books noticed. There are so many books out there. It is absolutely necessary
for an author to promote themselves.” ~ Diane

“Jam-packed with
useful tips that had be scrambling for my calendar. And the conciseness is
frankly another selling point for a busy authorpreneur. Who has time to wade
through a bunch of fluff? Not me. And Roxanne doesn't waste our time with that

No problem. The book provides advice on DIY'ers as well. From lists of blog

believe her branding advice was spot on.” ~ Kirsten

with information on how to not only promote your book but also promote yourself

I have been doing
blog tours with Roxanne for quite some time now and I can say her organization
and skills are without a doubt top notch.
If I ever actually get around to writing my novel I can assure you that
I will use this as a guide. She covers
everything from building your brand to what to expect on a blog tour.
Her knowledge is well
shared and I think every author that wants to build their brand should read
this guy. Simply put this is a must read
for any author that wants to exposure that can come with a blog tour. ~Jen Brooks The
Cubicle Escapee
In this era of self-publishing,
an author needs to do as much as they can to get themselves noticed. Enter the
virtual book tour, a tour of blogs on the Internet - as opposed to visiting
book stores - with the aim of increasing an author's online presence and
ultimately increasing book sales. Roxanne Rhoads guides you through the dos and
don'ts of virtual book tours, with great advice on providing fresh material for
each tour stop. She covers both tours run by established tour companies and
tours you plan yourself, and she includes a list of sites where you can find
book bloggers to contact. She also gives you some great advice about setting up
your online and social media presence, as well as social media mistakes to
avoid.
Roxanne Rhoads is the
guru behind Bewitching Book Tours, the first book tour company I ever signed up
with. If you're interested in a well-organized blog tour, be sure to check out
Bewitching Book Tours. As Roxanne states, "Publication is only the
beginning of the process ... promotion is the road to success."
An excellent quick
guide for all authors. ~ Lynda Dickson -

for anyone considering a blog tour. There is information here that I didn't
know and have never come across before. If you want to do-it-yourself, there is
a section to help with that as well. How to write a good guest blog, do's and
don'ts, even copyright information. It changed the way I think about blog tours
and I will be doing things differently the next time around. ~ kmontemayor Amazon
