#1 Marketing book specifically designed for 's KDP Select program; contains 130+ links to sites that will promote your ebook.
In March 2012 one Canadian author boldly went where few have gone before—into the land of making real money with 's KDP Select program.
This is her story…
My name is Cheryl Kaye Tardif and I am an international bestselling suspense author who earned over $42,000 dollars in March 2012 selling ebooks via 's KDP Select program, captured the interest of a major literary agency, and went on to sign with a foreign rights agent. And I'm about to tell you HOW I did all that.
I don't normally tell people how much money I make, but I believe writers need to know it IS possible to earn a real income from your books. Seriously, if I can do it, anyone can—if you have the right combination of criteria and techniques.
In this book, I'll share with you what I believe are four key elements you must have in place to see high sales. And I'll reveal the strategic techniques I used during my KDP Select promotions that resulted in earning over $42,000—with $32,000 of that from ONE title alone.
Not only did I earn over $42,000 in ebook sales, I was contacted by Trident Media, one of the leading literary agencies in New York. The chairman, Robert Gottlieb, saw my success when my one title made #4 in the Top 100 Bestselling ebooks, right under The Hunger Games trilogy. I am now represented by Trident Media Group and I have 2 audiobook deals in the works.
So, if you're ready to earn some real money with Select, let's begin…
How I Made Over $42000 in 1 Month Selling My eBooks eBook Cheryl Kaye Tardif
This book is specifically for KDP authors who are considering enrolling titles into the KDP Select program and then utilizing the program to run a free promo and/or a discounted promo.I’ve written several non-fiction books that are on KDP and recently published my first fiction book (under the pen name Liv Parker) but haven’t run any promos yet through KDP Select.
Since Cheryl has had success testing and utilizing the KDP Select program, I wanted to learn her steps for doing it well. (There are many ways to run the promotions, but some ways work better than others.)
The initial portion of the book addresses author/readers who need to be convinced that enrolling your book in Select is a good idea. I was already convinced of this and skimmed these chapters.
Most of the information I had about this topic prior to reading Cheryl’s book is from Tom Corson Knowles who has also had success with his KDP books, but mainly in the non-fiction space. The main difference between their advice is that Tom says to run all 5 days of a free promo consecutively and Cheryl has had more success breaking that up into separate 3-day and 2-day promos.
Both of them provide an extensive list of websites that will promote both free and discounted books for authors (some promote for free, some have a fee). The problem with both of their lists is the lists are outdated (some are not in business any longer) and the lists aren’t organized in any manner (other than alphabetized). I did the work of weeding out the nonexistent sites and then separating them into free, paid, and free or paid. For those that require a fee (or that only guarantee placement for a fee), I had to analyze each site. What is the cost structure? What do I get for the fee? How many people are they reaching? How many Twitter followers (readers!) do they have (and verify it on Twitter)? How many people do they claim are on their email list? What else do they require?
Cheryl suggests we expect to spend about $100 per promo. I thought that was reasonable. Then I was back to my analysis of “the list” to determine which fee-based sites I wanted to submit to and prioritize it according to who (and the number) they reach.
Many of the sites on Tom’s list matched those on Cheryl’s list (about 80%). It must have taken me about 10 hours (!) to clean up these lists and to analyze them.
There are also lists from both of them of Facebook groups (supposedly of readers, but many of these groups are authors) and Twitter handles that we might consider tweeting with our promos.
As for tweeting ourselves, Cheryl suggests using Hootsuite. I had an old account and restarted it again (it’s better now than when I first joined). She did write, however, that to use the bulk uploader via CSV file, I would need a paid Hootsuite account. (Then she wrote that she tried the bulk uploader but found the Excel form too difficult to create. Actually, it’s a CSV file you need to create and DON’T create it from an Excel file. It won’t work! Instead, use Google docs to create a “Sheet”, then do a "File" -->'" Download As" -->'" CSV". It saves on your PC but don’t open it! If you do, it will mess up. Only work on the file in Google docs. When you’re done, download it to your PC. Then upload it to Hootsuite. As long as you format the three columns properly, it should work.)
I’m doing a free promo for my first non-fiction business book and it starts in 6 days from this writing! I plan to use Hootsuite to schedule my own tweets, but after typing them up, I’ll have to manually enter them to Hootsuite.
I’ve spent exactly $100 on promo sites and entered the book to the free sites.
I think promoting non-fiction works differently than fiction. I’ll probably do the KDP Select free promos with one or two more of my non-fiction titles before doing it for the new fiction book.
There are several other ideas Cheryl writes about for the KDP Select promo days. I don’t quite understand how they work yet and need to review my notes. These include “Twitter parties”, “Tweet teams”, and various things to do on a Facebook Page (such as hosting contests, “learn how to create custom landing pages for Timeline” – I’m still not sure what that means as “landing pages” to me has meant on a website page, not FB).
This book has been helpful with many ideas to move me toward a more successful KDP Select promotion.

How I Made Over $42000 in 1 Month Selling My eBooks eBook Cheryl Kaye Tardif Reviews
I used this book and others to prepare for my first book launch and although the KDP Select program did not do much for me, I did use information gleaned from this book to get my career started! My first book "Prospect's Bible" hit the Best Seller List for its genre in less than two weeks and consistently remained there - and that's pretty cool! I haven't made $42,000 in 1 month yet but my first book makes consistently nearly $700.00 monthly with very minimal effort. In fact I haven't advertised the book very much at all and the sales keep rolling in. Not bad since I've got at least 30 more books to write in the near future. Since I didn't know anything before I started her information was priceless, of course! She explained a lot of the details you will need to know about using the program, plus her great advice chapters, like "Be a Blowfish" and "Great Things Come in Fours" makes this book well worth the investment!
Now spend a few bucks, and get on with the new career! Best of luck in your writing!
Even at $0.99, I don't think this book is worth the price. While it does offer some good overview about social media marketing and KDP select, this book is out of date. 2013 may not be that long ago, but when a manual is so heavily focused on KDP and social media marketing, it becomes obsolete very quickly. Most of the info could really be boiled down into a few blog posts (several chapters actually are just former blog posts from her website). It's not a bad starter guide to social media and KDP, but I wouldn't go there if you're looking for current info.
This "book" is a scattered, disorganized mess. She wrote an introduction and then strung together a whole bunch of old [separate] blog posts and added a conclusion. The result is disjointed and very hard to read. [You are reading her "play by play" from back when this all started].
I also got frustrated with her saying "I'm terrible at math" over and over and over again. Truly, I "got it" after the fourth or fifth time. She must have repeated it 20 times in this short ebook! Very annoying.
I did not think her writing was good - perhaps her writing is great in her fiction, but this book was really bad. There were some issues with editing as well. I felt like this book was a rip off - just a bunch of old blog posts that were not very helpful strung together to make a "book" with a sensational title to grab people's attention and get their money.
I didn't learn one useful thing in this ebook.
I am very sorry I wasted my money on it.
In January, I made the decision that I wasn't going to get an agent for my novel, RAIN ON YOUR WEDDING DAY, and that I would have to self-publish it if I wanted it to go out in the world. One of the smartest things I did was to pick up a free copy of this book before my book went free on Direct Publishing (KDP) Select.
I hesitate to say the word "book," because this really isn't a book. It's a collection of blog posts. Not that there's anything wrong with that, mind you - and I applaud the author for figuring out how to monetize old blog posts. But it does make the book a little repetitive, as you're told the same things over and over about what KDP Select is and how it works.
Once you learn to skim over the repetitive parts, this is actually a very helpful and useful guide to what KDP Select is, how you can leverage it to move a lot of product, what you can expect during your KDP Select free days, and what you can expect after.
So far, I have gotten my book into the top 20 on the free list, #1 overall in the free literary fiction list, and #2 overall in women's fiction. Thanks to the author for writing such an informative book, and I hope I do as well after my KDP Select free days as she did!
