New Year, New Member, New Theme

Happy new year, tribe of the tree!

2009 wasn't too bad for me and I hope 2010 is 10 times (pun intended) as good as the last.

Today we are to welcome a new member into our tribe yanksrule23!!!!!! It's always awesome to have new members, so welcome him in and show him around ::laughs::

Multimedia December is still in the works for myself (I plan to do a few videos/posters next this week) but with the start of the new week and month I have called in a new plan of action.

Internet Invasion January.

That's right, for the month of January I want you all to do EVERYTHING on the list that involves internet. That means writing reviews, creating blogs, posting on blogs, posting purchasing links, normal links, Amazon Listmania Links, fan pages, finish the ARG, and of course videos and the like.

Hopefully you all understand what it means to write a review but if not, stay tuned for an explanation.

  1. Writing Reviews - A book review, or any review for that matter, states what the story is about, its postive/negative elements, and what the reader thought of the reivew. For my review of Curse of the Spider King please click here and you can get some ideas on how to write one. That review was number one on amazon until someone voted it down <_< Once you have written your review you should post it on all of the following sites: Amazon.com, BooksAMillion.com, Buy.com, Pronto.com, Borders.com, BarnesandNoble.com, GoodReads.com, Shelfari.com, Powells.com, and Biblio.com. If you happen to need any more sites please email me as I do have a couple more. Each review is worth 500 points, so posting a review on all ten sites will give you 5,000.
  2. Creating a blog - Because you all are writers on this blog you have been given a blogger account. With said account you have the ability to create your own blog, for yourself, a friend, or a topic you and a few would like to write about. You can even make one just to post your stories on. If you are allowed PLEASE do this. On a blog you can make purchasing links (I will be explaining how to do this shortly, please ask if you want to know) and post them giving yourself 8,000 points. You also can post more links and blog on topics to earn a few thousand more. This is a great way to connect with more fans/writers as well as win a TON of points.
  3. Amazon Listmania - Each list is worth 200 points and you are allowed to make 10 of them. For a total of 2,000 points. They are very easy to make and are worth it in the long run. Go to your Amazon page and scroll down. Somewhere it should say "Listmania" make a new one and include one or all of CH/WTB's books. That's how you get the points. Email me the links and you'll get credit.
  4. If you are on Facebook you can make fan pages for any or all of WTB/CH's books. Each fan page is worth 200 points. There are 10 books (If you count VAS and AD) so that's 2,000 Points.
  5. Alternate Reality Game - Only one person per tribe may recieve credit for completing the ARG. Millard and I will be of the first six to complete it. So do it for fun, but we are the ones who get credit, the first one. Pst, I'll beat you Millard ;) lol jk jk
  6. Videos - See last post. Each one is worth 2,000 Points.
So that's that. Also watch WTB's blog for time sensitive challenges that are worth HUGE amounts of points.

Thanks to Millard for updating tribe points when I was busy. ::claps his hands::

Also, a challenge for the month.

I want each of you to score 5,000-10,000 points EVERY week. This isn't as hard as it sounds. Figure writing a review for ONE of the books and posting it on ten sites gives you 5,000. That's already the goal. And if you happened to do a few videos and a couple reviews you're already over 10,000. It's an easy challenge, but it would help out a LOT.

So, who's in?

And welcome to yanks!

Grandfather? Pfft. I was the first one to solve clue, one, two, three, and second at the rest ;)

Cacia said...

*shakes finger* Now, now boys, no fighting on the blog!

In response to the post:

Reviews: I planned on writing lots of reviews this past week... but nothing went as planned. =P Hopefully I'll be able to nail some this week.

Blog: I have a blog, and shall be posting (I hope) about the books. ^.^
I've made a video promo for CotSK, and will be posting that as well.
Question - If I have a Shelfari shelf on my blog and it displays Sir Batson's and Sir Hopper's books, does that count as points?

Videos: As I said, I made a video for CotSK. I'm going to try to make vids for the rest of the books. Try being the operative word. ;)

Great Celeb!

Have I given you the purchasing links? Those things down the side of my blog (whisperedroars.blogspot.com) that have the picture of the books and then their price on Amazon and such. That's 8,000 right there.

I gave you like 500 points credit for them last time. I think they're only worth 200. I'll ask WTB next time he replies to an email <_< lol

I watched your COTSK video. Very good :)

Precentor said...

Cacia said...

Yes, Nathan, you gave me the purchasing links.

Nathan R. Petrie said...
