Okay so its been 15 days since I uploaded the two free short stories.
The first one 'Cake' has had 76 downloads and 8 reviews. It was approved for Premium distribution on the 11th April.
The second story (that I uploaded one day after Cake) has had 55 downloads and 2 reviews. It was approved for PD on 12 April.
Premium distribution hasn't really made any difference. When I first uploaded I got 10-15 uploads a day. But this has slowed right down to maybe 1 every two days. i put this down to the fact Smashwords lists chronologically - so for a while there, my free short story was on the first page. Now I am somewhere miles down so unless someone 'happens' upon it I wont get seen.
Next stop is to finish my YA novel. After reading a few blogs etc I have decide to break the novel into two novellas. Apparently these sell quite well. I might make the first one free......and if some one loves it - chances are good they will purchase the second.
Thats all for now :)
