Promo Experiments

Ok, the promo experiments continue. As Bknioghts refunded me for the last one I’ve used the money to try things again, starting with a cut down Bknights promo. Here are the results:

After this I did a Dirt Cheap Mystery Reads promo, which got me exactly zero sales.

So next up, promos on free days. Sovereign Nation will be going free 26 – 30/09/2014 so I have some promos lined up – yes, you guessed it, Bknights decided their promo didn’t sell enough so they refunded me again! I have lined up the following:
Authorchathost promo 26/09/2014
Bknights promo 27/09/2014
Genrepulse (Fiverr) promo 28/09/2014
Hopefully each promo will build on the previous one to give a big download total!
