SciFi and Fantasy authors, win a 300K email blast! (newsletter trade giveaway)

I’ve talked before about how doing boxsets and anthologies can be great for building your author platform – not only to reach more readers, but also to build long term relationships with other authors in your genre. And I’ve talked a lot about doing book giveaways to encourage shares and promotion; and also about doing newsletter swaps to reach more readers.
 
But what happens when you do them all altogether? Magic.

Since I’m starting to write my scifi and haven’t built up a scifi audience yet, I jumped at the chance to be included in the Dominion Rising boxset coming out this summer. I hope we get a lot of sales, but I also want to make sure I provide value to each of the authors included – which I’ll be doing with lots of links from my sites (which have a really high domain authority).

Something different about this boxset, is that we’ll be offering a monthly giveaway for authors who agree to share Dominion Rising with their list. Authors can win cool prizes and massive newsletter features. I’ve included some prizes to sweeten the pot. ALL authors who share Dominion Rising will get featured in a post-launch thankyou page (lots of valuable backlinks to your author website).

I don’t normally promote or share my fiction stuff with my non-fiction audience (because you want real readers buying your books, not other authors), but it makes a LOT of sense to incentivize scifi and fantasy authors into sharing books with their audience to win free book promotion or author services. I may continue to do this with my own books later, but on my own I couldn’t put together something as awesome as a 300K email list blast (that’s how many readers are on our collective email lists).

 
 
Down below you can see the prizes for each month, and a link to the monthly giveaway. You just need to send an email once during any month to enter (it doesn’t have to be a main feature; it’s fine if you link to our boxset in the PS or with some other 99cent book deals). This will work best, however, if you have a scifi or fantasy book – and ideally only scifi or fantasy authors with a list of readers who enjoy that genre will enter this contest.
 
 

Share our Boxset and win a 300K newsletter blast!

 

The authors of the Dominion Rising boxset need help hitting the USA Today bestseller list, so we’re sponsoring an author incentive program to reward you for sharing our 99cent deal to your email list. Everyone who shares Dominion Rising with their email list will be entered to win prizes, including a massive email blast (all of the authors in this boxset will promote your book to our lists, for a combined reach of over 300K scifi and fantasy readers!).

This boost will only be valuable for scifi and fantasy authors, and we hope to attract scifi and fantasy authors with an email list of readers who enjoy those genres. There will be a new giveaway each month. To participate, grab the download links and cover images below – you don’t have to use ALL of the preorder links, if you prefer to just link to Kindle or iBooks that’s fine (I recommend using those two). It’s fine to include us with other free or 99cent deals, or in a PS. After you share, grab the direct link to your newsletter where you mention our boxset and use that to enter the giveaway.

We’ll be offering a monthly giveaway for authors, so you have multiple chances to win if you want to share each month. ALL authors who share Dominion Rising will get featured in a post-launch thank you page (= lots of relevant backlinks to your author website, which will boost SEO and traffic).

Takeaway tip…

This is a pretty cool idea you can use to run joint-promos. The collective power of all of our email lists is a pretty juicy prize – we can leverage our existing platforms to support other authors in our genres with these giveaways, in exchange for those authors sharing our boxset. It’s meta-marketing on many levels.
