The best way to get this strategy to work is to have more books available for readers to BUY. The idea is to give away a title to generate interest in you as a writer. Then if the readers who acquire the free book decide they like it or you, they can go and look for other titles you might have available, and they end up buying those titles. This is a strategy that I have used very successfully with one of the pen names that I write under. This is especially effective when you are writing books in a series and make the first one free.

A word of caution though is to NOT make ALL of your books free, even if you do them one at a time at different times. You would be surprised how many readers will see that second or third book go free and decide that they can just wait until you eventually make the others free. You don't want to condition people into believing that you will eventually give away everything if they are patient enough.
