Kindle Unlimited, Freebies and Genre Sites
Published: Sun, 09/28/14
This is a site where you can post your books that are in KDP Select
and therefore in the KU program. For those of you that want to post
your books with links to books for sale at many other outlets,
we have lots of sites in the BookGoodies Network for you to post all
the links to all your books. This specific site has a specific
audience we are targeting.
eBooks Unlimited requires author registration to control who is
posting their books - i.e. Keep the spammers out. This is
currently open and free registration until approx Oct 15th or until
the bots find it - in which case registration will be put behind a
paywall and I will send an email update.
Here are the links for you to follow:
First authors go register:
http://ebooksunlimited.net/author-registration/
Registrations are manually approved so you will *not* be approved
immediately, like for instance I am going to bed soon :) I approve
registrations once or twice a day.
Once approvedyou will get an email with an assigned password that
you can change when you login for the first time. You can also fill
out some profile fields and your posts will have an author box and
link to your profile page. Profile pages will be upgraded with
more cool stuff as I get things in place but for now it's a nice start.
After you are logged in you can go to this page and submit your
books. Again, nothing is automatic, all listings are checked and
manually approved. Fill out the forms nicely and your books will
get approved and scheduled within a few days. We do drip schedule
posts so it can take a few days for your post to go live. You will
get an email when it does. All posts will go to the eBooks
Unlimited social media and to a fair amount of other book related
social media.

There is no advertising available on the site yet, we are building
traffic and following before we start to charge for advertising.
Due to the nature of the site, the Amazon affiliate program will
not be a money maker here, the last I checked signing people up for
KU was not commissionable (bummer) so the site will eventually be
advertising supported.
Fiction, Mystery and Romance Authors Special Opportunity
We have more genre specific sites that are part of the BookGoodies
Network that are focused just on readers of those genres. We are
charging for memberships on those sites to cut down on spam and
inappropriate entries and help cover operating costs. Included in
the yearly fee are the profile pages mentioned above in the eBooks
Unlimited part of this newsletter.
The sites are:
Fiction Hideaway for fiction books only (all genres) $10/year:
http://fictionhideaway.com/share-your-book/
Mystery Reads for mystery books only $10/year:
http://mysteryreads.com/share-your-mystery-book/
Romance Hideaway for Romance and Erotica only $20/year:
http://romancehideaway.com/authors-share-your-romance-book/
Registrations on all sites are subject to approval and authors
that submit inappropriate books will have their membership revoked.
If you are a Mystery or Romance writer, join Fiction Hideaway, then
email me for a code to join the other genre sites at no cost. At
this time we do not copy information from one site to the other,
although we are working on setting up a system to do
that eventually. And really you want your profile and book posts to
be a little different at each site if you can conjure up some
creativity
to do something a little more specific on each site.
By next newsletter we will 2 more sites for subscribers to sign up
for free for a limited time and will be announcing our Cover Contest
Winners!

the form with all the info and get a link to be by November 1st.
