Valentine's Day Erotica/Erotic Romance Deals Feb. 13-17 Final Promo Launched!

[lyndabelle]

It's time for the next promotion. And it's VALENTINE'S DAY! This is a big theme. I'm looking for all those love, romance, and cupid stories that go with a Valentine's theme.

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. 
 
**I'm suspending priority listing and fees until we get all the promos back on track. I've taken a hit from all the changes with the Zon, and the fact I haven't been publishing a lot of shorts. Though I may go back to priority listings later on in the year, I think just getting as many people involved again and building the erotica and erotic romance community on this board is important. SO, it's a FREE for ALL right now.

***With everyone being taken on, it means I take the first 5 sign-ups for the banner, and the order in the master list is by order of sign up. So the quicker you get on board, the higher on the list you will be. 

Here is the info:
Promo Dates: Feb. 13 - Feb. 17 (5 days, Wed. - Sunday)

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 can take up to about 10-12 authors.

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.

When the promo starts:
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 over two years now.
Plus, I'm taking erotic romances too. Best thing is to have authors work together to get the word out about your books! 
Valentine's Day is a big day for erotica and erotic romances. Get the word out about yours, and get some new content into your followers hands. They'll thank you for it later. ;-)

***Looking to maybe tack on another ProlificWorks Promo with this too. I will let you know all the details when set up.

Okay, I have added a prolific works giveaway to combine with this one. They seem to be working really well together.
So, if you have an erotic short, novella or spicy to erotic romance on Prolific works, please join the giveaway.
You can sign up through Prolific Works. Also, if you don't have a book on Prolific Works, ie, it's on KU, please sign up for my promo deals master list. I list all the deals following all the post above. That goes in front of the prolific works listing. I list that giveaway at the end of the master list.

The two are working well together. So, going to keep them both going.

Here is the link to the group giveaway:

Just got a few more weeks to go before Valentine's Day. This is a great time to do a new release or put one of your best sellers on sale to get people to buy into your catalog.

Any questions, please post in the thread or PM me. -Lynda

So, already up to 50 titles in the Prolific Group Giveaway. Still looking for authors to join the master list. This is great for all the authors doing KU promotions for Valentine's Day. Still got a lot of room. So, please send me a PM with your information. ;-)

Okay. Looks like this will mostly be a group Prolific Group Giveaway. But hey, at least there are like 78 titles in the group giveaway. That's a lot of spicy, erotic romances. So, if you haven't signed up, it starts in like a two hours. So, VERY LAST CALL!

[lyndabelle]

So, the new giveaway is up and running. It is just a Prolific Works this time, and no master list. It's a pity, because we were going pretty good, and suddenly, like ......no sign ups at all. Is it just people are not doing KU giveaways any more? I have to admit, I've been switching to PW group giveaways now since I don't have any titles in KU. Or the addition of moving all the promos to a new child board, might have totally killed the sign up for the master list too.

Here's the link to the group promo:
https://claims.prolificworks.com/gg/tVMOqDRs73yw10HJF7aJ

It's very sad. I've been doing a master list giveaway for almost 3 years, and I guess things evolve. Or KU giveaways are just not as affective, esp. for erotica. Don't know, but I am happy that the group giveaways on Prolific Works are starting to work out better. So, it's looking like I might be switching for those.

I will try to get more feedback, because I've been told by one person that it was hard to find my promo in the first place. So, I'll try getting out a feedback thread too. Just really disappointed by all the changes and evolutions in message boards lately. They have totally killed my promos that I've been running for these last few years. But hey, as an Indie, I evolve and move on.

On with the next promo and new release, and I'll just keep writing. ;-)

Hi lyndabelle.  The Christmas/New Year promo did nothing for me, probably because of my genre.  I did discover bookpromocoop on your site a while back, and that is something that ought to be more widely known.  Maybe you should give it a mention when you announce a new promo?
