Dear Angel,
 
I wanted to offer you a chance to do a little bit of promotion that is easy and takes very little effort and time on your part. Here are the details:
 
Time: Jan 15 (12 am) - Jan 22 (11:00 pm)
Location: Online, blogs/websites, Amazon/Smashwords/Pubit etc
 
Event: 99cents Indie Hoopla
 
Participants needed: 35
Slots available: 31
 
Requirements:
  1. You must have a blog, website, tumblr, etc where you can put up the post/webpage that advertises this event.
  2. You must set the list price for your novel to 99 cents from Jan 15 -22. If you have multiple novels, you are required to make at least one 99 cents for that week.
  3. Tell others about it via Facebook, Twitter, and/or any other social media networks you feel comfortable promoting in
  4. You must provide buy links to your ebooks if you sell them places other than Amazon.
  5. Must provide links to your website/blog/facebook page etc.
  6. After the event has finished, fill out a brief survey to help me make improvements for future events
  7. Must display the Indie Hoopla badge for the duration of the promotion
How the promotion will work:
  1. All authors participating will be featured on the Indie Author How-to Blog (http://indieauthor-howto.blogspot.com).
  2. Each day, 5 authors will be showcased on the Indie Author site for that day (there will be 7 groups of five total)
  3. There will be one main post on the Indie Author site that lists all the authors to make it easy for visitors to find your links
  4. On the day that your group is to be showcased, make sure that post/page is at the top of your entries (make it a sticky or featured post)
Benefits:
  1. EXPOSURE - this is the biggest benefit. It will give readers a chance to find you and learn more about you and your work.
  2. Helps build your online presence. I know many are overwhelmed by the amount of internet/online opportunities are available. This is a good stepping stone.
  3. Networking. It never hurts to know others who practice the same craft as you.
If you are interested in this promotion, please go to the FORM and fill it out. This is a first come, first serve basis. Registration for this event closes January 12. Once you are confirmed, you will receive and email from me with all the necessary instructions on what to do and when to post for this event.
 
Sincerely,
Lakisha Spletzer
