A couple of days late with my Tuesday journal entry because we have a new family member here at Riker Books.
An affluent little fella, who goes by the name of Theodore Percy III, who took over my day to debut his maiden comic, Caviar NOW!
(See previous post)
But that's okay, we straightened it out. He now understands Tuesdays belong to me 😆
So yeah, now that the silver spoon is in the right place, I can announce the winner of my personal pen!
🥁🥁🥁Justin B! 🥁🥁
I won't mention his last name to respect his privacy, but don't worry, it's not Bieber!
Congrats, Justin!
As soon as I get your mailing address, I'll send the pen off to you;)
And now on to some other announcements…
The relaunch of the Honeysuckle Intern is always on my mind, and to get there, I really need to grow this newsletter, so I have more of a conversion rate when it comes to backers on kickstarter.
It is said that about 10%-30% of prelaunch followers become actual backers.
As mentioned before, I will try to get a few pages done on my own again before the next launch, so I think the funding goal next time around will be $4500.
This crunches down to needing about 80 to 145 backers, depending on their pledge amount.
That's upwards of 1,800 prelaunch followers needed!
Exhausted yet? 😆!
What to do,
what to do…
Marketing gods, bestow upon me the secret sauce✨️
So I'm pondering running some facebook ads🤔
As I let the idea marinate in my noodle bowl, wanted to let you know what I have planned for next week's newsletter.
(You sharing this newsletter is always deeply appreciated!)
I wanna show you some highlights of my neck of the woods, as well as a few more new fun sections, so stay tuned for some photos and collected musings😉
On another note, I've decided to change the primary book cover image for, The Honeysuckle Intern
The three covers that were available last time around will still be options, as variant covers, but I'll be going with this one for the main cover.
