As for longer works, the right approach might be releasing the story on a chapter by chapter basis. People will swallow the story chunk by chunk rather than taking a gamble on a normal-sized book. Later, you can package all tht chapters up and sell them in one volume.

I agree. If you are a good storyteller and can create endearing fleshed out characters that people care about and become invested in, you can get away with a lot of other stuff.
