Stagger your listings

[misterforgetfulsbooks]

I think everyone popping their 40 freebies on at the same time of the month each month - the 1st is a bit too many on the same page and day. Maybe hold off on a few freebies until later in the month to spread your listing out through the month?

I wait a few days before listing some and then add the others in the following weeks,

Fantastic Idea. I sell BIN multiple quantity listings. These run for  days and are re-newed/re-listed only when all are sold. This spreads my listings over the whole month. If I have any free listings left at the end of the month I seel individual items as auctions.
