I’d like to invite you to a Virtual Book Tour I’m doing, for two reasons.
One, so you can see how they work, if you haven’t ever listened to one before. I believe this type of VBT can be one of the best things an author can do to promote a book. When used correctly, a VBT can become the centerpiece of all your marketing. For more on how VBTs work, visit www.virtualbooktourexpert.com.
Two, the VBT I’ll be doing with Dr. Vikki Petersen is on an issue which affects many more people than know it: gluten.
Dr. Vikki is the author of The Gluten Effect, and she will be answering your questions on Tuesday, April 6. Sign up and ask your question at www.askaboutgluten.com. (If you’re reading this after the event, you may still ask a question–she’ll be answering questions on her blog–and listen to the replay of the VBT.) When you sign up, you may download the first chapters of the book, including a Gluten Sensitivity Self-Test.
I was shocked to find out how many health issues can be traced to gluten sensitivity. Read More→

Someone just sent me an excellent question about Virtual Book Tours:
“How well can one apply the VBT to non-self-help and non-business books: e.g., science fiction, narrative non-fiction, biography, nature stories, etc? (All the examples on Alex Mandossian’s website are of self-help or business owners.)”
Yes, I believe a Virtual Book Tour can be effective on nearly any kind of book. Alex’s examples are geared mainly to the market he’s most interested and experienced in, i.e. business and self-help, but his principles apply to nearly any kind of book (with the caveats mentioned below.)
With his training, I myself have done Virtual Book Tours for a range of book topics, from the art of parenting boys , to whether common church practices are really pagan in origin, to what’s so great about Christianity, to how to find God in everyday life (the topic of my own VBT on Abundant Gifts). (See www.virtualbooktourexpert.com for samples of Virtual Book Tours that are NOT on business, success, etc.)
Any book on any topic that can engender questions is a candidate for a VBT.
I’ll admit, fiction is a bit of a tough nut to crack. Success with a VBT would depend on Read More→
