How to make sure your book is the right price on the day of your promotion :
Below, we will show you the couple of ways to change your book’s price through Amazon’s KDP dashboard. More details on how to change your price on other retailers can be found here. We do not change the price of your title. You must do this yourself.
Changing Your Book’s Price
1. Log in to your Amazon publisher dashboard at https://kdp.amazon.com/
2. Click on the price of the book you want to promote.
3. Change the royalty rate as necessary. If you are discounting your title below $2.99, you will need to have the 35% royalty rate selected.
4. Type in your new price.
5. Scroll to the bottom and hit save.
Setting up a Kindle Countdown Deal
1. Log in to your Amazon publisher dashboard at https://kdp.amazon.com/
2. Hit the “Promote and Advertise” button next to the title you want to promote.
3. Under “Run a Price Promotion” select “Kindle Countdown Deal” and click the “Create a new Kindle Countdown Deal” Button.
4. Enter the dates on which you would like your countdown to run and select how many price increments (1 or 2) and what price you’d like your book to start at ($0.99 or $2.99). Click “Continue”.
5. Double check that your scheduled promotion looks good. Click “Add promotion”
You did it! Your book will now be discounted on the days you selected!
