What works for one business, won't necessarily work for another.<br /><br />As long as you're making a profit, it doesn't make sense to raise the prices significantly just because others are doing it. It seems risky.<br /><br />MomJane's suggestion of free shipping is brilliant. It's a good incentive if you raise prices. <br /><br />I'm willing to bet your competitors don't do that. That's a plus.Maria Zanninihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01604862636922299273noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-68465418150243076692010-03-22T17:48:06.293-04:002010-03-22T17:48:06.293-04:00Pricing is always a tricky thing, but if you'r...Pricing is always a tricky thing, but if you're making a profit and already selling then may your pricing is okay?<br /><br />Re the writing - I always think my writing is terrible. I've found it's best to push through and get the first draft on paper, let it sit then reevaluate. Sometimes I even surprise myself!Shelley Munrohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03090469550227550713noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-22057328880643340602010-03-22T17:22:36.874-04:002010-03-22T17:22:36.874-04:00Urgh..

He takes various open source material and formats them nicely for the Kindle (versus dumping text), adds covers, does all the metadata stuff. He’s discovered that by pricing them a bit higher, he sells more. People assume higher price = better quality. (Up to a point. Priced too high, and I don’t think he would sell as much.)<br /><br />As for the writing, it sounds to me that you simply haven’t gotten into the voice/groove of the story yet, and that will come. I’ve discovered how I feel about any one particular writing session has little bearing on the quality of the writing. Sometimes I feel like I’m hacking it out, but when I review later, the scenes are surprisingly good (for a draft).<br /><br />Other times, when I’m “in the zone” and think I’m doing the best writing ever, upon review, it reads like I’d decided to write after downing a bottle of Nyquil. <br /><br />Just write. You’ll find the rhythm you need if you do that.Charity Tahmasebhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14208740898666710699noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14366870.post-62185444165597886412010-03-22T09:21:12.479-04:002010-03-22T09:21:12.479-04:00I'm a verb too.

That way you can make a little more, and perhaps sell more.

Honestly, I think so many people are strapped with the economy it's just tight competition and a decrease in sales.<br /><br />The jewelry is beautiful. I want to buy some of my own but have to wait.
