Dreamtreaders: The Amazon Blitz Protocol. Activation: May 6th
Dreamtreaders: The Amazon Blitz Protocol. Activation: May 6th
{Cue Mission Impossible Music}
Your mission, should you chose to accept it, is to purchase Dreamtreaders from Amazon.com on May 6th using the link provided above. That's it. That's all you have to do.
Unless you win.
If you win, you have to do other stuff…like collect prizes.
How do you win? What do you win? Read on.
Dreamtreaders currently sits at 55,000th on Amazon's Sales Rank. Not bad for a book that hasn't been released yet. But not good enough. Each time someone purchases a book from Amazon, it gives a little boost to the sales rank. If people purchase the book in a confined area of time, it gives a multiplied boost to the sales rank. And this boost has a way of lingering...
A ranking in the Top 100 will usually fuel other sales as folks go looking for a "good book" in the sales rankings. And the ranking goes up.
I will monitor the Amazon Sales Rank for Dreamtreaders all day on May 6th.
The better the ranking, the better your prize(s).

How to collect your prizes:
Starting on May 6th, if you purchase a copy of Dreamtreaders, email me at batguy21784 (at) yahoo (dot) com. Put this in the subject line: I Blitzed Amazon
I will reply to your email and attach a ZIP File with all the goodies in it.
If we reach a high enough level, I'll also need a mailing address and a name for whoever I'm signing the bookplate sticker for.
What Else Can You Do?
Buying Dreamtreaders is huge. If you do that, thank you. But there are other things you can do to help that Sales Rank number climb:
• Blog about it with pics and links
• Tweet it out
• Any other social media
• Word of mouth
