What's A Street Team

A street team is a group of people who will promote an author's work. This group of people consists of his friends, acquaintances and friends of friends.

What's My Book About?

Guards Gone Wild! is a memoir of my experiences in the private security industry. There’s plenty to tell. Scams perpetrated by security agencies and guards. Intense confrontations with delinquents and work colleagues. Funny moments to make you laugh and frustrating moments that made me cry. And so on and so forth.

But I don't want you to just laugh or cry along with me. In order to reduce conflicts between security guards and the general public, I think there are some serious questions that need to be asked.

For example, why are some shopping malls are more popular with delinquents than others? Why do security guards get cranky when customers want to enter the department store at the very last minute? Are security guards overworked? What are the negative effects of sleep deprivation? The answers to these questions and more can be found in my book.

What Does A Street Team Do?

Although I say "street team", there's no need for anyone to actually hit the streets. You can help promote my book by sharing images and information on your social media accounts. For example, it would be good enough if you could just share a picture of my book and some personal thoughts. And of course let your followers know where they can purchase my book.

If you are a blogger with an active blog, I would greatly appreciate it if you are interested in reviewing my book. I can't afford to pay but I can at least send you a free signed copy. This offer only applies to residents of Singapore only as I am too poor to mail multiple packages to overseas destinations.

Why Help Me At All?

Because I will reciprocate. If you review my book now, I will be happy to review your book as well. Even if you are not a published author at this point in time, you might become one in the future. And at that time, when you remind me of the help you once offered me, I will be happy to write you a review as well.

Even if the help you offer me is just a simple gesture of sharing a link on your Facebook timeline, I will also be happy to return the favour.

So If You Are Interested In Helping Me...

You can send an email to me at guardsgonewild@gmail.com.
