Just watched the movie Joy and feeling reinvigorated to follow my dreams as an “inventor” of sorts for Kidioke Media. Like the woman portrayed in Joy, I too have had multiple ideas throughout the years and it was really interesting to see that after all those years she had kept inventing and patenting these really successful products. It was even cooler to see that the mop the movie centered around was one that I owned in college. On a side note I have to say the mop kind of stunk in my opinion however I did find it cool enough to buy so who am I to say. But I digress.
So here we are coming up on the third quarter since my books arrived and the first round of royalties have been mailed out. Advances were satisfied rather quickly which I’m very happy about because that means a lot of books were sold. Lullabye is not performing quite as well as Wonderful World and My Girl but I expected that. When I started Kidioke I had no idea what Lullabye was. It wasn’t until my friend told me it would make a good song did I recognize its appeal. I’ve always been a huge Billy Joel fan but that song didn’t get much air play at least not that I can remember. I actually think the app video and the story it tells is far better than my other two titles. Just a side note if you’re debating which one to get.
We are so happy to announce that Hallmark Corporate has decided to
take a chance on us and put our Kidioke Children's Sound Books in the
testing phase for 10 stores located across the country. What an awesome
opportunity to get the word out. It's one thing to see the videos on
Facebook or Instagram but to actually hold the books in your hand -
hearing and seeing the quality in person will be very positive. Orders
have been steadily coming over to us and we couldn't be happier with the
holiday push we've experienced thus far. I hope that everyone that has
purchased a book takes a minute to post a review on our site or on
Amazon. And don't forget to check out our awesome app - at just $2.99
per song the price can't be beat! Can't wait to get the numbers back
from Hallmark. I'm confident they'll be pleased. :)
Howard Stern - Here I come.
