How to set up a free Coupon of your book for contest winners
- Scroll down to your book on your dashboard, click "Coupon".
- In the Smashwords Coupon Code Manager under "Actions", click "Generate Coupon".
- Set your coupon details and expiration (if any), set coupon discount to 100% off (free).
- Once the coupon is generated, email the two winners with their Coupon Code to claim their free book!
*Note: For BookSweeps Author Email Spotlight promotions, you'll need a BookFunnel or Prolific Works account to add subscribers to a mailing list via a free book download link, as Smashwords does not provide this service.
