I priced my debut Indie novel, Carpe Bead 'em, at 2.99 because it is 75k words, and between the 3.99 and .99 debate. It felt good. It's been a week since the release and I've sold over 100, so I'm pretty happy with it.

Wow! That's an awesome first week at any price! Congrats Tonya!

Really I was surprised, but not sure what a good number was. I was just happy that ONE person wanted it....It definitely put a fire under me to get the next one out quickly.

Another question about price. I was thinking when the next one comes out, on a month, that I should drop the price of the first one. Has anyone done that? If so, does it help with sales of both?

Tonya - AWESOME sales! What's your secret? As far as the next book goes, you could drop the price on the first one... BUT I think tier pricing works best with a series.

LOL! If I knew the secret, I would tell it. I have nooooo clue. I tweeted it, facebooked it, and I'm always hanging out on the boards. I have two grogs that have a great following.
The Writer's Guide To E Publishing http://thewritersguidetoepublishing.com/
And
The Naked Hero http://thenakedhero.com/
I believe in paying it forward, so I do take time to get to know the people who respond to my blogs...maybe that's it...not sure. But I sure hope it continues.

What do you mean tier?

Sorry, I am not sure how to 'Quote' another reply yet, but can I just ask a question of Tonya?
You say you tweeted and facebooked and hung out on the Boards which you think may have helped your sales. is there somewhere on the boards then where you can 'advertise' or self promote your works?
I have done the tweet and facebook thing and am just about to start my own blog too, but anywhere else you can point me in terms of promoting myself would be fantastic. As i say, I am brand new to this so really dont know where to start.

No, I don't self promote on the boards, but I do pay it forward. I buy other indie books, invite authors to promote on my grog or do a guest spot. Plus a little PR buddy doesn't hurt either.
