1. Kindle selects a 90-day traffic plan:

Let us begin with the first traffic strategy.  About 31% of e-book sales in the Amazon Kindle store comes from self-published books. When people publish their Kindle book, they can enroll their book in the ‘Kindle Direct Publishing Select program’. By doing that the book is exclusive in the Kindle Store for 90 days and it also is included in Kindle Owners’s Lending Library, where targeted readers in thousands, could borrow the book and read while also running a free promotion for a paid e-book for 5 of the 90 days.

Kindle books can be used to drive traffic to the blog or landing page either by linking your website directly inside the book or by using a free giveaway. The strategy can rake up 200 extra visitors to your site within a month and with the right call-to-action (Free giveaway, download a sample, look inside), you can even fetch 300-3,700 visitors a month. And if the book is free, expect 1000+ visitors to your blog in 7 days or 6,500 visitors a month.

TIP: Rank your e-book higher and attract the attention of your audience in search traffic through free downloads.

2. Create viral content:

Creating viral content is not a child’s play. Bloggers need to pay special attention to the sites that successfully create viral posts. Three secrets constitute a viral content creation to increase blog traffic and they are
