I want to thank Emma Hart and SocialButterflyPR for the advance review copy of The Roommate Agreement. I love working with Emma because her books are always funny, enjoyable reads. Here is the Goodreads synopsis… “Let your homeless best friend stay with you, he said. Being roommates will be fun, he said. It’s only temporary, he said. He never said I’d fall for him. You know what isn’t ‘temporary?’ The endless stream of dirty socks in my bathroom and empty food packets under the sofa—and don’t even get me started on the hot guys who take over my living room every Sunday to watch sports. I can’t take anymore. So…

Lauren Blakely’s The Feel Good Factor ARC Review
Thank you to Lauren Blakely and the team at InkSlinger PR for providing me with the advance e-copy of The Feel Good Factor. I have been reviewing for Lauren for a while now and I love how consistent of an author she is. Lauren puts out stories every few months, and they are always enjoyable stories. Here is the Goodreads synopsis… “That inked bad boy who’s been flirting hard with me since he rode into town? Turns out he’s my new housemate, which is one hell of a problem since our chemistry is so hot it should be illegal. I have a fantastic family, great best friends, a job I…

Process Post Week 11: SEO Analyzer
This past week the tool SEO Analyzer was explored in class. So I decided to plug my url into the tool and to examine my results. Here is my score… I am pretty happy with a B+ for my SEO as I have only begun to strive to consider how good my SEO as I develop and grow my site. Some of the sites recommendations are… I had no idea that my heading tags are actually too short, such as About Me, Subscribe, and Contact Me. I want to do further research around just how long these headings should be. If I do decide to change them, I will make…

Sierra Simone’s A Lesson in Thorns ARC Review
Thank you to Sierra Simone and Candi Kane PR for the advance e-copy of A Lesson in Thorns. I have loved Sierra’s books for a while now so I jumped at the chance to review her latest series! For those of you not as aware of Sierra’s books, here is my warning now, these books are much harsher and on the much more mature end of the NA scale. Be warned that her books will not suit every reader. If you are aware of or love Sierra’s books already well I am happy to report A Lesson in Thorns will not disappoint! Here is the Goodreads synopsis… “Once upon a…

Nicole Williams’ Glass Castle Prince ARC Review
Thank you so much to Nicole Williams and the team at Ardent Prose for providing me with an advance e-copy of Nicole Williams’ newest release, Glass Castle Prince. Here is the Goodreads synopsis… “A glass castle shatters as easily as a glass house—all it takes is one stone. Prince Edward has known this all of his life, and taken staunch measures to ensure he doesn’t give the public any reason to pick up their rocks. Or torches. Or pitchforks. As a twenty-two-year-old in line to ascend the throne, he lives more like a cloistered monk than his college-aged peers. Restraint is the tone of his life, resilience the theme. That…

Process Post Week 10: Monetization
This week we focused on monetization strategies. The narrow focus on advertisements did not suit my needs. I fear advertising on my blog would chase away my audience for a few reasons. Ads would distract from my content Ads would not always benefit my content Other NA book blogs also refrain from traditional digital advertising Ads would distract from my content as they would steal away someone’s attention, maybe someone would even click on the ad bringing them away from my website entirely. Ads would not benefit my content as the even with all the controls google provides, there is no guarantee that every ad I get on my site…

Peer Review #3: Millennial Speaks
This week I will be reviewing Shar’s website, Millennial Speaks in which Shar dissects song lyrics, and has since expanded to posting about her 2 AM Thoughts and her own original songs. Business Plan and Monetization Shar’s apparent business plan is to bring enjoyment to her audience. I do not see anything that produces revenue for Shar on her website right now. I think there are options for monetization for Shar. She can always try advertising, I understand if she wants to avoid cluttering the website with ads, I feel the same way towards my website. It still is a legitimate option she could look at. Shar could also look…

Process Post Week 9: Creating a Brand Narrative
Last week we were provided with resources to help us create a visual representation of out brand narrative. I chose to look at using Biteable. I have already made a traditional infographic back in Publishing 101, so Biteable represented a chance to expand upon what I previously learned. Biteable allows for you to pinpoint what you are promoting within your brand, and then they suggest video templates for you to edit. I selected that I was explaining a concept from my brand, and I was given a template that I really liked. Biteable was easy to use and provided me with a quality video that explains where I am coming…
