It's time for the next promotion. Looking forward to this year being a better year! The theme this time: New Year's and fill those new Kindles/ereaders! So, anything will go! I'd like to give a big variety of erotica and erotic romances for all those new Kindle and ereader owners. People are going to be itching to fill up their new devices.
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 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: Dec. 29- Jan. 2 (5 days) It was tough setting the dates. I chose to stick with a weekend launch and ending after the first of the month.
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.

There are stats and results from participants listed.

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, and I'm trying to not let the KB implosion stop what I've built over the years. Or the Zon for that matter. 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 erotic romances too. We've probably gone through that horrible recategorizing on the Zon, and I've had most of my catalog banned from AMS ads. So, we can ban together to help each other.
Here's to a great start to the New Year. You know, when the world tilts, it's great to pivot. As Indies, we flow like the wind, bend like a reed. Happy New Year to you all! I think 2019 is going to be better.
