Not necessarily - I know if I read a book I enjoy I'll actively hunt down other work by the author; if I read the first book in a series and don't like it, I'm not very likely to go looking for more work by the same author. Serialization and 'the first taste is free, kid' are both effective marketing schemes, but I think they're separate effective marketing schemes.
