187 - Behind the Scenes of a BookBub Featured Deal

I recently secured my first BookBub Featured Deal! There are a few options with BookBub--ads, new release featured deals, preorder alerts, and featured deals. Featured deals must be applied for and are the most expensive and most effective--or at least, they have been in the past. Are they still effective? Let's take a look! Applying for a BookBub Featured Deal can feel sometimes like an exercise in futility. And frustration. Especially when you see some of the books that DO get chosen. Books that might have fewer reviews, weird or bad covers, or stinky blurbs. After feeling the frustration and mostly forgetting to apply, I applied for book 1 and book 2 of my beach series. I got one rejection (for book 1) and one acceptance (book 2)! I'm going to break down the expenses, what else I did, and how the numbers played out.
