If you are an indie author on Amazon, as part of Amazon’s Kindle Select Program, you can use five free days to promote your ebook in exchange for three months of exclusivity.
Many traditional publishers are increasingly doing free promos as well, and the competition is growing with thousands of free ebooks available every day.
I totally agree with not offering your ebook for free when you are launching your book. I was going to do that and then I hadn’t planned correctly and KDP wouldn’t allow me to run it for free because it hadn’t been 30 days since I pre-scheduled the launch, but that turned out to be a blessing in disguise.
I think it’s probably better to wait until you have three or more books published, then offer the first one free as a promo – especially if the books are a series, although, it could work with stand-alone books as well, Wanda 😃

Yes, I agree. I don’t have the second book in a series yet for any of my books.
