Contrary to what you may imagine, giving away a copy of your book free is a sound strategy that will not only ensure it will be read, it will also help promote your book and your name. This increases the amount of people likely to be interested in your future digital or printed works. And by giving people, especially those who can't afford to by printed books, a free read, you are doing a great social service too!
Testing, testing ...
obooko is the ideal platform to test your work. Many of our new writers treat their ebook as a 'work in progress,' adapting and amending it to reflect feedback. Once satisfied with its performance, you may continue to allow free downloads and/or try publishing a printed edition on one of the big, Print-on-Demand retail sites like Amazon, confident that it has performed well on obooko.
