A PLACE TO SHARE AND/OR PROMOTE BOOKS - SEE WHAT'S OUT THERE
Exellent Promotional Opportunity at Bitten By Books!
Hey everybody!
If you are not the person who handles marketing/promotions for your
company, please forward this email to them. :)
Bitten by Books is going to be doing the Blog Carnival the last week
of this month (starting 7/28) on our paranormal fiction review site:
http://bittenbybooks.com and offering a variety of gift certificates
from myself as well as other companies offering products and services.
We are opening the promotion to ALL companies regardless of genre, not
just paranormal. The very nature of the carnival drives people in all
age groups and all walks of life to our site.
The last one we did really put our other site
http://weirdstuffinmydesk.com on the map! We are only doing Gift
Certificates this time around to minimize confusion since the event is
so huge. If you have a store or other business that you cannot
generate a GC for, then you have the option of a Paypal Gift
Certificate, Amazon.com, Barnes and Noble etc. If these options are
not doable for your company and you still want to participate, please
feel free to contact me with your suggestions/ideas.
How it works:
I will create the list of companies and the Gift Certificates they
have donated, then the participants will come to Bitten by Books for
the carnival and get the details on how to enter to win. There will be
a variety of ways for them to enter multiple times, but the main one
is for them to go to each of the websites that have donated a gift
certificate and pick out a favorite title/item and come back to our
site to post a link in our blog. This pushes them to your site, makes
them look around, and all of the link backs to your sites will help
your SEO rankings.
During the last carnival there were over 900 participants and
thousands of readers hit the sites to enter the contests for an entire
WEEK! They are coming to my blog SPECIFICALLY to enter the contest for
prizes.
All you need to do is send me the information below. AND PROMOTE the
event starting on day one. I will email all the participants with the
link to the contest/carnival for you to send out to your mailing
lists, blogs, groups etc.
Once the event is over I will draw the winners and send their
email/name to you to issue the Gift Certificates. You will be
responsible for issuing the prize.
We welcome International prize donations as well!!
If you are interested in contributing a gift certificate, please email
me (racoo.smith @ gmail .com ) the following:
Put this in the subject line of your email so it doesn't get sent to
the spam folder:
BLOG Carnival Contribution - Bitten by Books
Your first/last name
Business Name
Your website URL
A one sentence blurb about your site/products
The GC Amount (must be an electronic GC) - Any amount of $10.00 or
more is great. The higher the dollar amount the more likely they will
be to visit your site to pick their favorite items. You can donate
more than one GC as well.
We already have an impressive line up of contributions for the event,
don't miss out!! Feel free to forward on to other groups and
businesses. We may have to limit the amount of prizes if there are too
many, so if you are interested, send your info right away. We have the
right to refuse requests that we feel do not fit the theme of the
event.
Thank you for your time and I am excited to be working with you on
this fun and beneficial event!

MORGAN'S OWN BLOGSPOT
Slides, Anyone?
I added a few slides of my books to my blogspot. I'm not sure yet if they should stay on or not.Do you have more trouble loading my blogspot with the slides up? Do you like them or are they too distracting?
A Christmas Tree Already
On the way home from work yesterday, I passed a house that already had a lighted and decorated Christmas tree up and showing by the window.Is it not too soon for that? In my mind, the day after Thanksgiving is when the Christmas Season starts. That's when it's fair game to put up a tree and decorations and start shopping. The way things are going this year, I'll be lucky if I get organized enough to decorate a few days before Christmas.
With our dog, Rascal, who lives up to her name, we'll probably go with a fiber optic small tree on top of an end table. One of these days I may pull put the larger tree from the box in the basement and set it up, but not until our doggy is a little more sedate. I don't feel like chasing her to get ornaments out of her mouth. I will be putting up knick knacks, lights inside and decorations on the walls, so it will still look Christmasy. No lights outside because for some reason we have no outlets outside.
While we're on the subject of Christmas trees and such, be sure to add holidays in your books. You can mention decorations and lights or Easter eggs and baskets, or even mattress sales in your descriptions to ground the reader as to the season.
Now, back to that tree I saw. What about you? When do you decorate for Christmas? What do you put up?
Winners and Losers at the CMAs and Life
I love country music and almost every country performer. While watching the CMAs, I enjoyed seeing the winners accept their awards. On the other hand, it was hard for me to see the losers do their best to appear gracious and for the most part succeeding.For every winner, there's a loser. In life and in books, it's the same way. How people react to their good and bad fortune shows what their characters are made of. You don't have to tell a reader who the good guy or bad guy is. Let their actions speak for themselves. The readers are smart enough to figure it out.
PS Can't finish this blog without saying - You Rock, Taylor Swift! You are one smart, talented teenager! Congrats on all your awards, especially, Entertainer of the Year!!!
CMA Awards Tonight and Twitter
One of my favorite shows is on tonight - the CMA Awards. If you're a country music fan, you're probably like me and will be glued to the TV 8pm EST, or in my case 7pm, in the flatlands of Illinois.Almost all my favorite performers will be there, except I hear that Rascal Flatts can't make it.
I'll be on Twitter during the show also. That's part of the fun of it - discussing and dissecting outfits, performers, songs and even commercials, kind of like I'm at a giant party with people who all go for the same thing and want to share.
What about you? What kind of music do you like? Do you tweet during a favorite show or event?
RSS
Rascal is sleeping right now. When she gets up, you'll know about it.
When RASCAL wakes up, you'll hear from her and/or her Mom - that would be me, Morgan Mandel.
