Starting August 1st, my downloads on Smashwords of my free ebook, The Silver Collar have shot up by over 1,000 downloads! This means that somewhere, my book was listed in a spot that people saw and clicked. But where?
I posted it on four different book-posting sites in July:
Visiting each of these sites, I discovered that getfreeebooks.com posted my book on August 2 as a new title! http://www.getfreeebooks.com/?p=8525
As a side note, posting the date I submitted and the link on my OneNote Notepad is the only reason I was able to discover this link. It was a simple date, 7/8, but I was able to figure out which might have been my big win because of the note!
Big enormous thanks to getfreeebooks.com for the boost!
