So here's my update on my giveaway. I did a 100 ebook giveaway with the standard payment. I did the giveaway from April 5th-April 26th which was about 3 weeks. I did all my own marketing on social media and the total I had was 737 people who entered. I spent about $110 for this giveaway and since it just ended I have not gotten any reads or reviews yet but we'll see. Overall I think it was worth it, I was amazed so many people wanted my book. Any exposure with my books to me is good exposure.

@@lizlovestowrite Nice! Thanks for the update! It took a while for me to get readers from my giveaway. I think exposure is good, and then I later, when you want to convert more sales, I think that's where it gets to be more complicated. I have a whole marketing plan I prepped that I need to try myself. Good luck!
