With the perpetual tracker, you can see which applications are outstanding and need follow-up, whether you have paid your fees, and when the promotion is due to run. Track the total cost, the promotion price you have set for your book, and any additional notes. Don’t forget to track the amount of time you spent preparing marketing materials so you can pay yourself accordingly (and see it reflected in your ROI).

There are two templates: one for single and stacked promos and one for group promos.
For each promotion run, copy the appropriate template and assign your book. You can also assign up to ten promotions for stacking (see tutorial).

Don’t forget to record your book sales ranks as well as your author platform following, such as social media, newsletter, and website views.

For single and stacked promos, you can track a week’s worth of sales to know the effectiveness of your sales days vs tail-off sales. For group promos, you can track up to two months of daily sales.
