Hello there. For those of you who publish on Smashwords, do you opt-in to provide samples and at what percentage? Just wondering what your experiences were and the pros and cons
I set mine at 15% since that put them right at the end of chapter 2, which is a nice cliffhanger, and still got them about 16k words. I figure that's enough for someone to know whether or not they'll like the book.
True: there's a good argument for tweaking the sample size to leave the reader with a good reason to want to read more .
