Help needed please, how to price my book
Hi at last I've finished my 1st book and after uploading it to kindle around 20 times I'm ready to start filling in the second page which includes how much to charge.
My book is a non fiction how to book 35 chapters, I'd like to go for the 70% option and would like some guidance on pricing my book. I don't want to price so high that people don't buy it and I don't want to feel that I'm giving it away. Any advice would be welcome, thanks in advance Rosalie |

Actually you CAN price your book at $0.00, my first book is priced as such.
The rest of that advice is good though. |

Two of the more succesful writers sell theirs at $2.99 (Konrath and Locke). Konrath claims that is the sweet spot.

If you put it on smashwords you can price it lower than 2.99 and still get 70% royalty. Smashwords will ship to all the book sellers (B&N, Itunes, Kobo,...) except amazon. So you're not stuck at 2.99 if you want to get 70%. I wouldn't price it more than 2.99 to start off with...Beauty of smashwords is, if you want to do some promotions, you can put the price at whatever you want, at $0.00, for example, for a limited time, so you can promote it and gain a readership of those who may be unfamiliar with your books, or you as an author...
