Last Chance to Join the Pre-release List

In two days – Wednesday 22nd November – I will be pre-releasing a digital copy of “Why? Because Science!” to an exclusive list of people. If you want to join that list and be among the very first to clap eyes on this book, please send me your email in an comment below or privately to thea@thecontentqueen.co.za.

Is there a catch?

Too good to be true

The best things in life are free, my friends, and so I have decided to make the book free to those of you on my pre-release list. All I ask for in return is your help promoting the book on your social media channels (a simple shout-out and a link to the book on Amazon will do), and an Amazon review. There are no other T&Cs.

Why pre-release the book at all?

Amazon is essentially a search engine, which means that it functions like Google. If you want your business or product – in my case, a book – to appear at the top of the search results pages, it needs to be popular. The more the book is downloaded, the more reviews it gets, and the more traffic it receives, the more Amazon will perceive it to be popular. Since Amazon makes money every time the book is downloaded, it will do its best to help it sell well.

This is where the pre-release launch comes in. By giving a group of people my book (for free) and asking for a some promotion and reviews in return, the book gets off to a good start and (hopefully) attracts enough downloads, reviews, and traffic to tell Amazon that it is worthy of their support.

So, help a girl out!

Send me your email details and I’ll add you to the pre-release list. On Wednesday, you’ll get a link to the book as well as a little list of tasks you can do to help me promote the book, which will be officially launched on 1st December.

I’ll be extremely grateful for all your support!

  1. I would be happy to help a sister/comrade out. I will tell you up front, I don’t have a very big sosh-med footprint. Twitter and Instagram are all I use (and sporadically at that) but I can guarantee an Amazon review should I like the book. Which I fully expect will be the case. I mean, science! Right? I understand the passion for it. I recognised yours in your posts which is why I followed in the first place. So, if you want to send me a copy for free I will uphold the terms and write a considered review.

    Welcome back, by the dubs.

    1. Hi Sam,

      Thank SO much for offering your help – the more the better, so it doesn’t matter how limited your social media is. What’s most important is the Amazon review so here’s hoping you’re able to leave a good one 😉 The book is set for pre-release on Wednesday so keep your eyes on your email for the official announcement and a link to the book!
