Hey, Rick! Yes, this writing stuff is a labor of love for the most part. 🙂 But getting the pricing right from the start can certainly help ramp sales and build a following.

I suppose penetration pricing is what I used to hear called a “loss leader” — you take an initial loss to build up your market. (Though it’s harder to identify what constitutes a “loss” when the investment is primarily time, which for a beginning author is hard to value.)
