    Top Chatters for the Month

    Because the person who gets the most comments in a month is not always the
    person who gets the most page views per month, I instituted the Top Chatter Award.
    This is the award for the person who receives the most comments. To win, a guest
    must have five or more comments (not counting the guest author’s).
    This month’s winners are:
    1 Susan V Vaughn
    2 Houston Havens
    3 Caroline Clemmons
    Romance Lives Forever features authors and new books. It has
    a blogger’s FAQ page with a downloadable guide and six optional interviews. Readers
    can follow via Google+, Networked Blogs, Linky Followers, email, an RSS feed, and
    there’s a blog button readers and authors can grab. Authors can share previous books.
    The blog uses author or publisher names as tags on posts, and author Twitter handles
    in the titles. The site is broadcast over Triberr with a potential reach of over
    3.5M readers via its Twitter-linked network. Twitter mentions are also gathered
    in several Paper.li ezines, giving the author additional opportunities for promotion.
    The Romance Lives
    Forever Paper.li ezine
    features only guest authors, and the day’s guest is on
    its front page every day.
    Each post is featured on the Romance Lives Forever Pinterest
    board within a few days after it goes live. http://www.pinterest.com/kayelleallen/romance-lives-forever-rlfblog/

    What’s New Pussycat? #RLFblog Blog Opportunities for #Authors

    RLF Blog
    Thank you for a great 2015! The Romance Lives Forever blog grew,
    and some wonderful features were added. For the year, there were 351 posts.

    Social Media

    The link between the blog and Paper.li helped get out the word about blog posts.
    The paper is an online daily ezine, and this one posts to Twitter. The blog uses
    the hashtag #RLFblog, and you can click on Twubs
    to check its reach.
    Triberr did a great
    job of sharing the news as well. Because of my followers, the tribemates I associate
    with, and their followers, RLF has a reach of over 3.5 million. The program works
    because it brings new readers, and reminds current ones of new material. It provides
    an average of 45 – 50 mentions on Twitter every day, and since each post has the
    guest author’s Twitter handle in the title, that means the guest gets mentioned
    too.
    Networked Blogs helped by posting automatically to Facebook.
    The blog goes to several pages, and is often shared. Did you know the blog has its
    own Facebook page? Come over and like the page, and then share the day’s post, especially
    if you’re one of the guests.

    Share your book cover on Romance Lives Forever

    Limited spots to share book covers are available. Cost is $5
    per month, with a 20% discount for one quarter and up to one year. Covers can be
    changed monthly.
    RLF Gem Award

    Sign Up!

    Request a date by clicking the Request a Date tab. Fill in the
    info, pick two dates, and I’ll do my best to get you one of them.

    RLF Gems

    This popular feature happens on the first of each month. I post
    a listing of the top bloggers,
    and send the top five a graphic to post on their
    websites or blogs. It’s almost always the most visited page of the month, although
    I don’t count it when listing which posts are the most popular. I want the credit
    to go to my wonderful guests. The top blogger each month gets a month of free ad
    space on the blog. The top blogger for the year gets a full year of ad space. The
    winner for December, and for 2015 will be announced Jan 1, 2016.

    Thank you…

    The blog has grown and changed in response to your requests,
    and I hope you’ve found it helpful. If there is something you’d like me to add or
    change, please let me know. Thank you for your support. It’s been a pleasure getting to know
    you, and I hope to see you back soon.
