Georgiana Daniels Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I'm not clear on what you're asking - are you asking people to review your book and promote or advertise it for free? Yes, that's generally what a launch team does--help spread the word and launch the book. Reviews, social media, talking it up, etc. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Can you tell us a little bit more about your credentials and the book itself? Sure. Credentials: I'm a certified Tapping Into Wealth and Ignite Your Power coach - with two "specialties" - 1) Relieving stress around money and 2) deep forgiveness of self and others - going beyond "time heals all wounds" using EFT (acupressure tapping) to help physically calm the nervous system fight or flight stress response. Before I became certified, I used EFT as a self-healing tool for about 6 years. It saved my marriage and got me out of a pretty deep (situational) depression before I started homeschooling and helped me a lot as I dealt with the stress OF homeschooling, being a military spouse, and just life in general. I use it all the time. The book is "the book I wish I had" when I first started learning tapping. It's an introduction to tapping, and the scripts to use while you tap to calm your nervous system based on whatever emotion or situation is stressing you out at the moment. I wrote it to help other moms who get stressed out, too - if you know any of those :D. It's quite short. I wanted it simple and easy to navigate because no one wants to dig through a huge novel when they are stressed out and looking for quick and easy help! I'll be releasing it on Kindle and it will be free for the first two days for sure, and maybe a bit longer, and dirt cheap after that - Amazon has rules I have to follow on that. This one is a labor of love, because I hate to see people hurting when they don't have to! I'm asking for pre-readers, then if you find the information valuable or helpful, to review it on Amazon and tell your friends about it so that they can get it when it's Free when I release it to the public. I want as many moms as possible to benefit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 I'm not clear on what you're asking - are you asking people to review your book and promote or advertise it for free? Hi Tibbie, I think I answered your questions in my previous reply, but I'll add a bit more. I'm asking for people to review and give me feedback if I need to clarify something, then spread the word to your friends or someone you might know who will benefit from the information. If you read it, try it out, and don't find it beneficial or worthy of sharing, then you don't have to do anything. :) 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I will happily help. I know a little (tiny) bit about EFT and have always been intrigued to learn more. I shall pm you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmandaVT Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I'll PM you - DH took an EFT training last year and it's fascinating how well it works. I'd love to show it to him too if that's ok? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fraidycat Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 I should add that this is will be my only thread about this. I'll bump it up when it's free to download on Kindle, and add a link to my signature, but I won't be self-promoting it in every "I'm stressed out" post that I read. I'll go back to just giving hugs, good thoughts, and offering support where I can. I want all of you to benefit, but I'm not going to ram it down your throats or break board rules. (I hope this one isn't breaking the rules!) 8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fraidycat Posted February 28, 2018 Author Share Posted February 28, 2018 I'm not a high stress person. Would this book be easy for me to read and teach my kids? It's easy to read, for sure. And easy to teach your kids, although if they're like mine, there's a "you can lead the horse to water" aspect involved, LOL. I still make mine do it sometimes because it works so well. You might need to adapt the scripts a little bit into kid language - ie: mad instead of angry, jumpy instead of anxious, etc. depending on their ages. You can check it out - the price is right! :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alicia64 Posted March 18, 2018 Share Posted March 18, 2018 Hey Fraidy, Beautiful bio photo! I just wanted to share super helpful marketing book podcasts. I learned the most by listening to all four, but I carefully picked and chose the show segments I was most interested in: Joanna Penn's podcast. (Very good for book marketing.) Amy Porterfield. (Also excellent, but she teaches marketing for any business not just books.) Brook Castillo. (She's a life coach, and has two podcasts. The one on building a life coaching business gives really great marketing tips.) I also love the Passive Income guy. He also does two podcasts and his short one is excellent.

fraidycat Posted March 19, 2018 Author Share Posted March 19, 2018 Congratulations and good luck! I don't know if you have any control over what's included in the "see inside this book" feature, but if you do you might want to change it. Right now you've got all the front matter (title page, copyright page, dedication), the table of contents, an ad, and then only a tiny snippet of the introduction that talks about the problem (stress) but doesn't include any of the part where you make your case for your solution. Unfortunately, I don't have any control over that part. I saw that, too and wasn't overly impressed. I guess that is where reviews come in handy.
