Book marketing is an essential part of being an author , and sometimes a very frustrating process . How do I know ? I know , because I used to be in the very spot you ’ re in right now . When I first became a published author , I had absolutely no idea what I was supposed to do next . My publisher , which turned out to be a vanity press and we will let them remain unnamed , misled me in so many ways . When I think back to those times , it almost makes my head spin . It was in those times though , that I met many other authors that were feeling the same way you may be feeling this very second . It was good to know that I was not alone , but I was so mad about my lack of knowledge , that my publishing company didn ’ t help any of us or give us any clue as to what was next .
That ’ s when my real journey began . I started researching , and learning as much as I could get my hands on . When I had some sort of clue , I came across the term , virtual book tour . It was actually in my quest , that I met an author that was touring via a virtual book tour , and she was inviting me to her event . Well , I just had to know more . What was this and how did it work ? I was so amazed at this process , yet at the same time I was very excited to finally have found a way to help myself and my fellow authors that were in the same boat I was .
I researched this further , and when I thought I had a good grasp on what had to be done for a virtual book tour , I invited all of my author friends to partake , and support each other by setting up and organizing blog stops on each others blogs . The response was so huge , that in April of 2010 , I organized tours for over 30 authors .
This my friends , was the birth of the Virtual Book Tour Café .
