A month or so back, I posted a thread describing the results of my first use of Amazon's FREE Book Deal. I received no royalties from that promotion, but gave away over one-hundred and fifty books. On July 11, my second e-book is going on the other Amazon promotion available to authors, the Amazon Kindle Countdown Deal. With this deal, my book drops from $2.99 to $.99 for the first day, then $1.99 on the 12th and back to $2.99 on the 13th. If you use this promotion, you may choose the price points and number of days at each point. I'm starting off with the minimum, trying to compare the two promotions. I'll post results to this thread as they develop. Stay tuned.
