Quick Question for my Fellow Publishers:
I have seen many authors and or publishers have a sign-up page to get updates sent via email when a new eBook is released. I was wondering if any of you have such a system in place, and if so, how did you set it up?
Right now, I publish the release of new Kindle books on our various TG community sites, but I know that a HUGE advance get our books directly from Amazon, essentially by " stumbling" on them. I was hoping to add a "sign-up" list to announce new Kindle ( and hopefully other formats soon ) releases.
Can anyone help me?
Thanks in Advance!

mailing list
I think a mailing list would be a good idea too and also a site reviewing books on Amazon from people who visit here and other fiction sites.

Writing is what you do when you put pen to paper, being an author is what you do when you bring words to life
I like this thought
A shared mailing list among online TG ebook publishers. We'll work on that.

Mail Chimp
I use Mail Chimp; I'm sure there are many others but this works for me and is very simple to set up. I have a link at the end of every ebook of mine requesting a sign-up. They click the link, it takes them to my sign-up page at the Mail Chimp site and they fill out the form. When I have a new book to release, I have already pre-designed a form and just have to fill in the details, click and it goes to the whole list. (I recommend making a tiny Test List and mail to yourself, basically, and if it's good, go ahead and trigger the whole list distribution)
Mail Chimp is free or premium, and has very good analytics to track mail opened, clicked upon, etc. They're at mailchimp dot com.
