What
Readers Are Saying About Secrets of Successful Book Tours
“As
a book blogger, I am often surprised by the number of new authors I
meet that do not really promote their books. There are a lot of
inexpensive and free ways for them to do so. Roxanne Rhoads does an
excellent job of laying these ideas out. The book is well-organized
and easy to follow. She points out author mistakes and faux pas. She
speaks from her past experiences. I have a background in marketing.
Roxanne Rhoads has a strong understanding of marketing and does a
great job of explaining her suggestions and ideas. I highly suggest
this book to all authors. There are many great ideas in this book
that can help brand you as an author as well as get your books
noticed. There are so many books out there. It is absolutely
necessary for an author to promote themselves.” ~

“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 -- she gets straight to
the business of book tours. Want to run your own tour? No problem.
The book provides advice on DIY'ers as well. From lists of blog ideas
to the legal in's and out's of using images, Secrets of Successful
Virtual Book Tours has something for novices and old hands like
myself. And I believe her branding advice was spot on.” ~

Amazon Review
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.

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."
Recommended
reading 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
