Of course, I intend that the pay titles actually BE worth their cost.

In addition to the wonderful reasons you cite above, I do offer a free e-book on my site because, quite honestly, if people do the work in the "workbook" it makes working with clients flow so much more smoothly. In a very real sense, it's a credibility builder, as well as a training tool. Thanks for the service you provide here to your readers!

Browsers have a chance to read a sample chapter from each of the four sections of the book before choosing whether or not to buy. It seems to be working as a selling tool. Other webmasters have also used the free chapters as articles on their websites, with the buying information at the end of the article. www.Writers-First-Aid.blogspot.com I haven’t given away free e-books, but on my website http://www.KristiHoll.com I have “given away” free sample chapters of my book for writers called Writer’s First Aid.
