How To Sell More Pinoy Romance Novels

Do you want to sell more of your Tagalog Romance stories? Here's how.

Give away electronic copies (PDF file format, for example) of your Tagalog romance novel. For free.

Am I crazy? Sure sounds like it. But look at the market.

Most of the people reading those romance novels in the Philippines do not have access the computers. That means they will continue buying your printed version from bookstands.

But there are other people in other countries who do have access to the internet. They will find your free PDF version of your romance novel, download it and read it for free (whether on the screen or via a printout).

If they like your story, they will order the printed version. Voila! Higher sales of your book.

That's what Seth Godin experienced, and it would be great to experiment with Tagalog romance novelists. If you're interested, please contact me so I can:

+ Create a PDF version of your novel
+ Post it on a web site so others can download it (and sample it)

(I'll do all those for free because this is an experiment worth testing.)
