Thinking Outside The Box Promotion - Summer's Journey Series

[summerdaniels71]

Proving that when it comes to self-promotion I know how to think outside the box ... I offer the following proposal:

WIN A FREE copy of ALL my future works - my Summer's Journey series and whatever might follow. Autographed hard copies (eventually) as well.

(And there is a surprise in store after Volume Four of the Summer's Journey series - just so you know.)

In a bid to stimulate sales of my very well reviewed Summer's Journey series I will randomly choose someone to win free copies of all my future books.

(Considering choosing more than one winner depending on the number of entries)

In order to gain an entry to this drawing ... simply buy a copy of one of my existing ebooks. Buy the omnibus edition of Volumes One through Three and get three entries into the pool to be chosen from.

Since this is a new idea - new sales going forward only ... so if you have already read Volumes One through Three ... gift them to a friend!!

Recommend me to new readers (and have them mention you - either here, Google+, FB, or via email) - and get the associated number of entries as well. If they buy all three for example - you get three additional entries and they get three as well.

Any mathematics majors out there that want to calculate their odds?

Is it better to not share this post and keep the number of total entries down - or share it to drive your personal number of entries up? ;-)

Thoughts? Good idea ...? Bad idea ...? Feasible ...?

(I propose to run this promo through the end of February - when I anticipate Volume Four to hopefully be available!)

Summer-

Welcome to the Book Bazaar and congratulations on your book!  

KindleBoards is a Kindle fan and reader forum.  As you browse KindleBoards, keep in mind that self-promotion, of any sort, is ONLY allowed in the Book Bazaar. (You've posted your book thread in the right place; this is just our standard welcome that we place in all book threads. )

A brief recap of our rules follows:

--Please bookmark this thread (using your browser's bookmark/favorite function) so you can update it as we ask that authors have only one thread per book and add to it when there is more information.  You may start a separate thread for each book (or you may have one thread per series of books, or one thread for all of your books, it's your choice).

--We invite you to use your book cover as your avatar and have links to your book and website in your signature. Instructions are posted here

--While you may respond to member posts to your thread at any time, you may only bump your thread (back-to-back posts by you) once every seven days.  Once you've responded to a member, that resets the clock to zero and you must wait seven days to post, unless another member posts before then. You may modify the latest post to reflect new information.

--We ask that Amazon reviews not be repeated here as they are easy to find at your book link.  Also, full reviews from other sites should not be posted here, but you may post a short blurb and a link to the full review instead.

--Although self-promotion is limited to the Book Bazaar, our most successful authors have found the best way to promote their books is to be as active throughout KindleBoards as time allows.  This is your target audience--book lovers with Kindles!  Please note that putting link information in the body of your posts constitutes self promotion; please leave your links for your profile signature that will automatically appear on each post.  For information on more ways to promote here on KindleBoards, be sure to check out this thread:
Authors: KindleBoards Tips & FAQ.

All this, and more, is included in our Forum Decorum: http://www.kindleboards.com/index.php/topic,36.0.html.  Be sure to check it from time to time for the current guidelines and rules.

Thanks for being part of KindleBoards!  Feel free to send us a PM if you have any questions.

Hi Betsy!

You had me worried for a moment there that I did not post in the right place.   

Thanks for the welcome.

Certainly is interesting. I'm also thinking of some kind of give-away to help promote. I look forward to seeing how yours turns out.
