    Please can anyone let me know a list of all the things you can say to readers to buy the physical book that they already downloaded and viewed online for free or read via PDF. I want to know because, it is highly likely that if you convince them to also purchase the physical copy of your free book, they might just bye it!

    So anyone has any ideas for doing it (without selling anything with it like bonuses, etc.), don't hesitate to post!

    Tell them that it is updated with even more fresh ideas that will....blah blah blah....

    Then show a few of them.

    People want samples, free tips, advice before buying.

    You should be doing this anyway.

    But to be honest here, how many actually have read the free version to have to even worry about it?

    Sorry if you already gave them a free downloadable copy of your book why would they want to buy a physical copy. I don't think you would sell many.

    The book is nothing to do with making $ but about relationship and religion. So, does it really matter if i sell them with extra stuff or not?

    Here is what you could do.

    Offer a DVD/Print version for $1 + shipping.

    Then as a bonus tell them you are going to throw in a bonus DVD that teaches something.

    This way if they pay the measly dollar(+shipping), they not only get the physical version that can use offline and give to their friends, they also get a nice bonus to go along with it.

    Worth a shot...

    Well, what if your book has already read by millions of people within a month, then will their be a higher chances of people also want to buy the physical copy of it? For example, lets suppose, The Da Vince code was first given freely as a download copy or view online for free, and then it was also available for purchase as a paperback copy at a later time with no addition bonuses. Will that make peole still want to buy it because of its being a popularity that was read by millions of people within a month, for discussion, buy it as a gift, etc.? What will be the estimate likelihood of people also buying it as a physical copy just because of its being popular?
