Here's a launch plan for you - we're using this right now (here's why)...

Hello, You might have seen some videos from us a few weeks back, detailing the process I'm going through writing, publishing, and marketing my new book series. If not, in a nutshell: I put up a new website called Write From Scratch and basically videotaped the entire process - from "coming up with the idea" through to plotting it out, writing it, getting a cover done, and all that jazz. All done while talking to a computer.... (Haven't seen them? Catch up here). Now, some people have emailed in asking, "Where's the book at!?" Which is a fair question, seeing as I went from "here's my idea" through to "here's my 90,000 word novel" in about 65 days. Then... nothing. And there's a reason for that. I happened to mention what I was doing to a writer friend, who just so happened to be part of a major multi-author anthology (with some major heavy-weights like BV Larson, Daniel Arenson, and Lindsay Buroker, to name a few), which just so happened to be short one author. Yes indeed - good things happen when you network with other authors ;) Long story, sh!+ erh ah I mean  short, we're making a big push with the boxed set (which looks awesome, by the way) so I'm contractually obligated NOT to publish the new novel until around mid September. mean while it's the disappearing book, it's flying from shelves, yet to be ... a curious thing! So! That means I'll be ramping up the pre-launch promotions for that around mid August - at which point I'll be filming the process for you (it's very interesting). And, in the meantime, if Science Fiction floats your boat / spaceship, you can pre-order the boxed set at various locations right now.

Pre-orders are an important strategic part of the launch plan. Why? I'll tell you below... check out the book on Apple right here and the other non-AMZ stores right here if you like Sci-Fi (and want 13 books for 99c)

Why Pre-Orders? There are a few reasons to do pre-orders: You want to make money right now from a book that isn't out yet a funded proposal... You want to make sure people who love your work get the book as soon as it's out ( or before )... You want to use the pre-order period to gauge interest in the title, track some conversion metrics, and test out different covers / copy, price points etc. You want to juice your launch-day sales stats by generating a ton of sales ahead of pre-launch/  launch The latter is what we're going for. For pretty much every eBook store (except Amazon) all your pre-order sales are "stored up" and counted on the day of release, not on the day of pre-order. So if you sell 100 pre-order copies, that'll count for 100 sales on launch day - boosting you up the charts for more organic reach. As I mentioned though, this only works for Non-Amazon stores. But it's a great way to juice your results and "save up" some sales (especially if you want to hit a bestseller list) on those other platforms. Which is ALSO why we haven't put it up for pre-order on Amazon. Because those pre-orders won't count on release day (much, anyway) and we want to get as high up in the charts as we can. More on that later. And get some personal testaments and reviews on the book, which help with sales. So, in a nutshell, that's the plan leading up to the release date. And I'll be sure to let you know all the other weird and wonderful things, tips & tricks we'll be doing to get the book as many sales as possible (you'll be able to use a LOT of this for your own books, boxed-sets or not). And if you haven't seen any of the Write From Scratch videos, you can check them all out right here. In the Meantime... The Good News = I'm taking part in a fantastic author-marketing bundle, where you'll get $5k's worth of author tools, software, courses, and other resources for only $49 (98% off). The bad news = it's closing tonight (in a few hours). So, I figured I'd let you know what's included before the folks at InfoStack take it down... You'll get: 21 premium video courses ($3,500+ value) 12 bestselling ebooks ($90 value) Access to extra-long software trials + upgrades ($237 value) Ready-to-use Book Trailer Templates ($97 value) 5 Step-by-Step Workbooks ($102 value) 50% Discounts off Book Cover Design (save $100) 3 Premium Genre Reports from K-Lytics ($111 value) 4 Months of Speakertunity - an app to get you booked on podcasts to promote your book ($140 value) And a bunch of other stuff... All in all, that's roughly $5k's worth of content and software - and they've got the special "stack" priced at $49 all-in. And a quick reminder - it's closing down tonight at midnight Eastern tonight. At which point everything goes back to full price. The "write, publish, profit" offer from the guys at InfoStack is on right now - and you can check out all the heavily discounted goodies right here - closing tomorrow. ^^  Now, it's my wife's birthday today - so I'm not allowed to hide in my office.
