The thing I’m most impressed with is the number of RSS feeds I’ve been picked up in because of the virtual book tour. The 20+ stops has translated into more than 75 places my book has appeared.

Cheryl is saying it like it is. We have many, many, many authors on tour with us as you know, Mary Emma. Some of them think that they don’t have to do a thing but write and I try to explain you can’t let your book die like that and you need to get out there and find ways to get the word out about your book and you should do this on a daily basis. It eventually adds up. I syndicate articles and I remember the editor from one of the supermarket tabloids calling me for a quote for their mag. Now if I hadn’t been out there promoting my “expertise” and at the time it was relationships, he would have never found me, I would have never been quoted and there would not be a big ol’ picture of this on my wall to remind me of my days of being an author about relationships. I can’t stress this more. The authors we had on tour this past month…one of them was out there plugging her stops and her key search words came out at #1 in google when she was just halfway through her tour and her Amazon sales were moving…I know because I was watching them. The ones who aren’t bestselling authors and have it a bit harder, this is the only way you’re going to survive.

These are great tips, especially the one about realistic expectations. Promoting your book is a constant chore. It might not always be fun, but it’s a necessary part of the publishing process.
