5 Reasons To Join The Social Butterfly Promotion Membership

One of the hardest parts about book promotion is figuring out what to do to reach your readership.

I created the Social Butterfly Membership because I want to help authors become better book promoters.

I can't offer promotion training every day, so the membership is my way to do that.

Becoming a Social Butterfly is a commitment. It doesn’t happen overnight.

Becoming a Social Butterfly means you have to be ready to kick fear off the couch because you will be doing a lot of things that scare you but you will do it anyway.

Becoming a Social Butterfly means you have to be ready to invest in you and your books.

Becoming a Social Butterfly is all about implementing. You can’t get results if you aren’t implementing.

Are you ready to become a Social Butterfly?

Today I will share with you Five reasons to join the Social Butterfly Promotion membership

The membership helps you to get ready for promotion - this membership is for the new author who is ready to learn about book promotion. Inside the portal are all the videos and workshops I’ve created that focus on getting ready for book promotion are there for you to learn from. I recommend you schedule your training time for one hour once or twice a week and learn something new.

Your book launched and you need help to keep it in front of readers.

Inside the membership I will give you monthly assignments or challenges to help you stay consistent with your book promotion. No more trying to figure out what to do next.

You need new ideas to stay consistent with your promotion.

Our monthly brainstorming sessions will keep you with fresh ideas to help you with your promotion. The best part you receive my ideas and your fellow membership members ideas too.

You want accountability for your promotion.

Sometimes we need someone to keep us on track when it comes to our promotion. The membership will help you stay on top of your book promotion with assignments, monthly meetings and a private FB group to help keep you motivated.

You want to work with LaShaunda

Each month in the brainstorm session you get to pick LaShaunda’s Brain. Bring those promotion questions and let’s get you on the path to becoming a Social Butterfly.

Those are my five reasons to join the Social Butterfly Promotion Membership.

I love working with authors excited about their books. Who show up for the training and start implementing the next day. They are ready to showcase their wings with the fun promotion ideas we come up with together.

I don’t have time for promotion isn’t in their vocabulary. They know they have to make time because they are serious about building their readership. They love seeing their royalty checks show the results of their promotion.

Book Of The Day - Gray Hawk's Lady by Karen Kay

Different worlds, one heart.
Blackfoot Warriors, Book 1

When Lady Genevieve Rohan joins her father in the farthest reaches of the American West, she expects to bring a bit of genteel English charm to his dry, academic existence. Instead, she finds her father desperately ill, and it’s up to her to finish his study of the Indian and publish his work—or face the wrath of his creditors.

Her troubles mount when the men hired to capture a member of the Blackfoot tribe don’t bring her a docile maid to study. They present her with a magnificent warrior—proud, outrageously handsome and simmering with fury at the loss of his freedom.

The white woman is beautiful beyond compare, but Gray Hawk can’t think past his plan to exact revenge against this meddling foreigner. It’s ridiculously easy to escape, then turn the tables and take her captive. When anger turns to passion, then to love, he embarks on a new quest. To claim the stubborn, red-headed vixen as his own.

Yet as their hearts strain toward each other, pride conspires to pull them apart…unless they can each find a way for their hearts to become one.

Warning: Sensuous romance that contains a raging, simmering love, consumed by its fire and destined to explode at any moment.

This book is the 25th Year Edition

Book Picks Of The Week - June 7th

Ruby’s Season by Yvonne Hooks

Ruby Ellis’ new season began when her husband ran off with a younger woman and she was forced to move from her beloved suburban home to a rental in an older neighborhood. With three girls to raise alone, another man in her life was a moot point. Love hurt, it was fickle, it was betrayal; all the things Ruby could do without.

Carl Henderson’s wife died five years ago but he never moved on. Trying to raise a son, support his mother and the demands of his high-powered job consumed all his attention. Then one day by he passed a house where a beautiful woman and her daughters were working in the yard and everything changed. Carl was captivated by this mysterious woman who preferred her privacy to hide behind, keeping the world at bay. He secretly lowered the payments on a rental house he owned so she could afford to move there.

Through Carl’s charm and big heart Ruby realized she was falling for this handsome businessman. Just as she cautiously opened her heart a tiny crack, she discovered he was keeping a secret from her that would turn her guarded world upside down.

Can Ruby see beyond the treachery of her first husband to trust Carl enough with his plans for them? Will he be able to create the magic in making this her best season yet? Ruby’s season will take you on a journey of love lost, love found and the power of love.

Book Of The Day - Iron Wolf's Bride by Karen Kay

Iron Wolf's Bride

I will return to you, my love…

Jane Glenforest's father believed she was too young to marry, so he’d stolen her and her newborn son away from the handsome Assiniboine Indian she’d wed and taken her to Surrey, England. In spite of divorce papers and rumors he’s wed another, Jane’s never forgotten the man who’d stolen her heart and given her son legitimacy. When Buffalo Bill's Wild West show comes to England—bringing her ex-husband with it—Jane’s curious to see her lost love, in spite of her new fiancé.

Although Iron Wolf's purpose in working for Bill Cody's Wild West show is to fulfill his father's vision to find and stop a deceiver, he fell in love with and married Jane Glenforest. But, no sooner had Jane given birth than her father stole her away. Now, a few years later, Iron Wolf is arriving in England with the hope of rekindling the love he once shared with Jane. However, instead of love, he finds his wife loathes him, believing he has married another. And, when he discovers she is engaged to another man, he declares war on both her and the fiancé.

But when their son is kidnapped, Jane and Iron Wolf must work together to rescue him. And, as danger escalates, they discover trusting each other might be the only way to save their son. Will Jane and Iron Wolf learn to forgive one another, to reignite the embers of a passion that never died, or will the lies of a deceiver destroy their love forever?

Warning: Rediscovered love might cause sleepless nights spent in the arms of one's true love.

Have You Read - Love can Come Softly by W Parks Brigham

Renae Armstrong and Stanley Malone are two mature adults who are living life to its fullest and quite satisfied with how they are doing so.

Nevertheless, family and friends feel their lives are too predictable and complacent. And what’s wrong with that? Family and friends also feel a special love would add that extra element to make life that much more rewarding and fulfilling. Okay, that’s a great idea, whenever that special person comes along. Until then, they are very satisfied and consider themselves fortunate and blessed for so many wonderful reasons. For instance, health and strength, job, security, and most importantly, they have experienced enough of life’s pain and heartaches to say, ‘I’m good’.

As far as Renae Armstrong and Stanley Malone are concerned, life is great until a horrific tragedy brings unforeseen life changes for them both.
