I discovered a site called noisetrade (https://books.noisetrade.com/), today. It has music and books and users can download a book for free (in exchange for an email) or they can choose to tip you. The author can suggest a tip price if they want. So it's like instafreebie, but you can also make money from it. I like the look of the author pages and the choice of download options. They don't have a ton of book categories, but there's a lot less competition, too.

I decided to check out instafreebie, too, to compare and I discovered it's now called prolific works. Prolificworks is mainly used to try and get reviews and email signups, I believe. I haven't used either one, but perhaps one day, I might get my act together enough to try them.

Have any of you ever used one of these services? What did you think?

Just seeing this post now. I rather like NoiseTrade. I had a story and a book posted on there and got approached by them to have my book as a feature in their newsletter one week. It was nice because I got a ton of dings on Twitter from people spreading the word about it and it coasted on the top downloads for a short time. It was a nice boost. :-)

I think it's good for folks who have a freebie they don't mind sharing and if you have a permafree, it probably wouldn't hurt to share it there. The more vendors the better, I think.

I think I found them in a WSO.

I hadn’t heard of them before that. If I was going to do free I’s just use KU because I’m lazy. But for non lazy wide peeps it looks really cool.

Looks like a cool idea; I might give it a try.
