A total of three entries or more than that if you assign each a point value.<br /><br />I've seen this done a lot.<br />NancyN. R.

LOL<br /><br />Here's my suggestions;<br />Arrange a blog tour.<br /><br />In advance ask people to be prepared to buy your book on that day.<br /><br />Give something away for doing this, not your book. Roland Yomans gave other books away. No ideas on that, it depends on your income I guess. If you're an artist this might work. I'd see if your publisher has something. <br /><br />Arrange a huge party after your blog tour to announce the winner of your prize based on comments. Have the bloggers who helped with your tour either announce your party or announce the winner on their blogs. I'd never base the gift on book sales. But you could do a future giveaway based on questions that you ask about your characters to see if people read it. If you give a big ticket item away you may want to go in with several authors. Readers will need to know all the books involved. I have a friend who teamed with other authors and they gave a kindle away. Pretty pricy.<br /><br />Get some authors to give reviews.<br /><br />Friends and family members are biased.<br /><br />Hope that helps.<br />NancyN. R.
