Apparently, people don’t like free $25 gift cards as much as they used to. Odd. Thus far, my shameless online self-promotion, my announcements on all my social networks, and my giveaway have netted a grand total of *drum roll* one sale. No bueno.

New plan, then: as much as it hurts me to do so, I’ll slash the price to just 99 cents in order to get compulsive shoppers and stingy readers aboard (as well as get mentioned in a few well-read newsletters). The sale would go until June 27th, which should leave a 3-day buffer during which I’ll switch the price back to $2.99. (That way, my sales analysis for July will not be contaminated by the mix of two prices.) With any luck, this will give me a much-needed boost in the ratings. Throw a few reviews on top of that and booya! – another bulletproof source of passive income.

And now, back to work…
