Smashwords: How to Reach More Readers with Ebook Preorders

On his daily trip into the Catosphere today, Panzer stopped in at the Smashwords blog.

Our kitty explorer discovered Mark Coker has two posts about ebook preorders and how to use them to get more readers. According to Mark, books which launch using preorder have significantly more sales. However, most authors haven't been using Smashwords preorder program, so Mark wrote a post explaining how to use it. The second post explains changes Smashwords has made to the preorder launch program to make it easier and more viable for authors.

It might be too late for me.

Panzer says, "Hmmm.  I bet it's too late to do a preorder launch for Cat Wisdom for Humans since it almost ready to upload. So ... what's a cat to do?"

Note: These are two v-e-r-y l-o-n-g posts, so you will need a g-i-a-n-t cup of tea. The first post listed below makes reference to the second post, but I'd read the first one all the way through first.
