Can I start my Freebooksy Promotion with my book at one price and then switch the price during the day of the promotion?

Updated by Melissa Bartlett

Freebooksy Features must be free until 11:59 PM PST on the day that they are being promoted.

Price switching hurts everyone, and in order to best serve our authors and readers, we do not allow it. While our core audience is located in the US, we have readers in all time zones around the world. In order to give all of our readers equal opportunity to enjoy the books featured in the newsletter, your book must remain free all day.

Example:  A book scheduled for a Freebooksy Promotion on January 1st must be free from 12:00 AM PST through 11:59 PM PST on January 1st. If the book starts the day priced at $0.00 then changes to $1.99 at 2:00 PM, it is in violation of price switching.

If you raise the price of your book before the end of the day that your book is featured, we will not promote any of your books on Freebooksy in the future. We take this very seriously because this practice leads to negative feedback and readers unsubscribing from our service. It also hurts other authors who are promoting their books with Freebooksy.


How did we do?
