Deadline tonight for discount on Blog Templates for Authors

 

My bundle of 17 Blog Post Templates for Authors has been flying off the digital shelves all weekend. They’re on sale until midnight (Pacific Time) tonight—Monday, March 2—for only $67…that’s $30 off the retail price.

 

A few authors asked us if we’d demonstrate exactly how to use them. 

 

You need absolutely no technical skills whatsoever. The templates work regardless of whether you write fiction or nonfiction, use WordPress or Blogspot, publish your blog using a PC or a Mac. 

 

Andrea Patten, one of our beta testers, told us:

 

“I was able to draft a 400-word post in about 15 minutes. It’s not the type of post I normally write but your template made it easy to try something new. It works. It’s good. I want more.”

 

When creating the templates, I chose topics that work for fiction and nonfiction. They include:

Template #1: Short Book Review and Excerpt

Template #2: Pros and Cons of A and B

Template #3: When to Use A and When to Use B

Template #4: How to Pitch a Guest Post for My Blog
Template #5: Cool Tools I Learned About at…
Template #6: Top 10 Tweets of the Week

Template #7: This Week in the Blogs

Template #8: Fun Facts About Where My Novel Takes Place
Template #9: Fun Facts You Didn’t Know About Me
Template #10: How (Fill in the blank) Sparks My Creativity
Template #11: 15 Articles on (Blank) for (Blank)
Template #12: An Interview

Template #13: The Top Mistakes and How to Fix Them
Template #14: Review of a Movie or Play That Ties into Your Book
Template #15: A Character Sketch of My Hero
Template #16: How I Name My Characters

Template #17: An Introduction to My Media Kit

 

 Thanks to the generous authors who let me use their blog posts as inspiration for some of the templates I created:

 

Rick Hocker, Betsy Robinson, Anne Randolph, Ruth L. Snyder and Cathy Strasser.

 

Thanks, too, to my Publicity Hounds who volunteered to beta-test the templates: Kathy Watson, Lynda Lippin, Andrea Patten, Ellen Bahsen, Gail Rubin, Kate McCormick  and Julie Hawkins. 

 

If you missed the free training I did with book publishing expert Joel Friedlander last Thursday to introduce the templates, you can watch the replay here. We shared “7 Fast, Easy Ways to Bring Traffic to Your Author Blog.”

 I’m curious. What did we teach you about blogging that you didn’t know or that you were surprised to hear?
