Grow Your Blog: Add Followers Today!
Posted by Simple Dude | Posted in Uncategorized | Posted on 27-06-2011
I’ve been teasing this for a few weeks and I am finally ready to go into launch mode. I am now officially an e-published author! Yep, even a jackass like me can write a book these days. And this book is one that can help you become a BETTER BLOGGER.
I’ve answered lots of emails and comments from people asking how I developed my following. Being chosen as a Blog of Note helped but there was also plenty of work I did on my own to gain 2,000+ followers in the ten months this thing has been live. Through trial and error methods I’ve discovered simple ways to drive traffic to my blog – without using any of that complicated search engine optimization crap you read about – and I’m ready to share it all with you!
If you’re a regular reader here, you’ll be glad to know I tried to write the e-book with the same attitude you get on my blog. In the e-book I’m sort of a smart-ass and you’ll see occasional swearing… but you can deal with that. Why can’t a book be both informative and entertaining??
And it’s not just about getting new people to visit your blog… it’s about getting them to FOLLOW your blog. You’ll also get tips on post formatting, style and content that will help convince people to click that little “follow” button once they stop by your page.
Yes, I am charging for this e-book – but it’s only $1.99 for close to 10,000 words of pure gold. Ok, not PURE gold. More like a fair amount of gold mixed in with lots of silver and occasional shit. But still, I spend TWICE that much every time I walk into Starbucks and I don’t get near the satisfaction that you’ll get with this e-book.
So here it is…
And also available now at Smashwords for the Kindle, Nook, Sony Reader, Kobo and just about every other format. Or you can get it as a PDF that you can read on your computer or print it out old school!
As a special offer for the release of this book… I will give FREE copies via Smashwords to the first FIVE people to agree to review the book on their own blogs. If you’re interested, just be one of the first five to email me at simpledudemail@gmail.com and I’ll send you back a coupon code to download it FREE. Try to go easy on me in the review though, I have a fragile ego.
And you can get a free sample at both Amazon and Smashwords… so go give it a try!
I'd offer to review it, but I can't make guarantees because of new time constraints.
But when payday hits I'll pick it up. I'll probably end up doing a review anyway, just cuz…

I would offer to review it for you but my job has me on lockdown right now because I am busier than a cheap New Orleans whore during Mardi Gras.

Congrats on having your e-book officially published. I'm definitely interested in reviewing it. If you still have a spot open let me know and I will email you my contact information. Have a great week!

I'm so excited. I'll definitely be purchasing it. I'll give you a review regardless.
Posted on: Jun/27/2011@7:31 pm
Ordering it now for my Kindle! I'm sure you've already had 5 agree to review it. I have to see what the Simple Dude has to say for how he left the rest of us in the dust when we started around the same time.
I'm sure I'll give it a shout out on my blog though after I read it.
Posted on: Jun/27/2011@8:04 pm
Congrats on the launch!
So excited for you. I will be posting and pimping you tomorrow. Hope it does well for you.

I couldn't review you, because I wouldn't have anything awful to say, and you know how the masses like to hear something bad, so it would be disgustingly sugar coated sweet crapola. But I have to say this is nothing short of spectacular! Congrats!

One Simple Dude sensational ebook now on one Aussie Blogger's sexy iPad. Looking forward to reading it. Not that I want to get Bon'd or anything, just cause I am curious and there is such a pretty pussy cat on the cover.
Oh and the Aussie dollar is damn good at the moment so I reckon I got a bargain.
Love Ya SD and Congrats

Well, I have read it and it isn't too bad for a simple dude. Best bit, is I knew you before you got famous and looks like we both have Annah @Red means go as a bit of a starting point.
Fantastic read and I expect a big help for new bloggers.
Now do I get pimped in the next one? Pretty please lol

I'll be downloading it later today. Your posts are always amusing, so your e-Book must be equally amusing, not to mention, helpful! Congrats!
Posted on: Jun/28/2011@4:17 pm
Amazing. It must be working. I became a follower just today! Through the Bloggess. I'll be buying it for sure!
Posted on: Jun/28/2011@6:08 pm
So I am working on the review as promised. I will get it on my blog! But I tend to take time and put a lot of thought into my reviews so just lettin you know.
Posted on: Jun/28/2011@6:57 pm

Gratz on the book, I'll probably be getting a copy once I actually make some money again.
Posted on: Jun/29/2011@2:18 am
I've reviewed this book and, tho I might wait awhile to cross stitch every word and hang it over my monitor, I'm definitely not going to use it as replacement lavatory paper. Yep, I thought it was good!
Well done.
