How much is free?

Well, for starters, I wanted to say how pleased I am with all the people visiting Woofreakinhoo lately. My hits have grown every month since I started being a bit more dedicated. It's also exciting how many people are getting into Bent Highway (hell, I am kind of getting into it myself). It looks like August will be my biggest month.

So in the spirit of that, here's something else fairly exciting.

This Friday, for 24 hours, Correction Line will be free. Yep, the f word.

Now wait a second, you say. Didn't you just talk about how you won't sell your book for .99. Saying something about a good quality pair of boots. (If wonder what the hell I am talking about - read this post. Picked up by the smartass times no less).

The short answer - it's a promo baby. Just like I have told my design students when explaining the power of promotion. Say you had a store, and it only had one product: gold bars. And you gave these expensive gold bars away for the unbelievable price of $9.99 (Hey, you're eccentric).

So you get yourself a little store and you wait. You don't take out any advertising, print, TV, radio or internet. You don't even put a sign outside. I mean, why bother - you have a great product at an amazing price. Who wouldn't want it?

And you wait.

And you wait.

Hmmm. How many people do you think would visit the store? Right.

I digress, but not much.

Rather than give a fable-like lecture about advertising, I am just saying that my hope is to draw more attention to Correction Line by giving it away for free. But you don't need to know all this back room strategizing. You can just go pick up the book.

Lastly, some folks have asked, "Hey Craig, I don't have a Kindle. You got any paper copies of that there book?"

(Regional accents. But nice people.)

So no, unfortunately, I don't. And you can only get it on Kindle right now. But here is the thing - if you have a smartphone, a laptop, a computer, a blender (okay, maybe not that one), you can get a free app which will allow you to read Kindle books.

Go here for the app: Free Kindle App

Lastly, and finally, yep, it's free on Friday.

Thanks for reading.
