ALL 4 LOVE Official Thread of Awesomeness
Mod
We'll be sharing our promo efforts in this thread. One, cuz it keeps us all accountable and two, cuz it's way more fun that way!! Hooray for fun!!!
As you promote All 4 Love Indie Romance, share links to:
☛ posts you make in other GR groups
☛ posts you make on your own blog
☛ posts you make in other FB groups
☛ etc.
I'll gather all the links in message #3 of this thread so we can keep track and help one another spread the word! Feel free to discuss whatever you wish in regards to promoting the event. We'll also share our exciting book/author ranks as they climb to...
In short, all things awesome sauce go in this thread haha!
Hugs,
Ann
P.S. We'll start "soft" promoting on Monday, throw out a few reminders on Friday, and then on Saturday... all h*ll breaks loose!!! Kidding, but not kidding ^_~
SERIOUS NOTE: Do NOT go bookwhacking your own stuff (posting teasers, links, etc.) on our FB page/event. Or use #loveindiepromo to bookwhack your own stuff. Or bookwhack your own stuff anywhere designated to the GROUP event.
1) I will personally delete it.
2) Twice. Because I'm a nice person (not really)
3) The 3rd time, I will remove you from the event altogether.
If you're a total team player and thinking to yourself, "Holy harsh, Mistress Ann!!", please ignore that rant LMAO!!

Peeps not in event but helping out anyway cuz amazeballs much?

I've scheduled a post for my Facebook tomorrow. I think I'll wait for the day of for posts to my blog and to my newsletter subscribers, if that's ok.I'll obviously share on social media (Facebook, Twitter, Tumblr), but I don't know any bloggers, so can't help out there.
Let me know if there's anything else you need me to do.
I just made a blog post and pinned it to the top of my blog. Or in my case, a sticky note is what it said. hahaha. I've never done that before so it took me a bit to search for it. lol.https://amandasiegrist.wordpress.com/...
I'll keep it pinned to the top of my blog until the event is over!
I've also paid a lickle bit to boost my fb post promoting the event.(don't worry too much about linking)
fb page is here https://www.facebook.com/pg/TL-Clark-...
but not sure how to link to the individual post.
And Tweeted now too. https://twitter.com/TLClarkAuthor/sta...
And a blog post: http://tlclarkauthor.blogspot.co.uk/2...
(whilst you're there, please feel free to catch up with 'meet the book boys'. It'd be really nice if after all this effort at least one person voted when it's time!?)

Everyone can help post to different GR groups they're a part of on Saturday ^_^ We'll keep it super light till then. Just a few reminders here and there. During the event is when we'll need to band together and share stuff like mad. Mad, I say!!
@Queen Amanda, Miss TL & Miss Cass: Thanks, ladies!
Hugs,
Ann
P.S. If y'all would share the FULL LINKS to your social media posts (vs just saying they're pinned) that would make life a lot easier for me. Or else I have to go look up all the links myself and, well, I really don't wanna haha! Thank youuu!!
Mod
I have posted on my website http://jsamanbooks.comOn my GR blog (it's not much yet, but I will add to it) https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
On FB: https://www.facebook.com/jsamanbooks/...
On Twitter: https://twitter.com/jsamanbooks/statu...
Some of my promotions will happen at weird times. I'll schedule what I can, but I'll be 18.5 hours ahead of PST, so we'll see how it goes. Timezones, amiright?Anyway, it's all very exciting.
Mod
@Miss Aislinn: Oh, sorry! I thought you were manually changing prices for some reason. My bad!!
In any case, ahead of PST is perfect cuz we'll check all the prices at midnight and pull down any books (hopefully none haha) that aren't discounted properly. Anyone doing countdown deals:
Amazon US is PST
Amazon UK is GMT (PST+08:00)
Eeeeek!!!
Oh, no you were right the first time! By promotions I meant tweets and posts and stuff. I am changing the price manually. :p
Mod
Yeah, we'll all be RT'ing and sharing posts throughout the entire weekend sooo...
It's actually good to have some peeps awake at different times XP
Mod
If people wanna post about their own stuff on their own blogs/accounts/etc.? Knock yourself out haha! But...
I'm only gonna add the group-centric links to comment #3 to be shared.
EDIT: Oh, and please refrain from using #loveindiepromo to promote your own individual books. Much appreciated!!
Here are the links with the updated URL. There will be plenty more to come and sorry if they're kinda lame. One of these days I'll get some sleep and my brain will come back to life... one of these days. https://www.facebook.com/jsamanbooks/...

I posted an event preview to my blog Friday (linked to my Facebook & Twitter acts) https://jessjesinghaus.wordpress.com/... and will start hitting Twitter heavy on Thursday. More to come!
My blog: http://www.wscarmichael.com/2017/02/0...My Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/20661...
My Goodreads Blog:https://www.goodreads.com/author/show...
I just posted the sale on my Facebook page. Will create blog posts on my website and Goodreads in the next couple of days. https://www.facebook.com/events/12558...
So far I set one of the banners as my cover photo on my author page and I have tweeted a few times about the event.
I made a better blog post (short, sweet, and more promo-y): https://cassalexanderblog.wordpress.c...
I posted it today and will push it out to my other social media Friday or Saturday. I have to go back and read what exactly I should be doing Saturday.
Thanks for this opportunity! This is exciting!
Cass
Mod
@Miss Cass: Saturday's the best cuz people can just click the link and then click all the books in the land!!! *ahem* Yeah, Saturday. Good. Tee hee.
We're just gonna share one another's posts, tweets, etc. all weekend.
Oh! Annnd I'll be asking everyone to help by posting in GR groups they belong to as well ^_^
Big-squeezy-hugs-to-all,
Ann

@Mistress Ann, do you want us to keep updating all the posts and things that we do to promote?
Mod
@Miss Julie: Yeppers. Keep sharing everything. It's more fun that way LOL
If y'all go nuts (which I hope do haha!) I'll trim down the list in comment #3 a bit just to keep it manageable. And keep the promoting super light until Saturday, everyone! Cuz most peeps have the attention span of a...
Oooh! Squirrel!!
And forget stuff real easy ^_~
https://www.goodreads.com/author_blog...I don't really plan to do too much more until Saturday. Maybe something here and there.
Holy crapballs, it's 3 days away!!!
Here is a couple that I did on twitterhttps://twitter.com/authorASMcGowan/s...

Mod
@Miss Aislinn: Yessss! *high fives* This is gonna be all sorts of awesome sauce!!!!
Mod
*annoyingly whiney voice*
I don't wanna put it on sale!!! LOL
Mod
Hahaha. I'm just super jetlagged and was afraid I'd fall asleep when I needed to switch it. Figured it was safer to do it early. I've already sold a copy at the lower price, so let's hope that's an auspicious sign for the sale. :D
It's gonna be amazing!!
Aislinn wrote: "I already flipped my price over, so I'm ready and raring to go!"Haha, me too, cos I always worry something is gonna go wrong so I do it way early!!
Jane wrote: "Haha, me too, cos I always worry something is gonna go wrong so I do it way early!!"Lol same. Last time I did a sale I flipped it over like 3 days before because I was so nervous of getting it wrong hahaha.
Mod
EDIT: Apparently can't type hahahaha!

Remember when you and I stayed up and did a countdown all by ourselves last time? Well, we've now resorted to counting down the eve of events. Have we hit a new low? Or a new high?
Or are we just a bit fanatic?
Sincerely,
Ann

Yep I remember, we had great fun, I think we ended up counting down like every couple of minutes!! Haha, I definitely think we hit a new high! Cos we're pretty awesome and our excitement knows no bounds!!
