You’ve published a Kindle book and it’s time to promote it to your audience. Only there’s a problem…

Your visitors come from all corners of the globe!

How do you send a Canadian buyer to Amazon.ca or a British buyer to Amazon.co.uk without cluttering things up with links for each country?

Amazon has stores for specific countries.

It’s Easier Than You Think!

Let’s say your book is called “How to Win Friends and Influence People.” If you promote the book using the regular amazon.com link…

all of your customers will end up at amazon.com.

Great for your American audience.

Not so good for everyone else.

1) Copy your book’s ASIN number. You’ll find it in the “Product Details” at Amazon…

Amazon Kindle product details.

2) In the link below, replace the red text with your ASIN…

Authl.it does participate in the Amazon Associate program which means that if you or someone else wants to include your own affiliate ID, you’ll need to use a different service. Try this: http://www.booklinker.net/index.php

BONUS HACK: Have more advanced needs – like sending customers to non-book products, or products you promote as an affiliate? Check out GeniusLink.

Bottom Line Takeaway?

Sending non-U.S. customers to Amazon.com means wasted referrals. Amazon won’t thank you.

Don’t make folks “figure it out.” Many will not bother to search for your book in their local store.

Use a service like authl.it or GeniusLink for a fast, effective solution.

If you’re an affiliate, create your book links with BookLinker…
