It’s good to see people trying small low cost experiments like this although I suspect there are diminishing returns to how many people will be interested if you try a similar post again but that’s also why it’s good that you’ve given a framework for others to copy.
At EA London I haven’t given as many books out in the last 12 months as the previous 12 as I’ve usually only given them to people after a 1-1 meeting or significant interest from someone at an event where it seems more likely that they’ll actually read it and want to take away some advice rather than offering to give it to people who are more interested in the idea of a “free book”.
Yes, I had considered doing another post, but I guess I was thinking probably not. It would certainly be diminishing returns, yeah. I, and I’m sure many others, wouldn’t want to start seeming spammy about it. Maybe after a couple of years.
It’s an interesting point. Do you know who you’ve given it to, and would you consider sending them a separate copy of the survey once it’s been released, to gauge effectiveness / relative effectiveness?
@Davidmanheim I am not sure if they are still doing it, but I know they were doing a survey. It is linked to in the Google Doc of their summary that I linked to above.
