5 Ways to Promote your Kindle eBooks with YouTube
A Quick Guide by ZeroFatz (aka Kam Jennings)


Okay so you just released an eBook or two on Amazon and NOW you are trying to figure out how to promote them.  It’s a good question and I think it’s one that everyone who is serious about making money from kindle publishing should think about.

In the world of promoting and marketing in general, you cannot ignore free, easily measurable, scalable, and branding power.  All of these things can be had with YouTube.  This is not like other social networks.  It is more.  People do not come here to network and socialize; they come to be entertained and to learn.  That makes the people who are making videos entertainers and educators, both of those roles lend themselves to celebrity and authority, titles that have always proven to generate more sales.

So how can you utilize the power of YouTube to promote your Kindle ebooks?  I have put together 5 simple methods that are sure to generate more sales for you indefinitely.

In this quick guide I will be covering:

• Implicit Vlogging 
• Live Reading
• Premise Discussion
• Title Discussion
• Walk Through


1. Implicit Vlogging

What is it?  It’s the idea that you will create a series of videos around your eBook.  You would talk about the creation process of it.  One video could be you talking about how the writing came together, what inspired you to write it, or the story of why you are having it written.  Another video could be the story of the cover process, while a third could be the story of the editing.  You could strategize a series of these short videos around your book and every single one should have a link back to where your book is being sold.

The goal is to create legend and myth around your eBook.  You are essentially working to make it more than what it is.  Also these videos will live on long after you have moved on to the next book, working 24/7 for you promoting that eBook.


2. Live Reading Event

What is it?  Essentially you will do a reading of your book on a Google hangout.  What you want to do here is release a 2 or 3 simple videos letting people know you will be doing this reading via Google Hangout on (pick a date).  Each promo video as well as the google hangout video will also feature a link in the description back to your eBook for sale.  

Again the goal here is to brand, bond, and build authority with your audience and potential customers.  

3.  Premise discussion
This one is simple.  You basically shoot a video where you talk about what your book is about and what it is based around as far as genre and general concepts.   Tell a story.  Stories are a great selling mechanism.  Make sure you link back to your book in the description.

4. Title Discussion
This is just another chance for you to tell a story.   You have a reason why you named every single book that you have published.  Here is a chance to tell that story.  Again, link in the description back to your book.

5. The Walk Through
What is it?  The Walk Through is where you do a simple screen capture video and flip to the beginning of each chapter.  There you basically talk about what the chapter is about (brief summary, you don’t need to reveal everything) and a little commentary.  Commentary can include a story about when you were writing the chapter, opinions, and stories about your life at the time of writing, anything that can relate back to the book in some way.  

The Walk Through is a great way to hint at critical parts in the book that you cannot reveal in the walk through for fear of spoiling the book.  This is a nice way to use presupposition and assume that the viewer will be buying the book.  Here again, make sure you have a link in the description that leads back to your book.


6.  Ultimate Goal?
Our ultimate goal with these videos is to build legend and myth around our assets as well as ourselves.  These videos will run for us 24 hours a day, 7 days a week.  Commercials that we got for free.  All we needed to do was put a small amount of thought and time into the front end and then go.

That’s all I got!

I’ll see you next time!
