DIALOGUE 17: THE PRICE DROP

She made it free for a week.

MAYA: 1,247 downloads. This is it. The momentum is starting.

LAPTOP: Paid sales after the promotion: 1.

MAYA: The readers just need time to finish it and leave reviews.

LAPTOP: Read-through during the free week: 9%.

MAYA: People download free books and read them later.

LAPTOP: 1,141 people downloaded it and never opened it.

MAYA: ...

They downloaded the idea of your book.

Not your book.
