If I were interested, I'd figure I could grab all of your books for free in a very short time. How this would translate into more sales, I couldn't say.
Yup.Saul Tanpepper said:I tried that with my shorts (had about a dozen in Select out of the 16) and tried a rotation promotion, but all I got was free downloads and little sell-through. People get used to expecting your books to go free at some time and will wait. I've given up on Select. Granted, you're trying a series and mine were distinct works available separately and in a pair of collections, but I think the end-user mentality will be the same.
I see. If there are only 50 books in our category on the free list, and our book gets downloaded while free, does that make us #51 and in the top free 100 for that category? Is it worth it to join Select to try and make that happen?You have to make the top 100 in one of your categories while it's free. Visibility happens in the popularity lists afterwards but you have to have many thousands of downloads to get visible there.
It's easier to get on the free bestseller lists in a narrow category like comics & graphic novels but it's certainly not a given.heavycat said:I see.
