I would! But what is a Blog tour exactly?

[Tana]

ok so it's basically when a book is being released the author or publishers sets up a blog tour so they can advertize a book or author, they normally run around two weeks, travelling to 14 different blogs, some will be interviews, sometimes is a bio and overview of the book and of course giveaways. It helps promote the author and the book.

Its great for the blogger and the author.

we have enough people we could hold a blog tour does anyone know how to make buttons and banners?

[Tana]

then we would have to pick an author who would like to be in the blog tour since we have a few on them I think we would have to draw names to be fair lol

And, if I can get my copy of Photoshop to work, I could look into making a banner/button thing. -nods- I made my banner on my blog, for an idea of what my graphics are like!

I'll let you know if I manage to sort it! =]

[Xan]

I'd definitely be keen.

Here's my blog...

[Tana]

this sounds great we will do our own blog tours lol ok so I will make up the list and post it here to confirm who wants to do this then we have to pick an author there are a few who love to be involved in a blog tour so we probably have to pick names out of hat to be fair to each individual author.

[Anagha Uppal]

[Tana]

we have around 13 or 14 bloggers here who would like to be in a blog tour. Now how to pick one author out of 90 ish lol.....so I am thinking of posting a thread and letting them know about making connections blog tours and have a sign up. We will have to do it randomly and pick a name so keep an eye on the thread.

Will be interested depending what books are on offer.

[Tana]

yes that will be important it really is going to depend on what authors sign up. So far we have a few I think in one weeks time (give authors time to sign up) I will make a list and post it then the bloggers can let me know which ones interest them.

[Tana]

ok I have emailed everyone.

[Tana]

Ok everyone I have sent another email out this time to your email accounts you have sent me, please check your spam folders if you haven't recieved anything. The email is coming from Making Connections Group email account so you won't see my name on it. Oops.
