Okay, here’s a chance for you to take advantage of me being generous and giving away a free copy of Somewhere Over the Sun for the somewhat selfish reason of looking to get more publicity for this site and my book.
I’m going to come up with a points-system for a number of things you can do to help my publicity and get a free copy of my book in your hands. This contest will close on Sunday, March 27th at 11:59 p.m (Mexico City time…which I’m not sure what it translates to in U.S time anymore because you guys decided to change clocks).
- Send a tweet with the hashtag #SomewhereOvertheSun and a link to either this site, my Amazon page, my B&N page, my Facebook page or my Goodreads page = 1 point
- Tweet a link with the hashtag #SomewhereOvertheSun and a link to your favorite blog entry of mine = 2 points
- Recommend Somewhere Over the Sun to your Goodreads friends = 1/2 point per friend
- Get your friends to visit my site and e-mail me your name = 1 point per friend
- Get your friends to visit my site and e-mail me your name and what is their favorite blog entry of mine = 2 points per friend
- Mention my Facebook author page in your Facebook status = 2 points
- Reblog this or any other of my blog entries on Tumblr, adding that you are doing so for the sake of this contest = 2 points per reblog (1 additional point for every reblog stemming from your reblog)
- Tweet a picture of you doing something awesome along with the hashtag #SomewhereOvertheSun = Sliding scale from 1 point to 300 points, depending on awesomeness
- Get a celebrity to tweet #SomewhereOvertheSun = Sliding scale from 1 to 1,000 points, depending awesomeness of celebrity
- Get a celebrity to add Somewhere Over the Sun to their Goodreads reading pile = 400 points
- Other publicity efforts I have not thought of will be rewarded points according to, of course, a sliding scale of awesomeness.
Good luck.
I will tally up the points and announce the winner, possibly by Monday the 28th, unless I’m too busy finishing (!!!) book number two.
