4-Day Kindle Book Launch Email Sequence (Email Templates)

3 minute read (881 words)

Note: The 4-part email series below are just four templates — from the hundreds available — in my Instant Author Emails package. If you have a mailing list you’ve collected from your book(s) and feel you’re not fully using it for driving more sales and growing your publishing business, you may find them quite useful.

If you are launching a Kindle book and you have a mailing list, I want to give you four emails you can send to your subscribers to drive more book sales during a $0.99c book launch or Kindle countdown period.

Feel free to copy them (don’t forget to update them with your book details and your name) and send them to your list…

Better yet — you can add them to your Google Drive here.

This is the same sequence that Marc Reklau — Author of the #1 bestselling and award-winning book “30 Days: Change your habits, change your life,” sent to his subscribers.

Here’s what he said, just two days into the launch:

“…Never read a better email…”

“I bought your author emails a couple of weeks ago. I’m on the second day of the 99c launcher. Adapted the mails and translated into German and Spanish. The result: #11 in Time Management in the US, #1 in time Management in Canada and #1 in Business Life in the UK. Ok, I have a list of 4000 people but your mails were crucial for the success. One guy handles the email marketing of a big multi-national. He said he never read a better email than the day 2 mail.

“You are busy, I am busy” etc. Thank you so much.”

Email One: (Day Before Launch)

SUBJECT: A quick heads up

Ok, here’s the rub:

For the past 3 months, I’ve been in the trenches writing my latest book.I believe it can help anyone with [HOW IT HELPS PEOPLE].

Well, I put the finishing touches on it the other day.

And tomorrow it launches to the public.

But, I wanted to offer YOU a special discount.

So, look out for my email tomorrow with all the details.

This is my finest work to date, so don’t miss this.

It will be a limited time discount for under $1.

Yep, crazy, right?

Until tomorrow.
