Book promotions: Contest for free copies



Book promotions are often a challenge for authors as they struggle to get their works before the reading audience. Creative ideas are always needed, and some bloggers are developing some innovative book marketing techniques.

Ryan Schleicher of InBubbleWrap offers a weekly book contest, in cooperation with online book marketer 800-CEO-READ. For a fee, an author or publisher can list their book, and Ryan offers copies to several lucky readers. Simply register and have an opportunity to win the day's feature book.



Today's featured author is my friend Jeff Angus of the insightful blog Management By Baseball. Jeff has just published a companion book to his blog entitled Management by Baseball: The Official Rules for Winning Management in Any Field, published by the prestigious Harper Collins. In this informational home run of a book, Jeff Angus applies time tested baseball management concepts to business management. The result is a must read book for managers and business owners, whether they are baseball fans or not.

I'll be posting a complete book review of Management by Baseball: The Official Rules for Winning Management in Any Field later this week, both here and at 800-CEO-READ. You might want to watch for that review at either location. You can even read it both places if you want. The book is so new that it's not even released for public sale until May 2.

Ryan Schleicher of InBubbleWrap has 25 advance copies of the book available for giveaway. All you have to do is register for free, site back, and wait until your name is drawn.

The timeline to enter is Monday morning May 1 at 9:00 am Central (10:00 am Eastern, 7:00 am Pacific) to Tuesday morning May 2 at 9:00 am Central time.

Be sure to register for free, and win your free copy of this fine book.

For more powerful business and management ideas, and their proven basball analogy, steal home to Jeff Angus's Management By Baseball blog. I read Jeff's ideas all of the time. You should too.

In the meantime, register for free at InBubbleWrap and win a copy.

Update: My book review of Management By Baseball is now live here and is also cross posted at book marketing blog 800-CEO-READ.
