Right now I'm getting a Blog Hop put together for my new book,
I Love Precut Quilts! This is the first time I've ever organized a blog hop so I thought I'd write about my process in case anyone else might be interested in doing one at some point too. Psst! If you do a blog hop, sned me an email -- I might like to join yours. :)
I do have a couple slots open if anyone is interested in joining my hop.....Email me at: littlequilts@windstream.net.
STEP 1
The first thing that you need to do is figure out what your blog hop will be about. Mine, of course, is going to be about promoting my new book.
STEP 2
Now you need to decide when your blog hop will happen. At least give yourself 3 or 4 weeks to get everything organized or else you're going to feel overwhelmed.
STEP 3
Decide how many people you want to participate. For example, if your blog hop will be five days long you will want to have at least 5 bloggers (yourself included), but you could feature more than one blogger per day if you wish, it just takes a little extra planning.
STEP 4
Invite bloggers to participate. Start with your friends and acquaintances and branch out from there. If you can pull in some "famous" bloggers then that will only help your blog hop to be more successful.
STEP 5
Double check your bloggers and your schedule so that you have the correct number of bloggers for the number of days that you planned. Make any last minute adjustments if needed. Make sure that you send out information to your bloggers so that they know what's going on and what you'd like them to do.
STEP 6
If you're going to do giveaways, how will that work? Make sure everyone's on the same page here.
STEP 7
Now it's time to Blog Hop! Since you're super organized and everyone is ready, this will be a breeze, right?????
STEP 8
After the Hop, make sure all giveaways have been done as stated. THANK your bloggers and hoppers for participating.
