I have recently found a new website called Instafreebie where an author can set up a book to be gifted to her readers and fans
without actually having to make it free on Amazon, Kobo and the other venues.

I love this because it means that I can single out some of my friends
and followers and give them a special treat with very little effort.

Or when I write a newsletter and want to give my subscribers a free read
for being faithful, it’s very simple.

There are many times I’ve wanted to make this type of gesture but if the
book is listed everywhere, it can be a battle trying to make sure it becomes
free for the days you particularly want it to be. And if it’s everywhere, we
all know you have to get Amazon to price match so it will be free on that
venue. And… that isn’t easy nor is it a quick change. Sometimes Amazon can stall
for days.

Recently, I’ve been involved in a lot of Giveaways and my subscriber
lists have doubled and then doubled again. To be able to keep those friends
opening my newsletters, it’s a good idea to have a gift for them. This is a
perfect way to do that.

I also have a lot of “Followers”, “Friends” and “Likes” on my Twitter
and Facebook pages and I think it’s a nice gesture to be able to tell them they’re
in for a treat. Then put a book on Instafreebie and pass out the link.

There’s a bit of method to my madness – I’m always hoping that if they
get one free book from me, just maybe they will like my writing enough to go
looking to buy some of my other books. According to many of my reviews, the
readers often say that this was the first book they read by Mimi Barbour but it
certainly won’t be the last.

Now that is music to my ears. ¸¸.•*¨*•♫♪

And… it’s worth giving away a free read.

On the other hand –
if you’re on the opposite end of the spectrum – A Reader – Oh great one!!!~sending love xoxox – then this is also a
great place for you to go to find free books from some wonderful writers.
