I recently ran a free book promotion weekend for one of my books. I experimented with placing a Facebook ad that reached out to multiple countries, not just the U.S. My dilemma with doing this is that I didn’t have a way to post all of the links for the various Amazon sites in other countries on my ad without it looking clumsy.
I searched for a way to create a universal link for my book. A universal link, when clicked by a potential reader, is designed to take them to my book on the appropriate Amazon page for their country.
I couldn’t believe how easy it was to do this at absolutely no cost. The site I used is called Booklinker. You can find it HERE. It’s very easy to use. Just paste the URL for your book from any country’s Amazon site in the field as shown:
Once you paste in your link and click on the button, you’ll see this screen with a dropdown menu:
You will then end up with a link that you can copy and paste:
The best thing about using this site is the dashboard. During my giveaway weekend, I was able to see how many people were clicking the link from my ad and from what countries:
I hope this has been helpful to you. If you have any questions or comments regarding your experience with creating universal links, please jump in.
