Spread the Word

10 ways you can help spread the word about Addition by Adoption:
Thanks in advance.

  1. Buy a copy. You gotta drink the Kool-Aid, so to speak.
  2. Tell your mom. My mom likes it—I bet yours will too.
  3. Status update it. Post it to Twitter, Facebook or your favorite status update engine. Some sample posts are below if you prefer not to think:
    1. Addition by Adoption: A new Twitter book about kids, causes and adoption. Proceeds will fund a well in Ethiopia. http://ow.ly/1Hwzk
      [Tweet it!]
    2. Buy a book, build a well w/ @charitywater: http://ow.ly/1Hwzk
      [Tweet it!]
    3. OMG! Some dork turned his tweets into a book: http://ow.ly/1Hwzk
      [Tweet it!]
    4. Or write your own. You can use our short link to send people directly to the main book page: http://ow.ly/1w0dc. You can use this short link to send people directly to Amazon: http://ow.ly/1Hwzk.
  4. Blog it. Use your self-published independent media platform to promote my self-published independent book. We DIYers have to stick together. I’m happy to do an interview, write a guest post or do whatever will work—contact me and we’ll set it up.
  5. Sing a song. Ridiculous songs are awesome. Exhibit A: I like puppies. Bonus points if you make a video out of it. Heck, free autographed copy if you post said video to YouTube.
  6. Write an Amazon review. Find my book, scroll down to the Customer Review section and click on “Create your own review.” You will need to be logged in. You don’t have to write anything long or fancy. If all else fails you can just say “This book is awesome.”
  7. Tell your friends. Mention it in person. I hear face-to-face conversation is the latest rage.
  8. Like it. This one’s easy: Any time you see me or anyone else talking about the book on Facebook, click that handy little ‘like’ button. Popular posts show up more often in people’s ‘top news’ feed. I’ll be artificially popular!
  9. Buy a copy for a friend. I know every help-me-promote-my-book-author says this, but seriously—you’ve got friends who would like it and everyone loves a random, out-of-the-blue gift. Buy 3 copies and you qualify for Amazon’s free shipping. The book also qualifies for Amazon’s 4-for-3 deal. We also have a 10-copy package and we’ll gladly customize other multiple copy packages for you.
  10. Get a banner. Slap one of our pretty banners on your site:
