As unbelievable as this sounds, I heard from two different people that I’d worked with, two different summers while I was in college. I hadn’t heard from these coworkers in twenty years…and they both happened to find me through the free book promo.
If you run a free book promotion, you might hear from people you haven’t heard from in twenty years. Or you could finally get a Facebook account.

What indie rock bands have figured out is that the purchase of music does not have to be an either/or proposition. They don’t make their customers choose between analog or digital. Whenever you buy a record from just about any indie band, it comes with either a CD or with a card that contains a URL and a download code so you can get a digital copy at no additional cost.
Dying for this for books. Just dying for it.
