With a book release being somewhat like a roller coaster of events, there is really, no time like the present for all things marketing. Besides… I’m one who likes to have fun no matter what is happening, and it is time for some raffle fun and a free giveaway.
Raffle Fun and Free Giveaway for: Communication Toolkit for Introverts
Since the publisher has one hold-up, due to an issue with the final editing staff, it’s still time to keep going. The twist of it is, to have some fun during the wait!
The publisher is more than agreeable to make several copies (PDF and paperback) available for this. You’ll see there are 3 (three) different prizes.
I’m using Rafflecopter to make life easy! Rafflecopter has the tools that a) randomly selects a number of winners from the entrants pool b) help to verify the winners’ entries & c) announce the winners directly on the widget.
All raffle entry details and your chance to enter are below, starting Friday August 29, 2014 at 6am EST. It will end on Friday September 19, 2014 at 6am EST.
I will post winners names the week of September 22, 2014.
So whether you call it a raffle or sweepstake, these books are given away to winners selected at random, at no cost regardless of the format.
Good luck.
Ah if only there were other kinds of “Copters” for other life situations.
Imagine this with me: you’ve written a book, it’s all edited, but the book is stuck some where in between the final edit and proof and the publication.
A “PublishCopter” approaches and hovers over the publisher.
“PublisherCopter” creates enough turbulence with it’s wings that every word on every page falls right into place.
Next thing is the book goes to print.
“PublishCopter” is printing out copies for distribution through Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and others.
Your book launch and book tour has begun. Oh wait!
I’m not at this stage yet. It sure was feeling good though.
But remember, it’s time for some fun. There are plenty of ways for you to enter.
The prizes are plentiful: 3 copies of the downloadable PDF, 1 copy of the paperback, and 1 copy of the paperback with a coaching session if you would like.
Much thanks to the generosity of my publisher.
On to the raffle fun and free giveaways for you.
My biggest challenges are that I am not a sales or marketing person.
I never participate in rafflecopters, but since it’s you I did. 🙂
WooHoo! I am however curious: why do you not participate in rafflecopters?
I’m smiling. I think you’ve said that consistently on my blog. Leaving me rather discouraged. HOWEVER hopeful: chapter 9 was rated quite highly by the introverts editing it! Maybe you will soon discover either you are challenged less, or that, you are indeed, a sales person. I always appreciate you her Cheryl.
Good idea to make people anticipate your book being published, Pat. Entered the raffle, even though, I’m like Cheryl, normally don’t do raffles. But since it’s you:-)
Catarina, this is a real honor when my regular readers who DON’T like raffles, participate in mine! Thanks.
Hi Pat: I don’t like raffles and am not an introvert, but am thrilled for you that your book is almost out there! Best of luck with it. I will recommend your site to a couple of my friends who are introverts. Cheers and best wishes.
Thanks for sharing the news via Tweets, or FB, or LinkedIn, even if you do not enter the raffle Doreen!
Pat — congrats on finishing your book and on the way to publication! Of course, I signed up for your raffle and tweeted it. I wasn’t familiar with Rafflecopter. There is always something new to learn.
It’s all in the publisher’s hands now Jeannette. What will be will be. Thanks for sharing the news via Tweets, or FB, or LinkedIn, AND entering the raffle my extrovert friend.
Wow, congratulations on your book! While I don’t enter raffles (not that I don’t trust you, it’s just not my thing), I know you’ve got a great deal of wise advice and insight into introverts, which seems to be a very topical issue these days. Break a leg! I’m sure you’ll do great business …
Thanks for sharing the news via Tweets, or FB, or LinkedIn, even if you do not enter the raffle Kyrstyna.
Biggest challenge is thinking of making public appearances or YouTubes.
Good luck Mary! Thanks for stating the biggest challenge. The YouTube thing is one of mine – but more for “hair days” than anything introvert related. I’ve come to love the platform.
Hi Patricia – I’m very happy to share details of your book. I can’t wait until it comes out! My biggest challenge is wanting to promote the business, but not wanting to draw too much attention to myself! It can be a bit of a problem with social media, getting the “wrong sort” of attention, if you see what I mean…! 😉
You are wonderfully supportive Julia. I’m grateful.
And thanks for saying what your biggest challenge is.
Congratulations on your book, Patricia! Can’t wait until it comes out. Great way to build up some excitement around it. 🙂
Hi Susan. I appreciate that enthusiasm. More than that, I’m honored by your participation.
Hello my name is Jeri and I am an introvert and I like to enter Rafflecopters like yours on occasion 😉 My main issue in dealing with clients (or students) as an introvert is all the time I’ll spend thinking about having to do so, but thank goodness once I actually have to do whatever interaction is called for, I just get on with it and all goes okay.
LOL Jeri! Makes me feel like I’m at an AA meeting! I’m delighted you would honor me with your entering this occasional Rafflecopter! Good luck.
I am SO excited for this book to finally be released. I’m a closet introvert…they guy everyone thinks is an extrovert, but they can’t see my quivering insides nor are they privy to all the years I’ve spent hiding under my bed:) I’m a little tired of faking illness when I’m invited to a public sporting event, a large cocktail party, or someplace where I don’t know anyone simply because I can’t admit that I’m not comfortable in crowds! So I plan on carrying this book everywhere and holding up when I get an invitation:)
You’re so funny Jacqueline! Yes – carry the book then you don’t have to carry the card! LOL.
Thanks for all your support!
