Rules
The contest will run all week, and you can do several things to earn contest points and increase your chances of winning. For every contest point earned, your name will be entered once more into the pool (e.g., if you’ve earned 18 points, you have 18 chances of winning).
You can win points by:
1. Buying a book early in the week. I’m trying to create a surge of sales to boost the book in Amazon’s ratings, so I’d like to encourage people to purchase as soon as possible.
Buy a book on Monday = 5 points
Buy a book on Tuesday = 4 points
Buy a book on Wednesday = 3 points
Buy a book on Thursday = 2 points
Buy a book on Friday = 1 point
2. Buy more than one book! You get one extra point for each additional book you buy.
Buy additional books = 1 extra point per book
3. Tweet the following message each day of the week. Duplicate posts per day will be counted as one post.
Tweet about the book = 1 point per day, possible 5 points over the course of the week
4. Share this post on Facebook. Be sure to tag me (@K.M. Weiland), so I can find and count your posts. You’ll need to “like” my page in order to tag me. Duplicate posts per day will be counted as one post.
Share on Facebook = 1 point per day, possible 5 points over the course of the week
5. Mention the contest and the book on your blog. Be sure to email me the link, so I can give you credit.
Blog post = 3 points
Note: Because of shipping costs, I’m sorry to say the contest will be limited only to U.S. citizens. My apologies to all my international readers!
Winners will be announced Friday, September 30th.
Good luck to everyone in the drawing, have fun, and thank you for helping me celebrate the launch of Outlining Your Novel!
