How To Help

If you are enjoying our first book, and would like to see
more, there are some easy things you can do to help get the word
out about Dancing Skunk Media. We are so thankful about all the
things people are doing to help. Of course buying the book or giving it as gifts
for birthdays and holidays is fantastic, but here are some other
things that don’t require money:

On Line

– Book Sellers:

Amazon.com and Barnesandnoble.com use feed back to
gage how popular a book is and how to recommend it.
- You can rate the book with stars and write
  short reviews (a couple of words if you like) and this will tell
  the web page’s computers to recommend the book to
  others.
Here is the
review form for Amazon
And here is the form for Barnes and Noble.
- When on the pages you can also click to “like” the book
  and add it to wish lists.

Blogs-

If you read blogs that have
subject matter that touches our books (parenting, early education,
indi art, skunks, etc) You could send a note to the blogger telling
them about DancingSkunkMedia.com and our books.

Facebook -

If
you are on Facebook, you can “Like” Dancing Skunk Media.
After that you can click on “Suggest
to Friends”
- It will give you a list of your
  friends and you can click on any of them that you think would
  be interested in getting an invitation to find
  out about Dancing Skunk Media.
Also, when DSM posts things you find interesting, you can
click “Share.”
- Then the news will be posted to
  your profile and thus it will show up in the news feeds of your
  friends.
You could
start by clicking “Share” on our facebook promotional video
here.

Youtube /Tangle

We have our promotional
video on Youtube and
Tangle.
- Just watching them (or just
  clicking play even if you don’t watch them) helps.
- Still it would be great if you could click “like”, Give
  it Stars, and write comments.
You can also email the link to friends or post them on
Facebook/MySpace/Twitter/ or other social network
- The URL’s are:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dypMFeiCcOU

- You can just cut and past these into your
  email or post.

eMail -

You could send a quick note to WBZ’s Jonathan Elias jelias@cbs.com or New Hampshire Chronicle chronicleideas@thewmurchannel.com asking them to do a story on 4 year old “Skunk Zoo” author, Eowyn Ouellette. You could also include a link to www.Dancingskunkmedia.com or any of the other pages give more information about “Skunk Zoo” and DSM.
