Blog Design for Dummies- Launch Week Surprises!
Today is a BIG day… Blog Design for Dummies is officially on bookshelves! And shipping from Amazon, too!
Last week, copies of my book came in the mail. I got to hold it, flip through it (and perhaps even hug it). I knew it had shipped out Monday, so I was surprised to see a box of books on my door Tuesday evening after Zumba. You may have seen me post about it on Instagram. My hair had just been cut the day before so it was straight (my hairdresser likes to straighten it after a cut & color) and I was all sweaty from Zumba, but hey, whatev! I HAVE MY BOOK IN MY HANDS.
And if you were to flip to the acknowledgements, the second sentence in this paragraph is just for YOU:
I mean it. I couldn’t have written this book if you didn’t support me and this blog!
This week I have some fun little goodies for you, starting today! Wednesday will be a normally scheduled blog page critique and then every other day this week, I’ll have a little surprise for you! Startingggggg now.
Grab a Button for Your Blog
Wiley (my publisher) generously made these slick buttons. If you want to promote the book, pop one of these suckers onto your blog and link to my Blog Design for Dummies page on the For Dummies website. Even better? If you’re an affiliate with Amazon or Barnes & Noble, then use your affiliate link instead & earn a little dough! A friend of mine posted about the book on Facebook this weekend and sold two affiliate copies just from a personal post!
Just download this zipped file of all the buttons. The sizes are part of the file name, so you can choose one that suits you. Yay!
Join the Twitter Launch Party & Get a Chance to Win a Copy!
What’s a new book without an online party to celebrate? Amy from Resourceful Mommy is hosting a For Dummies Twitter party for me and fellow For Dummies author Andrea from Lil’ Kid Things (author of Klout for Dummies). We’ll be chatting about why blog design and influence matter.
Join us next Monday, July 22 at 9 pm Eastern. You can follow along with the #4dummies hashtag.
Not only will we be dishing out tips on blog design and Klout, you also get the chance to win both of our books! If you want to attend, RSVP in the linky below!
