Why should I choose Goddess Fish?

Though you have many choices in the world of marketing, we believe we give you the most “bang for your buck”.  We are authors ourselves and understand that marketing and publication are vitally important, but also realize that there is a limit to what you can afford.  With us, you will get top notch service and great exposure, not to mention sales you would never had had before and at a price you can afford. 

We've also successfully coordinated more than 500 tours in our four years in business.

See testimonials from previous authors who've used our services.

We believe we go a bit above and beyond by doing the following for ALL of our tours: 

  • Selectively choosing tour hosts most appropriate for the genre touring (we don't send out blanket invitations, but utilize our extensive and growing database to select hosts who have a readership who'd be most likely to actually enjoy and purchase the book).

  • Inviting our best and busiest hosts first (hosts with over 100 followers and daily visitors, who regularly get comments on their posts)

  • Requiring confirmation of post receipt by hosts -- this helps keep down the number of posts that don't go up on time.

  • Sending tour reminders to the authors and hosts a few days prior to the start of each tour (again, to help make sure the tour runs as smoothly as possible).

  • Checking ALL tour stops every morning to make sure they've gone up (and emailing hosts on the rare occasion they don't to remind them). If a post doesn't go up by midday, we find an alternate host for the tour and add it on to the end of the tour.

  • Actively promoting every tour on our Facebook page, Twitter and various Yahoo groups.

So, what's all this going to cost?

We offer your choice of several plans so you can choose what’s best for you and your budget.  NOTE:  All tours (except the full service tour) require the author to offer at least one prize of their choice during the tour to a randomly drawn commenter that the author chooses.  

NOTE:  In order to have access to our best tour hosts (who book their blogs well in advance) and to have the most successful tour possible, we require tours be booked and paid for at least two months in advance of their start date.

If you decide to partner with us, we'd send you updates of authors/content available to you, and you can choose who you'd like to feature. We'd provide you with information on the author, and if you think it's a good fit, then we'll schedule a blog stop on your blog.

Free Advertising 

Goddess Fish would give you free advertising (promoting your blog and the event) on our social network sites and on our blog.  Additionally, you’ll receive significant numbers of new visitors to your blog from our tour.

Free Content

If you are a writing blog, our authors may be able to offer you articles on the craft of writing , book promotion tips, etc. If you are a book blog, you can interview the author or post an article the author has written specifically for your readers.  Some of our authors may be able to write articles on other topics as well.  We’ll send you the list of options for each tour.

Every month we give away $50 or more in multiple Amazon, BN or Goddess Fish (winner's choice) GCs -- every tour you host earns you at least one entry!
