5 Reasons to Create Discount Coupons for Your Self-Published Book

Discount coupons links are a great way to market your book and get attention from influencers.

Here are five reasons you should create discount coupons for your self-published ebooks:

You can provide free copies to influencers

Sending a coupon link for a free copy of your ebook to a popular author in your genre, an expert in your area, or anyone with an audience who might be interested in your book, is a great way to prompt them to write a blurb or a review, and promote you and your book on their favorite platforms.

You can do flash sales

People love flash sales, where an ebook is discounted for a limited time. Create a discount coupon link that expires in an hour and get it out on social media - you can create great buzz this way from your followers.

You can provide discounts to conference goers

If there's a conference going on that is related to your book topic, create a special coupon for the people attending the conference and post the link online, @-mentioning the conference using its social media handles, as well as including any # keywords they're using.

You can provide desk copies to professors and teachers

Before assigning a book in their class, a professor or teacher will want to get a free "desk copy" to see if the book is the right one for their students. Having a coupon link for a free copy ready to give to professors or teachers when they reach out to you can help you get your book on their class reading lists.

You can create sales based on real-time trends

If there's a # trending issue related to your book, create a coupon link with the # keyword and get it out on social media. This is a really great way to reach people interested in your book's topic.
