It used to be that if you talked up a dozen or two readers
about your books in a day you’d consider that a success. Scheduled book store
signings would possibly bring in a few dozen more, if you were lucky. Boy, times
sure have changed.
I am lucky enough to have secured not
just one, but two Book of the Day sponsorship spots for two different books
(DROP OUT – http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005FX0K7U on March 30th and THE END TIME –http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00K08TEYAon February 25th) on Ereader News Today, one of the premier ereader sites in
the U.S. That itself will expose these books to more than 500,000 readers. This
is simply mind-boggling!
But, I didn’t stop there. I wanted more readers! Seeing the
gold at the end of my rainbow, I quickly booked promotions on these sites—**WRITERS
– this is a powerhouse list with low Alexa stats: Free Kindle Books and Tips,
Riffle, Fussy Librarian, Bargain Booksy, KND, Digital Book Today, Booksends,
Ereader Café, Ebook Stage) Doing so, has increased my exposure on those days to
more than a million readers! Can you imagine? If twenty years ago I were to
tell my family and friends that more than a million people will see my covers
and possibly read my blurbs, it would be cause for serious celebration and
perhaps even an impromptu party.
The last time Ereader News Today feature DROP OUT it shot
straight to #1 in several genres and got below 500 in the entire paid Amazon
store. You can understand my anticipation as these, Book of the Day dates edge
ever closer.
And that’s not all! Knowing the intense exposure I will be
receiving, I have spent days rewriting my descriptions and setting up my Amazon
pages to optimum professionalism. I have also schedule concurrent free
promotions for SILENT INVASION on the day THE END TIME is scheduled, and AS IT
IS IN HEAVEN for when DROP OUT is scheduled. This will give readers a chance to
sample other of my books in the same genre and I will hopefully gain life-long
fans.
So to quote Eminen, “you only got shot do not miss your
chance to blow” I’ve been given two and I am not going to waste them.
