Thanks, Diana! I don’t give away free books anymore, but I do try to have a few sales throughout the year. This will be the last big one, probably, so we’ll see how it all ends up. 🙂 ❤

I don’t have much luck with the discounted prices, though the sales are nicer than free. 🙂

I’ve had mixed results with sales, too, but free turned out to be disastrous for me. Gave away hundreds and garnered something like 3 reviews. GAH. I just don’t do them anymore. If the sales work, great. If they don’t, at least I haven’t lost anything. 😉

I don’t get many reviews from giveaways, but I do get additional sales as readers continue through the series. Reviews are another matter altogether. I don’t have the key to that one yet.

An uptick in sales would be worth it. That’s why we want the reviews, anyway, when you get down to it. But though I had one, I didn’t feel it was enough of one to warrant so many freebies. I never say never, and certainly might try one again someday. But I’m more comfortable with a price reduction now and then, I think. And when I was cranking out two full length novels a year, that kept overall sales going, but with the hurricane interrupting our lives for so long, I lost that momentum. Hopefully, I’ll get it going again with The Emissary 2, and then finishing Wake-Robin Ridge 4. We’ll see how that works out. (It’s always such a guessing game, isn’t it?)

Yup, a guessing game and endless effort. Keep writing… that’s the best way to increase sales!

That’s my main theory, too, though I do need to get my books in front of more readers, so some advertising ideas would help. Working on that now. 🙂
