INDIETRIBE Newsletter, Spring 2013

A WARM HELLO TO ALL OUR MEMBERS OLD AND NEW

I’ve been completely taken aback by the number of writers and readers joining our ranks daily, and excited to realise that there are now enough of us to make a real impact in the marketplace in which we operate.

Not only will each member continue to benefit from all the promotion that INDIETRIBE affords them, we are now strong enough to help each other. But before we can do that, we have to identify each other.

 

 

LET’S ALL HASHTAG EVERY TWEET WE SEND WITH #indietribe 

If every one of us does this, we can all watch out for the hashtag when on twitter and then retweet, like, mention and favouirite like fury. You’ll be doing it for others, they’ll be doing it for you.

Also, make sure that you all follow INDIETRIBE on Twitter. We are @TheIndieTribeUK Obviously we’ll follow back immediately.

So come on – let’s harness the power! All for One, One for All!

 

 

NO MORE PROBLEMS ACCESSING INDIETRIBE AND SWITCHING PAGES WHEN YOU’RE THERE

I’m quite sure some of you have noticed a few blips when accessing and linking the INDIETRIBE blog. I’m delighted to report that all these teething problems have now been solved and the site is now operating very robustly indeed.

 

 

STILL NOT SUBMITTED YOUR BOOK FOR OUR SHOWCASE?

Can I remind any writer member who has not yet submitted their book to the INDIETRIBE Showcase to do so.

You can’t win it if you’re not in it – win readers that is.

We get a great response to each Showcase and many of the books featured cause quite a stir.

All I need is a short bio of you and your book blurb. I do the rest.

Whilst on the subject of Showcases, it would really help our authors if every member clicked the ‘Like’ button at the bottom of each Showcase. This would encourage more and more readers to buy their books. Every little action helps!

 

 

FOLLOW INDIETRIBE BY EMAIL

Make sure you don’t miss a single post by clicking the Follow Blog By Email button on any page.

This will ensure that you catch everything that happens and save me a lot of valuable time by not having to email members separately who have not elected to do this.

The time this will save will free INDIETRIBE to spend more time promoting you and your books

 

 

UPGRADE TO INDIETRIBE GOLD WHILE YOU CAN

Any member with more than one book to promote should think seriously about up-grading to INDIETRIBE GOLD. The value you get for a minimum outlay does beggar belief. I’m going to have to impose a membership limit before long or I’ll collapse with exhaustion – so get in before that happens! The membership limit that is – not me collapsing.

 

 

 

JOIN OUR BOOK REVIEW PANEL

I would be very interested to hear from any member who is an established author with a love of reading, and experience in positively reviewing a variety of books. It is my intention to set up a small panel of voluntary reviewers to help in the task of reviewing books on behalf of our members. Please contact me directly on c_bray1@sky.com

 

 

 

 

FOLLOW, FOLLOW, FOLLOW

The more people that follow INDIETRIBE on Twitter, Facebook, Goodreads, Linkedin, Google+ and everything that moves, the better for all of us.

More and more exposure is what we all need and united we can set the world alight.

Strength in numbers! That’s always been the case and always will be. Encourage every one you know to join INDIETRIBE and wave the flag for Indie authors.

That’s what we do!

Thanks for taking the time to read our first Newsletter and I look forward to continually waving the Indie flag with you and enjoying more and more success.

Very Best regards,

Charlie
