A focused marketing campaign that drives your Amazon book sales requires a dedicated book launch site!
Solely dedicated to delivering information about your book, endorsements and any campaign bonuses.
These sites are all about the CTA (Call to Action) and encouraging active interaction with your readers and have been proven over the years to drive sales and ranking on Amazon.
Not the same thing as your main website, a book launch site isn’t a WordPress or blog site either. It is a series of pages that work together a in tandem during a short period of time in order to promote a newly published book.
A book launch used for marketing campaigns that push book or product during a 1-3 day event on Amazon and/or Barnes & Noble to drive sales up making that book one of the best sellers on one or both of those sites, and build your customer email list.

4. Gift Temptation = Tease them with a link to the gifts to preview
5. Call to Action = Tell them what they need to do to buy
6. Testimonials = Collect them ahead of time, get photos/logos, etc.
