Triathlon Kindle Book is #1 on Amazon!

I recently launched a free Amazon Kindle promotion for my triathlon eBook on Amazon. I did my first triathlon last year and thought I would write a book to share my training experiences with you.

As of this blog post, my book reached #1 for Triathlon books and #2 for Sports books in just 24 hours.

Some of the activities I did to promote my book included submitting to forums and directories, as well as reaching out through Twitter and Facebook. My next step is to learn how I can grow my Amazon review count.

I will launch a future blog post on the in-depth, high-impact ways you can market your next digital asset, as I test out Amazon Direct Kindle Publishing.
