Thanks! I notice people do this on Bookbub periodically. I think it’s a great idea. I plan to do this when I finally have time to get something uploaded to Amazon. However, your book on Matthew isn’t actually set to $0 at the moment. Was that on purpose?

I just checked, for some reason that change didn't go live. Can't set it for today, so its live tomorrow. That stinks.

I did have my first book listed for free on Kindel for several months after I published it.

It still did not make any sales. My question is how do I get my books even seen?

The Fussy Librarian is one of my favorite ways to get it front of an established audience. Its going to cost a little bit for the ad. But it has been 100% worth it. I run an ad with them when I launch a new book in the first 30 days no matter what and it helps a ton.

Thank you! This is probably the only thing I haven't tried. It's time.

I know it’s super counterintuitive to think that you’ll make more money from giving your book away for free, but I came to this conclusion that even if 1000 people download a book for free and half of them share it in somewhere or another that’s quite a bit of potential revenue heck, even 10% share it in somewhere or another. There’s a lot of potential.
