I noticed that the recent Facebook book launches, both for children's books and poetry books, which I have co-hosted have not been well-attended. I'm not sure why. Maybe because of the following reasons:
1. People don't have time.
2. People are not intrigued anymore because I've already done several in the past.
3. People are bored because I haven't thought of anything fresh to offer.
4. The poets or authors I have selected to publish don't have a big fan base.
5. I just have not found the right people to invite.
Who knows? We might have chosen the wrong time or day to host the book launch. It's hard to guess. All I can do is keep trying. For my new book, I decided to open a Facebook book page and hosted the book launch for one full week (December 23-January 1).

I didn't have to stay glued to the computer every day. I just posted several pictures and videos of the main inspiration of the book - my all-year round bundle of joy, my dog, Haiku. I tried to keep it engaging and entertaining as possible by coming up with three contests. I think that was less stressful for me. Everyone I invited didn't have to stick around or wait for the next posts. Everybody had time to browse and take their time to decide whether they want to just take a peek or participate and come back the next day when they are ready with their contest entries.

I had a blast so I hope the guests who participated did too! :-) Here was one of the contests - Post your dog's wackiest costume or most pawsome attire below! The winner of this BEST DOG OUTFIT contest will win a free copy of my book. Here is Haiku showing of all her different outfits to show as examples for the contest.
