It's just where you sign up for my SUPERHERO CREATORS GROUP so I can keep you in my database in case you're interested in doing group promos together.
In our first promo even the newbies got 600 email subscribers and made a comic anthology, so that was rad, and I've earned thousands of email subs in subsequent promos I've joined. I do literally 10x more sales when I leverage my email list for group promos!
It just seems like we all do better when we all work together, so that's this database. You're probably seeing this form because we met, and I thought you were cool.
This is just a silly little Jen-database, not some crazy mastermind, but I actually want what we do to succeed - so I may share resources like "here's how this kind of collaborative marketing works and here are studies on open rates" stuff weekly 'til I'm convinced everyone's all caught up. I made some cute little free marketing automation pdfs and such to get us all on the same page.
At some point I run out of resources to share, at which point you hear from me like...never.
I share these resources because I've had the problem before where some people I've worked with accidentally did scammy stuff to promote their book, or didn't pull their weight in joint promos, not because they're a shill, but just because they were never taught inbound marketing philosophy.
I also know a lot of creators with really shitty open rates. Which sucks! I'm no super-marketer, and I've gotten reviews on my books that literally referenced how good my emails are, so I feel like any old schmo can at least achieve a 35-40 percent open rate.
So, since higher open rates for the group means more eyes on our promos, and therefore more sales for me, too, I would like everyone to have higher open rates and more clicks. ^_^ And this goes both ways! If you know more than me, please say so, and I'll share your wisdom!
Oh, and maybe this shouldn't have to be said, but you don't have to buy jackshit (I've seen those groups!). If I mention something that costs money, that I think is cool, like Mailerlite, or StoryOrigin, or the Comics Contacts List, and that's not for you, no worries - we'll find alternatives. I just want to make sure we all have the same shot at radness.
A'ight, I think that's it. You're welcome to sign up for the database below:
But you are.
