Giving away your hard work for free doesn’t seem to make good business sense. So why do authors give away ebooks for free?

What if “free” didn’t kill your revenue, but primed it? In this week’s episode, we’ll dig into the permafree strategy with Dale Roberts, author of Secrets of the Permafree Book.

You’ll learn:

Where permafree works (and where it flops)
How to make Amazon price-match a free book
How to determine whether the permafree strategy is working for you
Which kinds of standalone books might benefit from being permafree

If you’ve got a strong series and a tight budget, permafree may be the fastest path from obscurity to discovery. Listen in or read the blog version to see if it will work for your book or books.
