Actually, I challenge myself. If the prospect wants to load a sample, he/she problably has already in mind to leave the product page.

Best thing is to 1) test both solutions during 3 months each, 2) monitor sales results and 3) keep the best seller.

I am also not happy with the blind mode regarding the number of visitors to my Amazon product page. At least, in the case I direct prospects to the eBook promotional page in my web site, I will be able to track the number of visitors to this page coming from amazon, how long did they stay in this page, did they actually download my sample, did they give me their email address for further promotion, etc.

At least I have some "Performance Indicators". They are not perfect and give partial information. But even with an "non-calibrated" instrument, I'll be able to automatically track progress and check how well I am doing.

Any other reflection? As a DIYer, I don't have the big publisher sales support. And I am still responsible of my sales results among other responsabilities.

I am not anymore an author, I am a business owner. I like it or not.
