Believe it or not, this is my first blog tour! I’m very excited to tell the world about How to Promote Your Children’s Book: Tips, Tricks, and Secrets to Create a Bestseller and thought, “I need a tour!” So how did I set it up to succeed?
(Tomorrow I show you how I made it easy for my hosts.)

Make Your Blog Tour Work

Prepare before notifying. I created a media page here.
Notify. I sent out an email through mailchimp announcing
Reciprocity. I gave a free download of the book to everyone in the book and let them know I was looking for hosts.
Set up dates. I wanted a concentration of dates with a smattering of follow up.
Fun inspiration. I offered suggestions for varying kinds of interviews, but these hosts have some really fun theme days, and I was inspired by that! Each stop will have different things going on.
Prizes! I offered each host a prize for their readers. I’ll be giving away downloads of the book at every stop… if you win twice, you can give your second to a friend!
Reciprocate again. When I list the tour schedule everyone gets some promotion. I’ll also do a podcast episode with a collection of great promotional stories by authors.
Follow up. I’ll make sure to let you know how it works when it’s all done.
