With a feature in our newsletter, we can help you reach thousands of active readers eager to discover new authors and books, boost your downloads and sales, and increase your fan base.
An attractive advertisement including your book title, book cover, description, promotion price and links to major retailers in our newsletter.
A post on our social media pages (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram) linking to the books being featured that day.
A listing on our website which attracts 500,000 unique visitors and 1,600,000 page views per month.
For a book to be considered, it must have the following:
- Be available on Amazon.com (we also link to B&N, Kobo, Apple, Google & Smashwords, but these retailers are optional).
- At least 5 reviews on Amazon with an average rating of at least four stars.
- A professional cover image along with a captivating description to entice the readers.
- It must be free or offer at least a 50% discount. It is also important that it has not been cheaper than the offered price within the last three months.
“I sold about ten times my usual amount, so roughly a 900% increase in my sales! I am very pleased and appreciate the opportunity.”
~ Suzette Hollingsworth, author of ‘Sherlock Holmes & the Case of the Sword Princess’.
“Tremor is now number 1 in Young Adult Dystopian on Amazon. This is a testament to your newsletter and the power of your promo. Thank you so much.”
~ Ryan Mark, author of ‘Tremor’.
“1,043 downloads for the day and it hit #1 in its genre on Amazon.com, Canada, Australia, Italy and JAPAN!!! It was #3 in Amazon.co.uk and Top 10 in Germany and Brazil. This is just FANTASTIC and something that I am very proud of, and a direct result of your promotion. I hope this pleases you as much as it did me. I will DEFINITELY use MerryBooks in the future.”
~ Alexander McCabe, author of ‘The Christmas Present’.
“I'm hoping this lasts, but after I had my book featured with you guys, it's been the highest ranked on Amazon than it has ever been. It just keeps going up and up. Never have I had this much success with any other service like I have had with yours. I'm crossing my fingers that it can keep going higher so I can, after so many years of writing, actually have some success with it! :)”
~ Brandon Ellis, author of ‘The Star Guild Saga’.
"Talking To Luke," broke it's own record yesterday for downloads, and is still getting downloads today. Probably the best promo to date. So thank you!"
~ Diane Ryan, author of ‘Talking to Luke’.
