I was thinking, seeing as I am a self published newbie, with only experience in ghost writing for tumblr would giving copies to indie reviewers and having them do a give sways where we have x amount of people get free copies be a good marketing tatic? like I was thinking too at the time of these give away, lets one person doesn't win, then I can release my book for a special sale price on kindle for like lets say .99 cents of a kindle copy, so they can buy on sale for a limited time on kindle. lets say a week. does this sound like a good idea?
