I've just published the second book in a series (still vibrating from pushing that publish button!) and now I want to send out my newsletter to the people who've subscribed to my "new release" mailing list. It's a very short list - about twenty people have signed up so far. I plan to make use of my Select free days to make the first book in the series free, but for the newsletter, my gut feeling is that it's better to say "To celebrate this release, I'm giving away free copies of the first book in this series. Please let me know if you want your copy
" and send these individually to anyone who responds.
Or am I wrong, and would it be better to do it via Select, and put the following in the newsletter: "For the next x days, the first book in the series will be free. Click here..." etc.
Is there any significant advantage to getting them to download the free copy via Select free days, rather than just sending them a copy direct? Or am I just fussing about nothing here?
I've never made a book free through Select before and I don't know how likely there is to be a mixup - e.g. I send out the newsletter and the book doesn't go free for the right period of time.
