Actually, Jonah Mammon is a total creepazoid and probably a bit of a rapist. But these aren't mutually exclusive concepts, so...

I'm sincerely writing chapter 28 as a Choose Your Own Adventure book. Thelonius will either slay the anime body pillow, become it's new love slave, die 3 ways from it, fall off a cliff, drown, end up his random female mooks love slave, or find the hidden dwarf village and become a level 5 paladin.

Azure_Horizon posted:Someone post the Game of Bones link to the GoT Facebook page, here: https://www.facebook.com/GameOfThrones?fref=ts So I was thinking... 1) get a facebook page 2) I will purchase a FB ad campaign, it will target people with interests "GoT, GRRM, Furry, etc". 3) I will only purchase "sponsored" ads, which means it will show up in the feeds of these fans. 4) Reap the Whirlwind This is your all party, so I don't want to just sweep in and reg the FB page... ah actually, I will.. but I'll hand it over to ya'll authors. Just ping me. Consider the ad buy my minor contribution to this clusterfuck. I will wait to purchase ads until GoB is on amazon/itunes. The page needs 25 likes to register the URL facebook.com/gameofbones https://www.facebook.com/pages/Game-of-Bones/186692488138540 If you have already regg'd a fb page, let me know, and I'll delete mine.

I thought we were holding off ad campaigns until we get on Amazon? Also we might want to consider advertising here. Goons would be a nice source of income.

Commercial ads here are $30 per banner, and you have to compete with :getswole: and :amazon:, so it's a toss-up. What do sponsored ads on fbook cost?
|

But an ad linking to a post which has all the purchasing information would be much cheaper! Also, those buys should have come from a bet another guy lost. I'll look into it further.

An SA Banner ad is $7.99 if it links to an SA thread. Therefore, someone can start a thread in SA Mart (check with mod) or just have DMP update the OP so the very top of the post is the ad and link to smashwords/Amazon.

Well I can pony up the dough for one ad (no more than that, sorry I'm loving poor) if you guys want. But you fuckers better come up with a drat good banner because I sure as poo poo don't have one. Here's my suggestion: I've been stupid enough to click on those ads that have the women in those skimpy anime cosplays so maybe do something like that. Of course, my data pool so far consists of me so take that for what you will in terms of marketing research.

Definitely hot cosplay girls, they are irresistible even though I know the link will just lead to anime or video games. I would also be willing to buy an ad for this.

SaviourX posted:Commercial ads here are $30 per banner, and you have to compete with :getswole: and :amazon:, so it's a toss-up. Not sure, the cost varies. I will set a daily budget, and the ad runs until it uses that up. I think its funny as poo poo, so I'm just going to spend some money on it for fun and to troll GRMMsters. If it is actually profitable, I'm sure someone else can figure out how to do the ad spend.

I think AGOB being published prodded GRRM into action:NihilCredo posted:Speaking of GRRM, the good news is that he's writing. The bad news is that he's writing "fake history", which sounds less like Winds of Winter than that cash-grab splatbook nobody cares about.

I agree with making a new thread in SA Mart that explains details of the book, along with links to available retailers and to this thread, rather than using this thread to sell the book. I also agree with holding off buying ANY ad until the book is on Amazon.

Well, last night I had a dream where I found and was reading The Winds of Winter, and at first it honestly seemed like the next book of the series, but it rapidly degenerated into a National Lampoon farce which ended with things like Cersai being shoved into the rear end in a top hat of some giant creature and GRRM turning into a giant monster whose rear end in a top hat may or may not have been what Cersei was shoved in and rampaging through a town. I blame this thread. I hope it's happy and that I inspired a scene in A Dance With Dongs or whatever it's called.

thornghost posted:Sorry guys, out of town and stuck on my phone. Well, since no one has mentioned this, A GAME OF BONES WILL NEVER GET ON AMAZON THRU SMASHWORDS. They say they ship to Amazon, but that's been a pending deal/vaporware/wishful thinking for years now and it will never happen. You have to put it on Amazon yourself through their KDP program. Smashwords is also VERY hit or miss when it comes to propagating to the iTunes store, and you'll have to check that it's there yourself. If it gets rejected from the iBookstore for whatever reason you will never find out what that reason is. Make any blurbs as clean as possible to get on iTunes, and make a disclaimer that all characters who engage in boning are over 18. The cover is okay for getting on iTunes, but you might as well just drop five bucks for an image off a site like CanStockPhoto or whatever to get something better. You can also get onto iTunes through Lulu and I hear the wait time is significantly less (I have a bunch of titles from November still waiting to get onto iTunes from SW; it is a huge pain in the rear end). But you know, rape, lemoncakes, I can't tell if you guys are serious or not about selling this but your hard launch will never happen if you rely on smashwords. edit: the first few posts in the Goonerotica thread in BFC will tell you all you need to know, but that's the gist of it.

That fat oval office is probably just writing a sentence at a time on WoW, and his half dozen 'other projects' are all wild cards, 'natch'. Fuuuuuck. Oh, and probably crafting the bheer label. (Which as retarded as that idea sounds, I loving love Belgian ales, and Duvel is a good one and oh godddd)
