Webinar: Building A Fan base With Giveaways & Free Books

Presenter: Jo Linsdell

About the webinar:

Does leveraging “free” giveaways increase royalties? Short answer, Yes. 

Many authors hesitate to offer free books believing that free books lead to a net loss in sales. Often the opposite is true: free books actually boost sales. In this webinar we'll be taking a look at the multitude of benefits that can be harnessed through giving away free books. We'll also cover setting your giveaways goals, how to run a successful giveaway, and the various ways you can use free books to grow your readership. 

BONUS: You'll also get a free file full of sites that promote free books.

LIVE Panel Discussion: Connecting With Readers at #‎PromoDay2016‬

LIVE Panel Discussion: Connecting with Readers

7am EDT/ 1pm CET Saturday 14th May 2016

Guests: Virginia Jennings and Stacey Keith

During this panel discussion we will discuss both online and offline ways authors can connect with readers. 

Virginia Jennings:

When V.L. Jennings isn't traveling to other worlds through her imagination, she calls Dillon, South Carolina her home. Her book, "The Alien Mind," is a science fiction novel published by PDMI Publishing, LLC and is also the recipient of the Readers Favorite Five Star Review Award. Her second title, "Visionary From The Stars" is expected to be re-released through PDMI as well, in 2016. V.L. Jennings has also illustrated a children's book for PDMI, titled "Wiggle Worm's Shape Adventures," written by Karen and Kathy Sills.

But what motivates Virginia to create, to illustrate, to prognosticate? Virginia is a speculator, the kind of person who always debates the "what if?" of where stories both true and fantastical are leading themselves to, which explains her love of post-apocalyptic fare such as "The Walking Dead." Through her writing, she enjoys trying to figure out what our human potential is, and where our innate desire for a better world could lead us.

Overall, Virginia is just about as real as a person can get. Yes, even authors love to sing along with their favorite local radio station while driving, and Virginia is no exception to this rule. She enjoys watching Doctor Who or Star Trek with her family over dinner, and also watching the latest sci-fi and action movies with her husband. On the weekends, you may even find Virginia and her family at the local comic book store, hunting down more comics to add to their collections.

V.L. Jennings spends her free time writing flash fiction on her blog and working towards her Associates Degree in Electronics Engineering. You can find out more about V.L. Jennings at www.virginialorijennings.com

Stacey Keith:

Writing under various pseudonyms, Stacey Keith is a multi-award-winning author of Warner Books' popular self-help book, DRIVE YOUR WOMAN WILD IN BED. In her previous incarnation as a men's magazine model, she was the most photographed cover girl and centerfold of the mid 1990s, a notoriety she parlayed into B-movie roles, Feature Performances, and days off to perfect her writing. She has been seen on over twenty talk shows, including "Montel Williams", "Real Personal with Bob Berkowitz", "Geraldo Rivera", and "Joan Rivers".

Her fiction career has encompassed two Golden Heart finals, a Maggie, two Silver Quills, a Jasmine, a Heart of the Rockies, and over fifteen other first-place wins in Romance Writers of America contests. Her most recent work of erotic fiction, CARNAL SACRIFICE, written under the name Angelika Helsing, is available online or in paperback.

An avid writer of fiction, nonfiction, poetry and short stories, Stacey has a predilection for the offbeat, the bizarre, and “anti-June Cleaver” heroines. She doesn’t own a television, but reads compulsively—and would, in fact, go stark raving bonkers without books, of which there are many. She now lives in Calcata, a small medieval village in Italy that sits atop a cliff overlooking the Treja Valley. An artists’ colony that even the locals refer to as paese di fricchettoni, or “village of freaks,” Calcata is home to eccentrics, painters, musicians, and writers of all nationalities in addition to some pretty adorable kitties.
