Suggestions:
* Offer a bundle of these books, makes it easier to download in one go
* If you are on reddit, make a post in relevant subs, niche community tends to give better feedback
* I don't directly offer downloads from my site, but only through leanpub/gumroad. That way readers can get updates automatically
Thanks for the offer and good luck :)
- mark_l_watson 6y agoThanks for the suggestions. I thought of just setting all minimum prices on lean pub to zero, but then they are paying the hosting costs for free books. BTW, an earlier edition of my Java AI book was available for free on my web site for about five years, average about 300 downloads a day. I was extrapolating from that, again not wanting to burden leanpub with free downloads and just let them handle sales. Maybe it doesn’t really matter.
- asicsp 6y agoHmm, that's an angle to consider too. You can ask them via email, they have been friendly whenever I needed something clarified. As per https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2020/my-devops-books-are-free-april-thanks-device42 https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2020/my-devops-books-are-f... there were about 40k free downloads in about 2 weeks. I don't think Leanpub minds, but yeah, you can ask them first.
