Video Testimonial Request
|
I will have a request for you, but first, let me share the results of the Gingerbread House poll. My oldest daughter, who happens to be the only daughter who reads my newsletter, stole the crown from me. Congratz, Grinchy. Down to business. I've been improving my FB ads, and your feedback from the last newsletter helped. In particular, this poll: The Red and Grundle pic was not doing well on FB, so, trusting that you folks know what you like better than FB knows what you like, I created new ad sets. They haven't run long enough for me to have sufficient data, but it looks like there might be a winner amongst them. In particular, this one: So, the request: I want to try adding video testimonials to the mix of ads. I'm looking for a few folks willing to record 10-20s videos recommending either The Guardian League or Mother of Trees. (I don't think ads for Thaumatropic Roots make sense until I've completed the series). For some of you, this is no different from what you do for IG already. I can put your handle in the text if you want, but I can't link it (because the ad will be linking to the amazon book page). But I'll be spending money on the ads, so consider it some low-key free advertising for you (if that floats your boat). Since this is my first venture into video, I don't have any specifications. It's just a clumsy stumbling step forward for me. :) If you're willing to create a video testimonial, just reach out to me through this email. Previous Newsletters

My youngest landed her layout with a twist this week—that was quite cool to see. She hit it on her first attempt. Just had to overcome the fear of it. Prolly a life lesson there somewhere. I do have a video, if anyone wants to see it. They asked her to move up to the elite level after class--for those few of you in Austin, that's Westlake elite, so moving pretty high up the ladder. Speaking of ladders... here was my fun for the week: a hole in the roof that probably happened last winter…...
Today, there's a podcast interview out for Guardian of The Palace. I think it'll get archived, but not 100% sure. Might be a today-only thing. Honestly, I have no idea why anyone would want to listen to authors talk about their books. I sometimes listen with a writer's ear, but as a reader? I don't get it. I'd love for someone to explain to me. I'd also be interested in knowing if my sentiment is right, and no one wants to listen to an author. I downgraded my email plan, so I can no longer...
Halloween season hit full stride here—first with “Scare for a Cure,” our annual messy adventure (this year: mind crawlers!), then a “Trunk or Treat” at my mother-in-law’s nursing home, where the residents—one of them 101!—handed out candy to the little ones. Never fear on that mind crawler issue, our group saved the world. Missed you this year, Sienna! Click here to be removed from family content. It’s been a whirlwind few weeks—edits, algorithms, and endless coffee. But progress is progress,...
