TODAY'S FEATURE - Blog #3455: I've mentioned before in this Blog, that I have a few pages going on at Facebook! As well as being an 'admin' at several Fan Pages for Tina's and / or my clients, I also have a Facebook profile, group, and fan page! That's because I maxed out my 'personal' profile page with over 5,000 Facebook Friends Plus others Fan Pages being 'Liked' back in early 2009. So, because having a 'fan page' for myself sounded somewhat 'vain' at the time, I instead joined with the Facebook Comic Con (FBCC) folks, and started a Facebook Comic Con | Make It So Marketing group page, that is affiliated with the FBCC folks. The 'Make It So Marketing' is the name of Tina's business. However, I could see before the recent change on groups / group pages at Facebook, that I also needed another page, due to maxing out my 'profile' page with the 5,000 imposed limit. So I finally decided that it wouldn't be that 'vain' to start up a 'fan page' about what I am most involved in nowadays, and took the plunge! Which ended up with the 'Michael D Hamersky On Comics' Facebook Fan Page, which I have been promoting a little more, what with the changes at Facebook with the group pages. Well, last week I woke up at 1 AM with the solution to one of Tina's clients questions on how to present a 'free chapter' of their new book, as a 'gift' to 'fans' of their own author fan page at Facebook. Here's the link to the rest of the story from the earlier blog, where I tested oout the 'Free Report' app, which has actually gone over pretty well so far to date! So, I've talked with my Editor on the book that I submitted an essay to a while back, that was published at the end of 2010. That book was titled 'Gotham City 14 Miles'. Each one of the 'Milemarkers' stood for one 'essay' submitted by a different author. So there were 14 of us in total! So, my Editor, Jim Beard, said it would be okay to give away the first three pages from that book, which is very similar to what I did for Tina's client.
So lucky you, we all get to share a gift for Bert's birthday, (wink!), which is actually my 'Free Report #2', just for clicking the 'LIKE' button on my Facebook Fan Page, Michael D Hamersky On Comics! So while 'technically' not a 'Report', it is still 'Free' and an 'Intro' to the book that contains my chapter. If you are a fan of the 1966 Batman TV Show Series... Than consider this an introduction to re-acquaint you with the series. If you aren't that familar with the TV series, then realize that this book is not just 'fanboys' writing and salivating over the TV show. Instead the majority of the 14 essayists included what they liked and didn't like about the show in their essays. So I wanted to bring this to the attention of this blog's readers! Especially since the book is still not available brand new from Amazon, where usually some pages would be excerpted to show the potential buyer what the book is about. If you would like to see the excerpt from my essay in the book, all you have to do is to click this link, Michael D Hamersky On Comics, and then click the 'LIKE' button there! You'll notice that the photo you see when you first arrive at that page will change to another photo after you click the 'LIKE' button... And just above that is a blue arrow which guides you to the blueish colored link. Clicking that blueish colored link will open up either a new window or tab, depending on the browser you are using, where a .pdf copy of the 'report' will appear. You are then encouraged to read and even print a copy of that report for yourself. Of course, the whole idea for presenting this 'Free Report' is to give you the opportunity to see what at least one essay of the fourteen essays looks like. If you find the excerpt to be to your reading satisfaction, you are encouraged to buy a full copy from the publisher's web site, which I'll mention below soon! Again, this is the just the second of a series of 'free reports' that I'll be giving away in the future at my own fan page, as a 'Thank You' to those of you that click the 'LIKE' button on my Facebook Fan Page! And as a final note... If YOU already have 'LIKED' that Facebook Fan Page of mine, you don't need to 'unlike' it to get the 'free report'. All you have to do is go to that 'Welcome & Free Report' link at the left side of the Fan Page, and after clicking that link, you'll see a new page which has the same blueish colored link to click on. Just follow the easy direction there! ~Michael D Hamersky P.S. I did say that you could purchase a full copy of the book at the publisher's web site. That web site is Lulu.com and here is the direct link to where you can purchase the book itself!
