Homework 12: Launch Day for Marcus and the Emperor’s Coin, a children’s picture storybook. (Novem...

I will do all of this again for my next launch…

I started assembling names for my team several months before the launch. My prayer warriors prayed for people to join my launch team.  The last few days people kept adding, so I finally had 40 people on my team.

Day 1: Everyone was able to start posting graphics on social media.

The incentive to be on the team was they would see an Advance Reader Copy of the book via email.

Day 2: Everyone announced and provided a link to a recently released podcast interview.

Day 5: I clearly explained my expectation that everyone would search for and buy the physical book on a specific day…After 11:00 p.m. that day, the book finally became an Amazon Best Seller in two categories. I got screenshots for proof.

A graphic announcing the #1 Bestseller status went out to my team right way...and they reposted it.

Day 10: Everyone was reminded to post reviews.

There were two Amazon gift card giveaways. Those who posted screenshots of their reposts were entered in a drawing (that was filmed and also posted on the team’s page).

Also about the Book Trailer: Everyone announced and provided a link to a 45-second Book Trailer with automated graphics from the book.  https://youtu.be/LeCJOYbSkI0

Before the end of the first thirty days, I had a Blog Tour start for the audiobook. Marcus and the Emperor’s Coin Audiobook, narrated by James L. Rubart, became a #1 New Release on Audible.

Hello Everyone: Anyone want to join my next launch team for my third children’s book? My agent is currently looking for a publisher, so the time frame is uncertain. Perhaps it will be the first quarter of 2025.

If you do, please go to https://dennisconradauthor.com and go to Contact. Then send me a note that you want to be added to my launch team, so I can keep in touch.
