I couldn’t wait to share this exclusive interview I did with Alex Mandossian–especially because something I said in our discussion gave him the chills! (Don’t worry, it’s completely G-rated.)
This interview was originally aired on my Books ‘n’ Such book review show. Listen and learn:
- what sparked the idea for this new way of selling books that is revolutionizing book publishing
- why Virtual Book Tours are “green” (and “evergreen”)
- exactly how a VBT works
- how VBTs compare to in-store book signings
- how successful authors really make their money
- Do VBTs only work for well-known authors?
- how you can use Virtual Book Tour Systems to become an expert even if you yourself have not written a book
- why not-so-famous authors often sell more books on a VBT than famous authors
- how you can “tour the world” through a VBT
- how a VBT can enable you to write your next book–almost effortlessly!
- the missing ingredient in the “old era of publishing” that VBTs now add–and how it is making all the difference
- how to get your book idea out of you
- the secret ingredient that sells books
- why the traditional publishing model is dead–and what’s replacing it
- why do people buy more books from Alex’s blog than they do from Amazon?
- the number one complaint of authors–and how to overcome it
- what you’ll learn from the VBT Preview call
- how Alex sold 3500 books for one author alone (more than many authors sell of their own book!)
- Alex’s most memorable book tours
- how VBTs can lead to further media coverage (how would you like to be mentioned on The Today Show?)
- Will Oprah pick up on Virtual Book Tours (what one author who has an “in” with her is doing)
- how to attract big-name experts to interview, even if you’re a “nobody”
- the one thought that will get you going in the right direction–enthusiastically
And finally–what I said that gave Alex Mandossian chills!
