This has been one of the easiest and most fun promotions I've done. I'll let you know in several months if it works. ;) Because of this event and one that I participated in a couple months back, I've had to make two new newsletter lists. One for western readers and one for mystery readers. I was told you get more opens and follow through if the recipients know the newsletter has books that they are actually interested in. I can say that the first newsletter I sent to the new western signups I had a 70% open and 55% click through.
What are our thoughts on this? Do you as an author have separate newsletter lists for the different genres you write? As a reader would you rather only get newsletters with releases in the genres you really care about?

American elements in them along with hints of humor and engaging characters.
#StrongWomen is a great event! I'm on several newsletter lists and only open a few. Criteria? An author I'm already a fan of. A short newsletter is always better than long. No hard sell. I'm always interested in what's behind the writing of the current book/WIP.
ReplyDeleteI'm about to start a newsletter. If I can only find an easy one to format. With book deadlines, I don't have a lot of time for a large learning curve on how to put together a newsletter. I need simple...like newsletters for dummies. Sounds like a great promo event you're in!
