I Smell Sheep Survey and News + 3 giveaways

1. Last year we asked what kind of posts you guys wanted more of and most of you said guest posts. So we hooked up with some book tour companies and have been doing lots of guest posts, spotlights and cover reveals. We want to know how we did. Did we do too many? Just right? Do we need more variety of books covered? The picture is because Thor.


Give us some feedback by filling out the survey.
Create your free online surveys with SurveyMonkey , the world's leading questionnaire tool.

2. Don't forget there are lots of ways to follow us, but some ways are better than others depending on what kind of info you want.

Follow via email: you will get each post in your mailbox. This is my favorite way to follow blogs.

Follow via FB group: we post a link to all site posts that go up plus I post occasional freebies/deals and contests I find. We have a lot of active readers and authors. We mainly share pictures of sheep, dragons and general WTF-ery we find online. We eat moonpies, drink kool aid and play with the dragon in the dungeon. His name is Jake.

Sharon or Katie's personal facebook pages: we both post links to all site posts. Sharon shares and posts just about every industry related link she thinks will be of interest to readers and lots of WTF-ery. Come be our friend!

Follow via twitter: we post links to the sites daily posts sometimes share contest, posts, giveaways we find online.

Follow via Pinterest: There are three pinterest boards you can follow
I Smell Sheep board: we pin the posts from our site, WTF-ery, funny stuff and industry news.

Freebie/Deals board: all kindle deals and free books I find. I keep this board up to date, but always check the price because they can change quickly and I might not have changed them yet.

Giveaways/Contests board: all contests and giveaways and hops I find online I will post here.

Follow via Google +: you will find all posts from the site and I post most kindle freebies/deals I find and industry news.

Follow via tumblr: all our posts will be here and industry news, WTF-ery, but no freebies/deals.

3. Don't forget you can fill your amazon cart, click out. Come to our site and click the amazon link (right side bar) and go to your cart to check out. We will get a small percentage of the sale.

4. If you are interested in doing a guest post or advertising contact us at flockparty@hotmail.com 

5. Read a book you just loved, but have no where to post a review? Be a guest reviewer with us! We will edit it for you too.

6. Shameless self-promotion! Know someone who needs an editor? Send them my way. Or just help me get the word out and share my website on your social media.

  3. I love to win mugs, pens, note pads, and frige magnets (I enjoy the look on the hub's and manchild's faces with all the bare chests on the door), but my mostest favorite is ebooks (I know not swag, but hey they are my favoritest). The mugs, pens, and note pads are really functional and I use them a lot. Of course sheep swag is always fun and makes me smile.

  17. I took the survey and posted on the Facebook event I took it. :)

    I love your swag! I think your name is COOL!

    I love everything non-paper, but I love books or booklets, I have a box full of paper related swag that weighs close to a 100 lbs full of it! Now, if an author sends promo sticky notes (some have!) that I can use, then I am all in for that! I can only use so many bookmarks and such! Anything that is useful, such as pens, mugs, promo magnets, or fun/unusual/unique is always cherished and displayed--if not used constantly!

    Thank you for asking!

  26. Love bookmarks! Sheep swag is, of course, awesome.

    ReplyDelete
  27. I like Swag that is unique. I have about five million bookmarks so I don't really need any more, unless they are unique. I like getting something that's useful and unique!

    ReplyDelete
  28. I like easy to pack swag (esp. if I get something at a conference)...sometimes coffee mugs can be cumbersome. But coffee mugs by mail -- esp. with sheep!-- are good :)

    ReplyDelete
  29. I like practical swag...pens that write well--especially in bright colors, mini flashlights, nail files, lip balm, mirror, bandaids and holder, etc.

    ReplyDelete
  30. My favorite author swag is either a BOOK or EBOOK, or a tote bag (because I'm addicted to bags and use them a lot). Occasionally I enjoy a plush critter. As for all the other kinds of swag -- the gadgets, the cups, the knick-knacks, pens, bookmarks, etc -- I really don't enjoy them and use them as much as someone else might.

  31. I love bookmarks and pens and I love Sheep swag!!

    Happy Holidays!

  32. I love all author/blog swag. Some of my favorites are key rings, key ring charms, magnets, mugs, totes, pens buttons/pins and the really unique stuff.

    ReplyDelete
  33. First off, I love books, but not sure those count as swag. I also love the little cards with codes for free books or novellas online. Bookmarks, pens, pins, keychains, lip balms, notepads/notebooks, postcards, gift tags, jewelry, etc.

    Yeppers, Sheep swag is fun. But, why is the Kool-Aid always Grape in the Rafflecopters? Can't it be Tropical Punch or Cherry sometimes?
