Have you ever thought about becoming a blog tour organiser?
- Maybe you just love authors and want to help them promote their books.

Now is your chance: learn how to organise professional blog tours and get paid doing it!
I’m teaming up with Danny from Bewitched Bookworms and together we’re going to unlock all the tour oragniser secrets!

Be sure to register for this epic, live webinar so you don’t miss out! The URL where you can tune in to the live interview will go out to everyone who registers.
This is awesome! I want to register!
Hopefully the first of many “Build a Bookish Business” webinars.
As I told my awesome subscribers a few weeks ago, I’m hoping this will be the first of many live interviews. I want to show people that you can build your own business around books.
Getting into publishing can be hard. There are only so many positions and the competition is fierce. But joining a publishing house isn’t the only path.
You can turn your passion for books into a career.
Whether it’s part time or full time, you can make money from promoting, loving, and creating books. I’m hoping to team up with successful bookish business owners to show you what’s possible.
This is awesome! I’ve seriously considered starting to do yours but had no idea where to start and was afraid that was the kind of thing where organizers would rather keep their secrets, which is understandable.
I can’t wait!
Woohoo, I’m so glad you’ll be there Dani! 🙂
This looks great! I’m not sure I’ll be able to watch it live, but will you be sending out the link to the recording to those who register?
Yes I’ll see about sending the replay link out. 🙂 It might not be available forever, but at least for 48 hours or so afterwards.
This is great! I’ve been thinking a lot about being a book tour organizer. I’m not sure if this is the right time for me to start but still super excited for this one!
I hope you also interview those bookish subscription boxes business owners! My mom offered to help me start that kind of business I’m just not feeling confident. It would be great to learn from the experts!
Oh, would the video for the webinar be available even after the live show? I’m not 100% sure I can watch it because timezones. Urgh!
I bet you’ll get some great information out of this webinar, Angelica! Even if you don’t plan on starting immediately, you could totally take notes so that you have them for the future. 🙂
And yes I’d love to interview someone who runs a subscription service! I will for sure plan on that in the future. 🙂
I will probably make the replay link available afterwards—maybe for 48 hours or so. But if we have time we will have a live Q&A at the end of the interview so it’s worth showing up for that if you can!
I have thought about this, but I wasn’t sure how I should go about it. I’m from Singapore, so I wonder if the system’s different. Just registered for the webinar! 🙂 I realised it’s going to be 12am local time, oh well!
Can’t wait to see you there Priscilla!!
I sometimes stay up until 12am to catch awesome Twitter chats, haha! So I know the situation you’re in. 😉
I imagine a lot of the information will still apply to you in Singapore. Besides, a business like this is totally online, so even if you live in Singapore you could still work with US authors/publishers! For example, Danny lives in Europe but she still works with US publishers. 🙂
OMG, I am so excited. I actually thought about starting this business but had too little info to feel confident enough to try it out. Thank you for this opportunity!.
I can’t wait to see you there Jennifer!! I was hoping you’d make it because I know you mentioned wanting to organise blog tours once before. Maybe this will give you the info you need to get started!! You have so many awesome author connections, I feel like this could totally be your thing!
I love this idea! I’m definitely signing up… I don’t have any plans on starting a bookish business any time soon but I’m really interested in how these types of things are run! Such a great idea!
See you there, Harvey! I’m so glad you can make it. 🙂 It’s so fun to have a little look behind the scenes, even if you don’t aspire to run that exact kind of business. I’m just nosey like that, haha. 🙂
Hi – I’m interested. Unfortunately, I’ve already made plans for this coming Saturday. Will the webinar be available after October 3?
If you register anyway then I’ll send you a replay link you can watch afterwards. 🙂 It might not be available forever though, so watch it as soon as you can!
So freaking awesome. I wish I was going to be available to watch live. Will there be a place where we can watch it later?
If you register anyway, I’ll send out a link to watch the reply after the live event. 🙂
This is a great idea and sounds really interesting. I’m helping a friend, and hope to be able to participate. Hugs…Ro
This is awesome! Not that I really want to start a blog tour businesses, but it would be cool to get a behind the scenes look into that 🙂 Can’t wait to see how this webinar goes and future webinars!
I feel the same way. Running a tour business isn’t for me but I’m always super curious and nosey about behind the scenes stuff. 🙂
I do hope a replay is sent out. I won’t be able to make it during that time live, so I am anticipating seeing the recording so I can catch up.
I don’t think I’ll ever go in the direction of being a blog tour organiser – since it would be hypocritical since I myself don’t take part in them – but I am looking forward to see all your future webinars!
