FREE Hotbook for the Month of April!
Woo Hoo! It’s a new month and that means Hot Prints is offering up new FREE photo books with full-page photo layouts! How can they afford to do this? Well, they actually have advertisers sponsor the books. They sponsor the books by putting paper advertisements in the shipment of the Hotbook…. but no worries, these ads can be pulled out of the Hotbook!

I have to say I am LOVE the new site and you dancing in your lemon shirt is awesome! I have watched it 100 times! Made my day! LOL!! You are great!
I had to search to find the dancing Collin (but that was kind of fun, like where’s Waldo?)
Collin, the white box containing ads for Google, Swagbucks and Juicebox Jungle is covering up most of the video and I can just see your shoulders and head. Maybe it’s because I’m still using IE7…? (no big deal, I just thought you/your developers might want to know).
But the lemons are cheerful! I love how you turned a negative controversy into such a positive. 🙂
am i the only one that has the HARDEST TIME editing these books? i love that its free, but it is such a pain :/
My best friend had the same problem, and then I showed her a trick to doing this! When you begin to create the book, DO NOT CLICK AUTO FILL OPTION!! Seriously I do not even know why they create that option. It makes editing crazy hard!! Make sure there are no boxes anywhere that are checked for the auto fill option!! Once you are OFF auto fill, then upload all your pictures and then drag and drop everything! The layouts, backgrounds, pictures, everything is drag and drop(you click on a picture, hold the button and drag the picture to where you want to place it and let go of the button.) That SHOULD make it easier! 🙂
Thanks for mentioning this! I was having so many problems I never completed it, but I was using the autofill option. I’ll give it another try without doing autofill.
The video of you dancing makes my heart happy! YOU ROCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I love the new look of the site. It is great. Thanks for everyting Collin!
I cannot see the whole video of you dancing. Just your head. 🙁
Ha! I’m getting an image of only Collin’s head dancing! That would be funny.
I was up until 11:42 last night publishing my march book. i send them to my mother-in-law so she sees pics monthly for free! i love it.
yes, its hard site to work with, but im not complaining. i LOVE free!
I still have not recieved my book that i ordered on the first week in Feb.!! I emailed about it and all they told me was that the postal service was un predictable!! I Still have not recieved it… 🙁
I have not received my book from Feb. either or March I noticed they are an overseas company so it would be arriving air mail but if I don’t get one by the end of the month I’m giving up on them!
It take at least a month to get your book.
I got my March book in about 2 weeks… maybe try again?
is anybody else having a hard time signing up?! Everytime i try to sign up, i fill out all my information and click the sign up button it tell me to enter the correct recaptcha words but there are NONE!!!!
Having the same problem:(
Took awhile:
I first tried the help section, filled out a form there, they sent an email,
went to the link they sent for help desk
then I tried signing up again and it worked
i figured it out…it was b/c the security on my computer…I kept clikcing the button that said only send the what is secure and then i finally clicked send unsecure also and the words finally appeared…hope this makes sense and will help others!!
Has anyone actually received a book yet that they ordered from these guys?
I’m going to make one for my husband. for father day. Put photos of him haveing fun with my daughter. I tought it would be cute.
I did a book February 19 and received it around March 21. It was their Halloween one, and it turned out cute. The company is in Europe (maybe England?), so it does take a while and the site says there’s no way of tracking your book. You could always try reordering the book you already put together (as your free book for April). Also if you order towards the end of the month, it could take longer because I’m sure lots of people put off ordering their books until the last days of the month.
I have not recieved my March book its the first one I’ve done. Hope it comes soon.
I’ve made 5 books with them, usually takes 3-4 weeks to get them but they’re very cute def worth the wait. Got my last one yesterday that I ordered around the 8th or 9th of March.
What is the size of the book for ones already ordered? Am I the only one concerned that it says 20×25 CM…that’s small! Thanks for your help!
Can anyone tell me if the books are hardcover? I couldn’t find that info on their site. Thanks!
