Steemit Blog: Contests (Update)
![Special Announcement.JPG](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmczc1wkrdRAzXXTeDym5WQamopUxwiLEJVaZUVq3BLnwd/Special%20Announcement.JPG)
Good evening,

So first update since my last post, title change. 

The new ebook will now be called, Steemit Blog: Contests. I've edited it, and will now send to word-2-kindle.com to be formatted. They will also do a cover design. Hope to have that ready for the next post.

Got the pre-order going on Kindle Direct and here's a rough draft for the book description, any feedback welcome:

"Steemit Blog: Contests could become the blueprint of aspiring writers everywhere. 

From content creation, to publishing your work on Kindle, authors can get paid for every step of the process while meeting amazing people along the way.

Sound too good to be true? Well it's not.

You've probably read David Kadavy's book Make Money Writing on the STEEM Blockchain, and so now you can open your cryptocurrency social media page on Steemit.com. Get this book for free on Kindle Unlimited to take the experience to the next level.

The first person to do so will win Steem from the author while engaging with contest facilitators who will keep you writing, and growing your cryptocurrency jackpot.

Cyrus Emerson opens the door for you with this amazing collection of contest entries to some of the hottest literary contests on the STEEM Blockchain. 

Some of his contest entries are sad, some scary, from haiku to a story, covering diverse genres, every example of writing prepared to win. 

Entertaining and informational, take a painless step in improving your writing skills.

Can you even handle over 180 pages of high octane performance driven blogging? Take a chance for free on Kindle Unlimited today."

Check out @kadavy if you get a chance.

Thanks again for all the support. This book should be available by January 21st, 2019.

Cyrus

Like the approach. Not about you and your writing. Nice discovery on the author with the book. Would like more The Lords of Hemp only this project took your time.

Hi: I think this is great, the way you're pitching in and trying to promote Steemit.  I love this platform and want it to thrive. 
I repeat my willingness to help, in any way I can.  Besides Twitter, a while back I wrote book reviews on my blog and on Midwest Book Review.  Links below.  If you think it would help, I'll gladly review the book when it comes out.   
[My blog](https://rhythmprismpublishing.com/book-review/) and [Midwest Book Review](http://www.midwestbookreview.com/rbw/aug_17.htm#moore).

Thanks @agmoore. It would be awesome to get your help in anyway. Waiting on epub file and cover art from word-2-kindle. Then going to post to Amazon. Will be available soon for free on Kindle Unlimited. Will do a give away as well. 

Think cover art will really make a difference?

Most of my books don't sell.  I only invested once in cover art, and then just $20.  They say cover art makes a difference.  If the cover art isn't too expensive,  it'll probably be worth your while, especially for the first book.  After this, you will write more, I'm certain. 

Usually, for my books I find a really memorable painting or photo with an expired copyright and then I put my title on.  But then, my books don't sell :) 

Selling the book is mostly about getting out there, getting reviews, and plugging. I only did that once, for my first book, and it actually worked.  That cover was dreadful.  Didn't matter. 


Well, good luck.   I'm here, with my modest skills.
