\n\t<\/div>\n\n<\/div><\/div>A blog or Bookstagram is required to participate in\u00a0 tours. For exceptions, please contact me directly.<\/p>\n
However, reviews for audiobooks obtained through the Adopt-An-Audiobook page can be posted on various platforms, including Audible, Amazon, and Goodreads.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
No. It is preferred, but not required. The only time audio listening is absolutely required is for reviews (obviously). I understand that audiobook listening is not for everyone, be it because of time constraints or general preference.<\/p>\n
But look at it this way: Your promoting of audiobooks, whether you personally listen to them or not, can still benefit others. Your promotions not only help further the audiobook industry (authors, narrators, and audio publishers), but also reach potential listeners. Someone could discover audiobook listening through\u00a0your<\/em>\u00a0posts and it could change their life.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t No. You do not have to pay\u00a0Audible anything in order to receive audiobooks as gifts.<\/p>\n All you need is a free account which can be obtained by signing up for Audible using an email address and password. No subscription or membership necessary.\u00a0Here<\/a>\u00a0are visual instructions for how to create a\u00a0free\u00a0account.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t Audiobookworm Promotions tours are designed for maximum participation. In most cases, if you sign up for a tour, you are selected to participate.<\/p>\n To confirm your stop date, check the master schedule on the tour page. Please give 12 hours for the schedule to be updated after signing up.<\/p>\n You won't be contacted directly until review copies are distributed (if reviewing) or tour kits are sent out (if not reviewing), so the tour schedule is the best way to see that your sign-up was received.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t Signing up for the Master List is not for the faint of heart! \ud83d\udc97<\/p>\n It means that you are signing up to host a promotional stop for EVERY tour organized through Audiobookworm Promotions. That's typically 3 tours a week.<\/p>\n You will be automatically assigned stop dates and sent all tour kits 7 days prior to each tour's beginning. You will not be required to sign up for individual tours.<\/p>\n \u26a0\ufe0f Please note that this is not a good option for you if you want to be more selective about which tours you participate in or choose your own dates.<\/p>\n Master list participants need to be dependable, above all. If I start to notice a pattern of missed stops, you will be removed from the Master List.<\/p>\n Be aware that tour kits are sent from the email address tours@audiobookwormpromotions.com. This email address is known to wind up in spam folders, so please add it to your list of approved contacts. In addition to emailing tour kits, they will also be posted on the host headquarters page. The password for this page is not publicly available, but you can email me for it. It's also included in tour announcement emails.<\/p>\n Audiobooks received as gifts from Audible.com are yours to keep.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t Sort of, but only where reviews are concerned. I need to know how to get audiobooks to you for review. Even though I'll be sending digital copies (most likely through Audible), there are occasionally global restrictions. Most of the time, we can get around international gifting issues by having you create a free Audible.com account (in lieu of Audible.co.uk or some other marketplace).<\/p>\n In cases with globally restricted titles, I'm afraid there is no \"work around\", but those cases should be relatively infrequent.<\/p>\n If you are from a country outside of the U.S., make sure that I am aware so that we can figure out how to get audiobooks to you when the time comes.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t Absolutely! There\u00a0are some reviewing tips on the\u00a0Host Headquarters<\/a>\u00a0page. I'm available for any further assistance.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t I would never put you in the position of compromising your integrity as a reviewer. If it happens that you dislike a title you were supposed to be reviewing and feel that it warrants a\u00a0rating of less than 3.5 stars, let me know as soon as possible and we can arrange for you to promote the audiobook in another manner (a giveaway post, for example).<\/p>\n Then, once the promotional period has passed, feel free to post your honest and unbiased review. This way, everyone wins.<\/p>\n There are two exceptions to the \"3.5 star\" rule:\u00a01)<\/strong>\u00a0If a sponsor specifically requests a change of rule (you will be notified in the tour announcement email) and\u00a02)<\/strong>\u00a0if you are reviewing an audiobook \"adopted\" from the \"Adopt-An-Audiobook\" page (there is no rating restriction on adopted audiobooks).<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t I understand that everyone will not always be able to fulfill their commitments. That's just life. All I ask is that you give me enough notice so that I can find someone to fill your spot.<\/p>\n However, if pulling out of promotions\u00a0becomes a pattern, we both may come to the conclusion that hosting\u00a0with me might not be the best arrangement for you at that time. You will always be welcome to resume your hosting\u00a0in the future when things calm down a bit.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t For tours, you will almost always have at least 4 weeks. I say \"almost\" because there may be times when that just isn't possible, especially when promoting new releases. Take this into consideration when signing up for a review stop. Don't put yourself under pressure to meet a deadline that will risk decreasing your enjoyment of the audiobook. If possible, choose a date closer to the end of the tour in order to grant\u00a0yourself more time.<\/p>\n As a blogger, I understand the importance of not rushing a review and I try to be very conscious of the deadlines affiliates are under.\u00a0If there is ever\u00a0a\u00a0time when you feel that a review deadline is not possible for you to meet, let me know and we can switch your review stop for a promotional stop. Then, you can post your review soon after the tour.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t I could go on, but you get the idea. You have a chance to get any of these\u00a0\"perks\" each time you participate in a promotion. Think of it as the sponsor (author, narrator, publisher) approaching you and wanting to sponsor a giveaway, guest post, interview, etc. directly on your blog. Each opportunity opens the door two new opportunities in the future.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t Host Headquarters is a page specifically designated for anyone signed up as a host with Audiobookworm Promotions. It's where I post all sorts of updates, helpful information and resources that can be used for reviewing and promoting audiobooks.<\/p>\n Where:\u00a0Here<\/a>. As with most headquarters, it's password protected. After signing up\u00a0as a\u00a0host, you'll receive a welcome email containing the secret password. Be sure to remember it!<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t Kits are sent out one week before an event launches. If you don't receive the email 24-hours after that, check your spam\/junk folder (or \"Promotions\" folder, if using Gmail). Some email providers have settings that automatically delete incoming junk\/spam, so be sure to add tours@audiobookwormpromotions.com to your contacts.<\/p>\n{Sign up for the master list here}<\/a><\/h6>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t
