E-book Questions
Hi I have some questions regarding ebooks. I would like some advise from experts who know about this enough.
I'm writing a new book about a spiritual topic. This is the first time I'm writing a book and after doing some research on the net it seems that E-book experts say that usually the first book doesn't sell well and the best thing to do is give it for free or pric every cheap and basically let the first book be an introduction to let people know that I can write and also to create a customer base. And they also said that to maximize profit the best thing to do is write a series of books or break the book into a number of ebooks. This is not a tutorial type of book but rather about a deep topic that talks about the existence of God from the spiritual experiences of the dying. It should be no secret that I am obviously writing the book to make money but truthfully speaking I am also wanted to write a book for a very long time regarding these topics and I also want to help people through my book who have always wondered if about the existence After knowing that there is a very good chance that my first book will not do well and usually the ones that come about later do better than the first one I thought I would write three more books after the first one. And I have a pretty good idea about content . It should also be worth mentioning that I want to give it for free to my friends were interested to read it. Now my question to you guys we are
1. Would it be a good idea to sell my first book at a very low price, say $3.00 or 2.99 (the numbers I am using are just examples but I'm trying to mean that I'd sell them for low price ) or should I write more later and increase the price ? I don't wanna aim for the sky and not get anything so if my chances of having very low sales for the first book is no then I'll rather break it into four and sell the next ones later and make a series of books
2. I want to sell my book on Amazon Kindle. What other good places are there to sell my book since I'm going to try spread my work as much as I can and try and make a profit ?
3. If my first book fails in selling anything at all, what precautions can I take for my next books to prevent for their failure ?
Would love to hear from those of you who know enough about this . Thank you in advance for all the feedback and appreciate it
