Table of contents About this bookThis on-line textbook introduces many of the basics of formal approaches to the analysis of social networks. The text relies heavily on thework of Freeman, Borgatti, and Everett (the authors of the UCINET software package). The materials here, and theirorganization, were also very strongly influenced by the text of Wasserman and Faust, and by a graduate seminarconducted by Professor Phillip Bonacich at UCLA. Many other users havealso made very helpful comments and suggestions based on the firstversion.

Choose your launch date and then upload your book to Amazon Kindle 1-2 weeks before that date. There are a few reasons why this is important. Firstly, you want give yourself enough time to download your book and make sure it is formatted correctly. If you notice any formatting errors, you have time to fix them and upload a revised version of your book. Secondly, you want to give yourself enough time to collect some positive reviews (Step 4) before your launch date.
Reach out to your personal network (friends, colleagues, other authors, etc.) and ask them to download and review your book. Having a few reviews for your book helps it get more downloads during the free promotion period (the launch) because people are more likely to download a book that has already been enjoyed by other readers versus one that appears to have not.
The night before your book launch, I recommend increasing the price of your Kindle version to an amount that is equal to or higher than what you plan to eventually sell it for long term. This tactic increases the perceived value of your book during its free promotion, which encourages more people to download it.
There are two types of book launches. There are free launches and paid launches. There are benefits and drawbacks to each strategy, but for this book, I chose to do a free launch. I chose this strategy because I wanted the book to reach as many people as possible, and I was willing to forego royalties from paid sales to make this happen. Also, since I featured several people as case studies in my book, I wanted those people to be able to invite their audience to download the book during the launch without asking their audience to buy it. I assumed their audiences would be more receptive to a free gift than a sales offer.
On Day 3 I kept posting on social media about the book. I remember sharing some screenshots of the book climbing the bestsellers list to help entice people to download a book that lots of other people were already downloading. That was about it. By this point I was relying mostly on organic downloads from Amazon customers who were looking at books in my categories.
On the 5th day of the launch (February 25) can you see that there were both free downloads and paid sales. This was transition day, so technically speaking my free promotion was actually 4.5 days long. On Day 5 of the launch, I sold 155 copies of my book, and the day after that I sold an additional 97 copies before increasing the price to $2.99 on February 27.
The lowest I can price my book on Kindle is $1.99 at 35% royalty and $2.99 at 70% royalty. Is this new since you wrote this? If not, how did you get around it for the purpose of pricing at .99 for family and friends to download during the period where you asked for reviews?
Quick question for clarity: You said that during your pre-launch phase, you sent a request to 30 friends on FB and asked them to download your book and leave a review. How were your friends able to download your book before the launch? It is not available on Amazon until the launch day, correct? How could they leave you 5-star reviews on Amazon? 2ff7e9595c
