It was a dark and stormy … Hey BRAD you spilled your greek yogurt on my freaking MacBook Pro, dude! Can you PLEASE just stay on your side of the table while I am writing my pitch lines? GAW…

Brad’s six. He likes to move things around. And me, I just started writing a novel, which I am pretty sure will be brilliant. I am not sure what it will be about.

But …

It will sell because I have a website already set up to promote it.

I added a click funnel to capture email addresses.

My daily e-blasts include links to Patreon and GoFundMe so people can support me. Greek yogurt ain’t cheap, amirite Brad?

Oh, I bought multiple online ad placements to test several working titles. Each targets a representative slice of an assumed core demographic. Click data will determine which title I use and the main character’s age, gender, and lifetsyle.

My ads link through to a landing page that offers a free chapter download, once they supply a little more personal information, of course. *wink*

My email drip campaign is scheduled out for the next eight months.

I created a subreddit and a half dozen fake accounts to start chatting it up. It’s already trending.
