JOIN MY ARC LAUNCH TEAM!
Pocket of Pain, will launch Late May or early June. This is really all on me, as I’m using my own little Press to publish, PunkGodessPress. I’m sure I’ll post about why, down the road. But right now, let’s focus on this exciting decision I’ve made.
I have dropped a few hints about this, and I already have 6 on my team! But now I’m going to more aggressively (ha ha) seek volunteers. I’m looking for a minimum of 20 people to help me get the word out. And this is all about how you can help me do this.
Read on to learn about it.
The ARC Launch Team’s main goal is to have “the book” read and reviewed shortly before or after the release (publication) day. This way there will be some reviews for “the book” on release day, which can help with sales. It helps the ranking on “the book” go up.
If you Join, I will contact you and send a copy of “the book” no later than 2 months before the release date, or sooner. A month before launch, I’ll poke you to make sure you don’t forget to read the book. A week before the book launch, I will prompt you to do some book promotions to help get the word out. Again, this will be what ever means you have. Either direct marketing to your own friends, contacts, etc via email. Or using tools like Instagram, Facebook, twitter. But these social media accounts are NOT required of you to be on the team. Simple emails are fine. But, the only requirement to be on the team is to POST A REVIEW. You can’t post a review unless you “buy” the book, so that’s why you will have access to a “soft launch”, where you can buy the book for 99cents, then leave your review. You’ll be notified, and again, nudged by me to leave the review when it’s ready.
For anybody who prefers AUDIO BOOKS over reading, I will be doing the same thing all over again, when I get close to launching the Audiobook. This won’t be until late fall, or early winter. Maybe on winter solstice?
Okay, to refresh…
LAUNCH TEAM MARKETING - What does this involve?
Some of the activities the launch team can do for “the book” right before launch day and after:
Buy a copy of “the book” (will be posted for 99cents just for the ARC Team 2 days before public release so that reviews can be left
Post a review of “the book” on Amazon (top priority)
Share details about “the book” on your social media pages - or through direct marketing via emails.
Post a selfie holding “the book” on social media (optional)
Review the book on your personal blog or newsletter (optional)
Share my feeds from Facebook/Instagram/youtube live videos with your audience (optional)
You will have access to a special page on my author’s website with tools that are easy to share on social media. For example, I will offer pre-created Facebook/Instagram posts that can be added to anyone’s social media account.
