I was approached earlier this week by Manic Readers to beta test and help promote their new web site and author services. For this I've received a free six month membership. I have to reveal this due to current FTC rules.
Don't you just love those rules.
Since I have an
upcoming release and I was already looking for some lower cost ways to promote it, this sounded like a very good deal. I already had a free
author page at Manic Readers and had just updated it in the last couple of weeks, so I thought 'why not'?
The web site has been revamped and updated with a new look, and the Plus Membership has some very useful new features which will only run $3.99 a month. Now that's a bargain anyway you want to look at it.
Here are some of the benefits of Plus Membership.
PM Authors are allowed to host live chats with their readers right from their Author Page.
PM authors are allowed to post news and contests directly to the Manic Readers website.
The Plus Membership is only $3.99/month which is an inexpensive way to attract and interact with readers. (I already mentioned that, but it bears repeating.)
PM Authors can integrate with Twitter so your Manic Reader book and page updates post to your Twitter page.
The Site:
Authors can create free Author Pages quickly and easily without any HTML code. (I love not having to figure out HTML code.)
Readers can enjoy thousands of books, authors, and publishers.
Easy navigation and great search capabilities.
