Reading Time: 5 minutesOne underutilized way to promote a self published book is by utilizing Amazon’s pre-order. Amazon allows pre-orders for KDP authors (Kindle Direct Publishing), which essentially levels the playing field even more between traditionally published authors and those who have self-published through KDP. I’ll walk you through the ways to get your book into pre-order, but more importantly – let’s examine how this will benefit you.

But if you feel overwhelmed by the process, feel free to contact me. There’s a lot I can do to help you make the most of this function.
