What’s in it for you:
- You’ll receive a free digital PDF review copy of The Wee-Jees. It’s a ghost story based on true events.
Do you love a challenge, and want to have some delightful fun getting the word out about a spooky little book in time for Halloween!? If so… join us! We’ve got…
PRIZES!!!
Your efforts will be rewarded.
Here are some great prizes! Very few book launches offer actual cash prizes where you can get paid. 🙂
- 1st place: $250.00 via PayPal. 1st and 2nd place only
- 2nd place: $150.00 via PayPal. 1st and 2nd place only
- 3rd place: $100.00 Amazon Gift card
- 5 runner ups will each get a $20.00 Amazon Gift card
How to win, and bonus prizes, are listed below, keep reading. Read everything, there’s quite a bit of information and there’s a lot in it for you.
As a member of the team, I would like to ask you to:
1) Read The Wee-Jees. I will supply a free PDF version right away after you sign up. *If you prefer Kindle, you’ll have to wait until publication on Amazon and purchase it (it will only be 99cents during the launch). I’ll explain why in a moment.
2) When the book officially launches, review The Wee-Jees on your website (if you have one) and/or on any website that it is allowable by following their rules.
*Please note that Amazon reviews are not allowed as part of any drawings or prize packages and will not count towards any of our prizes, so if you review the book on Amazon please only do so according to Amazon’s rules and at your own personal desire to do so.
For the first few weeks of the launch, I will price The Wee-Jees at just 99cents on Amazon, and if you sincerely want to review it on Amazon consider purchasing it so that your review displays as a “Verified Purchase.” Verified Purchase reviews are considered more genuine and are more valued by both Amazon and readers. Again, reviews must follow Amazon’s rules.
You will have my sincere appreciation for your honest reviews.
3) Tell everyone you know about the book! Post about it on your social media accounts and generally help get the word out. Be creative! Speaking of which, creativity is an aspect of winning a prize!
HOW TO WIN PRIZES
Here’s how you can win one of the prizes:
These are participation contests, at the end of the launch, one month from publication, I will ask each of you to send me what you did during the launch, you’ll include links and screenshots of your efforts.
I will be looking for:
1) Enthusiasm, show your enthusiasm for promoting a book you care about and how much you want to get the word out about it. Enthusiasm has the power to inspire others to want to read what you read and tell their friends about it, too. 🙂 And you know you can be pretty darn enthusiastic when you want to be! 🙂
2) Creativity, blow everyone away with your ideas! Do something different, something off the wall and awe-inspiring. As a writer, you’re already very creative, so show off your brilliance and wow us!
**Tip idea: Create a video about the book and share it, it can be a review, a trailer, or something else creative. Videos have power and will get you major points in this contest. (Wouldn’t a Blair Witch mystery style video be interesting?!?)
3) Go for it! Most importantly, the sheer amount of activity you do to help launch The Wee-Jees will be important in assessing who wins. You might even want to research ideas on how to promote a book online. Remember, while you’re doing this you’ll discover new ways to promote your own work, too! We will learn from each other.
Here are some more quick ideas:
Share my blog posts about the book–which I will post starting 1 October, write articles and/or reviews about the book, do both, do a podcast about the book, interview me (send me your top 5 questions and I’ll answer in writing), create your own fan art based on what you read, do a social media list about what you liked most about the book (no spoilers), send to your mailing list if you have one, and whatever else you can think of… I’ll send out more ideas in update emails to the team. Feel free to add ideas in the comments below.
Bonus TIP! Referring new members to the launch team, especially those who have large audiences already, and who sincerely help the launch, are major bonus points! Also, as is helping your fellow launch team members.
The top 8 will get the prizes listed above, and just as a reminder, here they are again:
- 1st: $250.00 via PayPal
- 2nd: $150.00 via PayPal
- 3rd: $100.00 Amazon Gift card
- 5 runner ups will each get a $20.00 Amazon Gift card
What Else You Get
All who join will get a digital version of The Wee-Jees directly after signing up. I only ask that you do not share it, please.
BONUS PRIZE for the top 3 winners: Each will receive a half-hour video conference with me live! We will talk about anything and everything writing-related, you can ask me anything, pick my brain! Want to know my writing process? How I publish my books? My launch strategies? Just want to chat about your writing and receive a few tips from yours truly? Whatever you like, it will be your half-hour, so you decide what we’ll talk about.
You don’t have to have the biggest following to win. Remember, it’s primarily a participation contest, the more you promote, the better your chances are to win. Be creative, be enthusiastic, and keep spreading the word about the book.
You can win! There are plenty of prizes to go around.
The launch date is just in time for HALLOWEEN!
The official launch timeframe is from 1 October to 2 November 2020. However, you can already start prepping your ideas. The book is available online for pre-order on these sites:
You can send me what you did for the prizes as of the 3rd of November, but don’t worry, I will also send out reminder emails to everyone. If you want to email me what you’re doing during the launch, by all means, please do! You’ll receive our Facebook launch group link and my email address after you join below.
