*A tour stop at a bookstore happens just one day—when you leave, it’s over. Virtual tour postings remain in cyber space for search engines to find over and over again; so new customers will continue to find you even after the day of your tour stop.
"Before I went on virtual tour, I used to search my name or my books title on Google just for fun. I would get excited to see I (or my book) was mentioned a few places. After my 10 day virtual tour, I was shocked to see my name on over 400 Webpages!"
*When bookstores stock your books, they eventually sell out—that’s good news. But while your book is no longer on their shelves, you no longer sell books—that’s bad news. The better news is that with online listings you’re not “sold out” until you are literally out of books all together (if that’s even possible).
*Book signing tours require face-to-face communication with buyers and although there are some gifted people out there who are comfortable “meeting and greeting” strangers, for the rest of us, it can be a gut wrenching experience. With online book tours, we who are more comfortable writing than speaking aloud are able to communicate with our buyers from the comfort of our homes.
*Traveling is expensive; and with fuel prices as ridiculously high as they have recently become, even a trip just a few blocks through town can be pricy. With a virtual book tour, you never have to leave your home. And how about touring in your pj’s—that’s my favorite benefit to virtual touring!
*Finally, with a virtual book tour you obtain the potential to reach millions! How many attended your last book signing?
"I decided to try a book signing at our local bookstore. It was hard enough just to gather up the courage to talk to strangers face-to-face, but after 3 hours and only selling 4 books, I was done with book signings."
