Book Tour Radio - This is our blog tour / book tour platform that we use to promote Indie Authors in
all genres. Generally our only restrictions are that NO nudity or overtly XXX titles are accepted. We
also do not include books that glamorize violence or incite prejudice or hate. Authors who are a bit
nervous about the idea of doing interviews can still be featured. In fact, most of our profiles are without
audio interviews. We profile your titles with links to your order pages, Facebook, Twitter, Author

A-Email:
Even if you already have a primary email account it is a good idea to create a new email account that
relates to your book title, author name, genre, etc. You will then use this email to register or request the
various FREE services highlighted in this publication. It is best to keep your book business
communications separate from your personal email chatter.

B-Website:
Even if you only have one book and you sell it on Amazon Kindle or any other indie platform YOU
NEED AN AUTHOR WEBSITE. Any author without a website is LOSING POTENTIAL SALES.
First you need to reserve a domain name. You should reserve your preferred domain names before
those names are taken. You should reserve domains that include your name, or author pen name, your
book titles, etc. These will be very important as your work develops and your books find a following.

that on the Author FB page.)
Twitter http://twitter.com/ Twitter can probably be the easiest tool to help you start connecting with
like-minded people and potential fans. For example: Let’s say you write books about Home Schooling.
You can do a Twitter search for Home School and see other twitter accounts that are about Home
Schooling. You can “follow” the followers of those lists. It is then highly likely that those followers
will then follow you. They will see a link to your website and may choose to further engage with you.
If the people you follow do not follow you back after a reasonable period of time…you can unfollow
them and then follow others. Twitter will allow you to follow up to 2000 people with minimal
restriction. After 2000 some follow limits apply. You can usually follow about 100 a day without issue.
You can use a free application such as http://hootsuite.com/ to help you manage your various social
media accounts.
LinkedIn http://www.linkedin.com/ LinkedIn is a more professional oriented platform for networking
and social interaction. You can also create your own group to target the group of people that you want
to interact with such as: teachers, cancer survivors, authors, entrepreneurs, etc. You can also link to
your blog and post books you have published. We recommend an extra resource if you decide to
maximize your potential on LinkedIn. It costs a few $ but the marketing value is enormous:
http://dpc123.com/linkedin. But you can get started and make some valuable connections on LinkedIn
for FREE.
MySpace http://www.myspace.com/ Myspace seems to work well in genres that attract a fan base. So
this would be especially helpful to fiction writers.
Pinterest This is the hottest new social platform. As you can see from our Pinterest page we are still
trying to figure out the best way to interact with Pinterest: http://pinterest.com/booktourradio/ This is a
great platform for authors who love to find cool resources and share them.
Once you have these accounts set up, post widgets, linking buttons, etc. on your website & blogs so
that your visitors can find your social pages. Also post your website address (URL) on social pages so
your friends/followers can find your website.
D-Email List:
Once you are starting to get visitors to your website, you need to start building an opt-in email list. You
can let these “fans” know when you publish your works, when you are at events or book signings,
when you are in the media, when you are offering free sample chapters etc. In fact offering a “free

Of all of the FREE services we have reviewed….these companies allow the most call in listeners. Once
your recording is done, you can access the mp3 file. You can post this on your website, social sites and

G-Webinars:

free service: http://www.anymeeting.com/.

H-Promote your TeleSeminars & Webinars:
You can post your “event” for FREE at: http://www.eventbrite.com/
You can also promote your TeleCalls and Webinars at: http://www.freeteleseminarlist.com/
I-Ready to Publish your book:
There is nothing to stop you from being a published author. There are now many publishing on demand
(POD) platforms to choose from. Most will offer premium services for extra $ but you can design a
FREE book cover and create a paperback book AND have it for sale on Amazon for free with
Amazon’s own POD service: https://www.createspace.com/ The only unavoidable charge is that you
need to buy a proof copy to review and approve before your paperback can be listed for sale. This
usually runs about $3 to $7.
J-Creating an eBook:
Once you have written your book in Microsoft Word, you can also submit it to the Amazon Kindle
store and Barnes and Noble’s Nook Store. This is easily done online. Both Websites will post your
book in their stores for free and will automatically convert your Word DOC into the eBook format they
use. Smashwords also gives you access to several digital publishing platforms, for free.
