I didn't know that reviews resulted in higher sales as opposed to guest posts, etc. Hopefully those types of tour stops generate buzz also!Carrie at In the Hammock Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01496016097652195216noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804362225532927635.post-74109981914011531022012-12-14T16:47:50.497-08:002012-12-14T16:47:50.497-08:00Blog tours aren't going anywhere, but you'...Blog tours aren't going anywhere, but you're right that the market is getting flooded by them. Some people (me included) will tune out a blog I regularly read if I see it's a tour and I'm not interested in the book. That said, I think there are still ways to make blog tours productive. It's all about making your tour different in a way that helps people remember your book and get's them interested in reading it.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052604405996474436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804362225532927635.post-81266565869098012752012-12-14T12:36:17.373-08:002012-12-14T12:36:17.373-08:00From what I have heard blog tours work great, I st...From what I have heard blog tours work great, I still get tons of requests for blog tours so many that I have to turn most of them down because I don't have the time to review all those books. <br /><br />Honestly internet & social media marketing is still a great way to reach many people, sure there are a lot of book reviews coming up but with blogs I read often if they give a book a high rating I will look into getting the book because to me their opinion counts. So if anything writers must make sure the blog they are asking to do a book tour has readers that read books in their market. Ex. you wouldnt want to ask a popular paranormal book blog to do a blog tour of your YA contemp.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-804362225532927635.post-12127208759063047252012-12-14T11:35:42.807-08:002012-12-14T11:35:42.807-08:00All I know is that my publishers are setting up bl...All I know is that my publishers are setting up blog tours for all my books.
