The Authorpreneur Podcast - Writing & Self Publishing Tips
BTS055, My Experiment with Tempting Readers to Impulse Buy the Second Book in My Series. Did It Work?
So, I have a confession to make. Actually, I've been struggling to sell paid books. Sure, I can give them away for free, but paid is a different problem altogether. I've been struggling to sell Duplicity, the second book in my James Lalonde Amateur Sleuth Mystery Series. A few days before my forty-second birthday, I realised that FreeBooksy had a spot open on my birthday, the 29th of May. In this episode, I'm going to share with you the results of that experiment and my attempts to re-create the results with a Fussy Librarian Promotion, which I scheduled for the 8th of June.
Without further ado, let's get into the show.
