I laughed with recognition when I read somewhere that free is the new ninety-nine cents. Now it seems free isn’t the key to readers’ locks, either.

Check out this post at Bert Blogging: Bert’s fed up with free and even raising the prices on his books, too. I have friends who swore free worked but that free is now over since Amazon’s algorithm changed. Read Bert Carson’s interesting take on why free is silly at the link below. It’s good data to consider as we all feel our way forward blindly, trying to figure out what the next marketing key will be.

The Indies Unite for Joshua campaign is over…but not really. We did a great thing. We can continue to do great things. Thank you donors!

My best to Joshua, Max and family and my thanks to Eden Baylee for organizing the IndieGoGo campaign. Indie authors from around the world donated perks and I met a lot of nice people writing interesting stuff, too. See? The Internet can do something amazing. It’s not just for arguing uselessly with angry people who never change their minds. (That’s right. I’m saying I’m an angry person who will never change his mind.)

It’s a little less dark out there because of charitable works like Indies Unite for Joshua and the sweet people who made it succeed. 

Next question: What’s the next campaign against darkness going to be?
