Today, September 4, 2011 is the last day to sign up for the blog book tours class which starts tomorrow, September 5th. If you are an author, have a blog and know how to use it, have at the very least rudimentary skills in social networking (Facebook and Twitter), you will benefit from this four-week course. There is no charge. If I offer it again (and that's a big IF), it won't be until this time next year. Here's what we'll cover:
Week One: Elements of a good blog, how to rate a blog, and critiques of some so
you can practice
Week Two: Learning to cyber-schmooze with potential hosts, ranking other blogs,
and collecting a pool of blog book tour hosts
Week Three: Social networking on Facebook and Twitter and how to use them to
find blog book tour hosts
Week Four: Crafting your tour based on the above-mentioned host pool, contacting
hosts, planning your stops, and writing your posts
Week Five: Questions, answers, brainstorming, and moving over to the BBT Cafe,
our social site
You must show up for class! Don't sign up if you don't plan to participate and work hard along with the rest of us!
