A virtual book promotion is an “online book tour”. Instead of traveling around the country you can now hold a book tour in a “virtual world”.
What is a Virtual Book Promotion or Tour?
A series of “interviews” either in print or podcasts or both that are featured on websites or blogs that hold your target audience.
What Is a Blog
A Blog is a website that typically has articles and opinions on a specific subject or industry. Blogs usually allow readers to comment on articles so it is “interactive”.
Professional blogs are not the “rants and raves” of the past. Today’s blogs are run by professionals looking for a way to interact with their targeted audience to build credibility and name recognition while increasing profits.

The Purpose Of A Blog Tour
While many authors believe the purpose of a blog tour is to sell more books, that MAY not happen immediately. A Virtual Book Promotion will create BUZZ and internet presence for your book.
