Fast, easy and professional
How our daily deals newsletter works—and what you can expect from HotZippy.
Daily deals newsletter
Authors schedule the day their book should appear. On that date we add your title to our daily deals newsletter and send it to readers—one focused send, on the day you choose.
Quality assurance
Listings are hand-checked before they go out in the newsletter. If we make a mistake—we'll make it right.
Fast, easy and professional
Fill out our intelligent form, complete your payment via PayPal, and you're all set — no waiting for approval or invoices. Your book details are saved to your CraveBooks dashboard.
New author & new release friendly
New author? No reviews yet? No problem. HotZippy approves your promotion by the quality of your book — not by how long you've been around or how popular your titles are.
Promote again when you're ready
Some sites make you wait months between runs. With HotZippy you can book another daily-deal slot when it fits your schedule—no arbitrary long lockouts.
No excessive pricing
Created for the sole purpose of providing affordable, budget-friendly promotional alternatives. We keep overhead as low as possible while maintaining quality authors appreciate.
