1. You select the duration of your tour. That depends on
your budget and the amount of time you want to be on
tour. We have packages from 3 day to two months and
everything in between.
2. During the time of your tour, you will be interviewed,
write guest posts featuring an aspect of your book, have
your book spotlighted or reviewed, at one of the many
blogs we set up for you that are geared toward your
book or author platform.
3. Your tour becomes perpetual because as long as the
blog host keeps your interview, guest post, book
spotlight or review live in their archives, you will
continue to benefit from a virtual book tour long after
your tour is over. Your online exposure will be
tremendous. Our goal is to reach the online buyers and
increase your reader base.
That content could include: your writing journey, writing
tips, marketing, you can write something that ties your
book into the content (for instance my first book (non
fiction) I took one on the chapters and built content
around it, submitted it to different online magazines.
Take concepts from your book and write guest post.
Authors can reach far more people and a more
targeted audience with a virtual tour. In contrast, live
author appearances by unknown authors usually have
low attendance.

optimization value and may continue to provide new
visitors to the author’s website for months or years to
come.

Keep in mind technology is a tool. What I do for my
clients is utilize the tool for them, to bring readers to
them. We have to use all the available avenues to

wanted and exposure is there. I have taken the work
out of your hands and done it for you.
