And They're Off!
It's been fun chaperoning Little Pickle Press through their first blog book tour, especially since owner and author, Rana DiOrio is a student in the current blog book tours class and I get to use her as an example of how to do things the right way. ;) Now the rest of the class is closely following the What Does It Mean To Be Present? tour to see what they can learn for their own book promotions.
We started the tour at the fabulous The Smart Mama blog yesterday where Jennifer Taggart talks about her phone conversation with Rana. Both are attorneys, have young children, and are deeply, passionately committed to creating a healthy world for their families. Their blogs were a match made in heaven!
On day #2, we take an entirely different slant at the Blood-Red Pencil with an interview between resident book designer Sherry Wachter and Eliza Wheeler who illustrated the book. We have a lively discussion going amongst fellow artists and publishers.
Tomorrow, Gina Raith at Be Well Together shares her experience of the book and the idea of "being present". It's a concept that adults are also discovering during this book tour so be sure to join us again to learn more.
To get the entire schedule and to sign up for the name-the-next-book contest and prize, jump over to the Little Pickle Press blog. Remember that each of the tour stops also has coupon codes for a special 2-book/free poster for $29.95 offer. The posters are printed on an environmentally-friendly paper called Terraskin.
I'll add more to this post as the tour progresses. So far, so fun!

What Amount of Money Should I Ask For
What Amount of Money Should I Ask For
This is a frequent question among those extra to grant writing.We work in that non profit organizations which, by their definition, need now much financial support as can sell for raised. So, don't we all just want to sweat for $50,000, on each grant proposal that we submit?
Wanting $50,000 and being able to raise $50,000 or more are two different but complimentary realities.Most non profit organizations that are ready to be successful set raisers could raise $50,000 if they passion to. This concept is the key to acute how much to ask for.To act as flashing a non profit organization needs to be a 501 (c)(3), filing its taxes again form 990 regularly, auditing its accounting with an outside auditor, following its charter, have buy guidance from its own board and volunteers, be acceptance help from the community (volunteer, leadership kind, financial, etc.), and have its proposals absolutely researched, informed, current, factual, accurate, etc.
In order to decide, though, how much money to ask being from each and every foundation that your organization is going to nearing - you have to lap up direct budgets pulled together for every program, project, or capital part (etc.) that you are requesting buy into support for.Be confident that the foundations you are working to approach are interested in funding your cause, in the geographic cestuses that you serve, and like to donate assistance to whatever you're asking considering allow money being. You can check foundations' guidelines to notice whether your org further its needs match a foundation's interests.
Don't expect a foundation to give your org a grant to cover total expenses. That happens beneath inherent circumstances, so conjecture that your appearance is not special if you aren't assured. It is really rare over a single foundation to dinero for the whole enchilada enchilada. So, you will buy to assume that you will have to exertion to many foundations to payment for a different project, program, or capital item.The way that I determine how much to ask for from a consideration is I look at their giving history to other organizations in my region, that focus on the same kind of liveliness that my org does, and for the kind of project/program/item that we're looking to fund.

A Technique For Finding Blog Hosts
I asked the class to do a little exercise over the weekend - make a list of keywords for your novel, then using as many of those words as you can cram in, write a three-sentence synopsis of your book. Here's what Nancy submitted:
While traveling home, Missie is thrust through a portal where her music plays an important role in defeating a tyrant. Her career must be sacrificed, her life forever changed, to accommodate these Renaissance costumed people of Gil-Lael. Their values are so different from Missie's modern American lifestyle, that she believes she has truly entered a fantasy world.
My list:
music
career
sacrifices
values
costumes
Renaissance festivals
life changes
fantasy
travel
Nancy has nailed her keywords and a description that's clear enough for us to understand the gist of her book. (Polished, this could live on her blog, too.)
Just for yucks, I googled "Renaissance Festival blogs" and the first hit gave me a musical group that ties into that particular book theme:
http://www.cantigamusic.com/blog.html
This blog seems to be relatively active. And she's doing some traveling so that's another keyword connection along with music!
The next step for Nancy is to start a separate blogroll on her blog - either for music or for the festivals that relate to her theme, or both. (She could link to many Ren Fests throughout the country.) Add this blog right into a related blogroll immediately. Then it won't be forgotten or lost forever. Nancy will see the name on her blog, hop over there, and start interacting with this blogger by leaving a comment now and then, or at least staying in tune with what they are doing. (Don't just dump your book info on them though - that's just too tacky.) Always check to make sure a potential host blogger has Twitter and Facebook information and try to connect on those levels, too.
Nancy might also check costume blogs and travel blogs for countries pertinent to her theme. Even if a blog doesn't look particularly good or active, look at their blogroll, because that's where the good hosts often lie... even another layer or two down can yield some real blog gems. One related blog leads to another.
Yes, it's time-consuming, but well worth the effort. You do this a little each day, until you have dozens upon dozens of potential blog book tour hosts in your clickable blogrolls. By the time you're ready to plan your tour, you'll have choices and, even better, relationships established with other bloggers. And that means success for your blog book tour.

Nancy will see the name on her blog, hop over there, and start interacting with this blogger by leaving a comment now and then, or at least staying in tune with what they are doing. (Don't just dump your book info on them though - that's just too tacky.) Always check to make sure a potential host blogger has Twitter and Facebook information and try to connect on those levels, too.
Nancy might also check costume blogs and travel blogs for countries pertinent to her theme. Even if a blog doesn't look particularly good or active, look at their blogroll, because that's where the good hosts often lie... even another layer or two down can yield some real blog gems. One related blog leads to another.
Yes, it's time-consuming, but well worth the effort. You do this a little each day, until you have dozens upon dozens of potential blog book tour hosts in your clickable blogrolls. By the time you're ready to plan your tour, you'll have choices and, even better, relationships established with other bloggers. And that means success for your blog book tour.

Blog Critiques Begin
The class spent most of last week learning about the elements of a good blog - their own, and the ones they will be seeking out as potential hosts for their blog book tours. Today we start with critiques of the member blogs. Alex J. Cavanaugh has agreed to let me post the review that started off his critique this morning. Go to his blog here and then compare it to the comments below. These are all tips that can help improve your own blog.
Basic Design Attractiveness?
Excellent and right in line with the book theme.
Title and URL cohesive?
Yes. Easy for readers to remember.
Consistency and clarity of blog purpose?
Mostly.
Loading speed?
The header hangs up on my dial-up. It takes quite a while to load but presumably slow connects aren't an issue in outer space.
Follow widget in place?
Perfect - all of them up high and right.
Hit counter?
Yes, and well-placed towards the bottom of the page with actual count showing.
Bookmarking in place?
Positioned with the follow widgets, but maybe could add an RSS feed link?
FB and Twitter widgets?
Didn't see Facebook, but Twitter is there.
Blogrolls?
Yes, very good. Could be organized a bit more concisely.
Linking effective? Tags/keywords used?
Good enough. Could have more linking within posts and between posts.
Frequent posting 2-3 x weekly?
Yes, very good, and a nice mix. Could include the occasional shorter post, or split longer posts into two.
Quality of overall posts?
Excellent, and clearly readers love this blog.
Comments section working?
Yes, and Alex gets enviable comment interaction. I suspect his ability to cyber-schmooze and interact with other bloggers (make friends) results in long-term loyalty. All bloggers should try to achieve this. Then you don't have to look for blog hosts - they beg to host you!
Blog components arranged in optimum manner? (see tomorrow's post for more about this)
Yes, except where noted.
Too many/too few third-party gadgets?
The blog award gadgets are a bit much - I know that it's hard not to accept these tokens of friendship, but maybe add older ones to the bottom of the page, and keep only a few of the most recent at the top?
They are both a psychological attractant and a visual repellent, so may take some clever managing.
Pages used effectively? Can the reader easily learn more about this writer and book?
Separate pages with tabs - with author bio, maybe an excerpt under another tab, a list of your favorite books - these could all engage the reader even more.
What's great?
Almost everything!
What can be improved?
Not much.
Is it ready for a blog tour?
Without a doubt.
Nice job, Alex! We'll expect a great blog book tour from you sometime this autumn.

Day #2 Blog Book Tours Class
Yesterday we covered the importance of having a hit counter (which tracks your blog visitors) on your blog and a bookmarking button.
I recommend that new bloggers begin with either Sitemeter.com or Statcounter.com because they are simple to install. If you like statistics, you might be happier using Google Analytics, too. Blogger doesn't have a built-in hit counter, so you'll have to add a third-party counter yourself. WordPress has this function built in to their blogging platform.
I prefer the counter to show the number of visitors as demonstrated at the Blood-Red Pencil blog and at the bottom of the page or bottom-most in the sidebar.
The bookmarking button most people like best is AddThis and that should be placed quite high in the sidebar where it is easily accessible to readers perusing your newest blog post. However, place it below your profile or other built-in sidebar feature, as third-party widgets tend to slow down blog loading. I like the AddThis button to be right where it is now to the right of this post. See it? It's very handy and makes it easy for you to share this post. :)
Next we'll discuss the all-important acts of regularly posting to the blog and building relevant blogrolls. The class is frantically at work getting their blogs in shape for the impending critiques scheduled to begin this weekend. When was the last time you posted something really good and well worth reading?

First Day of Class Review
We jumped right into making our blogs better using our usual list of criteria. Monday's prompts included these points for consideration:
Basic Design Attractiveness?
Title and URL cohesive?
Consistency and clarity of blog purpose?
Loading speed?
Let's discuss the second point. Is the URL consistent with the blog's title? Why does it matter? If you as an author plan to use your name in the http://yourname.blogspot. com then reinforcing this in your blog's title will make it easier for the reader to remember you. So your blog's header might read something like Your Name Talks About Writing. This is a simple form of branding that will serve you well in the long run. You should also try to stick to one name when setting up your accounts on other social networks. It's a lovely thing when a search for Your Name brings up six of your accounts in the first ten hits! So plan carefully early on.
Focus often on the blog's purpose. If you, as an author, use your name (and particularly if you have a pen name) in the blog URL and title, then it makes sense that your blogging will relate to your writing career, even though you may add personal notes to engage your readers. Periodically critique your blog to make sure it's sending the message you want to readers. If a major goal is promoting your books, then don't bury them in layers of unrelated material. This happens over time, especially as you add outside widgets and links. Housekeeping is important to keeping your blog crisp and on-task.
Everyone loves an attractive blog, but graphic templates can be so image-heavy, they take forever to load. Remember that your readers don't all have high-speed Internet, so don't try to get too fancy with your imagery. The best way to test your blog is to ask a few readers to comment about loading speed. Sometimes your blog header will take eons to load. Also be sure to keep third-party widgets a bit lower down in your sidebars, as they will tend to slow down blog-loading speeds.
Take a look at your blog today and assess how you stack up. Tomorrow we'll look at some widgets/gadgets that every blog should have.

Touring in a Virtual World
One of our favorite students, and certainly one of the most successful when it comes to promoting her books with blog book tours, is L. Diane Wolfe. Diane is a successful professional speaker and author of The Circle of Friends young adult fiction books. Here's what we cover in our classes, and what has worked well for Diane, in her own words:
Successful book promotion requires effort on the part of the publisher and even more so from the author. With the rising costs of a physical tour and the increase of Internet users, a virtual tour is an effective and inexpensive marketing tool.
For those not familiar with a virtual tour, it involves visiting a different site on the web every day for a set period of time. The sites range from websites and blogs to social sites and online radio. The author schedules a visit with the site’s host in advance and invites fans and friends to follow the appearances. This increases the author’s exposure online. The posts also add to search engine fodder for the author’s sites.
How difficult is it to set up a virtual tour? It’s not hard, but it will require time and planning. Here’s a step-by-step guideline to follow:
· Check with your publisher. Find out if they are setting up a tour and coordinate with their efforts. Ask if they’re willing to do giveaways. If they’ve no plans for online appearances, consider setting one up on your own. There is also the option of hiring a virtual tour service, but they charge an average of $150-$3000, so weigh your options.
· Determine your assets. Are you an active blogger? To what social sites do you belong? Do you have a website and email list and/or newsletter?
· Build a list of potential hosts. Always consider where your target audience goes online. Look for websites and blogs relevant to your book’s topic. Seek out book bloggers who cover your genre and author blogs that share your audience. Follow these blogs and comment where appropriate. Look for podcasts and online radio shows that reach your target audience. Select sites with large amounts of traffic.
· Grow familiar with these sites. Read their guidelines for articles, guest posts, and reviews. Determine your best approach to each individual site - article or guest post; interview; book review; giveaway; or announcement. Many of these venues book dates months in advance, so plan ahead!
· Send a polite inquiry to the blog owner, webmaster, or podcast show host. Let them know you’ve been following their site and ask if you can make an appearance during your virtual tour. Be prepared to provide suggestions for articles and guest posts. Always include your book information, bio, and links. Let the person know the date range of your virtual tour.
· Respond quickly to replies. Confirm dates and type of appearance or topic of guest post. If they request a review copy or want to do a giveaway, pass along the information to your publisher. Be willing to acquiesce to their requests!
· Keep a calendar handy. Book one stop a day - two at the most. Make a list of all articles and guest posts required.
· Two - four weeks before appearance, touch base with your host. Send them your complete information - book synopsis and details, links to purchase, a short bio, links to your sites, and a couple of reviews. Send your guest post or article as well, or completed interview. (If you’ve not received your interview, let the host know you are excited to see the questions.) Be sure to include a promotional photo and book cover art.
· Let your fan base know about your virtual tour. Post it on your website, blog, and include links in your newsletter.
· Before the tour begins, check with any unconfirmed hosts.
· The day of your appearance, visit the website or blog several times and respond to comments and questions. If it’s a live podcast, be prepared for questions.
· Send your host a thank you email when it’s all over!
A virtual tour is a win-win for guests and hosts, as both gain exposure to a new audience. The host presents the author to his or her readers and the author brings followers and fans to that site. Not only will this gain exposure, new fans, reviews, and sales for an author, it secures options for future tours. If you’ve been pleasant, professional, and punctual, hosts will be happy to invite you to visit again.
It requires a lot of work in advance, but the rewards of a virtual tour are well worth the effort!
