OK! Just a little more to go until full publishing, everyone! I just backed this book and very excited to read it with my wife! I know it will inspire us to take the leap and go to all the places across the world we keep putting off. Speaking of putting things off, folks should order this book NOW before its too late! Take a leap and pre-order!

Alright guys, here we are:

Four hours and 100 preorders to go, just how we drew it up. 

Here is the game plan:

Friends and family - You guys message that ONE person that owes you something, everyone has that one person...you know... that guy.

Everyone else - Well there is no one else-- you are all friends and family.

READYYYYY BREAK

Quick Update:

We are currently in the huddle before this moment:

I’m glad I caught you guys between the rehydrating period and round two of the weekend. This is the last day to preorder guys! We have made too much progress and received too much love to let this book fade away! Take five minutes and bribe a friend for me or buy one last $5 book with your redeem credit email and use it as a doorstop. Everyone needs a good doorstop...

We got this!

Friends, Family, Authors and Readers alike, 

We have sold more than 100 copies in the last week alone. We have just TWO DAYS left to make this final push to 750 and it is going to to take YOUR help.

I wanted to remind everyone that when you signed on to Inkshares and preordered the book, you got an email titled "You’ve got Credits!"

This email is still in your inbox and if you open it and click the green button titled Claim, you will be able to preorder one more copy of the book for only $5!! 

You can give this copy to a friend, family member, neighbor, stranger, loved one or even your boss (I hear promotions are often given after book gifts).

If you guys did this, it would put us over the edge and ensure that this book receives the proper publishing, editing and marketing it needs to succeed!!!

This is our last chance, as I am sure very few of you will be on your computers during this beautiful weekend. What better way to end your week than spending a mere $5 to boost your karma on a friend’s dream ;)

Spread the word and thank you for all the kindness and support through this campaign!

With nothing but love,


KJ

With hundreds of Facebook Shares, numerous recommendations from my  fellow Authors and friends on Inkshares (I will be more supportive to you guys soon, just stuck in go-mode right now), and who knows how many word of mouth recommendations...WE HAVE REACHED 400 PREORDERS! 

This is a huge testament to the power of YOU, the followers of this book. We could have thrown in the towel with a week left and said "There is no way we can get 450 preorders in one week". That would have been the easy thing to do. 

This book isn’t about taking the easy route. It is easy to NOT sell everything you own on Craigslist and travel the world. It is easy to NOT to leave your "Netflix after work until bed" lifestyle. It is easy to NOT tell your comfort zone to kiss your A**. It is awfully easy NOT to jump. 

That isn’t who we are though.

I KNOW we can get to 750 if we build on this momentum! Please do not be afraid to ask people if they would consider preordering this book for $10. That is only ONE less drink this weekend in NYC, ONE less trip to Bojangles in the South (Huge sacrifice... but it is worth it I promise), ONE less herbal remedy in Denver, and ONE less coffee in San Francisco. 

Let’s pull the biggest upset in Inkshares history and sell 350 books in these last five days. All it takes is YOU convincing a few people to preorder and it will happen.

Readyyyyyyyyyyy BREAK

The wheels are in motion...we are picking up momentum and I know you guys...you guys like to reach goals as much as I do. I want to tell y’all how appreciative I am of the overwhelming support. From old middle school friends, to neighbors, to past coworkers, to the mothers and fathers of old friends...the book is receiving support from all over the country! Let’s finish strong and get the word out to as many people as possible and give ourselves a real chance at reaching 750! At this point it is actually factual to say that if each person got just ONE other person to buy the book OR each person bought just ONE more book for a friend (two and you get your name in the book)... we would reach 750. I know we can do this and I am going to do my best to get you guys the BEST POSSIBLE VERSION OF THIS BOOK I CAN, but I will need your help!!

Not Afraid of the Fall readers,

We are nearing the finish line, so let’s start sprinting. We were obviously just setting this campaign up for an epic finish! It is going to take each and everyone of you reaching out to 1-5 people and asking them to preorder a book for this to happen! Do me a huge favor and send the email below to anyone that might be interested! We’ve got this guys it just a numbers game!

Dear (name),

I hope you are doing well! I don’t normally do this but I have a favor to ask you...My good friend Kyle James quit his job and backpacked in Europe and Asia for five months! He wrote a book called Not Afraid of the Fall about his journey and is trying to get it published! In order for the book to get full editing, developing, marketing and publishing...he needs 750 preorders. The book is currently about half way there and every book counts! If you are interested in helping his cause by preordering a book for $10 go to this URL: 

 https://www.inkshares.com/books/not-afraid-of-the-fall 

There are preorder instructions on the right side of the page under the green Preorder button!

Thanks for helping out and have an awesome day!







Dear friend,

It’s with heavy heart and quill in hand, I write to thee with both sorrow and pity for those that have not yet preordered Not Afraid of the Fall. But hope remains that we, the allegiance that is the Not Afraid of the Fall-ers, can still help find these poor souls and arm them with the trying tales of a young lad and his damsel in a dress from Zara.

No but seriously guys...we are less than one month away from the fundraising deadline.

I know we can still make this book a reality and reach our goal; however, 300 minds are better than one! If you have ANY advice on how to reach this goal, from connections/ places to promote, to people that might be interested, I would love to hear from you!

If nothing else, PLEASE share this story with your friends, family, coworkers, neighbors and anyone else you think might enjoy a good ol’ fashioned read.

Be sure to let people know that if they create an Inkshares account, they will receive an email claiming "You’ve Got Credits!". By claiming these credits through the email, they can order Not Afraid of the Fall for just $5! 

*You have this E-mail as well, save your friend some time and do it for them ;)*

If each person gets just ONE friend to preorder the book...we will be right there at the finish line!


Let’s Lock In
