I'm a bit over halfway though this month long blog tour for my latest Deputy Tempe Crabtree mystery, River Spirits.
Right off the bat I had a problem. The person who had agreed to do the first stop on the tour must've forgot and/or what I sent got lost in cyber space. So my tour started a day late with two stops. I had two or three I had to query because the post weren't up on the slotted day.
Some don't put blog posts up ahead of time.
Other needed to be reminded--though right before the tour I sent out a reminder to each one.
Interestingly, some blogs draw far more commenters than others. I have as yet to figure out why in most cases--though there are some very popular blogs out there that get lots of hits and comments.
I've advertised each day the same--so don't think that's really had much influence at all.
What I do think makes a difference is the topic of the post. Some topics seem to draw people to comment.
I've had many, many unique commenters who have only commented on a few blogs-- and many who only commented on one.
What does this mean? I have no idea. It seems that I am having some increase in sales for the Kindle version of the book.
Here is the remainder of stop I"m making on the tour.
