I did a pre-publication offer 1 week before publication date and received about 250 pre-orders – more than 10% of my forecasted annual book sales. Amazon helped me by discounting my book by 50% off the recommended retail price.

Thanks Judy, as usual timely tips. I am out of the LinkedIn loop and reading your post reminded me how valuable and informative LinkedIn is. I must get back into commenting and sharing on LinkedIn. Thanks

Loved the post. Thanks. How far in advance of the book being published would you implement the pre-publication offer? I would not want customers to be upset for waiting too long for the book to be published. Also, should you offer a pre-publication discount to encourage the pre-sales?

Thanks
