Last Updated: May 15, 2008
Every book deserves a proper introduction to the marketplace. Our campaigns are designed to generate online awareness for your book during the crucial 30 to 90 days your book is new in stores. You get an intense burst of online publicity, permanent installations that boost your visibility, and author training that lasts a lifetime.
Our goal is to make a spectacle without doing anything unethical. We won't post fake reviews, send unsolicited commercial email, or blog in the author's name. We take pains to bring your book to the attention of those who are interested without bothering those who aren't. It's a fine line. We walk it like Wallendas.
Publishing Partners Program
(Save 20% when you book three campaigns at once.)
We value our Publishing Partners who work with us season after season. To thank these clients and encourage new Publishing Partners, we offer a 20% discount when three or more campaigns are booked at once.
Blog Buddy
(Package Price = $9500 -- see Detailed Description)
We are very proud of this novel campaign. The Blog Buddy campaign won the 2008 Bulldog Reporter Award for PR Innovation of the Year. The Blog Buddy pairs your author with a "blog warrior" for a month of guided mayhem. This campaign requires a strong commitment by the author: one hour every working day for a month (20 daily sessions). Blog Buddy will help you make a lasting contribution to the Internet while learning how to responsibly promote your books, your business, and yourself.
Blog Tour
(Package Price = $9500 -- see Detailed Description)
The Blog Tour is designed for celebrities, CEOs, and others who don't have time to blog but want to be on the top sites. We have been producing blog tours, chat tours, and online seminars since 1995 for children's books, health & fitness, business, religion -- you name it. The Blog Tour is the most difficult campaign to produce and requires a signed contract at least 90 days in advance.
