Was My Bookbub New Release for Less Deal Worth It?

I was super excited when Oracle of Life (The Lords' Gambit Series) was accepted by Bookbub for a "New Release for Less" feature.
But was it worth the money I spent on it?
Tune in to this video to see:
-Factors I felt were helpful in my book being selected (though not confirmed by Bookbub)
-The timeline from submission to the deal launch date
-How much I spent
-How many clicks I received/how many sales I made
-What I wish I'd known that could have made this a more successful promo

Thanks for sharing. As a small, part time writer I'm trying not to become cynical when considering the long list of people and organizations waiting to profit off new or existing writers. It's like, we spend months or years creating something new, then everyone has their hand out ready for some money. I think in olden days a publisher was more of a supporter to the author's career, while today a persistent writer has enough tools to possibly build their business up with their own hard work. I guess the trick is to always get value for money anytime you let someone participate in the promotion of your work.

Thanks a lot for this video. I have a New Releases For Less coming up, so this was really interesting.

Thank you for watching, and congrats on your upcoming featured deal! I hope you have good success with it! I think it's a good feature, I just wish I'd had a bigger backlog of already published books before I did my first New Release for Less deal.

Thanks for the vid. For some reason I was selected a few days after my release. Not sure if that's common.
