Secrets to a Successful Blog Tour
Here's what
Fans are saying
This book is full of tips that benefit both those who want to put together their own tour AND those who are thinking of hiring an independent tour company. It tells you what to expect along the way, things to consider, and a timetable to make your tour a success.
As I read this little gem, I could see why Ms Huber took 50 Shades to such success when it was released as an Indie book. She seems to consider every angle : social media, release day, giveaways, and graphics (among others) and sets each out in detail for those authors who aren't certain of the steps to take.
