“I’m not quite understanding the Kindle Fire giveaways.  Can you explain them to me?

Excellent question!  When an author signs up with us, we ask them if they would be interested in a Kindle Fire giveaway as a little added bonus to their tour.  The Kindle Fire giveaway comes with the platinum package but  you can add this to any of our tour packages.   The incentives for the author is that their giveaway is advertised in our sidebar of every page of our site that gets nearly 1K hits a day, plus people who try to win the Kindle Fire will have to follow you on Twitter, Facebook, etc. for more entries which gives the author another way to build their up their followers at both social networks.

We use a Rafflecopter form which is placed on the author’s tour page plus on the blogs who host you.  The incentive for the bloggers is that they also have the opportunity to get more followers on their Twitter and/or Facebook pages also.  It’s a win win situation for all involved.  The contest begins the first day of the author’s tour and ends the day after the tour ends which is when the winner of the Kindle Fire is announced.

Pump Up Your Book also offers other innovative ways to help promote and publicize a tour.  Kindle Fire giveaways are but one way Pump Up Your Book puts the innovative back in the ordinary blog tour.
