Free Christmas Promotion Idea for About Anything Christmasy!

If you have a Christmas product (book), story, poem, cookbook, or artwork, you're going to love ChristmasDaddy.com. This tip will go in the December 18 issue of my SharingwithWriters newsletter, but I didn't want to make my blog subscribers and visitors wait.  What a way to drive traffic to your Web site.


PS: You just knew I couldn't send out a newsletter without a marketing tip in it, right? This is an example of how you can use a free service from ChristmasDaddy.com: http://www.christmasdaddy.com/christmas-news/north-pole-press/Poetry_for_Christmas.shtml. It's an example of how my poetry partner Magdalena Ball and I used it to promote our Christmas chapbook Blooming Red (http://amzn.to/BloomingRedKind ).
 
Christmas Daddy says: "Advertise for FREE! Submit an article for either Christmas Stories, Christmas Recipes, Christmas Decorating, or Christmas Event Ideas and we will place your article with links back to your site or charity site you designate. You can even submit a banner ad to be placed with your article. Click here to get the details. http://www.christmasdaddy.com/christmas-article-submission.html ."

BTW, if you'd like to subscribe to my free SharingwithWriters newsletter, put SUBSCRIBE in the subject line of an e-mail and send it to HoJoNews (at) AOL (dot) com.  I'll subscribe for you.

  1. Thanks for posting this Carolyn. Christmasdaddy.com was a good find. I hope lots of people take advantage of our free Amazon days and grab a copy of the Blooming Red. It's hard to go wrong with poetry for Christmas.
