Promoting Your Book in Your Email Signatures
May 14th, 2008I received an email from one of our Authors On The Net members today and below her message she included the following blurb about her book:
Just Published…
By His Stripes We are Healed
Shanita S. Waters
By His Stripes We are Healed peeks into the lives of several members of the Solid Rock Pentecostal Church. Sabrina Jackson is quick to point out her husband’s flaws and is devastated when he forces her to examine herself.
Diane Pearson is too busy for her own good. She’s been “running for Jesus a long time” and beginning to grow weary. With a creative blend of Christian principals and drama, By His Strips We are Healed leaves us no choice but to evaluate ourselves, our relationships with others and more importantly—our relationship with God.
Pastor Pass is convinced that Jezebel is not only “live in the flesh” but trying to destroy everything he has worked so hard to build. Pastor Pass inadvertently becomes a busy body in his attempts to keep his congregation on the straight and narrow path.
Finally, Pastor Pass receives revelation from the Lord and delivers a sermon that provokes thought and emotion so powerfully that all of the members of the Solid Rock flock to the alter.
Sabrina, Diane, Pastor Pass and the rest of the congregation learn that although they have been broken they still have Jesus and By HIS Stripes they are healed.
The author did not intend this as a standard signature item, but when I saw it I thought what a great idea and I will try it out with my new product, Self-Publishing in a Box. From a marketing point of view, I think this is unobtrusive. Not sure how spam filters will treat this so you might want to be wary, but I’ll let everyone know how it goes and if you want to give it a try, do so and let us know what happens.

You are absolutely right. I did not mean to include all of that information in my signature. I don’t know how I did that. Forgive me.
