Plan Ahead

Mystery Blogger B’s 2013 theme: " I’ll be sharing what I learned on a month-long blog tour I did last year for one of my novels and what I've discovered since."
B  is for Blog Tour

Plan in advance. Further than you think you should.


Decide on length of tour and frequency of posts.Contact possible hosts, who are a good fit for your novel.Write posts in advance. Seriously.Send posts early and make them easy to manage.Prepare badges and order giveaways.Decide on a giveaway/freebie day early and include in your post for each blog.Use all promotional opportunities available.Gift your hosts with a copy of your book.

Change your blog header (optional, but an immediate indicator that you have something special happening on your blog).Continue to update your blog, so visitors will be aware of your promo/marketing efforts and where you will be on what days. Contact tour hosts a few days in advance to be sure they remember when to post.Ensure book links, Rafflecopter widgets and online freebies are in place and ready to roll out on day one.
Who was it? HINT: This blogger loves Jamaica and "Joy" is her name.

How do I have time to be insecure in April? I don't know, but I am. Here's what I mean.

Will the posts I've scheduled actually publish? 
Get up at 3AM to be sure. 
Go to bed. 

Did I have any typos or grammar mistakes? 
Get up at #:3:30AM to be sure. 
Go to bed. 

Did I get that writer's name correct? How about those links, did I check them? 
Get up at 4AM to be sure. 
Forget bed.
