Yes, all future Book Tours or Services you order will be added to your dashboard including previous book profile pages, tour images etc.
Yes you can, we actually encourage it. When the tour banners are ready, you will see them in your Dashboard and you will be able to download them
The bigger the better as we can always scale the images down. If the images are to small we will contact you and request the source file or ask for another image. Keep in mind digitally when you increase a very small image, the image becomes pix-elated and looses it’s quality. We use Photoshop, Illustrator and Indesign. This also applies to book covers, character images, book logo etc.
A character interview is exactly what it sounds like. It’s when one of your book characters get’s interviewed. You are encouraged to create questions for your character that you would have to answer in return. We have created some Character Interview Questions for you as suggestions. You are welcome to use them. This then will be turned into a tour stop. Ideally you would want a picture of your character. This can be for any genre
Interview questions are very much like a live interview, but in this case it’s just online without the video. It’s another kind of tour stop. We have provided some interview question suggestions. These are available once you are able to login to your dashboard, in addition you will be provided with a document to fill out which will need to be submitted by email for the tour you have purchased.
If you have ever wrote a blog post before, you should have a pretty good idea of what that looks like. We ask that you choose topics. These will then turn into Guest Blog Posts for the tour stops. We have provided some suggestions for you, but ultimately you can create them yourself
We have the IWBT Rewards program. We offer a “Pay Per Post” Cash payout per month. We also offer member monthly raffles.
At this time we do not offer proofs for free , or paid ads.
The magazine tracks impressions, reads, average time spent reading, followers , likes and shares in the magazine generally. We do suggest the links you provide for any links to the book, social icons, your website etc. be your own Bit.ly links so you can track your links. If you are on the mailing list we will send out a general report by the end of the month so you can see the overall magazine statistics
No, you don’t need to have it professionally edited, but your content needs to be spelling and grammar free of mistakes and should be nicely written. All content that is submitted is professionally proofread before the issue launches. If the content is poorly written, too sales driven and has poor sentence structure, we will contact you by phone or email and suggest you re-write it. It is a good idea you have a friend, colleague or family member who can help you with this.
All sales are finals and non refundable. If this is a free ad, you may cancel your ad by the 26th day of the month
You will receive a receipt of the purchase immediately along with the next steps you should take. Within 24 hours or less you will be assigned user login access to your dashboard. Once logged into your dashboard there will be a tutorial overview on how to use your dashboard.
