Being a successful self-published author is challenging. Choosing to self-publish instead of having your book published traditionally takes much more effort on your part, yet the potential for success is there.
However, without a significant online presence to promote your book, your work may go unnoticed.
Fortunately, there are book promotion websites on the market. These sites give authors a cost-effective way to promote their new Kindle books.
Most of these sites have submission requirements for authors to complete before their book is approved (a tedious form process)
This is where KDROI enters the picture. KDROI is a third-party Kindle promotion tool that automates the submission process so you can submit your book to multiple sites in only a few minutes.
In this article, you’ll learn everything you need to know about KDROI so you can decide whether it’s right for you.

What Is KDROI?
KDROI considers itself the ultimate Kindle eBook promotion tool. It can submit your book to more than 32 book promotion websites in under a minute.
Submitting your book to these sites manually can take up a lot of time. With KDROI, you have the option to run free, permafree, and 99 cent promotions.
KDROI does the heavy-lifting for you so you can reap the rewards from book promotion websites and reach a larger audience to increase sales.
The KDROI tool was created by Wesley Atkins, who also founded the book research tool called KDSPY (aka. Kindle Spy) years ago. Read our KDPSpy review to discover how it allows authors to reverse-engineer the bestselling books in any Kindle category.
How Exactly Does It Work?
KDROI is a paid Google Chrome browser extension (and Firefox).
Once the software is installed, you’ll see its icon in your browser’s toolbar.
Step 1: Choose the Type of Promotion That You Want to Run
Before you begin using KDROI, you should log in to your KDP account at kdp.amazon.com/.
From here, search for the book that you want to promote. Click “Promote and Advertise” and list the type of promotion that you want to run. You can choose permafree or 99 cents (you can also set up a countdown deal).
After you’ve selected the promotion type, you want to run, create it, and set a start/end date for the promotion.
Now that step 1, the promotion is successfully set up, we can use KDROI.
Step 2: Access Your Book Page and Start Using KDROI
Once you’re on your book sales page, click on the KDROI icon. For this example, we’re going to use the Think and Grow Rich book product page.
Step 3: Fill Out the Required Details
KDROI will automatically fill out 99% of the information required. All you have to do is list whether your book is non-fiction or fiction, confirm your name, and provide an email address.
In the following screen, you’ll see a book description, author bio, and cover image that was auto-populated by KDROI using your book sale’s page.
Step 4: Choose the Websites You Want to Promote Your Book On
KDROI will give you a list of websites you can promote your book on.
Select the type of promotion you are running and select the sites that you want. KDROI will then submit your book on your behalf. Next step.
Step 5: Choose Your Promotion Date Range
On the final page, KDROI will allow you to set a start/end date for your promotion. Try and schedule your book promotion at least a week or two in advance. Most promo sites need a week’s notice to process any submissions.
After you’ve set your start/end date, you’re finished. KDROI will send you a confirmation email every time a submission is accepted.

KDROI is perfect for self-published authors who are looking for efficient ways to promote their book via promotion sites.
