Hi Robin, glad to see you here. Sorry to hear that the sales do not appear to be what you had hoped. In some ways, it's to bad that the experiment was only for a week. I doubt they would want to run the experiment for a month instead, but that would have given more time for word of mouth to get around about the book.
It is a good test to see how many people that would have run across the book anyway would buy it. Unfortunately, if those people liked it and told others, it does not give a chance for a repeat of the cycle which might show more substantial growth. In fact, even if the price goes back up, if the additional people liked it enough and are able to pass that on to people they know there is a chance that there may still be some increase in sales for the next one to 3 weeks. It is hard to say, since I am no expert at marketing, but since it is an ebook and the people I know are not going to give up their electronic reader in order to allow me to read it (nor am I likely to do this) if someone strongly suggested it to me, I would certainty be likely to buy it (although I typically buy mass market paperbacks because of price unless I want to collect the book in question so I personally would not have been likely to pick it up at $10.99).
Anyway, good luck again. I am at work (I know, shame on me for reading forums at work) so I have not had a chance to read any of it yet.
