Context and Voice Blog Tour
As you may know, I have written a book of sorts on the topic of content creation in our new media culture. It’s called context and voice and in the spirit of what the book is about, this is a self published effort and so is the marketing side of it. I hesitate to say marketing because I’m not looking to make a bunch of money off of the project, I’m more interested in spreading ideas and stimulating conversations.
I’m asking you, the readers of Nikao, to help me with my ‘book tour’. I’m planning a blog tour that will run every week day from June 13 to July 8. So I need a least 20 bloggers to pull it off.
Who’s it for?
The book is targeted at content creators (pastors & creatives) and content curators (communications teams) in church space. If you have a blog that fits in there somewhere hit me up and I’ll add you to the tour.
What does it look like?
A tour post can be anything that fits the style and community of your blog but here are some ideas to get you started:
Q & A // shoot me some questions and I will answer them in line and boom…a blog post is born
Specific Thought // have an issue or question that requires deeper insight and conversation? I love tackling the big ones.
Interview // video or audio. I have some plugins to record Skype so I can do the work if you want to do an interview.
Review the book // I’ll be getting a copy to all the blog tour blog owners so if that’s your thing…go for it.
What’s in it for me?
Naturally I’ll give you a copy of the book, it’s an e-book at first and right now it looks like we have all the major formats covered for iPad/iPhone, Android, Kindle and Nook. The paperback edition is printed on demand so for the first week I won’t even have one.
Each day of the tour I will tweet out your post at annoying volumes and post here on my blog directing people to it. I’ll also get knee deep in the comments for the post.
Fill out this handy form to get in on all the radness:
Send your Mom a copy of your book. Please?

You need to send your mom a copy of your book!
I’d love to have you on Backseat Writer, but I wouldn’t even know how to ask questions about this book…and yet I’m pretty sure my readers would be interested. Thoughts?

Vince, I just signed Jeff’s blog up for your tour. He’s settled into one post a month and it’s time to get a new one up- he just got back from InfoComm11, and he’s got ideas swirling all in his head, but he’s in the middle of a design/install right now. The real truth of his blog is that I write it. His info, but my writing. Anyhow. I was just starting the process of getting another article together- also something to submit to Technologies for Worship. I think that your book and the churches Jeff serves need to be introduced.
