5 Ways Authors Can Make the Most of Prime Day (June 23-26)
Hello authors!
Prime Day isn’t just for electronics and kitchen gadgets. Millions of shoppers will already be browsing Amazon looking for deals, making it a great opportunity to put your books in front of new readers. Here are some things you can do to make the most of this sales event.
- Discount Your Series Starter
If you write a series, consider lowering the price of Book 1 to $0.99, $1.99, or $2.99 during Prime Day. Readers are more willing to take a chance on a new author when the entry price is low. The goal isn’t just selling Book 1—it’s introducing readers to the rest of the series.
- Promote Box Sets and Omnibuses
Prime Day shoppers are looking for value. A box set, omnibus, or collection of series starters can be an attractive option because readers feel like they’re getting more for their money. Be sure the value is obvious, whether that’s multiple books, complete stories, or hundreds of pages of reading.
- Use Your Booklinker Links
If you’re promoting your books during Prime Day, share your Booklinker links instead of a direct Amazon URL. Readers around the world will automatically be sent to the correct Amazon store for their country, making it easier for them to purchase without having to search for your book themselves.
- Refresh Your Amazon Book Pages
Take a few minutes to review your book descriptions, series information, editorial reviews, and author bio. Prime Day may bring new readers to your page, and you want to make the best first impression possible.
- Update Your Collections Page
A Booklinker Collections Page makes it easy for readers to discover more of your books. Before Prime Day, make sure your newest releases are included, books are listed in the correct reading order, and everything is up to date. If readers enjoy one book, you want them to quickly find the next one.
Bonus Tip
Don’t wait until Prime Day to tell readers about your promotion. Mention upcoming discounts in your newsletter and on social media the week before so readers know what to watch for when the sale begins.
Let me know what you plan to do.

Booklinker Just Got Easier
The Booklinker team is excited to share several improvements to make creating and updating your smart links faster and easier.
Create links using an ISBN
We have fixed the link creation issue and now you can create a Booklinker link using a book ISBN, an Amazon link, or an Apple Books link. Simply paste one of those into the space on the home page or click “New” from your dashboard, and Booklinker will find the correct book and begin locating retailer options for your readers.
More consistent store coverage
If you publish wide, you’ll notice improved retailer matching. We deployed new technology to consistently find your book across the four core retailers, not just during new link creation but also when you update an existing link. This will make it easier for readers to choose their preferred store. We’re continuing to expand retailer coverage and will add more stores in the future.
Already have links? Update them!
Your existing links are dynamic, edit them and enter the ISBN, Amazon link, or Apple Books link. Booklinker will run a fresh search to find additional retailers.
A quicker workflow
Creating multiple links is now faster. Use the “New” button to create another Booklinker link without going back to the dashboard homepage.
A quick tip
After creating or updating a link, give Booklinker a minute or two to find all available stores. If you don’t immediately see all retailer options on the landing page, simply refresh the page.
Give It a Try
This week’s challenge is simple, (and will help drive additional sales).
Log into your Booklinker account and do one (or all) of the following:
• Create a new link using an ISBN
• Update an older link to see if additional stores are available
• Review one of your Collection Pages and make sure it’s up to date
Then reply to this email and share your favorite Booklinker link or Collection Page with me. I love seeing how authors are using Booklinker, and I may feature some of my favorites in an upcoming Broadcast.
I look forward to seeing your links!
