Have you heard about the Prime Day Kindle Cross-Promotion campaign? I signed up to get the word out about how to teach adults to read. We have a literacy crisis in our country, and by reading this guidebook, you can help! 1 in 5 adults in the US can't read past 2nd to 3rd grade. Business authors lower the price of their Kindle book to 99 cents, and we promote the list of discounted books to our networks. This is an inexpensive way to boost visibility and book sales. Sign up at https://lnkd.in/g-Vt3smj NOTE! Business authors can sign up until July 8th. #🥐🥐🥐🥐🥐 Robbie Samuels, MSW 🏳️🌈 🏳️⚧️ #primepromotion#adultliteracy
