Pack the boxes. Romance Lives Forever is moving May 17th #RLFblog #authors
The Romance Lives Forever blog moves from Blogspot to Wordpress May 17, 2017. If you hate moving as much as I do, you’ll be happy to know all the heavy lifting will be done by professionals. Your part will be to grab a favorite drink, sit back, take it easy, and come read the posts in beautiful new surroundings.Once the move completes, all posts currently on the Blogspot version of Romance Lives Forever will appear on the new site also. On the Blogspot site, a note at the top will redirect readers to the new WordPress location. Links on original posts will remain active, and all posts will remain on the Blogspot old blog while also appearing on the WordPress blog.Want a sneak peek of the new blog? It’s under construction so it doesn’t look now the way it will when it opens. But here’s a peek: https://rlfblog.com/ Go ahead. I’ll wait. Okay, welcome back! Do you want to know more? Here you go.For Readers
On the new site, you’ll have a listing of authors so you can find your favorite. Each book will be listed by name and by genre. Author interviews will have their own home and so will character interviews. As always, you’ll be able to leave comments, share posts, and find great books. The new site will be available on Kindle, RSS, email, and other programs.Sharing and Reach
The current feed from the blog to Triberr’s blog-sharing
system will reroute to the new site, ensuring an unbroken link to Twitter and
Facebook outreaches. As always, social media share links will appear on each
post. Genre specific areas will allow you to post your book in the
area it best fits. A new registration system is already in place. We now use SignUp Genius, which lets you confirm your own date and sends you a reminder as well. A new interview system is being prepared. Old favorites such as Character Interviews, 5 Easy Questions, and so on will be available. Overall, the site will be easier to sign up on and will draw even more readers. The current reach is over 3 million. I expect that to increase rapidly.Cover ads
A cover ad costs $5 for one month. Thre is a discount for multiple months. A quarter year is $12, and a year is $48. Double feature is $10. Prices will remain the same until the end of 2017.Sale
If you buy one year of ad space between now and the end of June, you’ll get an additional three months free. Fifteen months of ads would normally cost $60, so it’s a savings of 20%. You can change covers as often as once a month. Please click the PayPal button on the right side of the blog to order, or email me to request an invoice.RLF Featured AuthorThis new opportunity will provide access to enhanced ad space and blog spots. More info on that coming soon.The #RLFblog Hashtag
#RLFblog has been the blog’s hashtag since 2009. We will continue to use it. Watch it to keep up with authors and new books.Want to blog here? Do you have an author friend you think would love to? Here you go!https://rlfblog.com/signup-for-date/Come back every day and visit RLF for new books .— -
