Add My Book (revised September 19, 2011 - simplified)

How to promote and sell your books

Advertise your books here for just $8.00 per month. This does not include processing orders but we'll post the information you supply to direct buyers wherever you want. It's easy and hassle free. Contact us soon because we plan to limit the number of books displayed to ten (10).

NO CHARGE during the set-up month and FREE the following month. If you don't like it, don't pay anything... you'll only be removed, no questions asked.
As illustrated in our Guest Authors Showcase webpage, we’ll provide the space for a small picture of your book along with your sales pitch (about 180 words). Since we are an advertising medium only and do not process orders, we'll post the hyperlinks you provide which would re-direct buyers to any website of your choosing (where they can place their orders). Instead, or in addition, you may include phone numbers and/or a mailing address in your sales pitch. Even though we don't process orders, arrangements can be made for us to field orders and pass them along.
SIMPLE - NO CONTRACT: If you remain satisfied towards the end of your free month, just pay us for the next three months in advance ($24.00) and you can quit anytime by simply not paying, conversely, we simply drop you if you don't pay. To collect payment (for us to continue featuring your book), we'll send you a PayPal generated email bill (with credit card payment options). If this billing method is new to you, see PayPal's overview-demo of an email bill. Or, if you prefer, just mail us a check... semiannual or annual payments also accepted.
We will not consider books we deem distasteful and will not post offensive language.

How it's done:

Simply tell us which website to retrieve a small picture of your book-cover and we'll go find it, copy, resize and paste it here. Or email us one. For conformity, we'll resize to 100 pixels wide although heights may vary slightly.
Your text (sales pitch) will be put in the space to the right of your book-cover picture. It doesn't matter which font and size you send, your font will be converted to Arial, size 10 (like this you're reading now).
Your sales pitch can be modified anytime by emailing us the ENTIRE new text whereby all we have to do is copy and paste (no typing will be done on our part). In case of typos, we'll make exceptions. We'll make these changes for you within 48 hours.
It's easy and there's NO FORMS TO FILL OUT (our email correspondence will do)

What you'll get:

Exposure for a reasonable price... our monthly fee of only $8.00 equates to less than .03¢ per visitor (based on the monthly average of how many view our Guest Authors webpage).
Please don't expect a flood of orders however... a common expectation for first-time authors. It leads to disappointment. Sadly, few sales is the reality for most authors.... yet would not every sale be thrilling? Are we not also, with our words, seeking immortality? To wit:

"Since the death of someone is the same as the disappearance of an entire library into thin air... volumes of accumulated experiences, memories and moments gone forever... but what remains immortal are their written words." A.O. Kime

New (additional) feature:

As an additional measure to help you promote your book we'll also post excepts of your choosing up to the equivalent of two chapters for a one-time fee of $10.00... see book samplings for an example
