Hi Awesome Author

 

Yesterday I told you about the 12 year anniversary of our first book promotion site AwesomeGang.com What started as a labor of love and my selfish way of promoting my own books turned into something much more.  A community of caring authors that help each other.

 

When the site started picking up I started a Facebook group in September of 2012. Slowly building our little community of authors.

 

After the site was up for a few months Google started giving it love in the search engines around mid October 2012. It took six months or so to get the site noticed by Google and then as the submissions started to come in like gangbusters a hurricane wiped us out and put 8 feet of water in our house in NYC.

 

I spent most of the days after the storm throwing away everything we owned and trying to find food and warm clothes. It wasn't fun to say the least.  The author community didn't really know how bad it was for us. My stupid pride got in the way but the few that knew sent us all sorts of things. We are forever grateful to them. At the same time this was happening our $10 featured ad started to take off as it was mentioned on a few forums.

 

Since having internet was almost impossible I had to have my daughter in law start working on the site from her home in Arizona. My main concern was that authors trusted me to promote their books and it had to be done at all cost. It was a crazy "all hands on deck" time. We got it done though.

 

It was hard to rehash that right now. Think I will save the rest of how we ended up with more than one book promotion site for another day. Maybe I should start a podcast and explain it in my own voice since that is easier. Would you want to hear a podcast on this? Hit reply and let me know.
