Our Top 5 Blog Posts from 2014
Can you believe the year is almost over? Shelley and I have been reviewing everything we’ve done this year, and one thing I always like to look at is our top blog posts. We value our followers and strive to share valuable information with you.
One year ago today, I shared our top ten blog posts from 2013, and surprisingly enough, those posts are still rocking the charts. However, I still want to share five posts from this year that have been the most popular. This year, on our blog, we have written tutorials, hosted guests, shared tips and case studies, answered questions, and so much more.
So without further ado….
Our Top Blog Posts from 2014

In this post we shared over 15 places where you can promote your 99 cent eBook, as well as several reasons to consider a 99 cent book promotion.

We originally published this post in 2013, however we have updated it multiple times this year and it is still getting more views than practically any other post on our site and this list wouldn’t be complete if we left it off. When we first published it in 2013, it had just 47+ places to submit your free promotion, and we are now up to 76+. We’ve taken down expired links and added new ones as they come up.
