Everyone knows that the internet is front and center in book marketing. What isn't clear is just what exactly is making the difference. This is a place to tell your stories. Hopefully if enough of us do so we can make sense of the noise and figure out what works and what doesn't work.
How does making the top 100 free list translate to sales afterwards? Will your book stay on the list even after you've begun charging for it? Does it get a badge saying it was once a top free book? Is it just word-of-mouth?
Not sure how he does it, but I've seen other authors have luck with giving one book away when they had others for sale.
It's advertising. People like it and buy his other stuff. No?
He did not say that he had more than one book available, but that might be a safe enough assumption.
Who's the best of us? On LR we've got a lot of published talent, but I'm fairly new and am curious as to whether there is an acknowledged... best.
It's you.
I KNEW IT!

Yes, it's you. We all know it. The WAR is a mere formality, your majesty.
Oh, gosh stop. Really, I dont know what to say, except I'd like to thank all the little people. (I think Bekanator might not like my wearing her crow though)
My question was an attempt to get an opinion or two in order to check out that persons previous work.. I'm bored, drinking tea in a fucking pub, and waiting for dexter to download. Whattya want?
Low blow. Subway low. What the hells your friggin avatar. A pidgeon? you know what they call those doncha?
What do they call them?
Anyway, it's an erne or an osprey, or possibly a bruiser of a gull.
@H.I. I'd say check back through some of the book of the month type discussions. I know they've highlighted a couple of our very own in there. also, check out the books n booze podcasts. they have had a lot of guests who are published authors and regular posting members of this little group.
I think it'd be too hard to just say "blah blah blah is the best of this group." There are so many published authors, some with novels, some with short stories all over the place, some with only 1 or 2 published shorts but really great ones.
Also, you make me jealous. As I settle in to work each morning, you are posting your drunk thoughts from the pub, and it makes me wish i wasn't at work. Please keep it up.
Flying rats. It doesn't matter. I've gotta go, besides I think we've gotten a bit off topic.
I checked I think he has 3 on Amazon.
Sandra14 are you a marketing bot you have a lot in common with the commenters who inhabit the end of threads on low traffic web/blog sites.
Alex Jaden are you using the same list that Sandra14 is working off of?
Hey sonja, are you too a bot, yes you who, a bot who.
I'm thinking the shark net has a tear somewhere.
I appears I was a bit late in applying the tender mercies of my ban-hammer. My apologies to all adversely affected.
Another one! Goodbye, other bot.
