About a month ago, I did a free giveaway weekend for Imminent Danger. For that giveaway, I went all out, leveraging all my social media sites to promote the free giveaway as much as possible. The grand total was 2800+ downloads.
Last Sunday, I did a 1-day stealth giveaway. No social media mentions, no promoting the book anywhere. I didn’t even tell my own mother about it. The grand total was 118 downloads.
What does this tell us?
- Telling people about your giveaway is a good idea (duh)
- Two day giveaways are (probably) better than one day
- People will still stumble across and download your book by random chance
That’s pretty much all I’ve got to report. Stay warm, everyone!
Unrelated media of the day:
As you may know, I recently went on vacation with my mother and brother, and I thought I’d share a couple of pictures. View and enjoy!
Jesse and I at the gates to the new Fantasyland addition in the Magic Kingdom. I believe I’m supposed to be flapping my arms like wings, although with us, it’s hard to be sure.
Mom and Jesse inside the Beast’s castle. Note Jesse’s “Family Reunion” badge.
Mother tries the “grey stuff”. It’s delicious.
Mother attempts to stop the hose from unraveling while Jesse fills up the tires of our rental car.
Jesse contemplates tire filling.
Myself on the cruise ship, attempting to schedule our days so we hit every single trivia game. Eating and sleeping be damned!

That looks like a really fun trip.
It was! Definitely didn’t last as long as I would have liked, but it was a blast 🙂 Best part was seeing my family again.
Vacations always seem too short. I say wallpaper a room with pictures of it, get a deck chair, and relax with a drink. 🙂
Awesome photos! 😀
Woo! We’re not exactly professional photographers, but we try our best, lol.
Looks like a fun trip. Welcome back.
Many thanks! Halifax has gifted me with a snow storm to celebrate my return, lol.
