What's going on at The Romance Studio!

Hello Vixens and thank you so much for letting us come out and visit with you each month. We're very honoroed to be here. =)

Since this is our first time, I'll tell you a little about us. We're a romance review and promotion site that started out very early in 2003. In the five plus years, we've really grown from a site that started out as my personal mission to one where we have a wonderful staff, close to 30 reviewers, and visitors from all over the world. I hope you'll visit us! http://theromancestudio.com

But we don't just have reviews. Our site is all about our 400 plus members and they post all their latest news each day there. Did you know we give away the best romance each day in our book-a-day giveaway? http://theromancestudio.com/bad_form.php. We offer around 30 interviews each month with your favorite authors and that's a great way to catch up with your favorites. We tell you about our members' drawings and giveaways, feature their excerpts, new releases, news and more. You can blog with us (well mostly the authors lol) at http://theromancestudio.blogspot.com. Be our friend at MySpace, play on the forums...

What have we been up to lately? Well, starting next week, we're holding a search engine optimization class for authors or anyone who has a web site that they'd like to get more traffic for and a better search enginge ranking. That's important because if no one is finding or visiting your web site, is it really doing anything for you? It's ten days/two weeks of everything you need to know about getting strong traffic and a good position on the search engines in a very competitive market. We still have a couple of spots left if you want in: http://theromancestudio.com/services.php#seo The cost is $100 (or $115 if you go with the Google search engine ad). For that you get the two week course held on a forum for convenience, M-F for two weeks, and you're not required to be there at a specific time. Check in when you like. At the end, we'll put everything together for you in a convenient document for future reference. You also get your site submitted to all the major search engines, including Google, by us for 3 months. We'll go over everything on your site and together we'll optimize it for the search engines. AND you get a search engine text ad. One is a three month ad (non-Google network) and one is a 30 day Google network text ad. Sign up and put promo code IMAVIXEN in the comments section and we'll give you 10% off. Don't send payment from the site. We'll send you an invoice with the discounted amount. Registration ends at midnight, Sunday October 12th.

Also, for you readers out there, be sure to subscribe to our Studio Notes newsletter! Starting with our 10/15 issue, we'll be holding a drawing for subscribers only for an Amazon gift certificate for $25. Subscribers also get our bi-monthly newsletter (we also send out other mailings on a limited basis) which is great. It's like everything that's happened at TRS in the last two weeks in one neat page Can't beat that! You can subscribe by going to http://theromancestudio.com/mailinglist.php

We also offer advertising for authors at TRS. Lots of it. lol We just added newsletter ads too. Want to try us out? I'll give you a one time 20% discount on ads at TRS even if you've advertised with us before. Go to our advertising page http://theromancestudio.com/advertise.php and place your order. Use promo code IMAVIXEN and don't submit payment from the site. We'll send you an invoice for the discounted amount. This is includes everything on our advertising page including the newsletter ads and the packages. I'll give you until midnight, Sunday October 12th to take us up on this 20% off offer.
