So. I Need Your Help. Please.

Dear Reader-Subscriber-Follower-Family-Friend-Inquisitive Person,

You may have heard I wrote a Cookbook. If you’ve been around the Blog or my Facebook page (or me) for anything length of time, this is not news. In fact, you may think it’s all I talk about.

The truth is, I’ve worked very hard at not spamming you with an abundance of posts relating to the Cookbook itself. Sure, you’ve been reading about my recipes and Meal Plans and how places like Casey’s Cupcakes and WinCo Foods are taking notice. So I must be doing Something Right.

But it’s not quite enough.

I need your … read the rest. . .

Word of Mouth Advertising

I’ve been promoting my Kickstarter Campaign in various formats on various platforms. And I have to say, while it doesn’t look like I’ll reach my goal [although never-say-never; there’s over two weeks left (nudge, nudge!)], I’ve been having fun drafting the “commercial” and creating some photo art to help spread the word.

From a purely creative standpoint, I’m rather proud of the following efforts:

*I created a Facebook Event for my personal friends to check status updates.
*My YouTube video will be a basic commercial that I can use even after the Kickstarter Campaign ends.
*I’m discovering how to use … read the rest. . .

Kickstarter Update

Pretty, isn’t it? That’s the cover to The Unemployment Cookbook, First Edition. Only I didn’t know at the time it was First Edition. Now I’m taking pre-orders for the Second Edition, and it’s just as exciting!

I had no idea when I started my Kickstarter campaign to sell pre-orders and raise funds for publication, how entirely nerve-wracking and roller-coastery it would be. (Is roller-coastery a word? It is now!)

It’s so delightful to hear from people who tell me how excited they are for this Project. Easy, inexpensive menus. Full, hearty flavors.

And while I’m trying not to push this … read the rest. . .

My Kickstarter Campaign: The Unemployment Cookbook, Second Edition

It’s here. It’s ready. And it’s live. After many months of planning and a few recent late nights of editing, the time is finally right to jump in the deep end.

The Unemployment Cookbook commercial is now available for viewing:

I have faith in my cookbook. I believe it’s pertinent and timely and fulfilling… in more ways than one. And even if my campaign fails, this experience is a huge success.

I learned how to create a video from start to finish.
I carefully chose rewards that reflect investors’ interest level.
I did all this while working a full time … read the rest. . .

Kickstarting the Kickstarter Campaign

I finally did it. I made the video for my Kickstarter campaign to fund the Second Edition of The Unemployment Cookbook. I was hoping to have the link here for your perusal, but Kickstarter needs to review and authenticate my video. I understand. I’d hate for someone to think they’re watching a short video about a cookbook only to find I’d accidentally uploaded the 12 Cats of Christmas.

It’s not an Oscar-winning video. It’s not meant to be. It’s meant to be low-budget. Simple. But substantial. Just like the Cookbook itself.

The fundraising will start in a few days. But … read the rest. . .
