John 3:16 Marketing Network Giveaway-Blog-Hop May 7-May 14, 2012

 




Welcome to the 1st John 3:16 Giveaway Blog Hop! As one of the members of this great network of Christian Authors, I am excited to participate in this event! We have come together this week to showcase our books and to give you, our readers, a chance to win some great prizes as you "hop" from blog to blog. 


A different prize is offered at each blog site (no purchase necessary). 


However, if you want to win one of two Kindles that the network is giving away, the only requirement is that you sign up for the John 3:16 ezine newsletter (Located at the top right side column of this site, the John 3:16 blog site).








At the other blogs, authors may require that you leave a comment (and a valid email address) so they may contact you if you win a prize offered on their blog site. 


May I also suggest that you show your love and appreciation to each blog host by either following them on Twitter, or "liking" them on Facebook or even subscribing to their blog (or joining). It won't help your odds of winning a prize but I know each author would be thrilled and very encouraged! 


In addition to signing up for the John 3:16 Ezine, by clicking on the book cover for Taste and See (below), you can receive the FREE Kindle book. Taste and See is an anthology of first chapters by over sixty of our authors.






Notice on the upper right-hand column, we have a mobile app for the blog hop. Download the app on your Smartphone and you can hop from blog to blog via your iPhone or Android!

Another Opportunity to Share My Passion for the John 316 Network

0 of 4 people found the following review helpful
2.0 out of 5 stars
How to self publish, April 20, 2012 
By A. Domanska "Coffee Addict" (Port Stephens, Australia) 
This review is from: How to Launch a Christian Best-Seller Book, The John 316 Marketing Network Manual (Kindle Edition) 

"If being successful using the print on demand medium and a network of enablers is your goal, you may get something out of this book."



Here is my response: 

Please note that most of the authors in our network are not published by Print on Demand but are traditionally published.
My books are published by Print on Demand, but I am in the minority rather than the majority. I chose to publish this way for a variety of reasons. But we don't make a distinction. The question I asked myself when I started the Network is does God really care how books are published? I mean, publishing is a man-made invention. Scripture was written by hand in letters to people, to churches, and others. Oftentimes, it becomes a source of pride if an author isn't careful. Again, we deliberately don't make a distinction.

Enablers -- yes we are definitely enablers. We are enabling the reader to have choices.
They are the gatekeepers now of what they want to read rather than it being determined by an overworked, oftentimes underpaid editor sitting at a slush pile. There is always gold in those slush piles, some gems that probably in the past missed being discovered. Limitations put on the editor by a publishing house and economics in the past dictated many of those decisions.

We are enabling Christian worldview books to have greater exposure.
We are enabling all Christian authors to help each other get their books rated higher as they compete against books that do not present a Christian worldview. One of the best ways to do that is through social networking and "enabling" Christian authors to connect. In so doing, we are spreading the Gospel to the reading world on many different levels, just as the church preaches it from the pulpit, just as missionaries share the Gospel on the missionary field. We do it with our "pen."

 As is stated in the Bible, "They will know we are Christians by our love." We fight a spiritual war and the best way to win that battle is through love. Thanks for your review. I always look at the lowest review of any book as it tends sometimes to say more about the value of a book and the reviewer than any of the five-star reviews. You have given me another opportunity to share my passion for the John 316 Marketing Network.

What Others Are Saying!

It contains many pertinent observations about the state of the book industry today, particularly based on the author's efforts to market her inspiring book "Children of Dreams." But of most value is a wealth of very specific information about achieving success with your book on Amazon. This alone makes the book a great and valuable read, whether or not you actually join the Network.
--Author Martin Roth

A place where Christian authors help others launch their books and bring Christian books out into a world that needs them.
--Author Amanda Stephan
How to Launch a Christian Bestseller is a lifesaver for any Christian writer who hopes to succeed in the marketing side of being a writer. Every writer dreams of selling books, but most writers don't really want to do the selling. In my own case, the first time I seriously contemplated what was required to sell books, I went into a personal state of panic. Selling is sooooo not me.
