For example, my own book that I just launched I did it for $0.99 a day for the first 48 hours and I got up to 200 downloads. Now this is not bad but I can tell you I didn’t get nearly as many download as my friends that have done it free. Still word has gotten out and my book is taking off as I had hoped. It is a slower tactic, but I’m not losing any money. It does require patience and consistent marketing. Statistically 85 percent of people that see an app or book is under $1.99 will download it without thinking twice if it appeals to them. Then there have been other authors who have done it just for the steady low price of around $2.99 that Kindle allows for maintaining their 70% royalties, and can then go on to be rated in the top 100 of their category. It can take time but you can still do extremely well.
I had a
friend die this week and she had always talked about publishing a book and she was
only 29. She would talk to me about writing and maybe someday publishing. Her
passing makes me want to let all of you know not to put it off. Whether you
receive 50 downloads or 50,000. I just encourage you to do the research and get
your book published.

Just watched the movie Finding Forrester and inspirational movies like this make me want to channel my excitement from the and use this to channel it into my writing and keep going. So find chances like this and if you can us the inspirational things you come across when you've got it write like crazy while you have it.
