It's time for the next promotion. And it's for St. Patrick's Day. In the past, I've done fantasy and St. Patrick's Day related titles, but like usual, new releases work great for this time too. I usually rerun all my Highlander/Scottish Erotica too.
Plus, I'm finding that the Prolific Works Group Giveaways are going really well. But I will try to do a MASTER LIST to send to everyone to post on their blogs and send to their newsletters too. If there isn't enough sign-ups for this, I'll have to cancel the Master List like for Valentine's Day. Not sure if it was because the post from Valentine's got moved to a new child board a week before, but I didn't get but one sign up for the Master List. And usually Valentine's Day is a huge promo. The MASTER LIST works great for KU Titles and Amazon listings. So, I'd like to try to keep it going. SO, I'm giving it another try. It's been hard with the changes with Kboards and now moving the promos to a child board for people to find me. So, hopefully, this promo will go better.
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.
So, I'll need at least 5 Sign-Ups for the Amazon Master List, and then I'll put the first 5 sign-ups on the banner. I've been usually averaging about 7-8 sign-ups. SO, let's keep the Master List going. It has work for over 3 years. It just needs authors working together to spread the word.
Here is the info:
Promo Dates: March 15-17
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.
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 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!
AND ONE LAST NOTE: It takes a little while to get the Prolific Works link up and running. I'll post it on the thread when I have it set up.
