Attention Published Authors - There's a new book blog tour website (www.inspiredauthor.com/promotion) where you have several options to promote your books. First register on the site to create your profile page. While you're on the site, check details about being a site sponsor and feature author opportunities. Any questions, contact author Nikki Leigh at nikki_leigh22939@yahoo.com. There are opportunities for readers, authors, and business people.
2 Week Bargain Tour – The author supplies information and answers interviews. Nikki coordinates all tour stops and activities. The author visits 8-10 blogs – 2 weeks. This tour is for the author who wants me to handle the coordination and posting for the tour. I do want to make sure that authors understand that they still need to supply information about themselves and their books. I will also have 8-10 interviews for the author to answer for their tour. Your information will be posted by me on the tour site, sent to the blog owners that host you and promotions for your tour will be posted on a number of high traffic blogs and on social networking and social bookmarking sites.
4 Week Bargain Tour – The author supplies information and answers interviews. Nikki coordinates all tour stops and activities. The author visits 8-10 blogs – 4 weeks. This tour is for the author who wants me to handle the coordination and posting for the tour. I do want to make sure that authors understand that they still need to supply information about themselves and their books. I will also have 8-10 (or more) interviews for the author to answer for their tour. Your information will be posted by me on the tour site, sent to the blog owners that host you and promotions for your tour will be posted on a number of high traffic blogs and on social networking and social bookmarking sites.
Mentored Tour – This tour runs for 1 month and I work hand in hand with the author to coordinate, plan and promote the tour. This tour is a lot of work for the author and it is not right for everyone. However, the authors who choose this tour and apply themselves will learn a wealth of promotional information they can use long after the tour is over.
This tour is a great way for authors to get their feet wet, to learn much more about tours and about promotion in general. I wrote an instruction booklet for all touring authors and it contains a wealth of information about how to prepare for the tour, who to contact and how to promote your tour. I don’t coordinate the tour stops and the posting, but I am here to answer questions. This tour option offers a lot of flexibility for the author and if you follow directions, you will learn a lot of promotional information that will work for you long after your tour is over.
Advanced “Golden Ticket” Tour – The author supplies information and Nikki coordinates all tour stops and activities. This is a 4 week tour with 15-20 blogs. This tour is for the author who wants me to handle the coordination and posting for the tour. I do want to make sure that authors understand that they still need to supply information about themselves and their books. I will also have 15-20 interviews for the author to answer for their tour. Your information will be posted by me on the tour site, sent to the blog owners that host you and promotions for your tour will be posted on a number of high traffic blogs and on social networking and social bookmarking sites. It’s also possible to do one of these tours and many authors could do a budget tour for additional books – if they prefer to do that.
5 Day Blog Blitz – This is an intense campaign and can include 20-40 blogs. For this campaign, I need a wide variety of information from the author and the author needs to be available to work with me and to visit these blogs during that week. If you are interested in this option, contact me to discuss it in more detail. This can be especially useful with a timely topic or if you want to coordinate the tour with other promotional events.
Customized Tour Options - If you would like a customized tour, check this box and we can discuss the options that are best for you.
If you prefer to tour longer or to visit more blogs, contact me and we’ll talk about a timeframe and prices. Also remember that the tour site will archive all of your tour sites and these posts will continue to show up on search engines and people can visit the site to learn more about you at any time during or after your tour. One of the things I really like about the virtual tour site is that all of your tour interviews and guest posts are in one central location for people to learn so much about you in one place. This is beneficial for you during your tour and after the tour is over.
