I posted I would describe the ‘Review Tour’ when it
happened. It’s another package I’m trying from Book Trailers Showcase. Once you
pay for the tour, the reviewers read your novel and then host a review of it on
their blogs. They are not being paid for the review except for ad stuff on BTS.
So far, I don’t see much of a difference between giving a review copy to a
reviewer, and doing the ‘Review Tour’. The money doesn’t guarantee you a good
review. If the participants hate your book, you get a bad review. The money
goes to BTS for organizing the tour and marketing. I’m sure this isn’t for
everyone, but joining ‘writer circle jerks’ where a group of authors annoy each
other with their novels just doesn’t jibe with me. I don’t want to pester the
hell out of friends and family in pursuit of name recognition with people who
already know me. I figure to keep pushing the marketing this year by feeding
whatever I make from my novels into more ads, and more new releases.
Anyway, here’s a link to the first stop and announcement on
my ‘Review Tour’ for THE PROTECTORS: So Many Books, So Little Time. I will let
everyone know if this helps in the name recognition and marketing front. :)
Begins on November 13th
