How to promote your self-published book for Kindle

Hi guys, usually I talk about my new book or about the ways writing can help you or a loved one discover themselves and a way to better themselves, but today is different.
I have had a tiny success with my new book "Writing for The Soul" and thought I would share my experience in how you can have a little success with yours.
First off, when you self publish your book immediately sign up for the KDP Select option on Amazon. What this will do for you is unrivaled (besides the exclusive contract you now have with Amazon, don't worry this will end up bettering you), KDP Select will give you 5 free days of promotion. Basically for 5 days out of the 90 day contract, people with Amazon Prime accounts will be able to download your book for free. At first thought yes, it will affect your sales but the potential of this is what makes it so great. When someone downloads your book for free you make a small percentage of sales still but what makes it even better is, whatever other book they may download before or after yours, will match up with your book in the "Books also bought..." section, basically advertising your book for free! So in terms of the KDP Select, do it, my book got over 600 downloads and I can tell you the affects since have been completely positive!
Now that you have the KDP Select contract this is what you want to do; get on sites that promote free books, there are TONS of them but before you list on them pick a two day promotion for a week in advance (if you publish on the 10th, start the two day promotion on the 17th), then go on these sites (listed below) and submit your book. These sites will promote your book, for free, on their site and it works out great for everyone, especially you!
Here are ten sites to use:
goodreads.com
wattpad.com
booktalk.com
writersnet.com
pixelofink.com
authormarketingclub.com
bargainebookhunter.com
freekindlefiction.blogspot.com
flurriesofwords.blogspot.com
kindlebookpromos.luckycinda.com
There are some of the better sites, so go submit them ASAP

Another thing you definitely want to do is contact book bloggers! Book bloggers are the key to success in promoting your book. Over thousands of people follow these book bloggers daily seeing the latest and greatest book they can get their hands on. The genre of your book does matter, so for finding the book blogger of your dreams, simply search "book bloggers" and go through a list of them, there are a few sites that list bloggers and sites you can find them at.
Promotion is all up to YOU, the author, if you go out on the internet and do what I have listed, I guarntee you will see positive results! Good luck, authors!
PS: Go download or buy my book "Writing for The Soul" on Amazon.com! @
