6: Check links to make sure your book is live

Note - you may want to wait until the book is “live” and showing a “$0” price on a bigger name platform - e.g. - Apple/Itunes - Barnes and Noble, etc - in my most recent permafree book (”a Tiny book About Big Love) - the Amazon KDP rep asked for a live link to Apple/Itunes - before they would agree to price match/list the book free on Amazon marketplace. (the next step)

Step 8: Get your book ASKIN from Amazon

This is on the live Amazon book listing at the very top (it’s like the product SKU for your book)
