You may want to follow how self published author of Wool, Hugh Howey has sold his books on amazon.

He broke each novel into a four or five book series and sold each book for a dollar. He also made sure to schedule the releases every two to three months. (agile-writing?)

He makes six figures a month on most months [1]

Ooh, interesting. I'll think about that. But my main sticking point is actually marketing... I could give away part 1/4 and sell parts 3 to 4 for $1, but I'd still need to get part 1 to a lot of people somehow. And that's what I'm not good at :(
