which was released back in June. The planning for this promo started in
June, in fact. After the book was out for two weeks, I raised the price
of the book from the introductory offer of 99 cents to $2.99. This way,
when the promo sale price dropped back to 99 cents, people would feel
like they were getting a deal, indeed!
Despite hitting the top of three different “Amazon.com Hot New
Releases” lists in June, there were ZERO sales in July. ZERO! We’re
