The Masquerade Crew

This is a continuation of the following posts: 96% Royalty — How It's Possible Does your book qualify? The first post introduced my idea of a new site that promotes books and works like a bookstore at the same time. How will this work?

This is a continuation of this post where I officially introduced my idea to start a new site geared toward book promotion with a twist. Check it out if you haven’t already. The question for this post is this: does your book qualify for this new site?

I’ve hinted at it on Twitter and even given one follower a sneak peek. It’s time to blog about it. I’m working on a new site to help Indie authors promote their books. However, this won’t be your typical book promotion site — there’s a twist to it. It will also serve as a bookstore.

The following (except for the pic) is syndicated from the blog Never burn your apron and is posted here with permission. Will I be too late?

The Masquerade Crew is about ten or eleven months old (depending on how you're counting the days), and I've learned a lot in this short timeframe. Since part of my goal is to promote authors and their blogs, I tend to visit a lot of them. I've noticed a few trends that make some blogs not as great as they could be. There are a lot of tips about how to turn a fizzling blog into a hurricane, but I'm going to narrow this post down to four tips about your actual blog posts.

Because of the popularity of our normal syndicated posts (and because I'm always looking to expand our services), I'm offeirng authors and bloggers a chance to showcase their blog posts on a regular basis through a syndicated column feature. This is kind of like normal syndication on steroids, having all the features of the normal version but with a few additional perks.

This is what I tweeted: Writers, tweet the last sentence you just wrote for your WIP. #amwriting — The Masquerade Crew (@MasqCrew) July 8, 2012 The following is what I got back.
