I want people to read my books, and I want my Amazon ranking to increase, oh and I want to make more money as an author. KDP does all three things for me. I sold a tiny handful of my books on Apple and Smashwords so it was easy for me to remove them from there and go to KDP. In my first day of the KDP promotion there were 1,753 downloads of my book "Creating the Perfect Lifestyle" which took my book to the 150th most popular book on all of Amazon. After the promotion it sold better than before (at $8.97), and is still selling multiple copies a day. Then I get to add $1.70 per borrow - and I am making hundreds of dollars a month MORE than I made before going on KDP. I am launching my book "How to be an Amazon #1 Bestseller - and Make Money" in late February where I will be outlining all of the results of my last two years of research on launching an ebook.

Time will tell what the long-tail is on overall results but it's only a 3 month exclusive commitment so I think we're talking about a very reasonable risk/reward ratio. MYN Kerri,

Frankly I think it's the best thing you can do for the show from a customer valuation stand point. Basic economics show that "Freemium" breeds apathy. It's not about the money but it should be about the value. You guys deliver nothing but value. You do this for the right reasons and you want the right people along for the ride. .99 an ep is a small price to pay.

I don't know about the system they use. It sounds like one where someone assigns a number they feel is right--which still feels to me like asking for a handout. I'm more comfortable with setting a single price for everyone. 99 cents for an episode download seems fair and reasonable and quite honestly, very easy to manage. It's not about generating income, because five people downloading the show is not going to buy us coffee. It's about keeping the audience honest and making us more aware of how we need to always be upping our game to bring the best show possible. Thanks Brad. I don’t know about the system they use.

I like to think that I support you. Whatever trivial thing you asked the listeners to do, I unfortunately did not do. I did indeed download the entire season of PCH, but have not listened to any of them yet due to personal issues. So please move my 1 download from the "downloaded and didn't do anything column" to the "he's supported me in the past and cared enough to respond to this post column". I know this one download/comment won't make the difference but you asked for an action and this is the best I can do right now. I hope it makes you smile/smirk at least a little, since it sounds like this one post won't be enough to to convince you that the listeners give a damn.

I've always enjoyed your show and I'm sorry you're not getting the support you guys deserve. Maybe you guys could use the "value for value" model that the No Agenda Show uses.
