Ebook Pricing: How Much to Charge, How to Work Sales, and How the Right Price Can Increase Visibility
Tonight, we talked all about how we price our novels, novellas, and short stories. Here are a few of the subjects we covered:
- What each of us charges for our ebooks and why
- When bundling makes sense (i.e. an omnibus for short stories or for series books) and why you would want to do it
- What to do with short stories, especially ones under 10,000 words
- Can you get away with higher prices with science fiction and fantasy than with some other genres
- Do we tinker with prices (increasing or decreasing them) as a book ages
- The trade-off between making less on lower priced books but possibly increasing visibility due to more sales
- Is there a time and a place for the 99-cent novel?
- Do we lower prices on earlier books in a series when we release a new novel
