Selling advice?

Postby Sculpted » Thu Jun 30, 2022 5:30 pm

Hey all, I'm about 30 pages into a new story, and I'm considering releasing it a bit at a time (until the whole thing is posted for free) , with a link to give $5 or so to just download the whole story at the top of each post..

Anyone have experience with doing something like this? Not sure how to go about even accepting payment for a random story, or if anyone would even bother given that it'll all be eventually posted for free.

I will PayPal you $25 now for whatever you got
Your last story was brilliant and I’ve re read it several times

But as far as your question- patreon seems to be the best way of doing stories in those tiers

This concept is something that Amazon is experimenting with, if you wanted to try that: https://www.amazon.com/kindle-vella/

Ha, you don't even know what it's about! Also it's far from done. But thank you!

And that other story is lost to the ether. It was absolute garbage though, and I have some ideas on how to take the concept from it and make something...not garbage.

That is definitely a neat concept, thanks for showing me that!

What would someone pay for an unread shakespere? You are in the same category... I know whatever it is will be amazing and im underbidding.
