I asked her to keep us posted here to let us know how it went along the way.

And, this is her final update, now that she's done.

Whew, it has been a very exciting Summer and beginning of Fall.

Now that the blog tour has been completed, I wanted to give you and update and share my results.

In a nutshell:

This was an incredible experience and some fantastic things have come about as a direct result of my participation in a blog tour. I could not have accomplished what I did, were it not for Nicole's incredible Blog World Tour Planner.

Nicole, thank you for the inspiration and for the opportunity to share with your readers. I'd like to list some of the incredible things that have come about as a result of my participation in this blog tour.

Since the launch of my blog tour in mid-June I have:

– Learned how to set up and participate in a blog tour as a guest blogger and a host of guest bloggers

– Teamed up with several of my participants for what will become a seasonal blog tour journey

– Interviewed each of my guest bloggers and featured them on my Web radio show

– Set up a site to feature each season, moving forward. My publisher has asked me to create a book series from this content! ConversationsAboutMarketing.com

– Received book reviews from several of my guest bloggers!

– Learned how to set up and monitor Google Analytics

– Discovered a formula for driving new traffic to my site and having that traffic and my subscribers increase significantly, each week

– Have had thousands of new visitors to my sites

– Have added over 150 new subscribers to my list

– Had a lot of fun, met some amazing people, grown my list and increased my income and my opportunities

Thank you SO much Nicole, for your encouragement as well as for putting together such a valuable guide to guest blogging!

With much appreciation,
D'vorah Lansky

I want to make it easy for you to make money with my affiliate programs.

One thing I understand as an affiliate is that you're busy. I totally get that. 100% And, more importantly, I respect that as a busy marketer myself.

Therefore, I will write a unique blog post just for you that will include your affiliate links for any of my affiliate programs.

Here's the deal. You shoot me 2-4 questions. They can be your biggest burning questions or just a few simple ones for beginners. I'm not picky as long as they are about one of the following topics:

To promote EasyPLR.com:

Topics – PLR, content and content marketing, blogging, affiliate marketing, list-building, etc.

To promote JustAddSweat.com:

Topics – working from home questions, business ideas (mostly geared towards women)

To promote the Blog Tour Guide:

Topics – questions about getting exposure and endorsements from influential people in your market.

I'll write up a blog post, interview-style, that answers all of your questions and send it to you – with your affiliate link included in the blog post.

You can then copy & paste it right into your blog.

You get fresh, unique content written by me!

If you'd like in on this offer, I'll need the following:

1. Your 2-4 questions.
2. Your blog URL.
3. Your full name that you signed up for the affiliate program with (so I can look up your affiliate ID) if the interview will promote EasyPLR.com – or your clickbank ID for the others.

Send those three things to helper@easyplr.com and I'll write it up for you.

My requirements are –

1. Your blog must be family-friendly and somehow related to online business. Plus, no yucky stuff.
2. You must promote the blog post by sending a note to your lists and Tweeting about it on Twitter.
3. No Adsense Ads in the blog post itself.
4. I have the right to refuse for any reason, at my discretion.
5. I have no time or patience for stinkers. If you're not a stinker, feel free to contact me.
6. You can't edit my words without permission – obviously, because then I'd have no idea what I was on the web saying. (Scary!)

I really look forward to hearing from you! (Remember to send the info to helper@easyplr.com)

Have a fabulous weekend!

Warmly,
Nicole Dean

Update: I've gotten several requests but have set aside some time tomorrow to write, so keep them coming.

If you haven't heard the buzz, basically any time we receive a product for free or receive anything in compensation (like as part of an affiliate promotion) – we need to make sure our readers know that.

We also have to be careful in expressing our results from certain programs. Even if you read my Blog Tour Guide, follow it to the “t” and get fantastic results, and send me a testimonial about it, I have to be VERY careful about putting it on my sales page.

Here's the official statement:

http://www.ftc.gov/opa/2009/10/endortest.shtm

The FTC rules are pretty tricky to decipher and I'm not going to try beyond that. I'm not a lawyer, nor will I ever be.

I have a disclaimer on my blog. Actually I posted it quite awhile ago, and I realized that not everyone knows about the free service that I used to create it.

So, here it is:

My disclosure (so you can see a sample — but don't use mine, as I'm going to update it) –
http://nicoleonthenet.com/disclosure/

How you can generate your own, free:
http://disclosurepolicy.org/

Plus, I've found some videos that better explain how we can protect ourselves.
http://blog.disclosurepolicy.org/

Update: ** Of course,  if you use the free software, I DO recommend that you run the disclosure that you generate past your Attorney.

ALSO – I found this site by an Attorney that is selling customized legal documents. I have not purchased it but may. If I do, I'll give an update at that time: http://legalformsgenerator.com/affiliate-ebooks.html

Have a fantastic weekend.

Warmly,
Nicole
