I've seen blog hops and blog tours before, but didn't understand some of the details.

Glad to help clarify. I've done b...Thanks Lisa. Glad to help clarify. I've done blog tours for a few of my books. One that I paid for,and two others that I organized myself. I have to say, blog tours are very time consuming and don't seem to have the attendance and results that they used to. I don't think I'll do a formal tour again as I have in the past, but rather, schedule a few guest posts on very high traffic sites.<br /><br />Hi Theresa. I don't have current stats for this years Blog Hop since we just started it and I was not in the planning, so I can't tell you if it was a logistical nightmare to set up. Dianne Venetta does much of the leg work and seems to have it down to a science. We have 62 authors participating this year. In two days, I've had half a dozen new folks leave comments on my blog, which rarely gets much comment traffic since I only use it for monthly updates.<br /><br />With any of these events, I think it's safe to say, it won't sell a lot of books. But if it gets some new people on my email list, folks following me on twitter, or FB, and my name gets in front of potential new readers, it's done its job.<br /><br />PJ Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761755589950460065noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507548911400837437.post-51845358122775145422013-04-11T10:53:20.372-06:002013-04-11T10:53:20.372-06:00Hi PJ,

Can I be nosy and ask for statistics? <br />Just wondering how many participants hopping from blog to blog is considered a "Success". And did many of the 50 authors participating see a spike in sales after that? How big of a spike?<br /><br />To this nontechy author, it sounds like fun--but a NIGHTMARE to orchestrate.<br />Thanks for sharing!Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03731545124996878153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507548911400837437.post-42254177201295132452013-04-11T07:11:32.226-06:002013-04-11T07:11:32.226-06:00Wow, PJ, your Waning Moon sounds thrilling!

I wish you the very best in your journey with it.<br /><br />You read my mind, Leslie Ann, in asking PJ the question about the difference between a blog tour & hop. Thanks, PJ, for clearing that up.<br /><br />I checked out your blog hop, PJ, and I'm "digging" to get back there to enter for those wonderful prizes. I wish you great success with it again this year. <br /><br />Oh....what do you say, Leslie Ann--want to start a blog hop?

WOW.<br /><br />And I agree, paying it forward is one wonderful part of the writer's way. It's one reason I have the blog and then it's compounded when authors like you share their information so openly.<br /><br />ciao<br />~LALeslie Ann aka LAhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15584041234338927880noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6507548911400837437.post-26361978862307614572013-04-10T08:52:01.742-06:002013-04-10T08:52:01.742-06:00Thanks for the props:-)I'm glad to share what ...Thanks for the props:-)I'm glad to share what I've learned, Marian.

To clarify, the Authors in Bloom Blog Hop has over 50 authors participating, all with prizes and giveaways. To make entering for the Grand prize of a Kindle or Nook easier, we've done away with the "key word collecting" and all you need to do is leave a comment on any site to be entered. The more sites you visit and comment on, the more chances you have to win! I hope to see you at the hop!PJ Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761755589950460065noreply@blogger.com
