Tuesday Tools: Excerpt Previews

Amazon has tools you can use to promote your books. While I believe Amazon keeps these things on the down low, they are out there if you search for them. If you know anything about HTML code then copy paste this:

<div id="kindleReaderDiv32"> </div><script src="http://kindleweb.s3.amazonaws.com/app/KindleReader-min.js" ></script> <script>KindleReader.LoadSample({containerID: 'kindleReaderDiv32', asin: 'B00HHMKIRY', width: '720', height: '799', assoctag: 'themascre-20'});</script>

The highlighted in red are what are flexible. For many they are obvious. For those just starting to understand HTML code...the "B00HHMKIRY" can be changed to your books ASIN. The Width "720" can be changed. For my blog I changed it to 550. I did not change the height and kept it at "799". After the "Assoctag" is your Amazon Associates tracking ID. Mine is "trolrivpubl-20" just in case you want to credit me with some affiliate money! :) Hey, I can try.

Here is what the code does and looks like:

For me, this is a cool widget I can use to promote my authors books. Show readers a good portion of the book and keep them on my website while cruising my books for sale!

ACTION ITEM: Copy the code and paste your excerpt to your website!!
