The Greatest Benefit of Virtual Book Tours

I’ve been promoting authors’ books with virtual book tours (VBTs) since 2007.

I might even discuss two detailed articles I wrote on why VBTs work and how to judge your VBT’s success from my own experience promoting Little Shepherd when it first came out. But I’m not going to talk about any of that. Why? Because that’s not

Straight From the Author’s Mouth: Book Selling Secrets Revealed

If it’s one question that is asked more than any other question that authors ask me about book promotion, it’s “How can I make more sales?”  That’s the million dollar question, isn’t it?
