My Grl by John W. Howell
I was talking to the great John W. Howell whose book you can purchase by clicking on the picture above. An excellent thriller.
Now, we were going over ways to get people to volunteer for blog tours. Reblogs don’t get much traction, but original posts do. So, I’m looking for bloggers who are willing to take an HTML post I made to get Blog Tour volunteers.
This should get more attention to the Google Document in the post and it will also show if I have the HTML thing done correctly when pictures are included. Also, those who already volunteered can use this to test their HTML posting ability. It’s really just switch to ‘Text’ on the toolbar of the ‘New Post’ screen, copy, and paste.
Anyway, let me know if you’re interested in helping.
Oh and there’s a great chance that the Cover Reveal will be next Wednesday. When I have confirmation, I’ll make a post and send an email to all the volunteers. The Blog Tour will be taking volunteers up until March 30th.

I already signed up – but the HTML is the easiest way to do it. I agree about retweets so an original post is best. I am happy to promote #4, if I can keep my nose out of the book long enough 😉

Thanks. I was noticing how I wasn’t getting many volunteers, so I’m hoping that people posting this HTML ‘Sign Up’ post will help. So far barely half the amount of volunteers as last time.

I will tell you that I did have one person who said they couldn’t do the HTML post. I tried to show them how easy it was, but they still couldn’t get it. I find it duper easy to do though.

I had a few people bail on the blog tour because they couldn’t get the Word document in there. I think some people are scared to mess up something like this. Do you want me to send the HTML that I made to get volunteers and you can let me know if it works?

I can try it.

Apology for not responding to your earlier call to fill out the support form. Would my nonfiction oriented blog (~350 followers) be of any assistance? If so, could you spell out in plain English for us non-techies was is required for an HTML post?
I’d be happy to help with a post, but I also wonder about credibility, since I am at present more a nonfiction blogger, with the exception of a little poetry and comedic posts.

Every blog helps. There’s a Google Doc to fill out to make things easier to put together. Here’s the link:

The only difference between an HTML and regular post is the tab you hit on your new post tools (underline, italic, etc.). You’ll see a tab on the top right of that area for ‘Text’. Switch to that and do a copy/post of the premade post that will be sent. Publish like that and everything will appear as a real post on your blog.

Filling out the form now. Am familiar with working in the “text” tab/view for creating new posts.

Great. I use the preview to make sure it works when I do them. Saved my butt many times.

You’re signed up. Though, it’s looking like I’ll have to drop the blog tour down to 2 weeks instead of a month. I still have time to build things up, but it isn’t even enough for 1 per day and I’d like to have 2 per day to avoid any gaps from accidental forgettings.
