Lean Publishing Tip of the Day: Signing Up for Leanpub’s Discount Promotions

One of the most important things you can do to help us help you sell more books is to opt in to our discount promotions...

At Leanpub, we do a lot things to try to help authors market their self-published books.

We do launch videos which we publish on YouTube and on social media, that our audience sees and that authors can share themselves. (You can apply for your own launch video here!)

We do long-form podcast interviews with authors for the Leanpub Podcast.

We feature a book, book bundle, course, and course Track every day on our homepage and post about them online.

We also record short, shareable new release videos, and publish Shorts on YouTube that are extracted from the longer videos.

You can also pay for (or use unpaid royalties to get) our special Marketing Packages, which include sponsored spots in our popular Weekly and Monthly email newsletter sales. (You can sign up for the newsletters here.)

One of the most important things you can do to help us help you sell more books is to opt in to our discount promotions, which at the moment mostly means that your book, bundle, or course will be eligible to be included in these newsletter discount sales at a discounted price.

It just takes a moment to opt in to these discount sales on the Pricing page for your book, bundle, or course - you can learn how to do it in just a minute here.
