UPDATE

So we are just about done with our site "improvements". Basically we now have the following options -

1.) Featured Ad - This will make your ad appear above all others in your main chosen category (ie Books Non-Fiction) for 5 days. It will have a star next to it and be highlighted as well. This is good for those who want their ad to stand out from other ads. Cost - $1.00 via PayPal

Just remember that if you use a paid option that after paying via PayPal you still must verify your ad through your email to activate it. That is when your ad will appear.

2.) Extended Ad - This will make your ad last an extra 5 days on the site or an extra 10 days on the site (your choice) beyond the current 20 day cycle. It appears along with all the other ads and is not a Featured Ad. But it does last longer than regular ads. Cost $0.50 for 5 days -or- $0.75 for 10 days via PayPal.

Just remember that if you use a paid option that after paying via PayPal you still must verify your ad through your email to activate it. That is when your ad will appear.

3.) Newsletter - We now have a newsletter option so we can update you via the email address you provide us with when placing your ad. So if there's some good info we got we can send it on over to you. We are working out how often we should send this out. Maybe once a month, more, or sporadic? We will work on this and not abuse it. It is a cool option though.

4.) My Account - Now you can go to My Account and create your very own account with us. It's quite basic. You can upload a pic to represent you. When visitors click on your User Account, through your ad on the site, they will see your profile pic and all the books/stuff you currently have for sale on the site. It's a basic account for the site. Cost - FREE! (Some have already used this. Looks good!)

5.) We added a Humor category under the eBooks and Books Fiction main categories!

The site is still FREE to use. We just added a few more things for more flexibility with the site. As far as the prices of the Featured Ad go we need to find a price point that isn't so cheap that everyone will use it and push regular users down while keeping it not too pricey either.

We are still looking for bugs but it is all up for your use. Please let us know if you find any discrepancies by emailing us at contact@bookbarista.com

Hope you like the new additions. And thanks for using the site
