Three Things You Can Learn from Attending This Virtual Book Tour
Posted by: | Comments
Dr. Alex Loyd, author of the bestselling The Healing Code
I would love for you to attend my Virtual Book Tour (live on October 28, 2010 or via replay) for two reasons.
One, to get a feel for how a Virtual Book Tour works, so you can perhaps think about whether something like this can work for your book. Experiencing it for yourself will help you know what your readers will experience, and hearing the author being interviewed can help you know how to present yourself and your book.
So it’s a “learn about book marketing” event, on one level.
I’d also like you to attend for the topic itself.
You’ve heard me talk about The Healing Code before, no doubt.
Maybe you’ve investigated it for yourself, or maybe you’re skeptical.
The subtitle promises a lot: “6 Minutes to Heal the Source of Any Health, Success, or Relationship Issue.”
So in this interview, I intend to ask Dr. Alex Loyd to answer skeptics’ questions.

invitation to The Healing Code Virtual Book Tour
On October 28, I will be conducting a Virtual Book Tour for The Healing Code book. (You’re invited to listen to the live or replay–either way, sign up here.)
The way these work, you get to ask the author a question or make a comment. This is what someone wrote: “I have just finished reading your book and have had about 30 other people order it in the last week. Thanks for the gift!”
Publishers can pay for placement in bookstores. They can do what they can to get media coverage.I’ve even heard of how authors “cheat the system” by buying up a lot of books themselves to boost ratings.
But nothing compares to honest recommendations.
That’s what people are doing with this book.
They buy it, try the technique, and it works! So they tell their friends, who buy it, try it, and tell their friends….
Here’s a way to “try it” before you even buy it. Sign up for the Virtual Book Tour, and read the excerpt (more than 60 pages). Read the testimonials on my site, including my story. (I can get the medical records to validate it.)
Ask your question. Attend the Virtual Book Tour on October 28 (or listen to the replay).
This book actually comes with a challenge. At the end, the authors say, “Prove us wrong! And if it works, pass it on.”
Apparently people are taking up the challenge. The book made it to #1 in 8 categories on amazon (General, Health, Mind & Body, Alternative Medicine, Psychology & Counseling, Counseling, Self Help, Stress Management, and Religion and Spirituality). I assure you they did not manipulate anything at all.
Find out for yourself why this book is in its fifth printing since it launched in June, with little marketing. Attend the Virtual Book Tour at least. It could be the start of big changes in your life.
Do Interviews Sell Books?

I just bought a book I can’t wait to read.
Why?
Because I heard a great interview by the author on the radio. I knew I had to get his book.
Alex Mandossian often said, “You don’t make money writing books, you make money explaining books.”
Test it for yourself.
Think about the last time you bought a book. Wasn’t it either because someone recommended it, or because you somehow heard the author talking about it and it seemed interesting to you?
Notice too the viral element. I’m telling you about it, and word is going out via my blog, emails, Twitter, Facebook. All because of one interview! (And no, I do not work for the publisher. They don’t know I’m doing this, but I would love a review copy, hint hint!)
Check out my past Virtual Book Tours and see if you’re not at least tempted to get one of the books. Just browse the left-hand column for an author or topic that interests you. I’ve got lots of topics to choose from, from leadership to parenting to health. www.virtualbooktourexpert.com
The book, by the way, is Richard Swenson’s In Search of Balance: Keys to a Stable Life

“Does God Exist?” Virtual Tour
Posted by: | Comments
Is there actual scientific evidence that God exists?
You get to decide, when you register to listen to the Virtual Tour with Dr. Stephen Meyer. You even get to ask Dr. Meyer a question! (Though the live event is past, questions will continue to be answered at the TrueU.org blog.)
This is rare access to someone who speaks all over the world and is a recognized voice in the scientific community.
Dr. Stephen Meyer is currently director of the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science and Culture and a founder both of the intelligent design movement and of the Discovery Institute’s Center for Science & Culture, intelligent design’s primary intellectual and scientific headquarters.
Meyer earned his PhD in the History and Philosophy of Science from Cambridge University for a dissertation on the history of origin of life biology and the methodology of the historical sciences. Previously he worked as a geophysicist with the Atlantic Richfield Company after earning his undergraduate degrees in Physics and Geology.
Dr. Meyer’s most recent book is Signature in the Cell: DNA and the Evidence for Intelligent Design. Other books he has co-written or edited two books are Darwinism, Design, and Public Education with Michigan State University Press and Science and Evidence of Design in the Universe (Ignatius 2000).
He has also authored numerous technical articles as well as editorials in magazines and newspapers such as The Wall Street Journal, The Los Angeles Times, The Houston Chronicle, The Chicago Tribune, First Things and National Review.
Ask your question about scientific evidence that God exists at www.askstephenmeyer.com and you’ll get all the details of the event.
You’ll also see how a “virtual product tour” works. The product is not a book in this case, but a set of videos on DVD.
