Usually I try to stick to one topic,
but not today …
~~~~~~~~
My Review of Revjus.com is now live. See it here: https://melanierockett.com/review-of-revjus-com/
IF you are interested here are some discount codes you can use. I am not sure
how long they will be in effect, so grab these huge discounts before they
disappear. Go directly to REJUVS.com
Use the following codes:
revjus60 for the
Single Language monthly subscription
(60%discount)
revjus90 for the Single Language annual subscription (90%discount)
When you signup you will get a starter package of "points"
which can be used to get a review for a book at a mid-price ($5) with a word
count of approximately 60,000.

Debbie Drum has a similar program -- with a Lifetime price tag. The
Review Swap Club
My opinion? Debbie's programs DO work,
however her review program is not as sophisticated as REVJUS, nor is it
monitored as closely. Just be aware of
that because you are comparing apples and oranges.

I've had
several people tell me that they don't have TIME to read. My reply?
You HAVE to make the time. You
can't be a good author WITHOUT reading good books.
When I read a good book … the first run through is because I LOVE reading and I start by reading for enjoyment. THEN I
go
back and read the book a second or third
time to dissect and learn WHAT the author did that made me sit up into the wee
hours of the morning.
I've read some books that are so gosh awful they never should have been
published. They are awful because the
author had NO idea what they were doing (or trying to do). Their lack of
reading shows in their lack of knowledge of how to put together a sentence,
paragraph or chapter.
Good authors read ALL the time.
One of my favorite authors is Nora Roberts.
I started reading her books well
after she had switched from writing Harlequins to her current publisher. One day in the library I ran across one
of her "first" books. I read
it … and immediately saw how MUCH she had grown as a writer over the
years.
You don't ACCIDENTALLY become a
bestselling author!

JUST
A REMINDER. Halloween is around the
corner. Then Thanksgiving and Black Friday.
Then Christmas.
If you have a Halloween themed book, OR
a spine tingling book about witches, werewolves, or murders .. NOW (as in today) is the time to start
promoting.
That means your website, your newsletter
and your social media platforms. Don't
be shy. Post often.
Think COKE.
Coke doesn't care if you've seen the same commercial ten times in the
last 2 days … they just keep on going, like the Energizer Bunny …who apparently
likes to sell batteries for all the Christmas toys.
LOL I could go on and on … but I
won't.
See you NEXT time!
Melanie
