The first wave of self-publishers who signed up to KDP Select have either come to the end of their 90-day exclusivity period or that day is fast approaching, and many are wondering whether to re-enroll in the program or to begin uploading to the other retailers.

In January, I featured Sarah Woodbury, who decided to stay out of Select and outline a strategy which had brought her great success in the past - making the first book of a series free, on all retailers, permanently. She also promised to come back and let us know how it all went.

Self-publisher Lindsay Buroker was recently approached by 47North, one of Amazon's new imprints. Today I have a fantastic guest post where she reveals how you can position yourself to receive such offers (and the advice is great for everyone, even those who don't want any kind of deal). Oh, and she reveals her decision too. It's not what you might guess...

Can You Self-Publish Your Way To A Big Deal?
