Last week I was struggling along with just 96 subscribers to my mailing list. This week, after just one giveaway event, I am sitting at a beautiful 973 subscribers. How did I do it? with the help of this wonderful marketing opportunity:

For $45 I signed up and entered two free e-copies of my book A Chronicle of Chaos into their fantasy giveaway. People were then asked to sign up with their email addresses for the chance to win all 30 authors’ books.
I’m usually skeptical about paying too much for promotions so I thought I’d just do this once as a trial. I was so impressed with the results and it took very little time and effort on my part. I cannot recommend it enough!

And yet you only have 89 wordpress followers…?
Yep. I don’t spend a lot of time on WordPress. The mailing list I’m building is my Mailchimp account. That’s the one with 973 subscribers.
Gotcha! Email lists are a great way to make money; I really need to figure out how to automatically add my subscribers to my own email list.
Do you mean adding WordPress subscribers to an email list? I’m not sure how you’d do that unless you input each email address manually (although you need consent to add people to a mailing list anyway)
Yea. It would be a pain
Thanks for sharing, DM! I’ll have to keep this site in mind. 🙂
Fantastic news! Looks as if you invested $45 wisely.
