One
Month Long Tour
A one-month long tour can run an entire calendar month or be separated
between two months – total days involved 31 days (including weekends which
normally ARE NOT a part of the tour unless requested).
A minimum of at least one month prior to tour date is needed in order to
set up a tour. Two months’ prior time makes the tour run smoother.
The tour can consist of any combination or all of the following type
posts:
* REVIEW – A review of the book will be posted on the
participant’s blog as well as one or more of the following sites: Amazon,
Barnes and Noble, Goodreads, Facebook, etc. Can also include tweets on Twitter,
posting on Pinterest and Instagram.
* GUEST POST – This will be a post written by the author at the
request of a particular blogger(s). Please make sure each post is unique to
that site. The blogger requesting the guest post may provide a topic
suggestion.
* INTERVIEW – A participating blogger will submit 3 to 5
questions to be answered by the author.
* GIVEAWAY – A giveaway is not mandatory, but does help generate
interest in your book and the tour. We can coordinate the giveaway for you, if
you prefer. A giveaway of the book you’re touring (or a previous book in the
series) works well, along with any swag you’d like to include. These can be
blogger assigned giveaways for a certain number of stops or a tour-wide
giveaway (using Rafflecopter) to be included in any or all of these type posts.
* SPOTLIGHT – This type post will include the book cover, a book
synopsis, book buy links, author photo and bio, and an excerpt (if you so
desire).
* TOUR PAGE – Your own tour page with all tour information, tour stops
schedule, custom tour banner and graphics.
* THE TOUR
will include a minimum of 15 bloggers participating in your tour.
* PROMO
– The daily tour participant will be promoted on Twitter, Google+, Pinterest,
and Facebook.
* CUSTOM
GRAPHICS – A tour banner and custom graphics for Twitter and Facebook
will be created for the tour.
This tour is organized to make things easier for you so you only have to
deal with one person, not everyone participating in the tour. You will need to
write guest posts and interviews. In addition, you (or your publisher) will
have to provide review copies (print and/or eBooks) and mail out the giveaway
prizes when relevant. While reviews are awesome and needed for authors, a
review only tour can sometimes be difficult to conduct as bloggers have busy
lives away from their computers, especially in the summer months, and are
sometimes reluctant to participate in this type of tour.
It’s suggested that you visit each blog participating in your tour on the
day of their stop. However, it is understood that that may not always be
possible. It would be helpful if bloggers can be notified if you will be
visiting or not. As coordinator for your tour, I make a point to stop by each
blog on their post day to thank them for their participation.
Cost is $325 with $100 down payment at sign up and remainder at the end
of the tour.
