Lean Publishing Tip of the Day: Use Discount Coupon Links to Boost Your Sales
Leanpub's discount coupon links are easy to create but also feature rich.
Today's Tip of the Day is about a pretty amazing feature Leanpub provides to authors: the ability to make discount coupon links for books.
That might sound like a straightforward thing to provide authors on a self-publishing platform, but it's actually not something that even a giant like Amazon KDP provides.
One reason this kind of thing comes naturally for us at Leanpub is that we have always been motivated by author independence, and empowering authors with features they can get creative with, to increase their audience and find new readers for their books.
Leanpub's discount coupon links are easy to create but also feature rich.
- You can create discount coupons with a maximum use limit, so you can do social media campaigns like: "The first ten people to use this coupon get 50% off!"
- You can create discount coupons with a start and an end date, so you can create a campaign like: "For the next 24 hours, anyone who uses this coupon gets 25% off!"
- You can create coupons for different packages you've set up; for example, "The Book + The Audiobook"
- You can even create batches of coupons with individualized, unguessable links, for offering special deals to groups of individuals, clients, etc.
