Seriously, I really appreciate the opportunity to get my books out there and I achieved a personal goal today as well as far as sales went. Pretty sure it helped my paid sales as well as they look better than they did a week ago. I'll just be happy if I can get feedback and reviews for the ones I did give away. :)Ariadne Waynehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340999567138606820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436915084701775452.post-32846351900323025082013-03-09T03:08:12.363-08:002013-03-09T03:08:12.363-08:00It's been fairly amazing on some days, especia...It's been fairly amazing on some days, especially the beginning. I primarily have stories up. Posted on facebook and tweeted. There were parts of some days where a sale was made every five minutes. However these last few days, have seen things crawl to a trickle. I wanted to see the momentum swell but that's not the case. But still it was a great experience. I might keep things free for a duration. Not sure. Anyone else care to share experiences?AC Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14930702570941640977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436915084701775452.post-85896114301703567832013-03-08T16:01:18.965-08:002013-03-08T16:01:18.965-08:00Enlisted both my novels Iceline and Control Escape...Enlisted both my novels Iceline and Control Escape at the start of the week and seen both books averaging three or four downloads a day, there's still time for more new eyes to see them. <br /><br />Iceline<br />https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/216309 <br /><br />Control: Escape<br />https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/216761 <br /><br />free for the rest of read an ebook weekMartynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15476188572668564232noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436915084701775452.post-76735854796007733902013-03-05T14:04:03.847-08:002013-03-05T14:04:03.847-08:00Just joined up .. hadn't heard about it .. ha...Just joined up .. hadn't heard about it .. happy to get Day 8 New Human War for free in front of more eyes :)Deaconhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03154219780981213954noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436915084701775452.post-8121477381163661282013-03-04T18:08:19.543-08:002013-03-04T18:08:19.543-08:00I'm in!

It's very exciting. I've made most of everything under my two names/imprints free. People are snatching them up in batches. Not just one story, but 3 or 4 at a time.

When Rita created this global event, it was all about helping to introduce print readers to the joys of ebooks. Judging from the flurry of buzz this event creates each year, I'm sure it's already helped tens of thousands of book lovers jump over the fence and try their first ebook. Re: prices and how customers will react, authors and publishers adjust their prices all the time, so I wouldn't be too concerned about ill will from readers who previously purchased at a higher price. Mostly, this is a chance for you to connect with new readers as part of a fun, once-a-year promotion. It's a chance to possibly reach a few more readers who might not have taken a chance on you were it not for the discount. Think of RAEW as just one of many hundreds of steps you can take over time to build your platform for the long term.Dovetail Public Relationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039664167177159146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436915084701775452.post-5804150675684795842013-03-03T13:49:59.337-08:002013-03-03T13:49:59.337-08:00I'm participating but with a nagging question ...I'm participating but with a nagging question in the back of my mind, Which is: Will it hurt sales at paid sites such as Amazon or B&N? It doesn't matter if sales are low. But will there be any ill will from folks who either purchased in the past or who return books for an immediate refund?<br />The value I'm hoping to achieve is thousands of downloads on both of my Imprints. I understand it takes thousands of free downloads to generate dozens of paid sales. Reviews would be a plus also.AC Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14930702570941640977noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436915084701775452.post-81864719473684641322013-03-03T12:49:42.439-08:002013-03-03T12:49:42.439-08:00I too am glad to be part of this great promotion! ...I too am glad to be part of this great promotion!
