It’s Day 19 and time to get your book further afield. Today’s task aims to spread the word in a new space. Ready?
5 Minute Promo # 19
Spreading the word far and wide.
Email another blogger (ie a blogger another than yourself) and ask them to interview you or otherwise host you on their blog. This can be confronting, but is a great way not just to spread the word about your book but also to make a friend, especially if you reciprocate by inviting them to visit your blog, either now or later.
Can’t find a blog to visit? I’m going to make it super easy-peasy for you. If you are Australian, visit my other website Aussiereviews.com and then email me through the site and ask if I can host you for the Meet My Book feature. Unless I am swamped by hundreds of requests, I will be happy to send you the questions and schedule your post very soon. How easy is that?
A word of warning: whether it’s my blog or someone else’s, always visit the site before you email, and show that you know your book is a good match for what they do. And be polite. Most bloggers are unpaid and do what they do in their spare time, so showing respect makes their task much more enjoyable.
The clock is ticking: five minutes is all it will take. Go!
