I'm going to enroll the first book of my paranormal series (Give Me Forever) in KDP select. Currently it is available as an ebook on KDP, Kobo, iBooks (through D2D & it's also on page foundry & Scribd), All Romance Ebooks & B&N, and in paperback at Createspace (which makes the paperback available at B&N & all other sites Createspace works with).
I just delisted it on all sales channels except KDP & Createspace. If I enroll in KDP Select, is it ok that the paperback is on Createspace. I'm assuming it is, I just want to double check.
I'm doing this because this book hasn't been selling. The other books in the series sell moderately and mostly on Amazon & B&N, but they are also on Kobo & AllRomance and I will keep them for sale on those sites. My other books not related to the series sell well and my newest release (which is my only book currently enrolled in select) is selling well and doing well in Kindle Unlimited.
My goal is to do free days for Give Me Forever in hopes it'll sell more of the rest of the series and get people into the series before the 5th book is released this fall. I'm also hoping to get more reviews, but my main goal is to attract new readers and hopefully they will buy my other books, even the ones not in my series.
For those who have done free days in KDP select, how did you choose which days you offered the book for free? Did you do a few days in a row or split it up? Also, did you contact any websites or blogs beforehand to let them know the book would be free? If so, any particular ones I should make sure I contact?
