Book Bub: Advertising Books
Book Bub is another way to advertise and has amazing results.
One thousand follows seems to be the magic number for advertising on Book Bub
What is Book Bub?
Book Bub is used by authors to help sell books and to advertise. Rumor has it, I have no facts on this, that an author needs 1,ooo followers in order to qualify for their advertising. Book Bub works a lot like Goodreads. If you want to read more about them, click on the link in the first sentence.
- Book Bub sends out emails to all followers when the author has a new release or a discounted price.
- This is a free serves that helps readers discover books they might love as well as books by favorite authors
- Books are not sold on Book Bub. If the book has a reduced price or is free, it is changed by the author or publisher.
