It's free to set up a promotion if your book's enrolled in KDP Select, but the problem lies in telling people about it. I got very few downloads from promoting through social media alone. I suspected that would be the case, which is why I signed up for a one-day promotion through Freebooksy and The Fussy Librarian (which is what I paid for). They promote your free book deal through their daily newsletters and their websites. It wasn't super cheap, but it certainly delivered results.
Interesting experience. How much does it cost for a KDP Select 5-day promotion?

Ah, got it. I thought somehow Amazon linked the promoters to your offer, instead of you arranging this yourself. Thanks for clarifying!
No problem!
