Engaging Students with a Free Book Giveaway

Today I did something different. I got the idea from observing students on campus who found a way to make extra money by selling items. They would place their items on a bench, and others could choose what they wanted and pay for them. The prices were not high, and they relied on the honesty of the person picking up the product, as there was no one monitoring the transactions.

This is where I got the idea from.

My intention was to have fun and engage with students in a new way. However, if they didn't want to pay the small amount of 1 or 2 Yuan required, I would still give them the book. The main goal was to enjoy the experience and not make money.

While doing this, I recorded a video that was quite enjoyable. Many students passed by without responding to my invitation, probably assuming that I was selling something and they weren't interested in purchasing. However, those who stopped to see what it was all about walked away with a free book.

The book I offered was the first volume of my 10-volume collection titled "The World in Your Hands: A Guide to Every Nation." Inside the book, I included a link to the audiobook version, which is available for free on my website. As you may have noticed, I am promoting my book, but the written version must be purchased, while the audiobook can always be accessed for free at the following link: https://mgameirollc.uteach.io/courses/the-world-in-your-hands-a-guide-to-every-nation
