Emily -...Deena - Try it before you buy it, right?<br /><br />Emily - That's really good to hear. Many of my friends who've done this without a series see ZERO carry-over to their other stand-alone books. We're all puzzled by this because I would think there would be a lot of readers who agree with you.<br /><br />I do wonder if it has something to do with Amazon's algorithms and how they recommend books.Megg Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186437652660111801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-70485037016232984352012-07-07T10:21:19.207-07:002012-07-07T10:21:19.207-07:00I completely agree about the free first book. I...I completely agree about the free first book. I'll download anything on my Nook if it's free, and I've found several authors I've paid for their next book by finding them this way. I even think it doesn't have to be a book in a series. If I like their writing, I'm going to want to read any other book they have.Emily Marshallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07073350248209507278noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-31453526054532610962012-07-07T07:40:19.938-07:002012-07-07T07:40:19.938-07:00Great post!

I love the idea of sucking them in with a free sample and then seeing who comes back for more. :)DeenaMLhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01093257361683249174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-48376901920929297922012-07-06T11:02:22.390-07:002012-07-06T11:02:22.390-07:00Thanks, Megg!Thanks, Megg!Danielle La Pagliahttp://www.daniellelapaglia.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-12945100457929119332012-07-06T10:10:15.745-07:002012-07-06T10:10:15.745-07:00Hi Danielle,
How much did I spend up front? Well,...Hi Danielle,<br /><br />How much did I spend up front? Well, approximately $100 per ebook. Ads vary anywhere from $50 to $200. Some of the websites, like Pixel of Ink, no longer take paid sponsorships. They do, however, take submissions for free ebooks.<br /><br />Anathema released February 2011, Oubliette released June 2011, and Severed released November 2011. I had Anathema and Oubliette both written and mostly edited before I made the decision to self-pub.<br /><br />Hope that answers your questions!<br /><br />Megg :)Megg Jensenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07186437652660111801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3318840210070768346.post-87849735584736401222012-07-06T09:33:08.804-07:002012-07-06T09:33:08.804-07:00Megg, that's incredible!
I do have a few ques...Megg, that's incredible!<br /><br />I do have a few questions for you: 1) how much did you spend upfront to get the three book out there? (ads, cover art, editing, everything)<br /><br />2) how closely did you release each book in the series?Danielle La Pagliahttp://www.daniellelapaglia.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.com
