LOOKING FOR 300 AUTHORS TO SIGN-UP FOR AN AMAZING NEW PROMOTIONAL TOOL. THESE 300 WILL GET TO TRY IT FREE!!!!

Hey everyone!

My name is Natalie and I'm the co-creator of a REALLY cool new Amazon-affiliated website called Authortrade.com. Authortrade.com lets authors help one another gain a level of exposure they've never been able to get before! We let you trade book sales with other authors to get your book circulating, get you honest reviews, and with consistent daily trades you can boost your Amazon sales rank to a position you have never been able to reach before- meaning the public can actually start to see your book.

We tested the system with sixty authors (who loved it) last week and we're ready to launch as soon as we reach 300 sign-ups. Those sign-ups will be able to use us for free when we launch to help us get started! You are obligated to NOTHING and will not be charged AT ALL when you sign up. It just means you'd like to get an email when we're ready to go because you would be interested in trying us for free at that time.

Please go to Authortrade.com and use our "Register" page to give us your email and let us know what price-point you'd like to trade your ebook at. Would you only be able to afford listing your book at .99 and trading with other books at .99? Would you only trade at 2.99? Would you rather trade at your full ebook price of 5.99? Most publishers have indicated to us that they would like to use us during promotional weeks for their authors, but only at higher prices. Most self-published authors only want to trade at .99. We do offer all of these price points, but would only contact you about the price-points you indicate you are interested in. The first 300 users that sign up will have to pay for their trades, but we will let you try the site for free -which means we will automatically match you with the number of trades you pick to do for free and will let you use our automated social media swap button for free.

This is the ULTIMATE authors helping authors website. There is simply no faster, more effective, and affordable way to get this much exposure. Please be one of the first 300 to sign-up and help us get started! Trading is nothing new, but we are the FIRST TO EVER AUTOMATE THE IDEA. We don't think you should be spending hours a night on message boards looking for support for your book. Let us do the work for you. We think writers should spend their time doing what they love and do best-writing.

Hope you sign up!
Best,
Natalie
