What is a Virtual Book Tour?

Monday, February 11th, 2008

If you’ve just found out about our Virtual Book Tour and are not sure what it is all about, let me explain it to you.

A Virtual Book Tour works the same way as a real-life book tour however, instead of stopping by actual bookstores, gift stores and the like, we are touring the virtual world and stopping by blogs, websites and online stores.

The Virtual Book Tour is to promote a buzz around our recently released journal, Journal for the Modern Goddess.  The Virtual Book Tour enables us to travel the world, three times over without needing a passport or a packed suitcase.

As with a real life tour, we plan where we “stop” each day and we are interviewed or give a presentation in the form of an article or present an online video for our readers and the website readers.

Our tour starts today and you can find out which sites we visit each week by clicking on the links below:-

If you have any questions, feel free to leave a comment and we’ll get back to you as soon as we can.

Up, Up and Away!

Book Tour Hosts

Friday, January 25th, 2008

We’ve had a great response to our invitation of becoming one of our Virtual Book Tour Hosts.  It looks like our tour will be starting on Monday, 11th February 2008 and finishing 5 weeks later.

We will be publishing the schedule over the next couple of days as well as a profile of each one of our hosts.

Stay Tuned!

Supporting a Cause

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

As part of our Virtual Book Tour we are going to pledge 10% of our website sales during the tour to sponsoring one or two small businesses through Kiva.org.

Tara and I feel very passionate about giving back when and where we can.  The beauty of the Kiva loan is that once the money is paid back, we can reloan it to another small business.

Personally, I have sponsored 4 small business.  The first two small businesses, Blessing Isehrenren in Nigeria and Alma Patricia Urrutia Bernal in Mexico paid back their loans fairly quickly which allowed me to reloan the money.  I’m now sponsoring Rosa Santiz Perez in Mexico and Adila Musayeva in Azerbaijan.

So if there is any time to buy the journal, it is during the Virtual Book Tour staring on Monday, 11 February 2008.  Stay Tuned!

Tour Being Planned

We are in the process of planning our very first Virtual Book Tour!
