The Virtual Author Tour™
The best thing that could happen to your book
Author Marketing Experts, Inc., is the only company in the publishing industry offering a full menu of strategic, effective and thoroughly tested Internet publicity.
The Virtual Author Tour
is a revolutionary promotional tool that allows you to delve into the online consumer market and saturate the Internet with your message. Our goal is to generate an online buzz about your book through Blogs, Social Networking Sites, Internet radio, article syndication, and genre-specific ezines.
Can’t afford to tour the country? Tour the ‘Net instead. Unlike a bookstore, the Web gives an author the opportunity to pitch their book to a select audience. Sending you on “tour” is a way of promoting you and your book to a select readership—one that is already interested in your genre. Why sit around a bookstore waiting for “someone” to find you—the Virtual Author Tour™ sends you directly to your ideal customer.

What happens during a Tour?
Depending on your topic, we'll tour you on blogs, discussion groups, social networking sites, and web sites in your field. As an added bonus we also submit articles you’ve written to online syndication services that will keep your articles on file until an ezine editor needs them for a featured piece. Then they'll run your article and voila! Exposure to an entire e-mail list of folks ready to buy your book. Although readership varies, some of the largest lists contain up to 20,000 readers. Online syndication is hot in Internet promotion!
What can I expect on my Tour?
Depending on your genre, you can expect to be featured on high traffic blogs, social networking sites, web sites and article sites (as mentioned above). We try to stay "in genre" meaning that if you've written mystery, we're only going to mystery-related sites but we might also toss in a few online general book discussion groups because these get so much traffic! In addition, we send review copies to select Websites, asking that the review be posted online, with a link back to your site.
What do I need to do to prepare for my Tour?
Nothing. First we'll read your book, then we'll spend an hour consulting with you (this is usually done over the phone) and then we'll target groups that we feel can truly benefit from the sales of your book.
What are some of the benefits of a Virtual Author Tour™?
First off you're going directly to your audience. Secondly, everything on the ‘Net leaves a footprint, so unlike print media which is here today and gone tomorrow, your blog or discussion will stay on the ‘Net forever—or as long as the site archives exist—which means new members of a group will always be exposed to your message!
Also, if your goal is to get traditional media the Virtual Author Tour™ might be the way to go, a recent statistic indicated that over 98% of media now find their experts online!
The Virtual Author Tour™ is also a great way to build your book buzz right where it counts: with your reader. And let's face it, with 800 books released every day in the US, the media window is shrinking but the ‘Net continues to expand daily. Can't get your book into bookstores?
Forget about bookstores! With The Virtual Author Tour™ you can go directly to your buyer, which makes bookstores far less important than in the past. Keep in mind that we're not suggesting you forego bookstore placement altogether but they won't become such a strategic component for the success of a Tour!
What will this cost me?
Much less than you'd expect. We have Tours that start at $2195 and go up from there. Consider this: for less than $20 a day you can implement marketing strategies that will last for a long, long time. You simply can't beat an offer like that!
