Promote Your Stories

Ideas to Help You Earn More Royalties!

E-MAIL DIRECT LINKS FOR YOUR SHORT STORIES to friends and family. Ask them to tell others! To add a direct link, just go to www.authorlink.com/thrillerwire and navigate to YOUR story heading, then copy and paste the link into your e-mail. It will take visitors directly to a summary of YOUR story. Here's an example. For Jon Land's short story, THE SEVEN SINS: THE TYRANT ASCENDING, he would paste the link: http://www.authorlink.com/thrillerwire/story/2. Or embed the live link like this:
- Support your favorite authors. See my newest short story on ThrillerWire at Authorlink.com: THE SEVEN SINS: THE TYRANT ASCENDING by Jon Land. Every time you download and read my story, I MAY earn a royalty (unless the download is offered free).
ADD THE LINK TO YOUR E-MAIL SIGNATURE LINE. Copy and paste a similar link and wording into your e-mail signature line so that every time you send out e-mail people will see it.
CONTACT YOUR LOCAL LIBRARY: Ask your local library to post a notice in their newsletter or a notice on their community service board to "Support Your Local Author."
CONTACT YOUR LOCAL NEWS MEDIA (newspaper, radio, TV, community access). You can use the press release at http://www.authorlink.com/news/item/1136 , then add the link to YOUR stories.
VISIT ONLINE CHAT ROOMS. Leave messages in chat rooms and on message boards about your story, with the direct link(s) to your summary page(s).
BUY NICE POSTCARDS from your office supply store and a box of large mailing labels. Print your message on sheets of labels (with the direct link to your summary page) and paste a label to each card and mail to friends and associates.
