Tour Host FAQ.
Please add sadase98@gmail.com to your address book so it doesn't go to spam when I contact you with invites.
All REVIEW COPIES will be provided to you if you sign up for a tour with RBTL Book Promotions and agree to do a Review.
MEDIA/PRESS KITS and REVIEW COPIES will be supplied in a timely manner prior to Tour START!
I aim to only have 3+ Star Ratings on Blog Tours. If you read a book and do not feel you can give at least 3 stars, please let me know and I can change you to a PROMO ONLY! I in no way want you to feel pressured to give a 3+ Star Rating (I understand that everyone’s taste is different), the Author uses our company for promotion and NEGATIVE Promotion is not exactly what they are aiming for. So if you can post a PROMO only, that is ideal. The other option would be for you to remove yourself from the tour (Please let me know if this is the option you would prefer.)
Please everyone remember to send CONFIRMATION of PRESS KITS, REVIEW COPIES, & TENTATIVE SCHEDULES as they are received and you understand your requirements. It is also very important to send me your Creative Post, Guest Post Topic and/or Interview Questions if you are signed up for these as soon as you can. This way the author has ample time to complete before your scheduled time. I will email a TENTATIVE SCHEDULE TO YOU WITHIN A TIMELY MANNER AFTER FIRST INITIAL TOUR INVITE. THAN UPDATES AS MORE HOST JOIN THE TOUR. Blog Tour Schedules can also be found at this link http://rbtlbooktours.blogspot.com/p/blog-tour-schedules.html and One Day Events can be found at this link http://rbtlbooktours.blogspot.com/p/blitz-schedules.html these will also be updated often. All you will have to do is scroll to find the banner for the tour you are looking for and then locate your blog title and your scheduled date will be there.
FOR BLOGGERS:
No you are NOT required to participate in every tour but it is greatly appreciated to participate in more than just 1 a month.
Tour Host Guidelines Full Version
When you sign up for one of RBTL Book Promotions Events, you will receive a confirmation email with the date you signed up for, but if for any reason you lose the email and you're not sure anymore (before or after the tour has begun), please let me know or double check the schedule I have on the blog (when it's posted). It's always updated.
I always send an email with the tour banner and latest up to date details a week to a few days before the tour starts. If you don't receive the email then you need to tell me on time and never wait until the very last moment or (even worse) don't tell me and don't make the post at all.
I don't stop hosts from having other posts on the same date as ours, but I ask you to please put our post in one of the TOP 3 post though the top spot is preferred, since it's the authors' guest day. Unless otherwise discussed.
• If you are scheduled for a date but for some reason cannot make that date then PLEASE, PLEASE let me know! I won’t be upset and promise that you will still be kept on my tour host list--I understand things happen.
• All promo information should be posted regardless of what else you post such as Creative Post, Excerpt/Exclusive Excerpt Post, Guest Post, Interview, etc. Spotlight/Promo information includes the book info, description, cover, buy links (if applicable) and the author photo (if applicable) , banner and links.
• REVIEWERS: If you receive a free review copy post the disclaimer stating you received a free copy.

hope that I will leave my Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a
review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... My Opinions. I
am posting this in accordance with the Federal Trade Commission's 16 CFR, Part

Due to Amazon's Ever Changing Rules and Regulations Regarding Reviews on their Site Please Post a Disclaimer but Never Never Say **In Exchange For** that throws up a Big Red Flag and Amazon Will Remove your Review.
Book Reviews:
• If you accept a review copy, please post your reviews on Goodreads and Amazon (if you have an account) in addition to your blog and any other review accounts you may have, B&N, etc.

By accepting to receive a review copy you are again agreeing to this.
Excerpt/Exclusive Excerpt Post:
• Excerpt/Exclusive Excerpt Post are decided by you the host. If Choosing an Excerpt (Regular) these are often already in the Media/Press Kit (if Media/Press Kit Contains more than One Please Choose ONLY ONE to Post NOT all that are available). If You Choose Exclusive Excerpt I will let the Author Know that you want a Never Before Seen Excerpt to Post.
Guest Posts:• Guest Post Topics are decided by the tour host unless otherwise agreed. If you are scheduled for a guest post, I will get them to you as soon as I receive them from the author.
Giveaways:
• The time limit of the giveaway and rules, regulations, etc. is up to you, unless specified by the author or the giveaway is via Rafflecopter Code made by me, but I do ask that you make it at least three days, if not a week if possible.
• If the giveaway is via Rafflecopter Code by me you will be sent the HTML code close to the start of the tour or one day event or if you have Wordpress you will be sent a link code. If the giveaway is done this way all you have to do is post the HTML/LINK I will take care of winner(s).
• Upon choosing a giveaway winner/s, please forward the winners email to sadase98@gmail.com with Giveaway Winner(s)/the book name and author in the subject line. The winner’s information will then be forwarded to the author for them to contact and give out the prize(s).
Author, Character and/or Generic Interviews:
• If you are scheduled for an interview please get me the questions as soon as possible so I can pass them on to the author. I will forward you the answers as soon as the author gets them back to me.
Spotlight Posts {Promo}:
• The Promo Post should include ALL the information in the media kit! The book info, description, cover, synopsis, buy links and the author photo, picture and links. No matter what feature you are doing for a tour (review, character interview, giveaway, etc.)it would be nice if everyone would post the promo information of the book with their post.
As a RBTL Book Promotions ~ Tour Host, you are encouraged to accept as many tour invites you can or want to participate in. Of course you are in no way obligated to participate in every tour or any that you do not want to host. This is strictly at your discretion as your time allows you to participate.
If you have not received your information for whatever kind of post you are scheduled, excerpt, interview, guest post, etc. at least a week to 2 days before the event or your scheduled stop - PLEASE contact me at sadase98@gmail.com; I will in turn try to find out what has happened and if for some reason cannot get in touch with the author, please just post the promotional information.
