I've finally had sales in de, fr, it, and es. All since going free.

Had paid sales, too, but the pump was primed by free.

I can't say all the countries, but Dirt Baby going free today cleared the Amazon.de brown bar for the first time ever. It was like seeing Bigfoot - I almost fell out of my chair. I'd heard such talk of no brown .de bars, but to see it with my own eyes *fans self*

Congrats. Free promotions have definitely expanded my country list, although Italy continues to hold out on me.

During my free weekend, I had no takers in Italy, Spain, or France. I was sort of surprised, but I guess a historical romance set during England's Restoration didn't do it for them.

Since going free, I've "sold" thousands of copies in the US, but nothing international.  It has made me wonder if the book went free in the other countries.  That just prompted me to kick myself, I'll go and view the book on those countries pages- duh. Roll Eyes

How did you manage to sell international without promoting on foreign sites?

Congratulations BTW.

Hey there!

My short story "A Game of H.O.R.S.E." was free last Saturday. And even though it was "purchased" nearly 100 times a few weeks ago, it was purchased 0 times on that day.  Sad
