Excellent! How to use Kindle Countdown Dealsġ. If you take the same book and run two separate Kindle Countdown Deals with a different discounted price for each deal, you’ll be able to compare the results and see which of the two was the most effective price point. A new addition to the reporting in the KDP Dasboard is the ability to compare results and see sales figures and royalties side-by-side so you can compare performance. Report and compare results!Īnother great addition, especially for authors with multiple books, running regular promotional campaigns. Typically eBook royalty rates vary with anything below $2.99 only being eligible for a 35% royalty.
If you have your book enrolled for the 70% royalty option and your book is discounted for a period of time down to $1.99, you’ll still get 70% of your discounted price.
