We have some great prizes to be won! If you want to be a prize donor or sponsor in our contest, more details are at the end of this post.<\/p>\n<p>The BookBuzzr Author Pro product which launched about a year ago, has quickly become our star product as evidenced by:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The fact that several Amazon bestselling authors including <a href=\"https:\/\/bookbuzzr.com\/blog\/author-interviews\/how-to-become-a-top-ranked-book-on-amazon%E2%80%99s-kindle-store\/\">Ellen Maze<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/bookbuzzr.com\/blog\/author-interviews\/how-to-become-a-top-ranked-book-in-the-kindle-store\/\">Michael Hicks<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/bookbuzzr.com\/blog\/author-interviews\/how-to-increase-your-books-amazon-rank\/\">Susan Bischoff<\/a> are using BookBuzzr Author Pro for their book marketing.<\/li>\n<li>The fact that several authors have gone in for multiple BookBuzzr Author Pro subscriptions (amounting to hundreds of dollars a year.) For example, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.chappellhillumc.org\/newpages\/SpiritTalk.htm\">author Rev. Paula J Behrens<\/a> has over 8 books subscribed for the Pro plan.<\/li>\n<li>The fact that over 99% of authors stay on after the first month free trial period<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>These stats do not even begin to reflect the qualitative evidence that we see about BookBuzzr. Each week we receive several emails and Twitter messages from book readers who visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.freado.com\">Freado<\/a> and from authors. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> Author <a href=\"http:\/\/www.brianjeffreys.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Brian Jeffreys<\/a> recently commented:<em>&#8220;I  am still seeing strong book sales this month and I know it is partly  because you are such a great help to get my book in front of readers!   Keep up the good work.&#8221;<\/em><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/authorlindanelson.weebly.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Linda Nelson<\/a> commented: <em>&#8220;I  love the improvements made to the site. I can now see my link for  checking messages at the top of my Author page on fReado and there now  is a forum on the site&#8221; :)<br \/>\nWoot! Thanks fReado for making the site even better :)<\/em><em> <\/em><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/pastorbobby.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">Pastor Bobby Keating<\/a> commented on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/FreadoWinBooks?sk=wall\" target=\"_blank\">Freado Facebook fan page<\/a>: <em>&#8220;I am extremely impressed with the results that I am getting with the marketing techniques in the pro plan. Good job guys! <\/em><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>As time has gone on, we&#8217;ve learned more about what authors really need. And we&#8217;re working on new technologies that will directly impact the sales in a more tangible manner. We hope that our family of nearly 7,000 authors today grows to 7 million in the years to come.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>BookBuzzr Grand Contest<\/strong> will run for a week, with daily prizes and a Grand Prize at the end of the week. If you&#8217;d like to partner with us in this contest as a prize donor or sponsor please let us know through the form below before the 10th of June 2011 or email Freya at &#8211; freya [at] bookbuzzr [dot] com<\/p>\n<p>***Sponsors and Prize donors will be listed on the contest page with a logo of their company or a book cover and a link to their website.
