Thanks to the principle of reciprocity, and assuming the thing you give away for free isn't terrible, you can expect to generate many sales of your for-cost ebook thanks to giving away another one for free :)<br /><br />Fred | <a href="http://www.omalleyhansen.com/" rel="nofollow">O'Malley Hansen Communications</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02499014157365606610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436915084701775452.post-58918814809297257902015-12-14T21:12:56.486-08:002015-12-14T21:12:56.486-08:00Nice postNice postAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01818274872901330988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436915084701775452.post-88213157478572630262015-04-21T09:25:47.928-07:002015-04-21T09:25:47.928-07:00Mark, any chance of updating this.

One risk of pricing books at "free" for temporary periods is it could lead well-meaning fans to believe they can freely distribute the books elsewhere.<br /><br />It's also underscores the benefit of issuing time-limited coupons on priced books, and the importance of including the Smashwords License Statement in the book which can help reduce accidental piracy:<br /><br />Smashwords Edition, License Notes<br /><br />This ebook is licensed for your personal enjoyment only. This ebook may not be re-sold or given away to other people. If you would like to share this book with another person, please purchase an additional copy for each person you share it with. If you’re reading this book and did not purchase it, or it was not purchased for your use only, then please return to Smashwords.com and purchase your own copy. Thank you for respecting the hard work of this author.<br /><br />And finally, it's another benefit of sending readers to Smashwords, as opposed to a download link elsewhere. At Smashwords, customers are politely reminded at registration, at the point of coupon redemption, in the license statement, and via an email confirmation that the book they downloaded is for their personal use only.Dovetail Public Relationshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05039664167177159146noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7436915084701775452.post-18662698213706012892010-03-18T16:26:51.264-07:002010-03-18T16:26:51.264-07:00Mark, these are all great sites.

Getting the readers and reviews was huge. I did however find my novels popping up on many rapid share sites afterward. Google alerts are handy for this. My advice to others, if you go this route just limit the time you're freely available.Jason Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00977847075053331712noreply@blogger.com
