Cover Wars, Scavenger Hunt and Giveaway

February is almost upon us, so it's time to cut off sign ups for that month and move on to March. Whether you've wanted to try this campaign but haven't or you are a Cover Wars veteran, now's a good time to throw your book into the pile.

It starts at just $5. And that's exposure for a month. Can't get any cheaper than that (unless I did this for free and unfortunately I can't).

How the campaign works

The power behind Cover Wars is the community driven traffic. Bring your family, friends, and anyone else you can get—have them come to the site to vote for your book every day. By doing this you are helping your fellow competitors. Exposure for all!

The winner of Cover Wars gets free entry into the next month, extending the exposure ... so it's worth it to promote the campaign in general. Not only does it mean exposure for your fellow authors, it also means that your book might stick around to defend its title.

And you get all of this for only $5 (Cover Wars fee).

Scavenger Hunt: each scavenger will be encouraged to check out each book in the competition. They go to your book's Amazon page and answer a question about your book for a chance at a prize.

They can also choose to follow you on Twitter, like you on Facebook, not to mention check out your blog to answer another scavenger hunt question. Once again the exposure factor cannot be ignored.

Scavenger Hunt Giveaway: In addition to everything a normal scavenger hunt gets, those that pay for the giveaway get to showcase their book even more, offering copies to the winners. These copies can be digital, print, or both.

For the small additional giveaway fee, your book is not only included in the giveaway—it will be displayed more than a book that is simply in the Scavenger Hunt—and more prominently as well. A pic of all available books to be won will be used to showcase the giveaway.

Also, tweets that mention your book specifically will be used, whereas books just in the Scavenger Hunt or just Cover Wars aren't featured directly that way.

And, finally, books that are available in the giveaway will have a synopsis included—yet another way your book is exposed to the campaign participants.

Important Notes

Some have not been getting my emails, even if I email them via the contact email provided (over the email account associated with PayPal). So, I highly suggest you add my address to your contact list or approved list through your email provider so that my emails don't go to the Junk folder ... or at least check your Junk folder if you haven't heard from me.

Here's my email: msl_007@live.com

If you only sign up for Cover Wars, I don't need any additional info from you, so you won't hear from me until after the campaign starts. If you sign up for either version of the Scavenger Hunt, I will email you a few days to a week before the campaign starts—when exactly depends on how organized I am around that time.
