Heard of Fan Fiction.net? E.L. James has…Need Twitter tips? How KDP Select by Amazon Equals FREE Ebooks for Readers

By the title alone, you now understand the title of my blog. Yep…my thoughts are very random and all over the place…but they do help others (at least I hope so) and they make sense (hoping again).

Heard of Fanfiction.net? Well I never had until I read a very interesting article about E.L. James’ hubby Naill Leonard, author of The Crusher. Get to know the author more through his perspective and if you hate fan fiction and possible Fifty Shades of Grey…this might soften your heart a bit. Mine has… check out my previous posts on E.l. James.

 

 

Fifty Shades of Grey is sharing those Seven Shades of Crimson with Actress Kristen Stewart

Fifty Shades of Grey…The Controversy

Click Here. It’s a very nice success story and a big congrats to both authors even though I will never read the series, sorry E.L….nothing personal….just not my type of reading.

 

Now onto Twitter… how does this have anything to do with E.L. James and her Fifty Shades of Grey fan fiction start? Absolutely nothing…kind of. If you read the article above, you will find out E.L. James got her success based on word of mouth and yes later it did spread via Twitter… but mostly it was by the physical mouth. How cool is that?!  Each success story is different and realistically not every author is going to get famous like E.L., but using Twitter in trying to accomplish that ain’t a bad thing either. Many authors will back that statement up. Tweeting about their books does help the sales and spreading the word a little. Author Richard Stephenson has a few tips on how to use Twitter in exposing your book to the world. Have a read here.

Now with KDP Select via Amazon, this does have a lot to do with E.L. James…not that she used it (at least I don’t think so), but she is tops on Amazon and  using KDP Select has helped other Indie Authors reach the top as well. How does it work…you probably already know. I am sure many, many authors have blogged about their experience(s) with KDP Select, but if you haven’t then do read this. KDP Select is not just beneficial to authors, it’s also beneficial for the readers as well. Why? Does the word FREE catch your attention? Yep, FREE.

By using the KDP Select (making your book exclusive with Amazon for three months) the author gets five (5) days to give their book away for FREE to readers. Readers like you who could definitely benefit from FREE. Likin how  I use the word FREE a lot. Ok, I promise…no more after this…Today and tomorrow my book is FREE (oh! this is why) Yes, sorry… I could not blog about many beneficial and interesting reads without throwing in the fact that my book The Key #1 of The Anna Kippling Series is FREE today and tomorrow. Check out the cover to your right…yep that’s the one. You can click on that or click here to get your FREE copy. Ok…no more now…promise. Cross my heart, scouts honor and all that.

So as a reader, you’re liking KDP now and liking the benefit of not paying for those ebooks (Like how I avoided using the word FREE…darn it!) Well now that you’ve been made aware of this wonderful, wonderful thing…how do you find them? Well here’s two places for that I can give ya.
