Perhaps I'll find an author I want to read more of when I finally make my way through.<br /><br />Thanks for helping me see the 'glass half full' side of things! :)Debra St. Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154130275058459169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-38747396009425596482013-09-19T12:47:30.232-07:002013-09-19T12:47:30.232-07:00I've wondered about the effect of freebies too...I've wondered about the effect of freebies too. I think maybe the 'effect' can come later because most people won't read the story immediately. I have novels on my Kindle that I downloaded a year ago, and still have not got around to reading! So don't assume that you are getting no return from your freebie offer. The long-term effects may prove to be better than the short-term ones.

We'll see come November, right?!<br /><br />Thanks for the encouragement! :)Debra St. Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07154130275058459169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-53247979994603522052013-09-19T10:26:51.205-07:002013-09-19T10:26:51.205-07:00Sales numbers are always hard to swallow, Debra. M...Sales numbers are always hard to swallow, Debra. My personal opinion is that freebies don't do much, although I do buy the idea that they help generate sales in the other books of a series. I think we're all so trained to look for sales before buying something, that when we see a book is offered for free, we don't buy it when it goes back to regular price. But it does get your name out there at least. Don't be discouraged. Keep up the great writing!JENNIFER WILCKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16218241106543538422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999125118927001112.post-84262754448266314822013-09-19T06:36:10.215-07:002013-09-19T06:36:10.215-07:00Wow, Debra.
