Greetings everyone! I've finally made the great migration from the former board, and am ready to get the next promo started. I've been doing this for almost 3 years now? Wow. Time flies. And the Halloween one tends to be HUGE! The Theme: Halloween and Paranormal, of course. Bring me your vampire, aliens, werewolves, or Halloween themed erotica or erotic romances.
I'm hoping to get a lot of sign-ups since we now have left erotica jail at the other board, and can post our covers, etc. here. I might be even to post up the banner when it is done. I couldn't do that before when I was on the other board.
You can have 1-3 titles, and the prices should be either FREE or $0.99. I usually have a free title and/or a title at $0.99. You want to give people a sample to try so they'll go through your catalog. Plus, paranormal is big at this time of year. If you have a title that fits this, you've got to join up.
**I also have priority listings which guarantee you a place near the top of the list and a place in the ad banner. This will now have a price of $5 per author name. If you opt for this, I'll send you the info in a PM, with Paypal being used as payment option.
I will be taking listings that are for FREE, but they will be after the priority listings in the master list. Plus, cover won't be included in the ad banner.
Here is the info:
Promo Dates: Oct. 26-30 (5 days) It was tough setting the dates. I chose to stick with the Friday launch and ending close to Halloween. If you wanted to go a 6 days, we could. But It would be hard for people in KU since they can only go 5 days. I wanted to include the Friday and the whole weekend before Halloween since sales do well on those days.
Also Need:
- 1-3 titles
- Whether you are doing a FREE or $0.99 deal
- Title of Book on sale
- Author Pen Name
- Genre of Bk
- Sale(s) Link to Book
Why promote with other authors?
It is more cost effective. You're not paying a third party website $70. You're sharing the opportunity to have your link go out on fellow erotica author lists, and they are doing the same. Plus, followers on your blog and newsletter will appreciate the deals and love to discover new authors. On my newsletter stats, the erotica deals are still have higher opens than other campaigns.
Everyone that has done these with me before is welcomed back, and new erotica or erotic romance authors, here's your chance to get on board with a promo. I take about 10-12 authors. But, I'll take priority sign-ups over free sign ups. If the spaces fill up with priority authors, there won't be free spaces available.
Please PM with your info. You can also post you're interested on the thread.
IF you're curious about what a blog post looks like, here is the promo deals post from the 4th of July Promo and the last one, Labor Day Weekend on my blog/website.

Info is sent out a day before, and then everyone sends out the info list of authors/titles names/links
to everyone on their blog list and newsletter list. As the promo runs, track stats for sales and traffic at blog to share on promo thread. It's great to see how everyone is doing.
So, that is how my promo deals run. I've been doing this for awhile, and I'm trying to not let the KB implosion stop what I've built over the years. I'm also looking forward to some erotica writers coming back. So, I can't wait to see who is around to sign up.
Plus, I'm taking eroms too. I know the Zon has slammed them all into erotica, so they need promo too.
Here's to a new start folks! Hope you can join up!
