Among the most important decisions you can make when self-publishing your book is determining its price. Price it too high, and you lose sales. Price it too low, and you lose profits. Here are four great articles about how to make that decision (Click the linked title for the full article):
• How to determine your paperback’s price
One of the key factors in determining a product’s success is its cost. Price something too high, and no one will buy it; price it too low, and you lose potential profits.
• How to determine your ebook’s price
Readers expect to pay less for an ebook than they do for a paperback. After all, the paperback requires trees, ink, printing presses, and labor to produce and send it; an ebook doesn’t.
• Try pulse-pricing to boost book sales
Once you set the price of your book, it need not remain that number forever. In fact, keeping a static price actually may hurt book sales.
• Do I need to buy a barcode when self-publishing?
When purchasing an ISBN, you’re often asked if I also want to purchase a barcode for your self-published book. Should you get one?
