Great! Let me know if you need more. I have a very, very long list of them, especially those who have promoted every book I have published.

Awesome, Carole!

Here are some of the many that I have used:

You should never stop promoting because there is always networking to be done which can increase your following, and increase your chances of more reviews and eventually sales. Overall you should keep plugging away at it. That's what I've done. I've used a ton of promotional sites and have never paid a dime. Bloggers have worked the best for me. Doing my own promo events and worked some but doing promo events that are part of a particular group, especially one like this one have been particularly profitable for me in certain cases whether it's downloads, sales, reads/reviews. It's a 24-7 process. That's how you stay relevant in this industry.

Thanks! And the same to you.

Congrats, Amy!

Thanks, Theodore! I wish had known that when I talked to KDP last week. I'll definitely give it a try.

Update: Thanks again! I did exactly what you suggested. I just talked to them a few minutes ago. Author Central transferred me to KDP and they updated the kindle version to the new revised copy by 40% while I was on the phone with them. They said the update will show by early tomorrow afternoon. So I can check then for it on the Amazon distribution channels.

Lol!I know what you mean by FUBAR, Theo. Yeah, I hope so, since the print is the only one updated in the "Look inside." I do have PDF copies of the new revised version, So I already sent out a few copies to reviewers who have either reviewed one of my books before or are looking to review this one. So I can get some fresher reviews. All the reviews I have on Amazon and Goodreads are for the old copy before I re-released the revised copy this month July 2017.

Ok, I'm a little peeved because the "Look Inside" feature for the kindle version has not updated to the revised copy of my book since I rereleased it a week and a half ago. The print version updated within a day or two. But KDP tells me it will be another week before the Kindle version will update. But that they do have the update version on file and that the "Look inside" feature doesn't have any effect on the e-book version being distributed with the updated revised copy when customers buy it. In others words, they can still get the new revised 2017 copy through the usual sales channels/websites. But I'm worried that since readers do look at the "Look inside" feature first that they won't realize its the display of the old copy and hasn't updated. I thought about telling my readers that if they want to "Look Inside" that they should click on the "print book" which when I checked shows the 2017 version and to make sure when they look at the copyright year that they see it says 2017. And another thing Amazon and Kindle won't change the release date to the rerelease date. They claimed to me that they couldn't. So the revised copy is still under the old date, but weirdly enough they have changed the amount of pages numbers to reflect the revision. Maybe because it's my first time re-releasing a book and I didn't think it would be done like that.

Maybe when you get a chance to look back at it, it will be with fresher eyes and ideas. Sometimes it's better to get away from writing and take care of personal things so your mind can be ready to get back into writing again. I'm praying for you and your mom. Best wishes to you both.

I hope you are feeling better, Amy. I also used CL. She was a big help. She was such a big help I have thanked her on my Acknowledgements page of the rerelease and revised copy of my book.

Liked, Ellie!

I love to hear your take on things, Carole. Very interesting.
