Hello,
I'm sharing a fun blog tour that our own ACFW members are taking part in over the summer. If you missed one, go back and read it in the author's blog archives. This is an education like none other!
The goal is to cover the summer. Feel free to do more posts on your topic or suggest one. Also if you don't have a topic, look through what is planned and see if it jogs an idea. There are so many still out there. Send me your idea and title and I'll add that too. Just write what you know ;-)
It kicked off June 15th and will continue through August 15th. Please take a peek through the other topics and dates. If it spurs an idea, by all means send me a note that you are adding a post to the tour. I'd like to see it run several times a week (or daily would be awesome) so that as the internet spiders crawl, the ACFW conference is constantly brought to the top of the search engines.
We are always accepting new ACFW member participants. You should be able to copy the entire list and update your planned blog posts. There will be an updated posts at intervals through the summer. I'll date the latest blog tour list each time I send out an update.
Whether you are teaching logistics, familiarity or experience in your blog post, the goal is the edification, encouragement and enthusiasm.
Enjoy visiting the other participants and linking to one another as well as the ACFW Conference Blog and raising the awareness of your own blog through your participation. I'd love to hear the stories that the tour spurs discussed on the main loop if you felt your readership or your writing experience grew from this volunteer opportunity.
If you will send me your post, I'll also add it to the ACFW blog through the summer. Please send it privately to pr@acfw.com with CONFERENCE BLOG POST and the DATE in the subject line so I can be on top of those additions. Make sure it is also posted in your personal blog on the date you have chosen or are assigned.
