One of the best things I did was set up the Music Overlord Mega Read Team.
It is critically important to get reviews on new comic books as soon as they launch.
Everyone and their granny always checks for reviews before they purchase something online. I know I do. Reviews help drive early sales which, in turn, means that Amazon turns it’s massive big head and starts to
market
on my behalf. And Amazon rules in this space.
To make that a reality, not virtual, I have a small team of “ Mega Readers". It’s pretty simple and is, I hope, a total hoot. It involves being sent a copy of whatever comic or book I’ve just finished and then, when it’s published, firing up a quick and honest review. It’s so simple.
Some members of the team have picked up my obvious
errors
and mentioned how I suck. But hey, that just helps me improve, right? Just don’t bruise my mini ego. =)
Apart from getting a copy of the book before anyone else, I try and say thanks with some nice freebies. I might give away some
free
sign copies and little extras.
I try and keep the mega reader team relatively small. There are a couple of spots at the moment and if you would like to get involved, go ahead and sign up.
Welcome the Music Overlord Mega Reader Team!
