My Mission

It has been a while since I last blogged although that DOES NOT mean that I have not been active, please don't get it twisted. I have been more active on my Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn pages the past month than on here, my food blog also I suppose.

My book tour was meant to officially end in August but marketing a (lifelong) product never really ends and fortunately for me the demand was there so extra dates mounted up- I'm not complaining. My extended tour has taken me to Watford, different parts of London and soon Bristol. There are many literary festivals taking place this month that I hope to take advantage of but that takes extra time and money that my circumstance does not permit.

Speaking of which, that leads me to explain my mission that I have mentioned before to my audience more so via my mailing list and social networks, as some may know I am raising funds to further market my book and publish the special edition by Christmas. This is a much bigger mission than it sounds as that takes plenty of funding. Further marketing in regard to my book means; videos, online ads, print ads, staff, travel and accommodation for extra tour locations. The cost of all this is in the thousands but EVERY LITTLE HELPS! And I need help from my audience and corporate sponsors to reach this goal. Book sales are wonderful but not enough to raise what is needed for what I am trying to achieve. There are also rewards granted in return of your sponsorship.

The feedback and reviews that I have received so far from audiences as well as Radio Presenters and Promoters over the course of my tour, has been absolutely wonderful. I am so pleased that my writing has given so many people so much pleasure, and I intend to do the same with the special edition. I'm stepping up! Like I said this is a mission dammit. Not one that I can't achieve either, just one that I would be needing extra help with, a crowdfund per se. Sponsorship is imperative here. I appreciate your assistance even if that is just through the means of reviews, endorsement, buying my book, sharing and liking my social media posts or attending my promotion events, if not financial sponsorship. Taking the time to fully read this post with the consideration of helping me in some way is also greatly appreciated.

Full details about my requested sponsorship can be found via the link. I have formal proposals available for corporate sponsorship and funding of significant amounts, simply contact me to find out more.

To know more about my book you can see to the Amazon page which contains some amazing, authentic five star reviews (THANK YOU SO MUCH READERS!) and to hear some of the content you can watch the following videos taken from my book tour this past year. Please note that the special edition will include pictures (such as the hardback edition) and an audio CD.

 

I hope to see an increase in my sponsorship or even readership with your participation shortly. Thank you in advance. In the meantime you can sign up to my mailing list to remain updated with my projects as my newsletters also have the occasional sponsorship options click here.

Until Next Time,

Official Tour Dates

This is the most frequent that I have ever blogged on here, even got me neglecting my food blog but there's been so much to update and inform my poetry/film audience of, needless to say it has been a busy month. Book promoting and book selling, I couldn't be happier. The interaction and positive reactions that I receive from my poems of my current collection and cover design when I attend these events and meet with audiences is mind blowing to me. Not that I didn't expect to be well received but I did not foresee such love. Merci beaucoup!

To update you further, here are the official dates of my book tour, dates that have taken place already and what is to come. If you receive my newsletters you will know that the tour listing was not issued beforehand for a reason but I kept updates via my blog, Twitter and Facebook page so I am more than pleased to issue it officially as it is overdue and I am now less dependent on others to do so. Hence, this being an independent project. Please note that the dates and cities for July onwards has yet to be confirmed as you will see on the poster.

Since the release of my book last August I decided to tour for a year and make the most of it while I work on my second (and third but a different genre) book. It has been great so far, I hope to do more festivals, get more press, more reviews (that's my readers invite) and host another promotion event soon enough.

MUCH LOVE to my Infiniti Promotions team, freelancers and other helpful individuals that have supported me with my tour! There is still so much to do in order to complete this tour to the best of its ability of which is in great need of financial sponsorship, so while I work on proposals and contacts myself it would be much appreciated if you or someone who you know to possibly be ideal for my project, could sponsor me.

If you are interested or have suggestions of sponsorship please do get in contact MissLaurenKaye@Gmail.com.

Again, thank-you for all your listening ears, reading eyes, book purchases, autograph requests (which still feels weird as an unknown person but feels good that it's wanted), your undivided attention when I perform, your lovely feedback, constructive feedback, compliments of my poetry in general, signing up to my newsletters, all your shares and likes of my social media posts (tour date announcements and videos) and overall support. Truly.

Look out for my next tour stop! #ImAllin

Giving You What You Want

My latest newsletter for ya!

I issued it last week, includes information about recent performances, future events and a food/wine article of mine from Deevah's Cravings. Click here to view it properly in your internet browser.

All this marketing is no joke people let me tell you and this is coming from someone who works in media. I can promote a film or an event all day long but to promote myself has taken a whole lot of elbow grease lol. However, the positive feedback and demand from fans of my work makes it ALL WORTH-IT.

I'm happy to share with you as long as you are happy to receive. No innuendo intended.

4th One Rolled Out, Join My Movement

So I published my 4th newsletter today promoting my poetry and various writing/work activities. Remaining consistent since the start of the year in regard to my increase in self-promotion, enthusiasm to share more of myself and my creative work that I would have kept private otherwise or just for the selective few and it actually feels good. Time and money well spent.

It feels like a movement for me, it is a movement for me. A mini one of course but that's just for starters as this is just the beginning of many more BIG  things to come from this Mini Mogul in the making. It's not just me speaking about myself by the way or flooding it with pictures of selfies (no offense to others that do- do your thing!). Yes, its main purpose is to promote me and what I do but I also promote any topic or event that I want to bring to your attention such as what I do with my actual blogs.

In this edition I mention the greatness of the Black Girls Rock organisation....read more.....Offer discounts and direct shopping (PayPal) links to my Exclusive Luxury Greeting Cards....read more....Offer you the chance to have a 'Lauren Kaye Original' custom order of mass produced cards or invitations....read more....Share foodie pics and articles from my food blog, and as always I like to close with an inspirational or thought-provoking quote as food for thought. See the full newsletter for yourself.

I look forward to infotaining you.

Issued Out

Nearly two weeks ago I issued my first newsletter to promote my blog, products and writing projects. It's another expense but like I said I've been on my self-promotion game and as a business woman I am fully aware of the power and necessity behind marketing. Every brick counts to make a house, in my case it's a mansion. I always think big.

The response so far has been wonderful "Thank-you" to everyone who reached out to me in reply and support of my efforts. You have no idea how encouraging it is. There's plenty more to come from me, plenty more for me to share with you, entertain you with and engage you with. It's all good.

As stated in my newsletter prices for my extraordinary custom poetry greeting cards will increase from 1st Feb and they have since done so. They are not just cards, they are personalised poems accompanied by fantastic custom (usually handmade) designs. Plenty time, effort and passion goes into making these cards so they are more than worth the purchase believe me. I am currently working on my Valentine's orders and collection for general sale (non-custom but exclusive) right now. I am also looking for an ideal Valentine's event to perform at too so if you know of anything let me know!

It's a great time, many things are happening and I am just excited.
