Help Me Make My Novel Free!

UPDATE 10/16/2012: Ordained is now free at Amazon. To see all the links you can get Ordained for free, go here. If you've purchased previously and don't have the current cover, delete and pick up again. Ordained went through additional editing last year, so you probably have an earlier edition.


So I've been wanting to make Ordained, the first novel in the Immortal Archives free for awhile, and unfortunately, I can't do that by myself. In order for it to be free on a permanent basis, Amazon needs to know it's being offered free elsewhere. It's quick and simple.
 
***If anyone knows how to get Barnes and Noble to make a novel free, please comment below, cause I haven't quite figured that out yet. But you Nook people can download the epub at Smashwords for now.***
 
1. Copy the Smashwords link, where I have Ordained set to free: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/144978
         I now have the iTunes link, so please use this one now! https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/ordainedq/id524566368?mt=11
2. Head over to Ordained's Amazon page and click on 'tell us about a lower price':


3. Paste the link and enter 0.00 for the price and shipping cost.


Voila! Hopefully it'll be free very soon! Thanks so much guys!

Unfortunately, you aren't going to get anywhere just using Smashwords. Amazon doesn't care about them. What you need to do is post it to Apple (preferably) or Kobo (second best) and then report those freebies. Both of those sites will let you post your book for free and Amazon will match Apple almost instantaneously. Kobo takes about a week of reporting. Hope that helps!

Yeah, i've got those sites being fed by smashwords so it'll take some time for the price to filter through. I have a feeling it'll take some time to get Amazon to act regardless. Thanks!
