PARTY DAY !!!

Its been a few days !! Missed everyone !! I kind of set my self up at times, and let me tell you how. New Years resolutions. That's it, January 1 rst every year I fall right into the trap. I promised myself this year I wasn't going to do it.... but here I am again ! On January 1 rst every year a make a solemn swear to quit ALL my bad habits at one time. My reasoning is, that if I do it all at once it may be absolutely GRUESOME (and it is) but I have killed all the birds at one time as opposed to a long drawn out process of elimination, RIGHT ? Well I'm not so sure at this moment. Its been 5 days without flour,sugar,soda,juice and the list goes on, and I feel like...hmmm...well enough of that.
           The good news is that even threw my haze of withdrawal symptoms and fuzzy brain, today is our big launching for "Sheep Dreams " !!! I am so excited !! Like I said before, I did a lot of things different with this book then with "Rainbow Roosters" . First I really did some reading on the optimal formatting for Amazon . On the "all in the know", blogs and discussion boards the standard is 1200x1920 but that made my last book look a bit stretched, but I did it anyway thinking they should know, they are the pro's and maybe Amazon would fine tune it a bit.. well they didn't.. At any rate I found the optimal size thus far for me is 1200x1597.(subject to change)
The second thing I did was give my readers the chance to vote on the cover. You can see these on our Facebook page at :  https://www.facebook.com/rainbowroosterpress/     or find us on : Twitter https://twitter.com/Rainbowrooster1. I just had to slide that in there. Another thing as you might have just noticed is if you get the chance to drop your links anywhere do it ! I actively look for places to leave my links, especially if I have a free book promotion, I mean really who could say no to a free book ? Now who would give their book away for free ? Me, and here is the reason why:
1. It promotes your title.
2.Great marketing tool
3.Get you reviews
4. Good to promote new authors
And million more reasons I am sure but those I just listed are plenty enough for me !

The other thing is I launched the book trailer BEFORE I launched the book this time ( I know Duh )

Check it out !!

I am still working on a good book trailer format. I just used movie maker and found some free public domain music online. I have looked at the professional video's and I know they probably beat the snot out of mine, but I like this video. I would love to hear what you think int the comments below.

So yes I have plastered the trailer all over Pinterest , Facebook, Youtube and Twitter. I have dropped all my links everywhere (make sure your links are webbed together). Plus I have included them in discussion groups and on every review page I can find.
Now if you don't want to have to do all that work, then you might consider advertising. I have read in much of my studying that facebook gives you the most bang for your buck. You can also advertise threw Google adds.
Another way you can generate income on your book is to monetize all your associated pages. /as you might have noticed my pages are not monetized, but that is only because I have yet to figure that out yet hehehehe.
When I do figure out the advertising piece you will be the first to know.

See You All Tomorrow :)
