I'm working on a large project where the story spans over a couple of books (either two or three, we'll see once editing is done.) I'm also seriously considering going down the path of self publishing.
I know many mainstream publishers release these stories in parts. LotR, Robin hobbs works etc, but is this a good idea for self publishing?
My marketing idea for this is:
Release the first part as a promo for two weeks for free then put it up to $2 (or $2.99 as another threadd suggests)
Second part, the same stratagy.
After (assuming a two parter), releasing a single collection of the full story as well as the individual parts. If both parts come to the best of $6, the collective article could be released for say $5 as well as the individual parts
Again, I know many mainstream publishers practice this, but would this be damaging for a self publisher?
To clarify; it's a single story.It is not a set of seperate but close storys with the same characters (ie; harry potter)
