Useful Links for Advertising Your eBook
Beyond the major retailers, there’s a whole ecosystem of ebook deal blogs and reader communities that will feature your book — some for free, some for a fee. Reaching out directly to the sites below is a low-cost way to get in front of readers actively looking for their next book.
eBook Deal & Promotion Sites
Ereader News Today Runs paid “Book of the Day” promotions and free/bargain listings, with a large newsletter subscriber base. Submissions typically run by quarter — check their site for current open submission windows.
Kindle Nation Daily One of the longest-running Kindle deal sites, featuring free and discounted books alongside reader commentary.
Pixel of Ink Daily free and bargain Kindle book listings, with a large, established reader following.
Inspired Reads A niche site for Christian/inspirational fiction — a strong fit if your book fits that genre specifically, less useful otherwise.
GoodReads Not a submission-based promo site in the same way as the others, but claiming your author profile, joining relevant genre groups, and running Goodreads giveaways are all free ways to build visibility with readers who are actively looking for books.
IndieReader Offers paid author promotional packages, including reviews and features aimed specifically at indie authors.
How to Approach These Sites
Most of these sites have a submission form or a dedicated email for review/feature requests rather than a general contact form — look for a page specifically labeled “submit your book,” “book of the day,” or “promotions” on each site, since general inquiries are often ignored in favor of their structured submission process. Free listings are typically more selective (often requiring a minimum review count or rating), while paid features are more accessible but obviously carry a cost with no guaranteed return.

Get Your Book Ready to Promote
Before you invest in paid promotion, make sure your book itself is ready — a properly formatted file and a professional cover make a real difference in how these placements convert into sales.
