Tribe (Public Tribe)
Any and all romance book reviewers, bloggers, tour hosts and more. Let's stand together united and share our book reviews with the world!
Here's a few "rules" to make everything run smooth. Don't want anyone pushing anyone into the bonfire!
IF YOU ARE NEW to TRIBERR:
1) Click on YOUR NAME at the top
2) Click MY SETTINGS
3) Click TWITTER SETTINGS
4) Be sure your Twitter account is linked
If there is a save or ok button, click that.
5) Click BLOG SETTINGS
6) Enter your RSS feed (http://support.google.com/blogger/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=97933 if you need help finding that)
7)If there is a save or ok button, click that.
8) Click TRIBES at the top
9) Choose this tribe
10) Left side, click TRIBE SETTINGS
11) Use the pull-downs to connect the tribe to your Twitter account and your blog (that you entered above)
12) If there is a save or ok button, click that.
If that all looks okay, go back to the beginning and go to your settings again. Click MANUALLY IMPORT under your blog and any posts newer than 2 weeks should now add to the tribe stream. The other thing to check under your settings is how often you want posts sent out as tweets (CONTENT SETTINGS. The minimum is 20 minutes)
APPROVALS must be done at least ONCE EVERY OTHER DAY. Approve all posts.
The ONLY exception is if the blog post is not book-related.
What are book-related posts? PROMOTIONS, COVERS, BLOG HOPS, GIVEAWAYS, CONTESTS, INTERVIEWS, GUEST POSTS, CONVENTIONS, CONFERENCES, RELEASES, EXCERPTS, REVIEWS... all about books.
** The exception is when a member posts more than once per day. Other members are only required to APPROVE ONE post per person per day. If you write more than one blog post per day, you may want to choose which comes to Triberr. Or tribe members are allowed to choose which they will approve. **
Want the most out of your posts?
USE # (HASHTAGS) and @"person mentioned" so it feeds into twitter in tweet language. If you do not want your blog title to look funny with the # and @ signs, come into Triberr after your post goes live, click on My Posts, click on the screwdriver symbol on your post and edit the title there. It will then go out to your tribe mates with the symbols. Using these symbols will increase your blog traffic.
If you need a break (vacation, convention trip, etc), come here and leave a note to let us know. The reason is very simple: we know when a person does not approve our blog posts and since everyone has the same rule to approve, this may avoid hurt feelings that others aren't pulling their weight. Again, let's not toss anyone into the bonfire!
** Tribe Members who have not signed in after 14 days will be automatically removed from the tribe to make room for more active participants. **
The tribe together has a higher REACH possibility than each member as an individual (all our twitter followers put together is called our "reach"). So we all need to work together, approve all posts daily and help one another build a stronger network within our industry.
